good natured mood this morning when
he entered his Office at the Court House.

referring to him was correct, and glanc-
ing over a list of names, said there were
22o warrants in his office that were
marked not returned.

the Sheritf's Office is not responsible for;
the Prosecutor is the man responsible
after defendants are admitted to bail"
rs there any desire not to arrest the
persons returned, not found?"
Decidedly not; they were not arrested
simply because they were not found. AS

dwelt on the advantages gained and to be
gained by attendance at the services.
every man held aloft a lighted candle the
whole church seemed ablaze of light,
while the missionary dedicated those
present to the service of the Virgin
Mary.
After the dedication services were
| ended, Father DeLargy made a few very
| pathetic remarks as q good bye to the
parishioners, and many sob was choked
and tear wiped away while he spoke. He
dwelt upon his stay in the parish, the
work that had been done, and wound up
| by asking the parishionerS of St. Johns

their heavenly reward. The Rev. Father
