promoted. No expense had been
spared, and no labor considered too
much to show the loving esteem felt
by the people for the pastor. The
church hall was tastefully decorated
with the national colors. This was
the work of the Catholic ladies.
The banquet, which indeed reflected
the greatest credit on the ladies' com
mittee was served by the young ladies
OF the parish, gowned in white. Over
three hundred sat down to the repast.
Every family in the parish was repre-
sented. After the banquet Father
O.Neill was presented with an illu-
minated address, and Mr.. John w.
Reedy on behalf of the people handed
to him purse Of four hundred and
fifty dollars. The ladies of the parish
presented another generous purse to
