Watson contends that the char

elusive employment contracts. He
filed a quo warranto action
against the company and seeks
information that should shed

he succeeds in securing complete
and unequivocal answers.
Watson asked how much the

many persons granted such per-
mits were admitted to or. disap-

How much money was collected

day evening, and a Special Ses-
sion of the Conference held Mon

The old pews in the church
auditorium have been in use for
SO years or more, but as the years
have passed termites have made
inroadS upon them. The time has
finally come when new pews are
imperative. The congregation
will miss these familiar, COM
Portable pews, which have grown
dear to them through the years.
In the new installation the pres
ent arrangement of seating will
be preserved, and the new pews
will be comfortable. They will
be things of beauty and joy.
1t is the expectation to have the
new furnishings installed in about
two months. It is hoped that the
manufacturer can deliver them
before Christmas; however that is
not guaranteed.
The pew installation continues
a plan of property Improvement
begun some months ago. Very
near $500 have already been
spent, including the New Ham
mond Electric Organ, costing
$1,000. The organ is to be dedi-
Gated next Sunday at the evening
