Jerseys are good dairy cows too. but
are delicate. and their milk, though
richer than Holsteins, is not given in
such great quantity.
The fabulous small grain crops Of
the past are not realized today, so I
think people should cease the habit
of planting great crop of small
grain, family hoping for a bumper
crop, and plant in it's stead crop
of corn, which. though not usually
high priced as corn. brings a good
price as pork, beet, chickens, eggs.

FATHER HANLEY
TO LEAVE HONESDALE
NOTED DIVINE IS TRANSFERRED
HIS PARISH AND TOWNSPEOPLE
REGRET TO LEARN OF HIS Dr.
PARTURE-GOES THIS WEEK
TO NICHOLSON.

The people of Honesdale in gener-
al and the people of his own parish,
more in particular, will regret the
announcement made by Right Rev
NJ. j. Hoban, Bishop of Scranton,
that Thomas M. Hanley, pastor of ST.
Johns Roman Catholic church of this
place, has been transferred to the
parish of Nicholson.
Father Hanley had charge of ST.
Johns church since April 1896, hav-
ing succeeded Rev. DR.. Dougherty,
whose death occurred month previ-
Gus. During his pastorate in Homes
dale Father Hanley has made great
improvements upon the church prop
erty and beautified the grounds and
surroundings. Two years ago he
had the interior of the church deco
rated and other improvements made
so that at the present time St. John S
church is one of the most beautiful
churches in the diocese.
Father Hanley was pleasant, con-
genial and during his stay in Homes
dale has made warm friends who will
regret his departure from here. Be-
ysides the care and attention given
to the temple and affairs of the
church his influence among his own
people is felt and great improve
ments are noticeable. During the
last few months, Father Hanley' S
health has been seriously impaired
and the duties of the Honesdale par
ish were thought to be more than
his strength would permit him to dis
charge. Rev. Hanley is one of the
veteran priests of the diocese, having
been ordained in 1886. On account
of his health it was considered ad-
visable to place him in charge at
Nicholson, where his duties will not
be as arduous as in Honesdale. His
many friends in Honesdale regret
very much his departure and only
hope that the change is for his own
| benefit.
Father O'Toole, who succeeds him
in Honesdale, is very well known in
| this district. He was ordained in
January, 1892, by the late Bishop
! William Hara, and for severa
years he was assistant at the Holy
Rosary church in North Scranton
He has been pastor in Wellsboro fol
! several years.
Eleven other changes were made il
the diocese, prominent among then
are the appointment of Rev. r. d
Jordan, of Pittston, and Rev. JohI
jefferson, of Wilkes-Barre, to thei
first pastorates. Father Jordan i
named pastor at Wellsboro, ant
Father jefferson becomes pastor a
Rock Lake. Father Jordan is sue
ceeded at Pittston by Rev. NJ. +

Lavelle, who is now pastor at Taylor
