Much interest is being shown in the visit of Cardinal Petrelli, who has been sent as a special envoy by Pope Benedict to congratulate Emperor Mutshihito upon his recent coronation. The fact that the Pope is honoring a non-Christian monarch with a special envoy is significant and is taken to mean that Cardinal Petrelli has been sent here on a peace mission. However it has been officially denied that the Cardinals visit is in any way connected with any peace move.

BEALL FAVORS LEVEL BRIDGES

"Richmond has had enough experience with a bridge built on a toboggan not to build another one in the same position," writes Cash Beall, formerly of this city, now of Binghamton, N. Y. Mr. Beall, who took an active part in all civic improvement questions in Richmond, was one of the first men to advocate the building of a south side bridge, and it was largely through his efforts that the county commissioners twelve years ago, created the south

side bridge sinking fund. "I would have liked to see-the bridge placed farther south," writes Mr. Beall, "but am only too glad that the gounty commissioners have at last decided to build .it.. I have been watching' with keen interest the improvements on foot in Richmond, and wish I were there to take part in some of them."

Henry Clay's "Mendenhall Address" is one of the most popular Wayne county historical events chosen by the pupils who graduate from the township school in writing their essays, which are to be placed in the hands of County Superintendent Williams Saturday. There are over 200 graduates from the township school this term and each graduate has chosen a topic for an essay and some interesting data has -been revealed through this innovation. The essays will be " turned over to the Wayne County Historical Society and the most meritorius ones will be published in pamphlet form.

Clay's address was made in Richmond in 1844, according to the essays and was occasioned by an attack made on him by Hiram Mendenhall, whose name headed a petition condemning Clay for holding slaves. The event has gone down in history and one of the forerunners of the Civil war. The address was delivered at a lumber yard located on "North Fifth street,", which would now be North Eighth street between A and B street, across the street from the present high school. Practically every citizen , in Richmond turned out to hear the address as this was Clay's first visit to Richmond. Among the interesting places and events in Wayne county called to mind by the essays of the pupils are "The Underground Railway." An essay on this subject was written by Margaret Bitters. District No. 10, Wayne township. In it she tells of the operations of the system to transport fugitive slaves, with headquarters at Fountain City. "The Old Fort" located on the farm of Oscar Richards, was made the subject of Ralph Crawford's essay. Crawford is a pupil in District No. 10 Wayne township. ' : "The First Church In Wayne County," was written about by Esther Caskey, No. 3, Boston, and James Endsley, No. 3, Boston. The first church in this county, they say, was organized in 1807. It was located on a lot which is now part of Elkhorn.- The building was first used as a school house with Joseph Cox as teacher and was then converted into a Baptist church. -The Court House at Centerville,'.'

was made the subject of an interesting paper by Anna Fulton, District No 9. The court house, she writes, "was. located at Centerville from 1818 to 1873. It is an historical sketch telling about the trouble that was experienced in moving the court house - from Centerville to Richmond. "The Joe Davis Homestead," and "The Old Macy Home," are the subjects of essays by Lois-Wilkinson and Frank Hayes, both of Dajton townshir schools. "The Old School House." is the subject of essays by Vaughn Johnson, Florence Alhed and Ray Chamness of Dalton. . '
