Petit, of Greensboro, in the chair
and @. E. Sugg, of Henderson, as
secretary. About 60 Populist from
various portions of the State were
present.

Following are the resolutions

The Peoples party of Kentucky
declares to reformers everywhere
their continued faith in the JUS
tice and triumph of the principles
for which we have fought so long
and against such difficulties.
We rejoice that we have acquir-
ed so much strength in the num-
Der and power of those who advo-
cate our principles, and whether
they have chosen or not to assume
our name and employ our organ
ization matters nothing to us, as
in accordance with our primary
professions, it is the supremacy of
principles and not of party that
we desire.
We have in the past shown our
selves to be and are now ready to
cooperate in every effort for good
government, and would deeply de-
plore any division of the forces
opposed to the present efforts OF
an entrenched money power to
nullify the sacred teachings of the
Declaration of Independence and
the subversion of the noblest pur-
poses of the Constitution of the
United States.
We hope that in the coming ma
tional campaign union of all re-

To the Hebron School Children:
Dear Children:-Four months
have passed since 1 bid you good
bye, but l often think of you and
wish could see your bright faces
and hear your merry voices again.
Old winter has gone, and you are
enjoying the spring warmth and
sunshine. i presume you boys are
up with the lark and make the
woods ring with the whistle and
song of the pillow boy. Suspect
you have had some slight attacl 8

you not?
We are just getting our first
bright days, but it is still real cool,
and we have fires. The snow has
at last disappeared, from every
where but back in the mountains.
Looking over on the Green Noun
tains some snow can still be seen
on them. / have enjoyed the win
ter and the pleasures it afforded,
but am ready for some warm days.
We took drive one afternoon
last week, and l want to tell you
of some things l saw. I'VE drove
down to I'll" that is Ticonderoga.
These people call it 'Ti" for short
AS we were driving along at one
place where our road was ON the
side of a mountain we came to a
mountain torrent. This is a large
stream of water rushing down the
mountain. and caused by the melt
ing snow. This was the prettiest
sight / ever saw in Natures work.
AS far up as I could see there it
came rushing down over the rocks,
and looking perfsctly white. 1t

Ifalls on down to the foot of the
mountain. We had a Kodak and
t ,ok picture Of il. If we had
have had time, i should liked to
have climbed up to the very top
of the mountain to find the source
of this stream. Long after we had
left il behind we could hear the
roaring of this torrent.
We reached the village of Ticon-
deroga and again we heard the
crushing OF. many waters" Here,
it was abe water of Lake George
as it rushed on to empty into Lake
Champlain. This furnishes great
water power, making it fine point
for manufactures. They have two
paper mills, one grahpite mill,
where they make lead pencils, one
paint factory, and an iron foundry.
We went all through this foundry
AMI saw many new and interesting
things. They showed us some
machinery that was to be shipped
to Norway; also some engines that
were to be shipped to the gold
fields in Alaska.
We then went out to the old
Fort Ticonderoga. This name is
very familiar to you who have stu
died history. This fort is situated
about a mile from the village, and
is on the lake. This point where
the fort is built is one of the high
est around here, and affords view
OF the lake and country for miles
around. It is surrounded on three
sides by water; Lake George emp
ties into Lake Champlain here.
The name Ticonderoga, is an In
dian name,. and they called this
stony promontory "Cheonderoga,

sounds, in reference to the dull
roar of the falls, and the soft
sounds of the rushing rapids that

The positive announcement has
been made that Hon. Ollie M.
James will not enter the canvass
for Congress at the approaching
election. James has many wa IN
friends in the Purchase counties,
and east of the Rivers is almost a
universal favorite. This determi-
nation of Mr.. James will be some
what of disappointment to his
numerous friends in this county
and all over the District, but if we
are to be denied the compliment
of his services for a time as our
Representative in the Congress of
the United States, it is a pleasure
to know that we have him near to
us. He takes a world of work off
our hands. 1t is a source of I'M
affected'pleasure, when a Bluegrass
Republican or some city upstart
with plenty of clean shirts and an
empty head, comes down to give
political advice to the Democracy
of the old Gibraltar, to see Ollie
take him up and dispose of him
just about as bengal tiger would

these things. They cherish an
affection for Ollie James, and the

ruSneQ over their ODStructlOnS q
mile beyond One needs to stand
there a few minutes to realize how
appropriate the name is. The old
fort stands on the extreme point
facing the lake. Parts of the old
walls are still standing; these are
built of gray stone, something
like our limestone, and l noticed a
few bricks scattered through it.
The ground is covered with Loose
stones that have been torn from
the walls. The old well, the en-
trance to the covered way, where
the sentinel snapped his fusee at
Allen, the passage entering the
parade ground at its southeast cor
ner where Allen entered, the wes-
tern barracks still standing, the
parade ground, the.track- marking,
the old entrance and sally port,
the protecting trenches, the old
oven-all of these may be seen and
easily traced. And yet this glor-
ious old fortress representing all
that is venerable in the history Of
our country is ungratefully aban-
doned to ruin and desolation, and
the surrounding grounds to our
shame have become a pasturage
for horses and COWS"
This fort was built in 1855 by
the French, land the walls have
stood in the crumbing ages like
warriors grown old and unfit for
service, but would remind you of
bygone days when they served
their mission in this world"
1t was into this old fort that
Ethan Allen with his Green Noun
tain boys rushed, and of DeLaPlace
demanded its surrender sin the
name of the Great Jehovah and
the Continental Congress-"
An effort is being made to have
II purchased by the government
and preserved. This, certainly
lshould be done. We owe it 10 the
memory of the many brave that
fought and died here for the liber-
ty we now eniov.
From these crumbling walls /
gathered a few pieces of stone, and
these hope to show you some
day. l wish that all of our school
children might visit this old fort.
Nothing has ever afforded me
more pleasure than my short visit
here. We took several pictures f
the old ruins, and these, too, l
hope to show you some day.
