IRIS —— The following Mormon story from Hantingdon county is a little tongh, tho it may be true: In Buck Valley, just across the dividing line in Fulton county the sober-minded people are intensely aroused over the conduct of two Mor- mon missionaries, named Henry Showe jand David Ewing, who have been labor- fog among the citizens of that locality or several months. The two elders, by their persuasive eloquence, have soc ceeded gaining over 100 converts. They are supposed to be the same parties who aroused so much indigoation in certain portions of Maryland and West Virginia a few months ago, and who were given a limited time tn which to get out of the country. Several of the proselytes, in- cluding a number of young women, have gone to the Mecca of Mormonism in Utah, having had their traveling and other expenses paid by the two mission. aries, through whom they were convert. ed to the Mormon religion. 2 L i I 1 i INE COMES OVER.
