PRESENTATION TO MIR. STRONG.

On Monday afternoon w. M.
Strong, foreman of the Citizens Bank
building, was the recipient of valu-
able testimonial of the friendship and
respect with which he is held by the
men under his charge. He was told
by one of the men that there was
something wrong with the finish
in one of the rooms and wished he
would look at it. Mr. Strong pro-
ceeded to investigate, wondering
what the matter could be, and upon
reaching the room found all of his
men assembled there, yet not suspect
ing in the least the true cause OF his
being sent for. Inquiring of them
what appeared to be the matter with
the finish of the room, Fred Quinn by
answered, Here's what's the matter
with the finish," and in a neat little
speech presented him with solid sill
yer cup and saucer. To say that Mr.
Strong was surprised does not ex-
press it, neither could he express his
feelings toward his men; but when
their labors together are ended and
he has gone out from them, perhaps
never to meet with them again, his
memory of them will be as bright and
lasting as their beautiful Christmas
gift.

attraction of the course. On Dec. ~
the chairman of the lecture commit
tee, e. A. Silsby, received a letter
from Gen. Gordon saying that his

Mr.. Silsby immedia tely replied that
the people were anticipating his
coming very much and suggested
that the Senator make another date
later in the season. To this Senator
Gordon replied as follows:
The disappointment is not greater to
you and your friends than it is to me.
and 1 appreciate most fully your gener-
Gus offer to permit me to make a later
date. l will at once confer with the
bureau and notify You of the time. An
ticipaitng much pleasure on my visit to
your city and with best wishes, am,
Sincerely yours.
]. B. GORDON.
On Monday Mr.. Silsby received this
telegram:
have decided to permit nothing to in
terfere with my engagement. l will lee
ture in St. Johnsbury January II. An
swer at Atlanta.
Mr.. Silsby voiced the sentiments of
our townspeople when he replied as
follows:
Good news. January II is all right.
