of Equity has in the past proven tC
all citizens of Kentucky her great
power as asfactor in the welfare OF
all classes of citizens, and whereas
her methods have always been hon.
0rable and above reproach, and
whereas, the effects of non-organiza-
ton among farmers are so plain
and so disastrous, be IL resolved
that we ask the hearty cooperation
of all classes of citizens in quickly
restoring to power in Kentucky, the
American Society of Equity.
We, your committee on resolu-
tons, feel that We are incompetent
to render to the good ladies' of Ohio
county, adequate thanks for the
bountiful dinner spread in the base
ment of the Methodist church for
our benefit, but We would be I'M
grateful indeed, II we did not at
tempt, in our feeble way, to say to
them that we enjoyed the repast
every minute, and we shall long re-
member the nice things they gave
us to eat, and will look back to this
time as a very pleasant time ON the
pathway of life. We desire further
to express to the pastor of the Meth
odist church and to the congrega-
ton, our thanks for the use of their
beautiful church for our meeting
We desire further to express our
thanks to Messrs. Holbrook and
Hunter, for the good coffee they so
kindly furnished us for dinner, and
desire further to express our sin
cere thanks to members of the or
SANITATION of Ohio county who have
| hnnn tfro1occ In thnfr of Orkc 20 L.
our stay in their little city pleasant.
We, your committee, do earnestly
recommend that all members of this
organization take advantage of
their opportunities in buying and
| in all purchases see If they cannot
buy with their fellows at wholesale
prices.
The Kentucky State Union, in ses-
sion in the city of Hartford, KY,
desire to have it known by all men
that this society or organization has
no connection with the so-called
'Possum Hunters, or any other Or
ganization that seeks members by
intimidation. We further desire to
say to those officers of Kentucky
whose duty it is to ferret out and
punish those who ignore the law,
that We earnestly hope they will not
shirk their duty. We further ask
them to see, in their efforts to pun
ish the guilty, if they cannot trace
these acts back to the real source
or head. whom we are sure seek to
obliterate all organization. We de-
sire further, to say to those of our fell
lows who have been led astray and
who find themselves in Company not
congenial, that our doors are wide
open, that our hands are outstretch-
ed and with a welcome to you and
We earnestly beg that you return
again to the fold and again become
members of the old A. S. of E.
Whereas, the Kentucky Legislatu
has passed what is said to be one of
the most comprehensive Road Laws
that we have ever had, and where
as, many counties have voted, any
more will be called upon to vote on
question of Bond Issue for the
purpose of building metal roads
from county-seat to county-seat
until all county-seats in Kentucky
are Joined together, and whereas,
no class of people are more vitality
interested in good roads than the
farmers, therefore, be it resolved,
that We give this matter grave con-
sideration, and where the conditions
under which the money will be ex-
pended seem to justify it, We lend
our efforts to construct permanent
roads in Kentucky.
Be it resolved, That this conven-
ton extend to our retiring Presi-
dent, j. H. Mcconnell, our sincere
thanks for his <untiring efforts and
interest in our behalf, in the past,
and we wish for him long life and
prosperity, and hope that We shall
always have the advantage of his
mature advice and counsel.
Whereas, The Master of JUS ala
has seen fit in His wisdom to call
from our midst our fellow farmer
and former active member of this
society. John p. Foster, therefore
be ii resolved, That We extend to his
bereaved family our heartfelt SYM
pathy, and order copy of this res
olution, signed by the President and
Secretary of the Kentucky State
Union, spread on the minutes.o of this
meeting and copy sent to the fam
lily of the deceased
