At Rawly Gen. Battles welcomed the
Presidenshal party and the President re-
sponded. He remarkt that in Rawly he
first opened his tender eyes, penniIess

wich he is associated here is where the
tenderness Nv his heart hev taken holt mp
on everything to wich it hez attached it.
SELF But he was wandrin from his sub
ject. His mind went back to the day he
left this city penniless boy. Where is
them wich he left behind him? He beg
