RAcK TO THE OLD TOWN.

Come let us go back to the old country
town
Where the buildings have gone to decay,
Where the little school house, once white,
beaten brown,
Now sadly calls us there TO play;
Where the grass and the weeds for the
past twenty years
Have boldly climbed over the step
To the door and in sorrow kissed by their
own tears
To die with a sigh of regret.
Yes. we viii return to that town and once
more
CaH ont our old chums for a game,
For the boys we can whistle at the back
kitchen door
And tap for the girls on a pane.
Though the boys are gray haired and their
shoulders bend down
And tine girls are fast fading and old,
They viii welcome us back with a smile
20 ;he town
And q love that can never grow cold.
Are they coming? On. yes, but they all
are not here
There is "Dink" but oh my. what a swell
In his Prince Albert Coat-now a preacher
once said to be born but for-well.
And yonder is-say, what queer looking
Like a spar bobb;ng out Of a wreck
As sure as ] live it is John Thomas Bin
With a boil on his sander-like neck.
Ho. Well, well. who is she, the gaunt
lauudress. I mean,
with a basket Of linen? How? Stay.
IT is Dora Lee Fadd. Pshaw, this must be
dream.
You know when at school she did say
That she would wed never an American
But a Duke or a Count of blue blood.
To was Gentleman" Jim who did alter her
And made her sole Queen of the Tub"
Yon lady. the old one, see. both crippled
on the arm of that large handsome
My eyes it is Jack and his mother. You
Folks had him marked out for a crook.
To the vulgar it seems, this diamond I'M
Was only a bit of rough stone:

Transformed to neat cottage home.

And YOU have 10 run with cane?
And Won have rheumaucs? And you

And You won't he 'Gt'' the first game?
Now we shall return-Ah, the old country

$250.O00 MORE OF THE CHOICE
STOCK Is TO BE ISSUED.
Present Holders viii Take 1t ALL
Meeting of Directors This Dayton
tinued Success of the Enterprise.

At a meeting of the stockholders of
Eva plantation held this morning it
was voted to increase the capital stock
of the company from '$750,000 to
$1,00O,000 by the issuance of $250,0OO
of stock at par, pro rata to stockhold-
ers as shown by the books on the day
of issue.
This new issue is for the purpose of
extending the acreage of the planta-
ton, as voted by the stockholders six
months ago. None of the new stock
will be sold outside of the company.
The officers of the company will get
out the new issue as early as possible.
The original capital stock of Eva
plantation was $5OO,OOO. In 1895 it was
increased to $75O,000 on account of
new machinery and improvements
which have since been put in. The
capital stock of the company has al
ways been paid up to the handle and
has been active in the business.
For some years Eva has been known
as one of the very best plantations in
the world. Enormous, almost incred-
ible yields per acre have been report
ed. Mr.. w. j. Lowrey has been man
ager from the first. Since the change
from the maceration> to the roller
treatment of cane heavy dividends
have been paid. Mr.. f. d. Tenney is
the active Eva man in the city. This
is one of two big plantations in the
group that does not need to send its
output by water to a shipping point.
Waanae is another. Eva stock has
been regarded as gilt-edged for some
time. Shares of the par value of 800
have changed hands at as high fig
ure as $1S5. The latest improvements
include new pumping plant to raise
water from twelve artesiau wells and
direct the same for distribution.
