The address of Willie McIntire caus
ed a decided sensation as many had not
expected to find such a large amount OF
%eloquenee in such IL small compass.
He is a youth, well! let him be
He'll be q statesman soon of high degree,
Who walked up that aisle
Win z sell cOmplacent smaisle,
Thought he:
Wait a bit
What a hit
When OF my speech they see the stalsle.
lie gave us doctrine true
What we should and shouldn't do,
While on his audience with great success
The advantage oil tree planting did IMPRESS
But,
If every one said he,
Should plant a tree,
What q great woods there would be,
Iherc,d be no room for one to move
Much less for one TO see
But il. upon the Other hand,
We each SHOULD cut one dow
Ihere'd be no shade or we'd not ihd
A tree the country round.
But he was only supposin'.
Now suppose that this were true,
What would We do, L and you.
Now friend VIII, It's not lawyers, most witty
That are found within the city,
But oft within a country town
SO II people on you fTOwn,
Let your heart with rapture beat
For you will fame, surely greet
And success Will sure be thine
Whist treading the round of the ladder oil time.
A dialogue, next on the program,
Won considerable applause, by the
readiness and ability which they show
ed to cope with the question of the day,
should ''arbor day be proclaimed a le-
gal holiday" After considerable argu.
ment on both sides the debate ended
with a majority of 6 yeas to 2 nays in
favor OF ArhOr day being proclaimed u
legal holiday, Asa Justice represented
the Judge and Miss Amanda Bowen,
ArbOr day.
a few minutes were next devoted to
one minute speeches by visitors. Those
who availed themselves of the opportun-
ity thus afforded we're:
Rev. McIntire the preacher,
And Hon. Layton the teacher.
Mr.. Leap, a former trustee Of the
school, next delivered an abfe address.
After the singing of that old yet ever
all inspiring hymn America" by all
present, the closing address was deliv.
cred by Master Raymond Harris. All
were then invited to the school grounds
where two mounds had been tastefully
laid out. Teachers and pupils now en-
gagged in decorating them with choice
plants which had previously been pro
vided by the school.
Ali then returned to their different
homes feeling that this had been an ..af-
ternoon well spent, for c~heerfulness is
catching, and II who flies from the
turmoil and worries Of the day, to a
place where numbers are gathered in
the behalf of patriotism and pleasure
together, find gloomy impressions speed
lily dissipate. Being also educational
it both soothes the mind and elevates
the thoughts and is also IA cultivation
of knowledge.
Friends, were it better to fret not,
Or from Dane Time try to borTDw
Progress is the activity OF to-day
And the Assurance of tomorrow.
