which the participants were Tom Muir.
ray, who lived here short time ago,
but now of Grand Rapids, and Tom
McGregor, better known as the Sag
NAV Kid. Murray won the fight in
three rounds, the Kid claiming he had
cramps in the stomach. Yes: the pile
drivers that the lumberiack pugilist
administered probably caused the
cramps. A return match has been
arranged for at a recent date.
The increasing number at each Spir-
itualist meeting at the Red Mems hall
every Sunday evening is certainly a
striking exemplification of the keen
interest with which the audience is
anxiously seeking the truthful teach
ings and doctrines of the greatest
scientists and philosophers of modern
times. It is a privileged luxury to
hear Mrs. Ted Smith in her inspira-
tional oratory and to receive her
tests as a practical illustration to
substantiate what she speaks. 1t is
to be hoped that the additional fifty
chairs will be forthcoming, as ex-
pected, to accommod ate those who
have had to stand the past few Sun
days. @s.-e ~. .,~@---s. ~.-. ...-~~~. '.- ..-
