Reuben Ripley and his family start

THE PEABODY BANQUET.


Owing to the distance and necessary
expense II is not likely there will be a
large attendance from this southwest
section at the testimonial banquet to
be rendered Gov. Peabody next Tues.
day evening. There are a great many,
however. who will be with the affair
in spirit.
Gov. Penbody's first year In the ex-
ecutive chair has been n strenuous
one. He has used drastic measures
and In some instances maybe has gone
further than necessary. but when one
encounters a disngreeable job the
quicker 1t is disposed of the better,
and this job was the result OF the vas.
cllatlng policy OF Orman and Thomas
who prostituted their positions In or
der 10 further political ambitions, one
to 20 TO the United States senate and
the other to succeed himself as COVER.
nor They permitted condition OF
affairs to exist in this state that could
not continue in free country without
anarchy ruling. The lessons of the
past year viii be far reaching and we
look forward to better feeling between
capital and labor than has existed for
many years.
The testimonial banquet is not po,
litical. 1t is rendered by the citizens
of the state irrespective of party and
is bound to be a success.
