heard and the sound of many voices
seemed to be approaching. AS the
procession drew nearer, Councilman
Dick Holland seemed to be directing
in loud voice, "Howl, Howl, Howl"

meant until Coils. Buck Leavell and

Col. Bill Howell They had
slipped out just in time to
meet him at the o. V. depot and fol.
lowed by great throng of his enthu
siastic friends, headed by Wards
band and escorted by Mr.. Holland,
they had brought him in to make a
speech. The doors were thrown open
and several hundred people surged
into the room and Col. Howell was in
duced to lay aside his natural diff
dence aud make speech, which he
did in manner that aroused the
widest enthusiasm. Fresh from his
victory at Murray, he was feeling like
a fighting cock, and the way he
talked raised the hair on the heads of
those who had any left to raise
After he finished speaking he was
given an ovation. The club was
then called to order and adopted res
olutions expressing the appreciation
felt by all of the members that one
of its ex pre- sidents had been so
signally honored.
The reception to the nominee for
Commonwealth Attorney broke up
