Faribault, MINI. - The Catholic
clergymen of Faribault are very busy
preparing large classes for confirma-
ton which will be administered by
Archbishop Ireland Sunday and Mon
day, Nov. 10 and II. There will be
about six hundred children and adults
confirmed at the three churches.
Princeton, Minn.-Word was re-
ceived here on Oct. 80 that Miss Mary
V. Gibbons was married at Rose
mount on the Tuesday before to Will
liam Kelly, a well-to-do farmer of
that place. Miss Gibbons is known
to many Princeton people, she hav-
ing conducted drug store in the
Cooney block at this place. The I'm
ion tenders it's heartiest congratula-
tions to Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly and
wishes them a long life of uninter-
rupted happiness.
The above is clipped from Bob
Dunns paper. The Irish Standard
will add that the Miss Gibbons re-
ferred to is the lady who served so
efficiently in Mr.. Dunn's office when
he was State Auditor. The A. p. AS
wanted her scalp because she was
Catholic, but Mr.. Dunn, who uses
plain English when necessary, ordered
the fellows out of his office and told
them to go to the internal regions
After the expira ton of his term, he
induced her to go into the drug bust
ness at Princeton to reward her for
her fidelity. Bob does not boast of
his Christianity, but he is a mighty
fine fellow who does good by stealth
and bushes to find it in print.
Anoka Union, MINI. - The general
public has little conception of the
great work being done in Anoka by
ST. AIMS convent. From a very small
beginning it has grown constantly

of the sisterhood are required to carry
on the work of the institution. Much
attention is given to musical instruc-
ton and three teachers are necessary
to properly instruct the pupils. A de-
lightful understanding exists between
the sisters and their sixty-five schol-
ars The little ones are we'll looked
after and everything is done for their
comfort and instruction. The convent
is well arranged and scrupulous neat
ness is observed in every room.
