lurch of the machine threw him In front

Another removal from our village and
one to be regretted, as 1t takes from us
one of our best families, Is that of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles George. They have
purchased a farm In Brimfield. and will
move to 1t sometime before the first oil
August. The farm contains some sixty.
five acres, with excellent buildings, well
stocked with fruit, and Is considered one
of the best farms in Brimfield. 1t is stu
ated only short distance from the center
and quite near the place now owned by
Mr.. and Mrs. William Kay. With Mr..
and Mrs. Charles George and Mr.. and
Mrs. Kay in Brimfleld, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Harvey George on Moulton Hill, our vii.
lage people can be at no loss for a pleas.
ant place to go for drive and visit. 1t
is expected that Hiram Rathbun, the new
eff the Riverside Wooden
company, will occupy the Champlin house
on Mr.. and Mrs. Georges removal.
Rev. T. G. Druley, for the past twelve
years pastor of the local Universalist
church, has received and accepted call
from the Universalist church at Belpre,
Ohio. Mr.. Druley will preach his last
sermon here on the first Sunday In Au.
gust, and Immediately after the family
will move to their new field of labor.
The church society at Belpre is the Oldest
of that denomination In Ohio, and one
with which Mr.. Druley is well acquaint-
ed, as he preached in the same church
some twenty-five years ago, and it will
be going back to old scenes and associ-
atoms for both himself and family. 1t is
Mrs. Druley's early home, and the family
will reside in her mothers house. Many
years will come and go before another
family will move from our midst who will
leave behind them any more friends to re-
greet their departure, and we take this &C.
casion to express our own personal appre
citation of Mr.. Druley's uniform kindness
and courtesy to us In all cases where II
has been necessary to ask him for infor
nation. Another most excellent trait
possessed by Mr.. Druley, and one whic
we have heretofore found about as rare
as angels visits, is the fact that when ar
error has been made In this column anc
he was responsible for 1t, he has promptly
assumed the blame. Mr.. Druley and
family, by their many neighborly kind
nessess, sympathy, and loyalty to all, ir
respective of any religious affiliations
have endeared themselves to the entire
community, and they will be followed tt
their new home by the best wishes of {
legion of friends left behind them in Stat
ford.
