II When we reached Gallipolis, w
were met at the depot by ReceT
ton Committee. Mr.. Vance and Car
Il Dunbar took the newspaper people il
charge and shook hands with us wit
both hands. Miss Hannah Maxol
|, who Is known to many of our Logal
people, and who has the reputation o
being one of the best teachers in the
country, with dozen or more pretty
girls Gu the Committee, met the teach
; ers, and welcomed them with hearty
hand shake and kisses. Prof. Mohle1
. and Col. Mulleneux assisted in an all
around way, making US all feel that
no body was preferred and none was
sighted. The newspaper folks and
several members of the Board were
assigned quarters at the Park Central
Hotel. The Teachers were taken by
friends to private houses where they
were made comfortable and made to
feel at home.
The afternoon was occupied in
visiting places of interest in the city.
The Park was the place of greatest
attraction. 1t is large plat of
grassy ground with here and there
clumps of trees. The Park faced the
River and we sat for hours watching
the boats moving up and down, oc-
casionly sounding deep long whistle
that would echo many times back from
the high hills over in Virginia. The
River when not rufiled by the boats
seemed solid body sliding silently
past us. We couldn't see any ripple
like in the Hooking, didn't see any
drift to show which way the river ran;
just silent solemn body without be-
ginning or end sliding slowly before
us.
1t seemed kind of odd that the
folks who chattered and laughed when
out in the PARK in the shade under
the trees, became still and looked Sc
rious when they came down to the
bank and looked out at the River.

We visited the Bulletin, Office, but
found Grape on the door. The father
of Col. Vance had died away off in
the East and his remains were on their
way home for burial. The Office was
not closed, but we found no one in it.
1t is roomy and light, has fine power
press, and two sides of the upstairs
room are packed with cases of type. {
The Post Office is next door. Here
we had a CHEEKY welcome. Miss Dun

pleasant, and during our visit showed I

made us feel as much at home as if
