counties It is the only one Of the
group, however, where only one
phase OF the club work has been car

the work for some time, and 1t is
quite 2 feather in our cap that eur

PARIS COMMERCIAL CLUB

The Paris commercial club gave a
banquet at Hotel Paris last Mon
day evening in honor OF President ].
r. Shepherd who. with his family,
leave this week for Logan, where Mr..
Shepherd goes to succeed President
Bulge In presiding at the Logan tenn
pie. Besides the members OF the club
a number of Mr. Shepherds friends
from Montpelier and other parts or
the county were invited to participate
In the feast
After all had done ample justice to
the delicious menu which had been
prepared by Mine Host Athay, Stand
ley Rich made short talk In which
he revived some Of the things which
had been accomplished through the
efforts of the club during the past
two years, in all OF which Mr.. Shep-
herd had given his moral and finan-
cal support. Short talks were then
made by Joseph DEMO, Presidents
Ed G. and VIM. L. Rich, all OF whom
referred to pleasant incidents in con-
nection with their ecclesiastical, po-
litical and civil work with Mr.. Shop
herd, and each one expressed deep re-
greet at his departure from Paris. The
closing talk was made by Mr.. Shop
herd, who referred to his long and
pleasant associations with the people
of Paris, and he assured them that
he would always maintain o warm
place in his heart for them. He hear
tily thanked the commercial club for
the appreciation 1t had shown toward
him, and closed by extending to the
club and the citizens of Paris general
ly his hearty and most sincere wishes
for their future welfare and prosperi-
ty.
Later In the evening an entertain
ment was given in honor of President
Shepherd and family at the pavilion,
The evenings program consisted Of
music, readings, short speeches and
a general good social time.
By the removal of President Shep-
herd, Bear Lake county loses one OF
its old and most substantial citizens.
He has been honored by the people
of the county, and every position OF
trust he has been called upon to I'LL
he has discharged his duties in q
faithful, conscientious and creditable
manner. A community can i'll afford
to lose such men as President shep.
herd, but as duty has called him
elsewhere, the Examiner joins IN
wishing him success and many years
Of pleasant work in his new home.
