series of Ovat ons.

NORTH VERNON Ind, Oct. ITO day has
been one Of ovations for the chief nagis
trate OF the nation. Kentucky, Ohio and
Indiana have joined in homage, and in the
land of Dixie the greeting was no less
warm than in the native state of President
Harrison. 1t was hardly more than day
break when the presidential train passed
through Newport and Covington; but tho
President was up and bowed his acknowl-
Judgements to the bristling, enthusiastic
Kentuckians that crowded the Gepots as
the train passed through. Cincinnati was
reached at 7:30 a. m. Despite tie early
hour several thousand people had gathered
at the central station to greet the Presl-
dent. At 8 the train pulled out. The prin-
cipal event of the day was to come. Near
North Bend, Ohio, the old Harrison home
stead was reached and the train came to a
stop just about the house in which Renia
min Harrison first saw light, and but few
yards from the white shaft that marks the
tomb of his illustrious ancestor, ex-PreS1-
dent William Henry Harrison. The occa-
sion was not one for words, and as the
President passed to the rear platform he
was unaccompanied by the rest of the
party, who deiicately left him to the solemn
memories that the scenes of his childhood
and youth called forth. After brief stop
the train passed on but the President was
visibly affected by the sights that brought

Lawrenceburg was reached, his voice was
heavy with emotion as he addressed the
crowd OF neigh bors and friends that
thronged to greet him.

recoilectlons, and as 1 approached it this
morning, passed the earliest hone of my re-
collections, the home in which ny childhood
and early manhood were spent memories

terest very full OF pleasure, and very fu II
of sadness. They bring back TO me these who
once made the old home very dear, the
most precious spot on earth. have passe

rest We are here in our generation with

the neighborhood, and in the state, we do
