It was the open expression of the men that this was altogether one of the pleasantest and most interest ing of the Conventions of the Danville Conference. EDITOR LACKS THE NERVE Dear Editor: It grieved me very much when I first saw the heading you gave my article last week; "More Talk. About Nothing." But, knowing your fondness for humor. and at the same time realizing that a "little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men," I forrive you freely, once again believing that you did admire my straightforwardness in dealing with this other fellow's gas about a Municipal Hall. I know the people of town are with me when take up my pen against his tomfoolery.

It is almost beneath my dignity to notice him, yet, no one is ever certain about anything; especially since he has a glib tongue' and the young folks in town are so easily led astray. I know, Mr. Editor, you will sing my praises over this article, for in meeting this "windy" fellow's exhaust about a Municipal Hall I am doing the town a big service.

19-5t-pd. LET THE SHOW BEGIN If I were a free lunch, or something, should consider myself all chawed up, well pickled in gastric juices and part and parcel of a great man's backbone. As it is, think I've been swallowed wholegormandized, so to speak, and am now sort o' retarding the peristaltic wiggle of someone's gizzard. No sympathy from me, "for," says Sam. Johnson, "I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly will hardly mind anything else." Mr.

"Blackberry" speaks his mind in breezy fashion in last week's issue of The Echo," and, besides raking over the coals about the "congruity" of my article, (which, by the way, said adjective if he wished to say I was out of joint, or not consistent, should have been prefixed by ends up by saying am talking through my hat, and that cornbeef and cabbage is as essential to E'ville's Municipal Hall as Dinty Moore is to a "Finnin Haddie," or something like that. Now, where is the sense in 'this? If I am talking through my hat I am still vain enough to think that when my hat's on my head there's more under it than just' a bad case of dandruff. About my nose being my own, it is mine if for no other reason than that possession is 90 per cent ownership. I thought I had myself in a strictly diplomatic way concerning this noble Municipal Hall. But, according to Mr.

Blackberry, it seems that in airing my views I have only succeeded in bringing ridicule upon myself. If this is so (and I doubt it) some people are watching the show through a key hole, and any one knows that to thus behold things is getting pretty near to being an old fossil. But, what was said? If 1 didn't say anything I wont deny it if something, I wont retract a single word. Am I understood? To bring this matter to a head and let in a little light as to my views, how a Municipal Hall can becomes an actuality. Firstand briefly, it is my honest opinion that some well-healed individual provisions for a ladies smoking room, off his mortal coil an leave about $50,000 for just this purpose.

(Have it SO chiseled on his tombstone) Second hide the money in small amounts beneath the rocks on the mountain side (but don't put there). This act will cause the people to look for the money and at the same time will roll out stones for the foundation. Third- I'm doing it now) asking the editor for a small space in this paper whereby draftsmen can submit their drawings for public inspection free charge? The plans should tend toward provisions the for a aesthetic laies and smoking include el Fourth-as to the material to go into the Hall Beautiful, should popular opinion want it of brick, tear down the school house and use these. (There are lots of bricks in this building); if of wood, tear down the brewery. It has been truly that "necessity is the mother of invention," and if this thing is necessary enough I'll get a patent on my invention.

Now, then, Mr. Blackberry, let's have a little noise and let the show begin. (I like this fellow's berry;" it smacks of the days before the "draught," so I'll have mine). I. Ball SAMUEL L.
