Mr. William Haller made a shrewd speech after which Mr. Reuben Dailey, editor of the Jeffersonville Ind. News, gave his personal experience as an infidel. His father died about two weeks ago, a Catholic and he spoke of an infidel's consolation at the deathbed, the comfort being that his father had lived a good life and there was no purgatory, and the father had taught him to be truthful and therefore he was an infidel.
