Farm Life for the Roxs.

My friend and 1 were talking about
q country life for the boys and he said he
was going to send his boys away from At
lanta and put them on the same old farm
his grandfather owned, near Decatur,
where he spent SO many happy days
where he worked and where he played,
where he plOwed and hOed corn and cut
wood and drove the wagon and went to
mill, and where he hunted and fished and
seined and damned up the branch and
made fiutter mills and climbed trees and
played bull pen and rolly hole and pull
over the mark-where he went to school
with his dinner bucket all fixed up SO nice
by his mother with fried chicken and the
gizzard never omitted and old-fashioned
homemade sausage and two hard-boiled
eggs and little paper Of salt and pepper
already mixed and some beat biscuit with
no soda in them and two turn over pies on
top to cap the climax Of good things. Il
don't believe said he, that am doing
my duty by my children to raise them in
town, for they will never have the good
time had if keep them here.'-Bil Arp
