Space fails US to report in e1tenso
the meeting of the Republican Club
last Tuesday night on the occasion of
Gov. Humphreys visit. In q brief
but mastery argument Mr.. Humphrey
scored many new and telling points
against our friends the enemy. He
was followed by Col. A. =. Forsyth,
of Montgomery county, who made a
ringing speech that we wish every
farmer in Allen county might have
heard-for Col. Forsyth is a farmer
and speaks from the farmers stand
point. Gov. Humphrey formed a wide
and pleasant acquaintance during his
short stay. He is gentleman of great
culture and refinement aud would do
honor to the Executive chair of Kan
sas.
After the addresses Monday night
Gov. Humphrey and Colonel Forsyth
were banquetted by McCook Post,
they bsing Grand Army men with
war records of the brightest. The fes.
tivities were extremely pleasant, the
guests contributing
largely thereto by felicitious speeches.
Col. Forsyth was voted leather med
al as champion of all the distinguish
ed liars that ever visited McCoOk
Post or rather as telling the champion
lie. We understand the medal, the al.
egant handiwork of Slower, has been
sent to the Colonel with instructions to
hold till his Ananias record is sur
passed.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Sutherland,
who had been long sufferer from
granulated eyelids, and who had been
totally blind for about seven weeks,
moved here from lola to undergo a
course Of treatment by DR.. Cummings.
It was not long till the doctor had his
eyes sufficiently restored so that he
could see to make his way about the
streets without help, and Tuesday, &C
by his daughter, he made
a trip to lola. Mr.. Sutherland is
greatly elated over his speedy recov-
cry, and the Doctor will no doubt effect
a permanent cure.-Bronson Pilot.
