Mr.. James Wright returned
this week from visit to his old
home in Ireland. He had a pleas.
ant trip and an enjoyable time gen.
orally, although he found 40 years
had wrought many and sad changes
in the old land. The most of his
old friends were under the sod, and
a new generation had taken their
places. He thinks Ireland is a
ruined and desolate country, with
far less prosperity than it had when
he was young man.
Mr.. E. w. Savage, of Ashta.
bula, Ohio, who has been here for
the past couple of weeks to see
how he would like tin the mean
time assisting Mr.. d. Dean to
organize the hardware business
left on Saturday for home. He was
SO favorably impressed with Su-
perior and its bright prospects that
it is more than probable he will
soon return and engage in some
kind of business here. Mr.. Savage
has made many friends during his
short sojourn liz this place. lie is
one of the kind who would do well
here, and we would like TO see him
settled among us.
