SUNDAY STORE CLOSING-A BIG
CHURCH MEETING.
The Baptist church was filled last
evening to it's utmost capacity at the
union meeting held to hear discussions
and opinions on the enforcement of the
existing laws regarding the stores, bar
Der shops and other places, and espe-

to keep open on Sunday, and had since
the agreement was made lived up tt

Judge Hubbard made quite an elo

among other things stated that h
blamed the chief executive of the Dor
ough, the warden, not only the pres
