comfort bags that are pretty nice. They
are more suitable than was to be ex-

Few of the many hundreds Of peo-

on that morning seen three Of his sons
march away with Company H to en-
ter in earnest into the service of their
country Three as fine manly young
men as Waterville can boast of they
were, one Timothy O'Donnell, second
lieutenant. and Hugh O'Donnell and
James O'Donnell Of the ranks. No
other father and mother in Waterville
have as yet at least given three of
their sons to the country and it is
fitting that Mr.. O'Donnell should have
place in the hearts Of the people Of
Waterville.

seemed that the men on the train had
tainted him with his color and had
caused him to fly into rage and he
had accordingly thrown rocks at his

the men on the train had jumped off

arrived here had turned him over to
