GROWING OLD

II does, indeed, to me seem strange,
Since in myself l feel no change,
That in the friends whose love hold,
/ see a something day by day
That daily palmer seems to say
The friends you love are growing old.
A deepening Of the lines of care,
A tiny wrinkle here and there
l see: s.lvering of the gold.
A shadow underneath the brows
Besprinkled now with powdered SHOWS,
Where clustered dusky locks of old.
With sober gladness they rejoice,
More mellow grown each merry voice,
Each smile less bright, less cold;
Still cherished friends as ever We,
Hand claspeth hand more tenderly,
As days go by and we grow old.
AS we grow old, All, this is strange!
l said felt in me no change;
Yet plain as these my words have told
Upon my hair faint streaks of gray
Say silently TO me today
Thou, with thy friends. art growing old

NJ. E. Morgan, who lives on Gold
street in this city. is raising some to-
bacco on his lots, a sample stalk Of
which he transplanted to a box and It
now stands in one ofthe windows Of the
business office Of the Eagle. II bears
some sixteen large fine grand leaves,
stands about three feet high and is pro-
nounced by competent judges a fair sam
pie Of tobacco. In seventy two. three
and four quite large amount Of tobac-
co was raised in this valley, principally
by settlers who had experience but have
left the country most Of them. The
great trouble they had at that date was
the winds Now that Kansas winds are
a thing Of the past and protection OF
trees and hedges are so extensive, there
is no doubt that tobacco and cotton
could both be raised profitably.
