Inc man OF woman mat llNes, passes
through the varied experience of years and
dies without visiting Rockland, cannot, in
my unsssuming judgment, be said to have
fulfilled their allotted mission here on earth
| do not intend to insi uate that person
must visit Rockland in order to pass to the
realms of the just with due dignity and be-
coming grace, or that sojourn in this city
is particularly necessary for unalloyed happi-
ness in the future, for believe il is a settled
fact that Rockland people never go direct to
that desirable bourne from hich no good
citizen returns, but takes the steamer to
Clark's Island and then from her granite
peaks wings his joyous flight into eligible
futurity.

suburbs is mine of wealth exceeding by far
the silver mines of Mexico OF the gold mines
of California. Rockland's brains, genius
