two weeks with Mr.. 7. n. CromaFfio
Mr.. Imam comes here every year on 3
hunting trip, but on account Of the high
water on the lake and the unusually
warm weather hunting has been very
unpleasant
III. 4. q. Byrd and Mr.. James Cod
dard, Of Atlanta, are camping on Mic
eosukie lake. They expect 70 be here

Miss Rosa Calyer, Of 0rangeberg
county, South Carolina, are on = visit
TO Messrs. L. 8. and H. 2. Conner,
former citizens Of South Carolina, but
now living at Miccosukie. We would
feel that our sparsely settled commu-
nifty was greatly benefited IL we could
induce such gentlemen as these to be-
come interested here. All visitors are
surprised at the fertility of our lands
and our red hills, and can't understand
why 90 few white people live in the
country.
The greater part of the cotton crop
has been marketed, and this section Of
the county will not average over half q
crop, although the corn and pork are
plentiful Syrup making is in full head-
way and the syrup crop promises to be
good. The pecan crop Is short.
The potato crop 10 comparatively poor.
The fall gardens are not so good, but,
thank the Lord, we ali have plenty Of
turkeys, chickens, eggs and butter and
such game and fish as we wish to eat.

ing the winter with DIR. Yarbrough.
Fights are reported to have begun at
the various negro festivals This indi-

of members, and 70 correspond with

terest, TO perpetuate memoirs and to
guard against . perverted interpreta-
ton Of the causes that led to the Civil
War.
Believing that frequent meetings,

Of thought, ETC., would tend to increase

rade, w. d. Bloxham, rendered an in
vitation to the camp TO hold this first

In view Of the fact that we have q
treasurer, and no treasury, and that q
small fund is indispensable for the pur-
chase Of stationery, stamps, etc., and
that we may make a creditable show
ing at State and general encampments,
and for unforeseen emergencies, 1t was
resolved that an assessment Of Is cents
per capita per month be levied, said
assessment TO be paid at regular meet
ing in January and at each succeeding
quarterly meeting. The members are
earnestly entreated 10 observe this
clause OF the resolutions. as fund is
indispensable to proper organization.
II being resolved that q committee
be appointed TO draft resolutions COM
memorative Of the services and virtues
Of our late lameDted comrade and COM
mander, the Hon. r. A. Whitfield, the

HOMECOMING FOR ALL KEN, TUcklANS WHO HAVE WAN. DERED TO OTHER LANDS OR FOREIGN SHORES, IN LOUIS VILE, JUNE 13th-17th, 1906.
You Who Have Left Home and Friends to Fight Life's Battles EIseWher to the Call!
ABSENT SONS AND DAUGHTERS
 OF OLD KENTUCKY.

'tWherever you have wandered, in- to whatever lands or climes you may have gone to take up your abode, you are now by parental authority sum- moned back to the proud old state that gave birth to you or to your forefathers.
 The old dinner horn, that in days of yore told of the approaching meal, has been taken down from the wall and there issues from it's sonorous and hospitable mouth a trumpet call reaching the remotest corners of the earth and breathing into the ear of every homesick Kentuckian the musical and irresistible appeal that he drop all else and forthwith begin his pilgrimage back 10 his native heath.
 Back to the Old State.
 "A joyous welcome awaits you. As the gentle spring warns into life the beauties of nature, So will the kindly siances and friendly grasp of your old friends in Kentucky inspire in you if possible, 2, greater and ten c.erer love for the state you once left Now. therefore, as governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky, ], !. c. w. Bechhan, do by these presents and by the authority of the parent which Kentucky claims over all her children. even unto the third and fourth generation, command each and every former Kentuckian, whether sep arated from us by imaginary state lines or broad seas, to come back home. If he be at the blow, the forge, the counting room, the business office or in whatever employment. let him for the time cease his work and re turn home.
 Men. women and children who pos. sess the priceless heritage of having a drop ot Kentucky blood in their veins must obey these commands and fail not to be with us during this gala pe-,oi.
