ing been mourned as dead for five
years, William Aver, son of Mrs. Mary
Aver, has returned to his home The

tune, five years ago, working for far
mers and on the railroads Becoming
discouraged with the west, he worked
his way to the eastern seaboard and
shipped as deckhand on a merchant
vessel bound for Liverpool. For some
time he wrote home, but after a while,
receiving no answers to his letters,
and inferring from that fact that his
mother was dead, he ceased to write,
and remained abroad, working on YES

constantly reduced, until utterly dis
couraged with life he returned last
