SECOND BI-ANNUAL MEETING OF
HEAD CAMP 'U," ". 0. W.
Prof. R. NJ Shpp Delivers Address Of Welcome Which Is Received
With Enthusiastic Applause


three parts of this State, viz: in the
reared, where as a barefooted boy
treasured and proudly displayed my
first stone bruise and with my big toe
wrote the name of boyhOod sweet
hearts name in the sand, where !
iished and hunted, played and fought,
went to school and was thrashed by
the teacher for being so dull; in the
Pennyroyal--where as a young man
Il am one of the old boys now, but |
assure you that | am not the OLD
BOY | began my life's work and
where | loved, wooed and weeded, and
spent the halcyon days Of my young
manhood; i'll the Mountains-where
breathed the purest ozone, where
soon learned to attend strictly to my
own affairs, where | found as much
true manhood and womanhood, as
much courtesy. and as much genuine
generous hospitality to the square
inch as can be found in any equal
space on the globe we inhabit, my
pleasure is doubly and trebly great in
extending to you our visiting friends
the glad hand.
No Keys.
1t may be that you expect me to
say that we surrender to YOU the
keys of this city. / do not like the
word surrender and moreover since
Winchester has never been walled
city-has never had gates that had
to be locked and barred she has no
keys to be surrendered but we assure
you that as it has ever been our
custom in the past, and as it will ever
be IN the future, so now, she extends
cordial welcome to all who desire
to sojoun within her borders.
Hotel Managers.
| can truthfully say that not only
are the loyal Woodmen of this city
pleased to have brother Woodmen
meet with them but that the man
ayers of the various hotels and pri-
vate boarding houses, for a financial
consideration, will be more than pleas
ed to give them samples of old-fash-
Toned Kentucky hospitality-the sam
pies ranging in prices. from 81 to So
per day.
Ministers.
If whilst you sojourn here you
should yield to the charms of the lit
tie cod of love and decide to embark
On the tempestuous and uncharted
sea of matrimony our good brother,
Sovereign Grafton or Sovereign Watts
members of clergy of which our
churches are so justly proud, will be
delighted to tie the knot for the usual
fee.
Doctors.
IF whilst here you should be sick
you will find that our genial brother,
Sovereign Brown, or any of our doe
tors will gladly come to your relief -
and later you may discover that
whether the physician was an allo-
path, homeopath or osteOpath--that
when the account for services is pre-
scented that Ill charging all are allo-
paths.
Lawyers.
Should you have occasion to pat
ronize the bar-of course | do not re-
fer to the bar that is so popular with
the Brewers" of this State, | allude
to the legal bar-vOu will find able
awyers-lawyers versed in all the
technicalities Of law, any one Of
whom may be wiling to accept a re-
tanner provided it is sufficiently large.
Other Officers.
We have so arranged it tina: if You
should have trouble whilst here the
warrant for arrest will be served by
policeman Tanner, brother of this
order, and if a genial Police Judge
wills that you should become a tenn
porary citizen of Winchester, JaiIer
Hart, good brother of this order
vii be pleased to entertain you at
the expense of the county.
Proud of the Order.
Mr.. Chairman, will you permit me
to say that ! am proud of the fact
that | am w. 0. w. Not only be-
cause of its social feature but also
because of its protective feature, |
believe in the future of this order
If life of sacrifice is an ideal life
if to provide for widows and orphans
is a Christian duty-then this order
is doing a great and a glorious work.
/ appreciate the fact that many good
men do not recognize the worth of
fraternal insurance orders and /
know that in the past money and in
fuences have been lavishly used to
bring reproach upon and to destroy
the fraternal cooperative system.
