Roosevelt For President
WaJiinifton, December 4 ? Official
W"^ lungton is displaying great inter
in Presidential polls these days.
The out' that has attracted the most
attention is t lu* poll recently complet
ed by l ountry new-papers, which
reflect ins' as it is believed to do, rural
otiu Mii::ll-town opinion exclusively, is
regarded as highly significant. If there
wi tv a wide variation between the re
sults s'liiuii by the different efforts to
pot :i era?* -sect ion of national politi
cal views at this time, Washington
miul: : ;k>! be >o interested. But when
tb-.- W.'ckly Newspapers' poll, the Lit
f-'iry 1 )i','est poll, the Gallup, and the
p !i taken a >hort time ago by Robert
J. Liti'as all agree within a fraction
of i>:.'e p'f cent, the total effect is
impressive.
.:!! the p<>!!> agree in giving Presi
de:.; Roo-'evelt still the best of it, bv
approximately 53 percent to 47 per
fCIIi.

T,he range is wide and includes the :
innumerable varieties of toys and

to tilto more expensive presents fori
?grown )>eople of more than moderate
n^eattw. In Syiva, this year, shoppers)
can find almost anything that tfhey
may have on their li.-t, from a baby's
rattle to an automobile; and they
will find that the priceJ are 140 higher
here than elsewhere, but on the con
trary, that in many instances they
are lower than in the cities.
With the idea in mind that the
tlhrifty shopper i- the early shopper,
the Sylva shops began putting nj>
their Christmas decorations and dis
playing their .holiday mcrcliandisc,
immediately after Thanksgiving, and
iiiosit of the shops are now most at
tractive in their iholiday attire, and
present a most pleasing appearance, j
The shops of Sylva invite the peo
ple of Jackson and t,he surrounding
counties to visit them, and to bring
the children to see the wonders from
Santa Claus' toy shop.

BAPTIST PASTOR
RESIGNS HERE
Rev. J. (jray Murray, pastor of the
Sylva Baptist church, tendered his tes
ignation to the church, at the morn
ing service, last dunlay.
Mr. Murray has been in poor health
tor the past two years, and stated
that lie found that there are import
ant duties connected with fte pastor
ate of the church that He found him
self unable to perform.
He is generally beloved by the peo
ple of his church and of the commun
ity, and they had hoped that the >tala
of his heailh would improve suffi
ciently to permit him to continue hi*
ministerial duties.
A year and a half ago, Mr. Murray
offered the church his resignation; bit
instead of acting upon it, the church
granted him an indefinite leave of ab
sence, which he spent in rest, and re
gained sufficient strength to return
to Sylva and again take up his duties.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray will leave
about the first of the year for ('ary,
\)*ake county, where thfty will make
their home. They leave behind them
in Sylva a great many friends and a4
mirei*, who will regret to see them
