A PARTIAL LIST OF OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD.

There in in the human heart an everpresent desire to roam. True as is tne song that "there's no place like home," at some time in every one's life there to seek, beyond

the seeming narrow confines of "home, that success which we are all desirous of attaining, but, alas! in which we are often so sadly disappointed. In years gone by, we have lost many of our citizens, young and old, in this manner, but no matter how far their ambition has led them, .whether their lot be cast in lowly places or in those more exalted tbey are still "home people" at heart and, as such, anything concerning them is of interest to those left behind.
