Battle Creek Enterprise: James
Gillespie of limerick was in Battle
Creek Monday for the first time since
his return from trip to his old home
in County Denigal, Ireland. He had
delightful voyage both ways and,un-
like majority of the passengers he
escaped the usual seasickness. Mr..
Gillespie had not informed his three
brothers of his intended visit. and
after being apart for twenty years the
reunion was indeed a happy one.
Several weeks were spent in touring
through Ireland and England. Dublin
was visited and few days were spent
at the worlds exposition in that city.

especially so by the farmers. AS to
; crops in Ireland, he says they are very
poor on account of an extremely rainy
season. During his entire stay he en-
joyed the sight Of the sun only a few
days. While in England Mr., Gillespie
visited London for the first time and
saw the principle sights in the world s

where the streets are fewer cleaner,
wider and not quite so long" Liver
pool was also visited and it was at this
port he took passage for home. We
hear a great deal about how much bet
ter European railroads are than those
of the United States. This, he says
is all bosh The fare is about two
cents a mile, the same as in Ne
braska, but accommodations for the
ordinary traveller are very poor. 1t is
true the trains are not allowed to be
l crowded as In America, out the coacheS

and the European regards the Ameri-

pocketbook. John Gillespie, a nep-

will make America his future home.
