Declaration Of Independence on or about
the date when this immortal document
was signed would be a most impressive
incident in connection with the James
town Exposition. Such reunion should
have a tendency 10 stimulate patriotic
sentiment and arouse among those who
are within its influence a better apprecia-
ton OF the initial efforts Of the fathers
OF the republic to establish a new nation
and impress upon II the best ideals OF
free government
The most gratifying result Of this first
gathering OF lineal descendants Of the
signers was the temporary organization
OF The Descendants Of the Signers. -
which was permanently created BY the
election OF officers adoption OF a constl-
tuition, &c, at the exposition. On October
