cises at the grove; Part ii, evening exer-
cises also at the grove
In speaking of the grove did so more
for devilment than anything else, for
this end Of the state is all grove, being
virgin wilderness against which a
tongue of scandal has never breathed the
breath of the deadly upas tree, nor bigot
forged chain. Oh, would that | were
safely back in that bright land again, as
the fellow says.
The morning exercises consisted of the |
usual selections-"America" on the or
gazette, accompanied by child voices; |
reading of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and few selections from the pro
ceedings of the Tennessee legislature; !
complimentary prayer by the chaplain;
singing of "Red, White and Blue" by a
man from Statesville; piece on the melo-
deon, entitled "Pee wee Bird Waltz" by
young woman from distance who is
visiting North Carolina, and who was
left at Busbee Station by the train whilst
gathering golden rod address by me
/ touching on "The Growth, Progress and
Final PUNK of Nations"
There is hardly room here for more
than a resume of the address, for it was
long, covering, as it did, the history OF
man and the evolution of government
from the feudal ages, and even back of
that extending through barbaric centu-
ries, and so on down to the present time,
when national and state government be-
comes not only duty but pleasure.
The speaker touched with great power
and feeling upon our duty as citizens, ow-
ing it as we do, he went on to say, to our
selves and our posterity to suitably pre-
pare our minds and hearts by early edu-
cation and association for the great du-
ties Of citizenship, and both by our pre-
cept and our practice so live that we
may safely leave the mere act of voting
TO other heads. The speaker said also
that to the newly arrived citizen voting
is new and thrilling experience. Why
not allow him more of it to do, while we
who have the taxes to pay and who
therefore need rest and change of scene,
NAV safely take much needed relaxation
on election day, and if we do not like
the result we can write piece for the
paper signed TAX Payer" and marked
on the top communicated.
This was followed by applause, which,
on being looked up, turned out to come
from the wife of the speaker, who had
been huckleberrying, and hearing a
noise in the direction Of the speakers
stand had drifted around that way, and
having met the audience before shook
, hands with him and sat down to hear
the address.
The speaker touched lightly on the
subject of the presidency in 1892, and
said that while his health was never SO
good as it was at this time yet he did not
wish his name used for two reasons. One
was that he had been too fearless in his
denunciation Of large moueyed interests
. and the other was that he would rather
