Our Visitors.

Out
After a two days jaunt through the
Kentucky mountains, which was one
continuous round of accepting the hos
pitality of those most hospitable people
tired, worn and dusty, yet still full of
the boosting spirit, at lao o'clock
Wednesday afternoon the Louisville
Head of Houses" delegation arrived
in Lancaster. The arrival of their
train was heralded by the blowing of
the mill and other whistles in the vic
Unity of the depot.
Upon alighting, the rank and file
were hustled into waiting automobiles
and whisked to the park, where a
grand stand had been erected, after
music by Seibert's band which accom-
panied The Boosters, the welcoming
address was made by City Attorney,
H. c. Kaufman, who in short, but
happy and pleasing manner bade well
come to our distinguished guests and
turned over to them the keys to the
city. He dwelt briefly upon the great
men sent from Garrard county to
Louisville and into the world at large,
finishing with a beautiful tribute to
Judge Lewis l.. Walker, whose decis-
ions he said the supreme court of the
state had but to hear to affirm, and
predicting that he would eventually
grace the supreme bench. Mr.. Kauff-
man was followed by Mr.. Charles w.
Milliken, Receiver of City Taxes for
the City of Louisville, who after re-
lating that his last visit to Lancaster
was made memorable by the fact that
he was not here ten minutes before he
was in Jail, he came to adjust the in
Surance on our recently burned hotel
some fifteen years ago, and took din
ner at the Jail, to which he had refer
ence; he in turn introduced DR.. Ben L.
Bruner, who in behalf of the CONNER
cial Organization of which he was a
member, made one of those quick and
catchy, yet thoroughly logical speech
es, of which he is so capable. Dr.
Bruner said that Lancaster seemed to
be thoroughly imbued with the spirit
Of the day, namely, ''good roads, good
schools and. good banks. and that
they seemed to be at the top notch in
all of these things. He finished his
remarks by advocating a principle
which the Record has so often plead
with her county people to apply to our
own county and town, that is ''help
maker the metropolis great, and there
by add greatness to yourself"
DR.. Bruner was followed by County
Attorney Joseph E. Robinson, who was
informed in the outset that his remarks
would be limited to ten minutes, not
withstanding this fact, Mr.. Robinson
went to it with vim, and in the short
time allotted him, if he did not con-
vince the Louisville people that this was
the greatest county in the state, it GER
tainly was not his fault. He took up
the time allotted him in presenting to
them a few facts in regards to the
prOductiveness Of the county and its re-
sources, and he would up by trying to
convince the delegation that we made
Louisville and asking some little return
for our kindness in the way of assist
ing US in securing some of the few fac
ilities which we are seeking.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for the entertainment of the
Boosters while they were with us, au-
tomobiles in ample number were at the
depot to bring them to town, and every
thing possible was done to make their
short stay a pleasant one. Upon the
conclusion of the speaking every men,
Der of the Boosters club was present
ed with Garrard county cob pipe, at
tached thereto with a dainty ribbon
was a card bearing the inscription
Kentucky Meerschaum from The
Land Of Now. While smoking this
remember your country cousins who
are always glad to have you as their
guests"
Because of the fact that the train
had several other towns at which they
were advertised to stop during the day,
their stay here was necessarily short.
They left with the assurance that they
had thoroughly enjoyed their short
stay and that they would come again
when they would have more time to
spend with US.
