Irish life during the Rebellion of '9S.
| 1t is romantic drama in which the
kindly pathos, original wit, and light

of the strongest Irish plays on the
| American stage.

GAINESVILLE, MIMI Father Ryan in
his sermon last Sunday numerically
scored the newspapers for publishing
news that We're deliberate lies, and
often colored in a manner to de-
ceive the unwary.s His sermon reused
the deepest interest of the entire con-
gregation, and it is safe to say that
if a certain Minneapolis daily paper
heard the sermon it would have an OPP
portunity to learn the feelings of a
great many country people regarding
the highly colored and false reports
| daily published.
