They Caned Him.
Last Saturday the numerous friends of Dr. D. B. Taylor, of
Millburn, to the number of about seventy-five assembled at the
pleasant home of Dr. and Mrs. Taylor to commemorate the thirty-
second anniversary of their marriage. The event was planned as a
surprise upon the Doctor, and so well executed that he was taken
completely by surprise, but soon recovered sufficiently to make
the guests feel at home. The Doctor is sixty-eight years of age
and has practiced medicine thirty-three years in this county,
first engaging in practice in Michigan for a short time and then
coming to this village, soon moving to Millburn where he has since
resided.
The Doctor was presented with a gold-headed cane on which was the
following inscription: "Presented to D. B. Taylor, by his Friends,
June 1st, 1895." The presentation speech was made by the Rev. S.
A. Harris, in his own happy style. During the melee H. D. Hughes
got off the following original poem, which we publish in full for
the benefit of those not present:

According to previous arrangements, Mr. Clark, of Holdrege, Neb.,
preached very acceptably to a full house last Sunday morning. Mr.
Clark is a graceful, eloquent speaker. His subject was well
chosen and he had the entire sympathy and interest of his
audience while speaking. The shadow of death is still hovering
over his own home in the loss of his only daughter, yet he is
able to say many things to comfort and sustain others in like
bereavement. Many of his former charge had not seen him since he
left us eight years ago, and were delighted to hear his voice and
look into his face once more. Three couples were in the church
whom he married years ago, Mr. and Mrs. John Thain, Mr. and Mrs.
R. L. Strang and Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Adams. Our big generous warm
hearted pastor did all he could to give him a right royal welcome
to his former pulpit.
