superior to Anderson County's for poul-
try and stock raising and those facili-

Passed Away in Ireland.

Tho Munster Express of Waterford,

tains the following relative to the death
of Mrs. Mary Dunphy:
"The death of Mrs. Mary Dunphy of
Tribird, Kilkenny county. occurred on
Nov. 20, 1906, at the age of 70 years.
and was a member OF an old and re-
spected family. Her son, John Ii.
Dunphy, was on q visit to see her in
1901, after being absent for % years,
and spent a part of his time with his
friend, Mr.. James Farrell, d. c., of
Kilmacow, formerly of the circuit court
Of Memphis, Tenn. Mr.. Dunphy is one
of the leading citizens Of Duluth, MIMI,
where he has lived since he left his
native country, "a years ago. We ten
der to him and her son, Walter, our
sincere sympathy. She was inferred
in the family burying ground at Kill
naspig Catholic Cemetery. The fu'ieral
was large and representative. r. I. p"
Mr.. Dunphy wishes to extend his sin
cere thanks through the Irish Stand

friends, and especially Mr.. James Far

of MIR. Schiffmann, and that Mr.. Con-
ley would be chairman of the license
committee. formerly held by Mr. Whit
comb. Mr. Conley will take the places
on all committees held by Mr.. Schiff-

Though such action is opposed by the
man for whose benefit it was taken, At

noon filed with the governor an appli-
cation for the communication to life i'm
prisonment of the sentence of death
now resting on William Williams, who
shot and killed John Kellar last April.
Mr.. Cormican informed the governor
that he took the application to Will

refused to sign it; the attorney there
fore made it ON his own responsibility.

much preferred to be hanged to serving

Died Near MeIrose, This State.

Patrick Graham, an old and well re.
spected farmer living two miles ives
of Melrose, died rather suddenly last
Saturday morning. He got up in the
morning, as usual, and went about the
house apparently in usual good health
About an hour and a half later, he
complained of feeling very sick, and
had to be carried to bed where he
died in very short time.
He was born i'm Ireland, and came
with his parents TO this country when
he was q young boy. At the age CT
%, when the Civil War between the
North and South broke out he enlist
ed in Company d, list Minnesota
Mounted Rangers under the late Cap
tain Oscar Taylor, and was honorably
discharged in 1868. About thirty
three years ago he settled on his pres
ent homestead, where he married his
surviving widow, of which union
twelve children resulted, all living.
One daughter is married to Mike
Burke, Of Melrose. His funeral took
place last Wednesday from st. Pat
rick's Catholic church, that city.

of Santa Brigida have sometimes had
occasion to notice with regret lack
OF proper decorum on the part Of per-
sons attending services in which the
social feature enters. It should be
carefully kept in mind that it is very
bad form to behave with levity or ir-
reverence in any place Of worship. A
proper regard for the feelings of others
requires a most punctilious observe
ance of the external formalities of wor-
ship and a scrupulous abstention from
all acts that may distract or annoy
others. 1t may be stated specifically
that to carry on a conversation in q
Catholic church during a service is
considered to be very offensive. II
necessity requires remark, it should
be made and answered with the utmost
brevity.
1t is not insinuated that English
speaking people are special offenders in
this respect, for in point of fact people
of other nationalities, including Cath
olics, often afford ground for like criti-
cism.
The point deserves more attention
than it has hitherto received, if only
from the point of view Of social con-
veniences.

equally their lesson for u.s. The rec
ords of our sins and our mistakes may
teach us as lasting a lesson as the rec
ord of our good qualities and noble
deeds. Hence we should read all the
Inscriptions on the New Years sign
post.
Don't laugh at New Year resolutions
1t is only a fool who makes light of
such things. The greatest poet of our
time did not yield to this folly.
Il held it truth with him who sings
TO one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher
things"
There are so many things about
which most of us can make good reso-
lutions. There is the age-old but ever
new question of intemperance, cursing
the fairest lives, blighting the bright
est intellects. destroying health and
strength and damning souls. There
is the horrd vice of impurity, so re-
voting that it may not be written about
nor even spoken of. There are other
things of lesser moment, perhaps, yet
worthy of our most solemn New Years
thought. OF course you are a good ciu-
zen, but do you always pay your bills
punctually" How about that subscrip-
means pay your butcher and your bak-
er and your grocer, who feeds your
body, but don't forget the editor who
feeds your soul and cultivates your
mind. Then there is the matter Of
profanity. Perhaps you coul1 dispense
with some of that at least without
serious loss, unless you are a mule
driver. Is it absolutely necessary that
you should tell SO many lies, or form
your neighbor? We do not mention
your wife and children. Your duties
to them are too sacred for public dis
cussion. Other things, too we do not
refer to. This is not an examination
of conscience. You will find that in
your prayer book, and tomorrow will
be the best day in all the year to read
it.
Look back over the old year before
the undertaken ties up his chin. Don't
be ashamed to make good resolutions
and don't be afraid to keep them. This
is the end OF our little sermon.
We wish you Il Happy New Year!
