Washington. April 21,--President

Presbytery of the Potomac in the
Central Presbyterian Church. The
session which the President attended

happy boyhood. when he was asso-
ciated with one of the most inspiring
fathers that ever a lad was blessed
with" He added that his father was
clerk of the Southern General AS

They would say that the presbytery
would convene on the second Monday
after full moon at early candle light.

ports to see whether they had added
them correctly or not. | have some

The President added that all this

the request of the Commercial club
that commissioner be appointed from
Eastern Indiana to act with the gener-
al commission from all states to fix

the governor has already appointed
two commissioners. the allotted num-

rotary Haas that it will be possible to
exert any influence to have the Dixie
highway follow the National road from
Indianapolis to Richmond and branch
from here to Hamilton and Cincinnati.
