Mr. Allen is q a nephew of the famous Private John Allen, of Tupelo, Miss., the only man . in the entire Confederate army who ja boasted of emerging from the war with the rank of private, and wdio afterwards gained nation-wide fame in Congress as one of the ablest and wit-tiest speakers who ever sat in thatbody. His nephew is a worthy successor and the talk he gave last night was worth going miles to hear. Hisnegro dialect stories, told with the inimitable Mississippi dialectwere gems and his description of his own efforts to practcc law in Tupelo •was especially amusing.” I cA special stunt was put over by ^ five Rotarians in connection with a ;anc new Rotary wheel which had been se- j *)U! cured by the club.
