HOME COMING.
Kentuckians Organized BY
Hundreds In Southern
Cities.

Los Angeles, Cal, April a, 1906.
Editor Kentuckian:
attended meeting Of the Ken
lucky Society of Los Angeles last
Saturday evening and as it was very
interesting to all present, l thought
an account Of it might be interesting
to you.
The meeting was held in the Cham
Der of Commerce and was called for
the purpose of further completing
arrangements for the Home Coming
excursion. The Kentuckians here
are arranging a grand excursion
back to their old homes. The ar
rangements are to arrive in Ken
lucky on Jure first. From present
appearances there will be a large
number go on this excursion. Two
trains have already been chartered,
which means at least 600 people, and
the books are not yet closed.
think when they leave here they will
be 1000 strong.
| enjoyed the meeting very much,
but as | have my fare paid back
home the excursion proposition did
not interest me. So after shaking
hands all around, | hooked up with
Col. Flanders from Virginia, a gen
tleman from New York, and a man
from Ohio, and took in the sights.
l want to say right here that the
California people certainly know how
to entertain, advertise and boom
their country. They, of course,
have a good many things here that
are produced no where else, but
they certainly work over time show
ing them. | was very much inter-
ested in one fellow explaining the
good points of California fruits,
flowers, vegetables, poultry culture
and live stock. | couldn't help but
smile for | knew we had him beat a
mile on everything except the fruit.
He explained one thing though that
was new to me, and that was the
Pacific Preserving Company's sys-
tenn of preserving eggs. By their
system eggs are kept nice and fresh
for over year and the cost is prac-
tically nothing. l got one of the
receipts free and any one can do the
same by writing to this firm. !
The Kentuckians are very much
in evidence in this city. Every
place | go | run into somebody II
know and feel as much at home !
here as do back in our own State. !
The Kentucky Society of Los An
geles has a membership of over
$500 and is still growing. They
meet at least once a month and the
glad hand of fellowship and good old
Kentucky hospitality is extended to
everybody. Yours truly,
z. 7. BULLITT.

Lots of Dogs.

Dogs seem to be unusually numer-
GUS this spring and very few of them
are of any value. The State law
against the CANNES ought to be
rigidly enforced in the city and
