Miss Mary Agnes Thicker, the authoTess
of "Signor Monaldinis Niece has written
and published a new book called BY the
Tiber" which is naturally attracting much at
tention Some incidents taken from Mi,s
Truckers observation while i'll IN hospital IN
Rome have given rise to the impression that
the whole book is founded in fact. The au-
thoress has named the female character Va
leria Ellsworth a little compliment to our
town. which was her birthplace. She be-
longs to family well known here twenty
years ago, though il is long since any have
lived here. Her father was Hon. Richard
Thicker known in this county a. an active
politician in the Democratic party, gener-
alton ago. Old residents OF Ellsworth will
remember the family well among the first
settlers of the place. The taste for litera-
ture was inherited and Miss Mary is not the
only member of the family who has shown
literary taste, three of the sisters having al
ways written though anonymously. The
sisters were and are above the average of
women in education, refinement and ability.
"By the Tiber" is highly praised as liter
cry work and will prove very interesting to
those of our towns pc ople who remember
the author"
