AFTER MANY YEARS
Or EIson is Here Looking Over Old
Scenes-Great Changes.
He Was For Several Weeks Confined
In the Baptist Church Hospital

Mr.. r. Elson, dentist of woos-
ter, o., is in the city on a visit and is
one Of the most interesting visitors
the city has had for some time. He
was here during the civil war and was
in the First Baptist church, then used
as hospital. for more than four
months, suffering from a wound re.
ceived at vicksburg.
He was federal soldier and can re-
late many interesting stories of the
war. He had not been in the city
since that Tins and came to sees how
much Paducah had grown. Dr. Elson
says that there arc only three places
h,re that look the same as they did
when he was here during the war and
they are the church, wharf and the
market place. He is much surprised
at the rapid growth of the city and
says that it is the coming metropolis
of the state.
During his stay here he was made
an assistant surgeon in the church hos
pitsl. He desires to take a few SOU
yeni,s away with him, and today
has visited veterans OF both the blue
and the gray.
