Burlington this week. This makes va
camcy in the town that cannot be easily
filled, for society, especially that of Unity
church, have counted Mr.. and Mrs.
Mower among its most prominent MEM

many business men as has occurred with
in the past few years, is a source of much
regret to those who have an interest in

hoped that something may be done to
stay this steady departure. Wherever
circumstances induce Mr. and Mrs. Mower
to abide the well wishes of the people
will abide with them.
