have been employees of the Combination

time. You have been connected with
this company as foreman of the mine,
and under your able and efficient man.
agement this mine has been extensively
developed and the output has been
equal If not greater than any other of
the same capacity In the state. We had
hoped that you would still remain with
us, and that this relation would still
exist, for, by your courteous treatment
of all the employees you have demon
strated the fact that a man may be in
authority and still he a gentleman; but
as you have chosen otherwise and have
decided to depart for other fields, we
wish you success, and hope your most
sanguine expectations may be fully
realized. -.-----
lit Is gratifying to your many friends
here tonight to know that your future
outlook is bright and encouraging, and
we hope ere IL months more shall roll

ty may reach up into the thousands, If
not equal to the best in the country.

here tonight is to present you with a
small token of our respect and esteem.
For this purpose we have purchased
this gold watch and chain. On behalf

IT is the earnest wish of all the boys
that when this watch is worn out eat

young as ever and in full possession OF
his manly faculties"

follows: .Mrs. Carroll-The feeling of
regret that pervades the breasts Of
many friends of Mr.. Carroll here to-
night likewise extends to yourself, his
companion through life. His sorrows
are your sorrows; his joys are your
joys. A loving wife. charitable wo-
man, good neighbor, these noble
traits endear you Ito all. The employees
who have been under the supervision
of Mr.. Carroll would consider them
selves ungrateful when in remember
ing him by presenting him with a tok-
en- of their respect and esteem If they
would not do likewise with his estima-
bic wife. They have obtained for this
purpose this brooch. They ask you to
accept 1T with their best wishes, and
hope that like the diamonds encased in
Ii, your eyes may never lose their lus-
tire, but ever shine brightly and hope
that many times din the future 1t may
recall fond recollections of your stay
amongst u.s."
