Interstate Reunion,
The interstate rounlou is now a
piece of history to which many relfer
euces will be made in the future.
Taken on the wholo it was the most
successful which had been hold iu this
section of the o mutry; because of the
crowds which attended it and the man
ner in which it was conducted through
out the entire week Friday Old
Settlers Day was the best day of the
week. The number of people present
Friday is vn' lously est mated nt from
8,000 to l.r,000. As near as can he
ascertained thero wero moro than 4,000
people who gut their meals at tho
restaurants and hoels on Friday.
The committees who had tho reunion
in charge may feel justly proud of
their work. Thero was good speaking
every day by brilliant speakers: Gov.
Mickey, George W. Hergo, E. J. Hur
kott, .1. L MoBrion, It. I). Sutherland,
Congressman Norris, and many others
interested tho people. Mrs. H. D.
Cougdou of Piwneo City spoko for tho
Womuns Relief Corp and was loudly
applauded.

entire week was tho speech of Judge

Spring llauoho. Aftor spending two
years in tho practice of such law as
was to be practiced, tho young lawyer
removed to tho eastrou part of tho
btate, where his careor has been at
tended with uniform and distinguish
ed succo s. Still ho retains iu his
memori s tho affections ho made and
experiences ho underwent during his
two or three yoirs residence iu this
county. Moro than that, ho is the

ability, but it is not his e'oquencc as
