Reception for Father McCabe.
Sunday afternoon the members of
the parish of the Marysburg Catholic
church gave a reception to Rev. Fa-
Their McCabe, who is about to leave
this section of the country, says The
Madison Lake Tribune
The reception was a genuine sur
prise to Father McCabe and was
very enjoyable affair in every way.
Father McCabe has been in charge
OF the Marysburg parish for over
nine years, and during that period
has endeared himself to all the peo-
pie of that section, and all learning
to know him. He has labored dill
gently for their moral and spiritual
welfare, and has rejoiced in their
successes, and comforted them in the
hour of sadness and trouble His eff
fort has been for the uplifting and
betterment Of the people with whom
he came in contact
The people of Marysburg regret
greatly the fact that Father McCabe
is leaving and they expressed their
appreciation in a substantial manner.
w. M. Smith on behalf of the parish,
presented Father McCabe with a
purse Of over 500, and James Meagh-
er on behalf of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians' society, presented him
with purse of $50. Father Nc
Cabe responded with great feeling to
these presentations.
The ladies of the parish served a
most appetizing and excellent lunch
on the spacious lawn of the parish
residence. This feature of the affair
was greatly appreciated by all pres
ent.
Father McCabe succeeded Father
Romanyne here nine years ago, and
now goes to liner Grove, near st.
Paul. He leaves for his new field
this week. The best wishes of his
host of friends and parishioners go
with Father McCabe to his new field,
and it is the hope of all that he may
have success in his new work
1t is not known for certain who
will have charge of the Marysburg
parish. 1t is stated that the Cleve-
land and Marysburg churches will be
placed in charge of one priest.
