returned from New Harmony, Pike

Hon. Champ Clark deliver an address
TO the memory of ]. Sam Willis, who
was an old friend Of his. Mr.. Clark's
promise Of twenty years ago to deliver
a memorial address on the life Of Mr.
Willis, should he outlive him, was
fulfilled. The crowd was large, many
from Bowling Green, Vandalia, Cur
ryvllle, Ashley and the surrounding

was interesting, filled as it was with

The coal prospectors are still at

crowd than ever before is expected,
and it will surely be a good place to
