Office of clerk of his district for several
years. He is also prominent in church

ion from here attended, headed by Ma
rie's best-known teacher, Mr.. Shaw
whose poetic productions have won hin
considerable fame, and whose abilities

are generally recognized. Then, too
the subject of the evenings debate wa
one of special interest to the youn.

which the young spend their leisur
