SENATOR HANNA,s SPEECH.

Senator Hanna's speech upon the isthmian canal
question has been commented upon favoraby in nearly
all quarters, not because he spoke in opposition to the
Nicaragua route but because of the logical and forceful
way in which he handled that gigantic business pro-
-posat The correspondents in saying that the
speech aroused the deep interest of the Senator's nearly

Senator Hanna has demonstrated that he is thinker
and orator of ability though half dozen years
ago he not suspected of any talent a public
speaker It is frequently easy for who thinks
talk we'll Indeed the first requisite OF orator is
have something and that is why Senator Hanna
has made public speaker. He talks in
short but pointed sentences. and he never seems at
loss for idea. His short political addresses are
full of timely sayings and he drives his arguments home
with sledgehammer blows.

one of the largest attended in the
county for many years. Rev. Lew
is Paris, nephew of the deceased
Of Mexico, Mo. delivered the dis
course, and 1t was able and elo-
quently delivered, such discourse
as oefitted the last chapter of the
life of the true christian man over
whose remains it WAS delivered.
l.. III. Paris was born in Ten
nessee in 1871, and he came to
this county in early life. Through
all the years of his life he has been
a peaceful, industrious citizen. a
man with a name and a character
above reproach, a christian gen.
tleman whose walk was in the
footsteps of his Master. Patient
aud accomplishing in adversely,
cheerful and joyous in prosperity,
helpful and charitable to his fel.
fellow men at all times, he was an
example for men of his day and
generation. He was a deacon in
his church and one of the pillars
Of that structure. While his
sphere was not as extensive as that
of some men, no man ever more
admirably filled his place.
