RE:  Hilliard-Lyons Government Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”)



The upcoming transaction between Hilliard Lyons and Houchens necessitates a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Hilliard Lyons be entered into.  A special shareholders meeting has been called for March 31, 2008.  Shareholders will receive their proxy statements this week.  Please encourage your clients to vote.  Each and every vote is important.  


The Fund needs a majority vote for the transaction to take place.


If you have any questions please contact Fund Administration.
