POEM OF WELCOME.
LAURA RosAMogp WHITE.

Welcome sister. to our Order
Famous through this mighty land,
We are glad tonight to greet you.
Proud TO clasp your patriot hand.
In the days when grimmest.
You were toiling with brave heart
Doing for our weary warriors
true woman's noble part.
In the legends of our village
You have made n record fair,
You, the mother Of a soldier,
Come TO US with silver hair.
Three-score years and ten, and four more
Have upon your brow made trace,
But your loyalty makes lovely
Every line upon your face.
Ger these country roads you iourneyed,
With your wagon and your nag,
Gathering gifts for the defenders
OF our Nations holy flag.
Many = wound was soothed with linen,
Many q comfort reached a tent,
That except for you dear sister,
Would not ever have been sent,
Blessings on your silver tresses
Generous spirit of the past,
Your unselfsh memory blesses
Those with whom your lot is cast.
When the May weaves flowers of beauty,
They are plucked for heroes dead,
Who fulfilled their glorious duty,
And their life blood freely shed.
And for service that you rendered
In the Nations time OF tears
Take these flowers from Autumn bowers
Signet OF your loyal years.
Every petal is q token
or our great esteem for thee
Welcome! welcome! to our Order,
Sister OF the W.R.C.

Because he is honest, he is compe-

he is interested in the ups and downs

nnerringly unanimous a notion will
prevail in nearly every mind in q
locality. Let one drop into a
community and run against some
bright, progressive idea floating
around and he will find it is current
in the thoughts of nine out of every
ten men he meets; let him drop into
another community and on perhaps
the same subject the first man he
sees will speak of it with a long
drawn countenance and an expression
of horror. Going on he will find that
nearly every man he meets will give
the same dubious shake of the head
and mutter sits preposterous. To
illustrate the different ideas of
different communities we cite an
incident of some weeks ago. An
anonymous writer from Middle valley,

ashamed to connect it with the
mummified ideas which he proved him

office which he aimed to be a most
scathing sarcasm on the SIGNALS
advocacy of reform in our road
system and mild insinuation as to
the proper way for us to conduct the

the kind who wear life out year after
year in one dreary routine of non
progressiveness and in ten years
from now will be not one dollar
better off than be is to day. There
are scores of men who have the same
ideas in this county. On the other
hand how different with the farmers
