The many friends and relatives in
New York of James O'Neill, of Croud-
rumine, Drumlish, County Longford,
who was few weeks ago elected to
the Longford County Council, met at
the residence of Miss Helen O'Neill,
No. Ala West 120th street, and cele-
brated in generous hearted Longford
style the election of Mr.. O'Neill. Re-
solutions of congratulation were
passed and a happy hour was spent
over the glad news. Mr.. ONeill has
represented the Drumlish district for
number of years, and his defeat of
James Mcdonnell, his rival for the
office, while closely contested, was a
vindication of the sterling National
list who has ever been in the van for
Home Rule.
