At mass meeting. which was
ono OF the largest ever held in Itta
Bona, composed Of taxpayers. repre-.
sentative citizens and . full attend
!ance of tho Business League of Itta
Bona last Monday evening. the
question Of tho organization Of the
Yazoo Valley. Delta Levee Board 90
March s was discussed, and the
election Of w. 81. Carrothers presi.
dent, Thos. Rice q secretary and
treasurer and A. G. Tuttle as book
keeper heartily endorsed. Each of
these gentlemen is we'll known in
this county and are known to be
honest, capable and upright. 1t
seemed to be the concensus of the
opinion of those in attendance that
the responsibilities of the respective
officers could not have been placed
in more loyal and faithful hands.
1t having come to the knowledge
Of the people in this county that on
the 10Th of April IN attempt was
made to displace these officers and
fill their places with other men,
without warrant or reason, it was
therefore the>sense of tho meeting
that q protest heLentered against the
acts of J. w. Cutter and others in
their attempted reorganization of the
board.
In an excellent set of resolutions
drafted and adopted by the meeting
the course of our efficient commits
sioner, Hon. J. L. Haley, one of the
ablest men on the board, was highly
commended. We highly endorse
the action of this mass meeting in
upholding the course of MI. Haley,
and we can all rest assured that our
interests will be carefully guarded
so long as Jesse Haley is or the
board.

Route Laid Out Through Country

When the Glidden tourists hit the Ken
lucky trail next June they will enter a
section rich in historic data. Nelson county,
Kentucky, is famed the world over for its
whisky, and Bardstown is the county seat.

persons in the United States, few outside
Of Kentucky, know that here lies the body
OF Lieutenant John Fitch of the New Jer-
sey Volunteers in the continental army.
That does not signify much. but when you
add that Fitch had a steamboat plying the
waters of the Delaware river seventeen
years before Fulton started up the Hudson
in the Clairmont, one takes notice.

bridge over the creek which separates
Bardstown from Federal Hill, that Fitch
