I Two traveling men from New York city were discussing politics at the Murray this morning. One says “I’m going all the way to New York to vote for Taft and Chanler.” The other says: “You haven’t any the best of me for I’m going the same distance to vote for Bryan and Hughes.” Now how is a shoe string gambler going to figure the dope so he can place his bets correctly? The troubles of the Mission workers seem to grow with the passing of each day. So rude was a young man by the name of John Smith, who attended the services last night that Daniel Haley, a member, filed an affidavit against him charging him with disturbing religious services and other charges, including profanity. The affidavit is in the hands of Constable Smith and will be served soon. The mission workers are experiencing much trouble lately in managing their audiences, as many people go there to laugh and talk. We are Informed, however, that every- person who in the least interrupts meetings hereafter will be prosecuted. Mr. Haley will see to it that they are brought to justice. * FRENCH TOWNSHIP ITEMS.
