c. L. IESsuP il home again.

After serious illness nearly TO-
600 miles from home
Not pleasant situation in which
To find ones self.
But there was with him. over
there in Jerusalem, The Holy City. a
friend from his home town. Ike
Club ii was. And the friend re-
mained with him until he recovered
sufficiently to start the long trip
back to America.
Charlie Jessup has been invited
TO deliver an address at the Hotel FL
Jardin tonight in behalf of the hotel.
The invitation was extended 10
him by Lee n. James and A. ID.
Dickinson, Jr. more than year ago.
Despite the fact that ne has not
yet recovered from his illness. ne j.
going TO make that effort tonight.
Charlie Jessup has long borne a
reputation as the ''silvcr-tongued'
orator OF the Rio Grande.
Bet he'll live up to it tonight.
AND. ACCORDING to the pro-
gram, there are going to be some
other speakers.
III. II. Stafford. executive vice
president Of the Missouri Pacific, in
charge Of Texas properties. is sched-
uled to talk in behalf of the rail
road.
And last. but no by any means the
least. there will be Jesse bennett,
member of the board Of directors
Of the Chamber Of Commerce. who
will speak for the Chamber ~ Com
merce.
Three orators whose training
--cQmes from entirely different-shall
va say impulses.
MIR Jessup has lectured on Bible
history and kl-dred subjects. and be-
fore chautsuquas.
Mr.. Safford's ability as an orator
probably had something 10 do with
railroad engineering. In his earlier
days
Mr.. bennett has long plead the
cause Of the republican party in
this city.
There you religion. industry
and politics.
Quite sure the menu in Mr.. Nix's
beautiful garden will be n varied.
