GRAND RALLY
= Of the A. S. of E. at the Hart
ford Street Fair.
Large and Orderly CROWDS Attend
And All Seemed to be
Pleased.

The Street Fair, Home Coming
and American Society of Equity rail-
~ at Hartford last Friday and Sat-
urday was more largely attended
than any of the former Street Fairs
given by the town.
The forenoon of Friday was devot-
ed to exhibiting and awarding of
premiums. The afternoon was Civ
en- over entirely to the American
Society of Equity. The exercises
were began by a grand parade
and march of the Equity people
from the Ohio County Fair grounds
through the principle streets of
Hartford, beginning at 1890. After
which magnificent address was de-
livered at the Court House yard by
Mr.. II. b. Sherman, of Greensburg,
Ind. National Organizer A. 5. of +.
The speaker was introduced by our
own President David Moreland who
took occasion to briefly sum up the
work Of the wonderful organization.
Mr.. Sherman spoke for nearly two
hours and had the the undivided at
attention of the vast throng during
the entire time. A few of the most
striking points in Mr.. Sherman's adj
dress are as follows:
The American Society of Equity is
organized on a plan that helps every
body and hurts none. The farmers
constitute the great pendulum Of the
wheels of trade. The A. S. of +.
was organized to teach the farmers
how TO do business and the farmers
are better organized to-day than
ever before. The farmers should
learn lessons from others and organ
lze to uphold prices. The organiza-
ton is not to fight anybody, but to
help themselves. They are not hunt
ing trouble but prosperity. They
must stay out of politics if they
would succeed.
At the close of Mr.. Sherman
masterful speech Master Robert
Davis, of West Hartford who by the
way is candidate in REPUBLICANS
free trip to the Mammoth Cave con-
test, recited an excellent Equity de-
clamation. An excellent feature
of the Equity demonstration was the
bumper" a dilapidated "gocart"
drawn by large honey gray horse
and very small bank mule. 1t repre-
scented the man who would not join
the A. S. of f.
