r. We learn from the Arcola (Ill.) Record
that Rev. Benjamin. Lloyd died at his home
in that place, on Monday morning of last
week. Mr.. Lloyd was boru in 1899, either
in Ebeusburg about two miles east of it,
and was the youngest brother of John and
Stephen Lloyd, of this place, both now
deceased. He left :his county in 1918 and
settled in Butler county, Ohio, from whence

Thomas Daant, tramp, hailing from
New York City, was over by freight
tanning Point, east of Gailitzin, on Thurs

We trust that the picnic to be held on
Saturday, july 3d. to aid in refurnisbing the
pastoral residence connected with the Cath
olic church in this p ace, will be such in point
of fuapeial success as to convince the worthy
young pastor that he not only holds prom
inent place in the hearts of bis own people,
but that the good Eislles of the entire com
muniIy, regardless of religious differences,
ic ,;.,, n fy,
needed articles in the way of household
furniture. just where the picnic will be
held we are not now prepared TO say, but
that it win be a most enjoyable affair is
evinced by the fact that the ladies in charge
of the preliminary arrangements know full
we'll how to provide for such festivities.
