close to the romantic Sugar Loaf mountain
was the scene of an unusually large soca
demonstration on Monday evening last, the
occasion being the holding of festival 10
aid of st. Mary's Catholic Church at thai
place. The visitors commenced arriving at
an early hour in the evening, and by s
O'Clock a very large number of persons had
assembled, so large that the dancing por-
ton of the programme had to be dispensed
with, and many were compelled to find
quarters at the parsonage. The receipts OF
the evening were fraction over $500. The
| gold watch yielded the handsome sum of
$685., the fortunate party being Rev. DR..
Messner, of the Catholic University of the

selected to collect aid for the festival, Miss
Gertie Clements returned the handsome
sum of $144, and received the prize, a lady's
handsome gold watch, which was present
ed by Col. VIM. Kilgour with appropriate
remarks. Miss Mary Ganley returned Sal,
and the balance sums ranging from 1856 to
800. The services of these ladies will not
be overlooked by the very worthy and en-
ergetc pastor, Rev Father Riordan.
Among the number of visitors from other
parts of the State was Rev. Father Leonard :,
formerly stationed at GAINESVILLE. Oysters,
with other substantials and delicacies, were
furnished by the ladies from side tables in
the hall. a..
Approaching the very great disappoint;
ment of the younger portion of the crowd /,
Father Riordan took occasion to say that
they should have dance at an early day.
Death of a Worthy Citizen We
learn with feelings of sincere sorrow of the
death of Mr.. Walter Marion Talbot, on
Tuesday last, of pneumonia, at his late res
idence near Washington Grove.
Mr.. Talbot was in the sixty fifth year of
his age, and was well and favorably known
throughout the county. Though naturally
quiet and retiring the deceased ever evil
denced an interest in all matters that were
connected with the public welfare. For
number OF years he was an efficient mem
Der of the Montgomery County School
Board. Subsequently and to the time of
his death he was actively engaged in the
real estate business.
Possessing cultured mind and being a
consistent and practical member of the Pres
byterian church, it was in the domestic and
social walks that he was best known and
appreciated In the former he was all that
a husband and father could be-in the latter
his warm and cordial manner, pleasant
bearing and genial disposition made him an
agreeable companion. To be brief, we can
say with feelings of pleasure that we believe
Mr.. Talbot has gone to his grave respected
and loved by all who knew him.
The funeral takes place this friday
morning at II o'clock, from his late resi-
dence, Rev A. r. Graham his pastor, Off
