he was here for several months in the
same capacity not long since, and all who

ably impressed. We are sure he will fill
the bill and we welcome him to Wa
Keeney.
j. l.. Morton has resigned his posi-

for number of years and for several
years has had charge of the company's af-

public and at the same time mindful of
his employers interest. We learn that
himself and family will continue to re-
side here, for time at least.

work, as also the singing by the choir
and the children, was thoroughly appreci-
