Having learned that Mr Patk Treacy is about to leave Clones to take up business in a neighbouring town, a number of friends in Clones have formed a committee for the purpose of presenting him with a testimonial to express the esteem and regard in which he is held by all classes. There is no doubt that the co-operation of all Clones people will be forthcoming for this thoughtful and worthy project when they are made aware of it. Mr Treacy has been connected with Clones for many years, during which he enjoyed a unique popularity. In his early days he was closely connected with Sir Thomas (then Mr. Or Tom) Lipton, at the outset of that remarkable man's career, and outside Mr Lipton himself there is probably no man living who knows more of the history of the distinguished baronet from the time when he started his provision shops in Candleriggs, Glasgow, until he found himself the owner of the biggest provision business in the world, than Mr Treacy. On leaving Glasgow, Mr. Treacy was appointed to the charge of Lipton's store and distributing station at Clones, from which post he subsequently retired. He was a member of Clones Urban Council for a number of years, but withdrew from that position to the regret of his colleagues and the electors. Mr. Treacy is a Nationalist of the most advanced views, but[?] the reverse of bigoted, and enjoys the esteem and respect of persons of every political and religious opinion. Since the death of his wife a couple of years ago, he has taken little or no part in public affairs in Clones. His departure from the town will be deeply regretted by all who knew him.
