largely attended. Requiem mass was

Miss Sweeney Leaves School
Miss Cecilia Sweeney, after four
years of successful teaching in diff
ferent branches of music at the st.
Andrews parochial school and class
in the village of Potosi, has completed
her course of teaching and has re-
turned to her home at Holy Cross,
Ia, and will not return to resume
teaching here. Miss Sweeney is an
educated and practical teacher of all
branches in music and it will be a
difficult matter to get as competent
and painstaking teacher as her to fill
her place. The people in general re-
greet that she has determined to not
return. For the past three years she
made her abode with Mr.. and Mrs. E.
NJ Wilmott who will miss her cheer
full countenance and gentle DISPOSE
ton. Some people are under a false
impression that by Miss Sweeney re-
turning home will cause the disband-
ment of the Musical Pals orchestra.
Far be it from that. Miss Sweeney is
not so far away but what she can take
her place as pianist with the Orches-
ira whenever occasion requires. The
orchestra will continue as it was and
Leonard Palmer as manager will at
tend to all engagements.
