tuckians are religious people and
all over that great state You see
splendid churches and school houses
which they have built. But there
las come upon Kentucky now a great
persecution. as II were, They have
great population there and God
has seen ut to let a spirit OF unrest
come among the people. Consequent
~ there is n great opportunity now
for Amarillo and the Panhandle to
do some advertising. Kentucklans'
make substantial citizens BY doing
this advertising we will get the peo-
pic from old Kentucky to visit us
here Just once, Thatll be enough.
Come here and stay ono year and
that fixes you. You may go back on
visits or something like that but like
the cat your always come back"
and Rev Howard expressed his SEN
tlments in closing by reading some
dialect verses Of the man who visited
other states but who joyfully re-
turned to Texas. .E.usn
Music OF the Old State.
Following the pathos and sentl-
ment OF "Nelly Gray" sung by Mr.
j. II. Anderson, Dr.. j. Il Num- took
the floor on "Kentuckians in the
Panhandle"
"That music makes me homesick,"
said DR.. Num-. I'm allow no man
to Guido me In loyalty to my native
state, and furthermore I'll allow no
man to Guido me in loyalty to the
state OF my adoption. | have been
Kentuckian. am a Texan.
when we speak OF Kentuckians
in the Panhandle we mean that they
shall be exemplars OF all that is true,
noble and good not foreigners here
but part OF the people, true to each
other and for this great state, that
they shall stand for right living, for
education, for morals, for civic right
eousneBs, for home and its purity,
for all that advances, profits and up
lifts the community. As Kentuck-
ians in the Panhandle we are TO be
fellows in the fullest sense OF the
word. wish that we would BIO to
each as brethren and sisters. Just
as IA Mason wherever he may so
knows that In the hands OF brother
he is safe, so should Kentuckians
feel safe in our hands.
True 60 the New.
Not that we are to forget our
love for the old state. The man who
leaves his mothers home for the
bride TO whom he has pledged him
self at the altar does not forget the
mother. It is not that he loves the
mother less but that he loves the
wife more. so with us 1t is not that
we love Kentucky less but that we
love Texas more. Texas is our bride
now and as Kentuckans in the Pan
handle, we shall be true TO Texas.
and thus show ourselves worthy of
Kentucky. No man is true to his
mother who is not true to his wife.
Thus by working for this new home,
by helping our city and our country
and our state, we will be true Ken
tuckians in the Panhandle"
Far Away" sung with rare pow
err and feeling by Mr.. Anderson, car
ried his hearers back to other days.
When the Eagle Scared.
Dr. Wrather, who took the floor
next, protested that he felt like the
young lawyer pitted in a case against
Daniel Webster, who after the i'm
mortal Daniel had swayed Judge,
jury and even the young lawyer him
self TO tears, got up when his time
came and plead that when the eagle
scared 1t was time for the bats to
take to their roosts, and that he had
no speech, UNITED We stand, Dl-
vided We fall" quoted the doctor,
continuing That is the motto and
emblem OF our state and IL should
be the password and motto OF our So
ciety. In unity there Is strength.
We want to unite our efforts to help
ourselves here and to help the peo-
ple back there, expect to live and
die in Texas, but have very warm
place In my heart for Kentucky.
I'm glad kentucklans are here. I'm
glad this society has been started.
aud I'm glad to be a member OF it,
Another County Heard From.
Colonel Groom then started the
definite business OF the evening by
calling for w. f. Gee to present the
papers for organization. Mr.. Gee
begged off from speech but sue
