Falmouth must be 15 miles south of Clermont.

Jegley friends some. I can name only 1. F.L.

The Ku Klux Klan of Pendleton and adjacent counties held a monster
meeting at
Falmouth Fair Grounds last Saturday night. People gathered in from the
four
corners of the globe until there were five or six thousand assembled.
Although
a little chilly, yet Old Probs gave the people a rea good evening. There
was
plenty to eat and to drink in the booths, refreshing and innocent. Every

fellow seemed to be in perfect good humor, one with another, and not a
disturbance of any kind was noticed. There was nothing loud nor
boisterous, the hooded
knights being not only gentlemanly but very attentive in directing the
coming
and going of autos. Everything was pretty well systematized. The
Sunrise
brass band furnished the music for the occasion and the boys played well,

particularly for a young band. After an address to the public the hooded
knights,
headed by the band, followed by a drum corps marched entirely around the
race
track. There were nearly 1000 hooded in the parade. Although red light
candles
were placed around the track still torches carried by each individual
member
would have been better and added greatly to the scene still it was all
pretty.
