BANKER’S DEPARTURE
HONORED IN RHYME
The following clipping from
Tillsonburg Herald refers to a form
er Mt. Carmel boy:
'Straffordville,—A surprise party,
when friends numbering over 100
were present, was held in the town
hall on Monday evening in honor of
Joseph Regan, a popular member of
the local bank staff. Mr. Regan has
recently received word of his trans
fer from the local branch to the of
fice at Kirkland Lake, where he
will commence his new duties the
end of the week. He has been with
the local staff for the past three
years, during which time he has made
many friends, and it is with regret
the community learned of his de
parture.

nnuri a c raadv actati | Grant read the following address:
Stranger, tell me if you can
Why the joy on every pan;
Why ring the bells their merry note
And joyous songs fill every throat?
Have you not heard our tidings gay!
Why, Joseph Regan’s going away
Why should the Bank of Commerce
take
Our Joseph up. to Kirkland Lake,
Where men are men and flash
earth,
Where three cents is all a life
worth,
Where the bark of the gat and
husky dogs
Echoes all night in the shack of logs
Where the Northern Lights
Do see strange sights
As they cast their glow
On the high-piled snow;
And the frigid air
Freezes ears and hair;
, And snow in July
Is as common as pie,
And the gold in the rocks
Come out in huge blocks,
And the lust for wealth,
By work of stealth, •
Fills every soul with greed:
Highgraders, hi-jackers,
Tough hombres, safecrackers,
Hard rockers and muckers
And con men and suckers,
And gambling joints and dens
vice,
And other places not quiet so nice.
