To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
Some years ago effort was made to
form State Pioneer Association for the
purpose of keeping alive old-time usages,
customs and habits and the interesting Incl
dents in the first settling of the State. From
some cause 1t failed. but there is not a
county in the State. SO far as / know, that
does not have an annual old settlers reun-
ion, clearly indicating that the people are
much attached TO this form of pubic asso-
citation Quite a number OF the old people
that met at the different reunions last year
expressed desire to renew the attempt to
form a permanent State association.
would suggest the propriety of calling a
meeting of old settlers during the State fair
or some time this fall, or at some suitable
time in the future TO take this question
under advisement. j. w. HERVEY.
