Returns After Nine Years.

Ernest Cissell, son of the late Rev. Dr. J. H. Cissell, formerly superintendent of the Lafayette district M. E. church, returned to his home at Lapofte without previous notice. The family had lived in Lafayette at one time but moved away from that place eight years ago. Ernest Cissell was a bright young man, having learned and become an expert printer, but he suddenly disappeared in 1901 and was never heard from. Before that time he had served in the United States army. He only recently learned that his father was dead and came to Laporte to minister to his sorrowing mother. He gives no reason why he disappeared so mysteriously.
