The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1895-10-12

I were the stalls our pet horses and dear
! little colts used to stand, and back of it
+ the knoll on which the dear little lambs
used to play among themselves and
with us children. How many times
when they grew older they have sent Us
rolling over from the top to the bottom.
No less familiar were the hills, the
stream, the woods, the well and the old
shop, the place i'll which great plans
had been laid and great promises made
if TO none other than ourselves. Some
of these hopes have been realized and
more, while others have been ruthless
" dashed to atoms; and the old gate,
still hanging on one hinge, beside which
many happy greetings have been given
and many sad good bye's said, and
through which some OF us passed to
their lat resting place. Where nothing
but Code grace could give us strength
enough to leave them there, comforting
Us by the thought, lie is not here"
He il risen.
After spending sometime among rela-
tives and friends who spared them
selves nothing and did everything to
make our stay a pleasant one, it was our
pleasure to see for the first time by day
light the western part of New York
state, to see something of the immense
salt work. OF Syracuse and the extern
siye fruit country, the ornamental trees
and nurseries, flower and vegetable gar
dens of Rochester, and the country be-
tween that place and Buff 10 the Queen
CITY Of the Lakes Our little stay here
revealed the tact to Us that the people
ot Buffalo are as proud 81 living IN Bu!-
falo as the New Workers are o living in
New York If one has time it is very in
terestlng to 20 about twenty miles north
rom this point to visit Queenstown
Heights, Lewiston, Youngstown and
Niagara Falls. Indeed the country
around Buffalo is historic ground made
so by the great battles fought here dur
ing the war of 1872. 1t was here the
memorable answer an try, Sir" was
given zen. Brown by Gen. Miller on
july 25th, 1914.

galons OF cream and four hundred and |
thirty dozens of eggs besides other
things. The entire boat IL finished III !
mahogany, and every convenience Tor |
the passengers has been provided. The |
