LEITRIM.
The parishioners of Dumkeeran sim
cerely regret the departure from amongst
them of Rev. Thomas Drum, G. c., who
has been transferred to the county
Cavan. During the lenghthened term Of
nine years in the parish Father Drum
endeared himself to all by his genial and
thoroughly good-natured disposition,
never for an instant losing an opportu-
nifty wherey he could improve either the
spiritual or temporal welfare of those
committed to his care. The appoint
ment of Rev. Francis O'Hara, G. c., Kill
lasnett, as successor to Father Drum,
compensates, however, for,the loss of the
latter gentleman, as Father O'Hara, dur
ing his previous stay in the parish (some
eleven or twelve years ago), won for him
self, by his sterling and unhinching de-
votedness to cause of country, name
which will long be remembered in Innis-
none can forget that to his
energies in the National
cause was due the success which attended
the working OF the old Land League
branch during the strormy time of 1890.
