F. l.. Soper of Centerville is in the
city, having Joined his wife who is a
guest at the home of her sister, Mrs.
VIM. Rowland, Egan avenue and
Eighth street. Mr.. Soper was an early
day resident of Madison, having been
engaged in the practice of his profess
sion of lawyer for a number of years
previous to his removal from the city a
few years ago. Like other former resi-
dents who have been away from the
city a few years, Mr.. Soper is almost
completely lost and bewildered by the
growth and changes which have taken
place. Egan venue has had many
new business blocks added during the
past ten years, new residences built
and the streets transformed to metro
politan thoroughfares, and it is no
wonder the returning old-timer be-
comes lost in bis search for landmarks
of the early days, Mr.. Soper is being
made welcome by his former ac-
quaintances and his stay in the city
will be enjoyable.
