On Friday of last week all Townsend
waited news from Buffalo with bated
breath, the suspense lasting many hours,
when at an early hour on Saturday the
most shocking news-announcing the
death of that most popular, patriotic and
noble man-President Mckinley, was
received here. The newspapers during
Saturday were constantly consulted and
the streets were filled by eager crowds,
but everybody showed that they deeply
felt the bereavement, owing to their
undying love for that typical American
one whom all loved SO well, and one
whom it was so pleasing to honor and to
give the greatest praise at all times. After
hearing the terrible news on Saturday
our townspeople formed truly very
large crowd on the streets discussing the
to all true Americans. but all
our citizens were well nigh prostrated
over the news. The chieftain of Amer
lea, that most glorious country had been
slain by an anarchist, an most cowardly
assassin and this community, as did all
The other communities, bowed its head |
with the most profound sorrow. But
lespite this great misfortune we very |
and solemnly look up to Him,
'aying: "God reigns and the government
1t Washington still livesI' Long live
America!
