Roquets for John Priest.

John Priest, the energetic traveling passenger agent of the Monon railroad, has completed four years service in that position and has made an unusually fine record. Mr. Priest was agent for the Monon at Francesville for years and was advanced to the Lafayette office June 1, 1906. The business of the road here shows a wonderful increase since the time he was sent here. The ticket sales at the local t>ffice show an increase of $61:,538.38 compared with the four years prior to June 1, 1906. This is a remarkable showing considering that during that time there was a financial panic and two and a half years of 2-cent passenger rate law.— Lafayette Courier.
