Success of DR.. Ellis.

This week we received letter from
an old friend-Dr. X. ii. p. Ellis. of
Paterson. n. j., enclosing his check for
subscription to The Messenger. also
sending US a photograph of his palatial
residence in Paterson, N. j.. where he
has been living several years.
DIR. Ellis was born on farm near Snow
Hill, and while he has not been here for
a number of years. he bears in mind the
boys and girls with whom he went TO
school and spent his boyhood days. He
left home when quite young and has
made his way successfully through the
world. For many years he was one of
the leading physicians of Baltimore. and
was professor at one of the Baltimore
medical colleges. Through his efforts
he has amassed a large fortune, and of
late years he has travelled nearly all over
the civilized world. having retired from
the practice of medicine about twelve
years ago.
1t is a great pleasure for The Messen-
ger to tell Of the success of Worcester
countians. wherever they may be located.
and to wish for them all of the good
things that life can afford.
DIR. Ellis says: 81 shall always note
with pleasure the progress and enter
prise manifested by the people Of my
native town, where true Democracy has
ruled and reigned so long, and depend
upon The Messenger to keep me inform
ed as to what takes place in its progress
