trip across the Atlantic to his home in Ire
land His sermon last Sunday evening was
without doubt the most interesting that he has
ever given here. He leaves his charge here
with the respect and love of all his parishion-

The sympathy of our people goes out to Hon.
C. C. Roberts in his home in Chicago, where he
is mourning the loss by death of his lovely
daughter, Parepa Rosa, who was born in Maine
and whose friends here have treasured her
memory as one of the brightest of the many
lovely products of our State. The family of
Mr.. Roberts for long years have been repre-
sentative of the type of the early settlers of
this town. and his personal joys and sorrows
are made part of our own. We all extend to
him our sympathy in his time of sorrow.
Our friend "Ike" the carriage man, has

neat cottages, which he rents to satisfied ten
ants, he is now putting an attractive front on

and it is basely insinuated that the wiles of an
ambitious wife and an artistic daughter have
outmatched his conservatism and that he has
started out to spend his money for the fun of
the thing. Well, we all welcome this addition
to the attractiveness of the place and hope

more elaborate program than usual. The
Monroe band will be in attendance and escort
duty will be performed by the secret societies
and schools. People should encourage the vet

make a special effort to properly observe the
day. One day in the year in this generation OF
big takers should certainly be devoted to re-
membrance of the men who risked their lives
in the great war of 1885, and saved this big
Republic from destruction. Following is the
