Summing the whole matter up,
We say that it was indeed success,
and we feel suere that every one
who came here to attend this meet
ing went awayieeling that we had
done our best, add many OF them
expressed it in these words, eve
have been Loyalty entertained; we
feet like we would like to be with

on their cheeks and trembling hand
would say This is the greatest
tine of my life, God bless you,.
hope we may be. invited to come

We feel ,thankful to you for COM

$ou. :t,.-.
Te are glad that you came be.
csrse you can better know us. The
mountains Of Kentucky have becu
badly misrepresented; in the noun
tains Of Kentucky here lives toe
bravest, most noble and kind heart
ed people the world ever knew; We
are not bnd people that the 9th
er sections of the State would hare
you believe we are. We are true
'kentuck;ans, true American ciiize1s,
and in all the conflicts and hard
fought battles that this country
hasever had to 6ghr, the mountain
people have been in the fore front,
furnishing mDre than her qouts OF
soldiers; in the mountains there are
no fsuds, we are all nsiehbors, liv-
ing under the same flag, worshiPing
the same God; we live in the rich
est section of the State; we have our
black diam oud stored away millions
of years ago in these mountain
sides for the use. of monkind aud we
are utilizing same; every man in the
mountains has job AID every one
is happy; We have no PauPeEs, no
mao woman or child wants tor
for food or clothing; We have money
to entertain the old soldiers again,
aud we will do it; We invite you
here and now to come again
This was our FIRST opportunity to
have you with US: it may be our
last. though We hops not; ii it is,
W. hope that each and every one
will he at that grand encam pment
that one that is to be held in the
city of the New Jerusalem, in that
eternal eucampmeut, in that Great
House. not made by hand eteFnslly
in the heavens There on that great
camping ground that will be pre-
sided over by the same emuipotent
artihcer, that one that guided the
great Army of Israel, who liberated
the children of Isr Rl, that same one
that guided Moses through the
wilderness; that same one who kept
a watchful eye upon the immortal
Lincoln, and saved the Army OF the
Pepubic and this country, cement
ed and bound together by the &C.
msnt of love, and bound by the
steel baud of friendship, thar has
made us one country, one flag, one
government forever.
