It Is stated that the money so received by the association will be applied t.o Its Indebtedness, and also that the Y. M. C. A. will be kept intact as an organization with as many of the activities continued as possible In such quarters as con be procured.

What will become of the neat brick building which the occupied for the last 23 up to March 15, when Its doors were closed, is not known. It is understood from an agent of the purchasers that the building will bo offered for sale, to be moved off the lot. The ground Is to be used a.s the site for a filling station. If the building Is not sold and moved away It will have to be razed and the material and debris hauled away. There is much regret, everywhere, especially in Dixon, that the has lost Its building.

The building was the place of various organizations in Dlxon. The Hi-Y club Is to have Its meetings in the new school building.

DIxon's Y. M. C. A. was established In 1889.

Three of the charter members are living, E. B. Raymond, John Laing and A. P. Armlngton.

Sentiment was created for the new building, just sold, following a revival meeting held in Dlxon in 1000. It Is understood that Prof. A. H. Lancaster of the Dixon schools, is the leader In the movement to keep the nucleus of the active and work for a complete rehabilitating and stabilizing of the organization.
