Mrs. Samuel Price entertained her Sun
day School class of young men at her home
on EastMain street Wednesday evening in
a most enjoyable manner. The class and
a few invited friends numbered about 20
persons, and at 7.30 o'clock they were in
vited to the dining room where many
tempting dishes had been daintily pre-

good things the guests returned to the
parlor where the remainder of the even

vocal and instrumental music. At ten

happy returns for the evenings enjoy

The people of this community were
extremely sorry to learn through the an
nouncement of Bishop Monaghan that
we are to loose Father McGoldrick, the
popular young priest who for the past

him much success in his new charge.
He expects to leave for Easton, Md, on
Monday. and his successor. Rev. Charles
A. Crowley, of Glen's Falls, N. Y, will
arrive here during the coming week.
