DAVID HUNTER NOT DEAD
Came Up From Simonsville to Talk About the
 Surface Water.

David Hunter of Simonsville, Judge Cole and Attorney James k. LaWlof were among the spectators ill the al dermanic chamber last night. MT Hunter came in to inquire if the alder men intend to do anything down ms way this winter to protect private property from damage by surface water but the board adjourned so abruptly he didn't have chance to make a statement while the august body was in session but he did lay down the law to Chairman Blakeslee after the session closed. He says the trolley built the road high enough to keep the water off their tracks but neglected to take any notice of how It affected others with the result that everybody down there is finding fault and not without good reason. MT Blakeslee sent him away happy. This is a way the chairman of the board of aldermen has of doing things. Judge Cole sat through the meeting with his hands resting on hIs cane and ney- CT moved until the clerk started to read the report of the bureau of as sessment regarding the library park project when the disciple of Black stone whirled around In his seat and gazed intently across the chamber and kept this up until he heard the chair declare the motion to place 1t on file carried and then he leaned back In his chair and smiled approyingly. MT Lawlor was doing some missionary work for the proposed Town plot trol- ley and incidentally famlliarizing him. self with the looks of things about tue place so that he may know all the ropes in case. it turns out to be true ] that he is to be the assistant city clerk for the next two years. The elry is making money right along in having limbs of the law act in that capacity and, no doubt, this is the object iIl bringing in another professional man to replace Mir Reeves.

THE WOMAN'S BOARD
OF MISSIONS
WILL BEGIN ITS THIRTY FIFTH
YEAR WITH A MEETING TOMOk-
ROW AT CENTRAL UNION.

The Woman's Board of Missions,
converting in the chapel of Central
Church on Tuesday, September 8, 2:30
pm, will open it's thirty-fifth year
with a fun and interesting program.
Following last years attractive and
helpful course of study on China, the
Board this year takes up IAN Outline
Study of Japan-Dux Christus," the
topic for the day being THE Island
Empire, It's Physical Features and
Racial characteristics" four ladies
presenting each a five-minute paper on
the same.
Mrs. Garland of the Morning Star
will talk of Micronesian work, its pro-
gress, present conditions and needs-a
story of much interest to old-timers
because of this Boards early relations
to that work, and abundantly worthy
the attention and interest of those to
whom it is new.
Reports of Chinese and Portuguese
work will also be given.
The program is rich in good things
and it is hoped a large attendance of
members and friends will make the
opening session of the year an encour-
aging one.
Strangers in the city are cordially
welcomed.
