It was here that Aaron Burr lodged in the i." of 1806. while engaged in his daring conspiracy to make himself the head of a new empire, and was here met and welcomed by Harman Blanderhassett. the cultured, but unfortunate. Inshiman he had so completely fascinated. Here, as far back as Jefferson's administration, Democrats and Federalists, in knee-buckled breeches, ruffled shirts and dangling cues, ta ked red no" politics, and here one August day in 1St2 a den-e throng of ladies, in long- waisted dresses and with powdered hur, towering mioft on cushions. waved farewell to the gallant Kentucky volunteers who marched so proudly past. the old tavern on their way to the fatal field of Raisin. It was the scene of a sumptuous dinner to Lafayette, and later was the stopping place of the wily Mexican chieftain, General Santa Anna. During the late war, while Lexington was held by the Confederates, it was the headquarters of Gen- erals Bragg and Kirby Smith, and before the struggle ended sheltered Gen- eral Grant. , President Arthur has also been its guest It has flourished since the time it was a low-roofed, weather-boarded oid inn. witn a stile block, creaking sign board. and crowd of bowing and merry-hearted slaves It has passed through the days of stage coaches, big log fires and tallow can- dles, and now new. commodious and conducted in number one -tyle by a natural-born hotel keeper.
