Erwin of Fair Oaks, were the only ones from this county to attend the Jackson Club banquet at Lafayette Wednesday night. All reported a splendid times, although regret was general among all who attended the banquet as well as the Jackson Club that ExGovernor Folk of Missouri, who was to be the principal speaker, was unable to be present on account of sickness. Mr. Folk was to speak at Purdue before the banquet, and 1,600 seats had been sold at Fowler Hall for his address there. Lieutenant Governor Hall, Hons. John W. Kern, State Senator Shivley (of Marion), and.nthqrs spoke at the banquet, Hons. Hall and Kern being the principal speakers, and there was not a dull moment from start to finish. While there have been more noted speakers at some of these previous events, this banquet Was one nf the very best given by the Jaek-

son Club that we have ever attended, and every seat at the banquet tables was taken. There were about 400 plates at the banquet which was held in the Lahr House dining rooip.
