| Not for long time has there been
| in the old city of Keokuk so sincere
and widespread regret at the removal
| OF citizen to another residence as
! occurs following the announce cement
! that c. w. Kellogg, manager of the
| Mississippi River Power company,
has transferred to Boston following
his promotion in the Stone & Web.
ster organization.
So intense is this feeling that no
body says much in the way of con.
graduation Of Mr.. kellogg upon the
promotion. that being swallowed up
In expressions of sorrow at his de-
parture from Keokuk. That he has
been here only five years makes this
the more remarkable In this very
conservative and self-centsred old
town.
The following remarks are the
spontaneous expressions Of some
Keokuk people OF all sorts and posi-
demonstrating the universally of
Mr.. Kelloggs popularity here-made
In ordinary conversation. None OF
them expected to be quoted, and
every one will be surprised to read
their words spoken in the candor Of
a chat with a friend. This makes
them the more worth collecting and
printing. There were hundreds more
like them, and the following express
sions are but samples Of what all
