at noon and were entertained at din
ner by the Connersville Commercial
Club. The reception accorded the
Richmond business men there was a
most cordial one and the members Of
the local delegation were most appre-
ciative, and lauded the treatment ac-
corded them to the skies.
Liberty also turned out en- masse
to greet the Richmond boomers and,
figuratively speaking, the entire town
tourists. The Richmond men found
Liberty keenly interested in the pro-
posed Richmond & Eastern traction
line being promoted by the local Com.
mercial Club, as the line will pass
through Liberty.
Other towns along the route gave
the tourists most cordial greetings.
