"Should auld acquaintance be for
got'' was in the hearts of the neigh
borhood Monday when it was learned
that John Magill and family would
be in their midst no more. So while
the sun shone and in the light of day
the battlements were stormed and the
barricades of sanctity were trodden
down by the love of friends and the
old home was given over to the ene-
my, who this time only used the
heavy guns of good will and happy
good cheer. 1t was day that will
long be remembered. Mr.. and Mrs.
Magill have toiled and sweat by their
neighbors in the years past and gone
and this silent bond of love and SYM
pathy thus woven in their hearts
knit them very firmly into one great
brotherhood. The young folks not
liking to see the older ones share all
the pleasures or to demonstrate
their fidelity and good will, trooped
in at night and in laughter and mirtb
and song made old Father Time retire
for while while they played havoc
with his forelock and made the best
of their lost opportunity. The whole
family may always feel they have
friends here.
