The History of the Trip by On
Versatile Correspondent
Hey Denver.
There's no mistake we're ne'er too old
to turn some backward glances,
And dream and dream and dream awhil,
among life's first romances;
SO 1, tho gray, oft keep my gaze
upon the past land straining,
As Daniel with his window oped
that faced the hills of Canaan
It's like jaunt to some new cline
to leave the city's hustle
And wander by the old, old rills
and hear the old trees Iustle;
And in our fancy meeting them
we'll meet again there never,
Half wishing life was done that we
might be with them forever.n
Applicable to old people, and, but
though We may be too young for
''first romances," are not gray, do not
gaze at past land straining, we can
take some backward glances and
methinks will take some now and
review one of the most pleasant oc
casions that it has been my good
fortune to participate in for quite a
while, tho pleasant remembrance of
which fingers with me, as this beauti-
full Indian summer has deem with
us all; and I can truthfully express
myself as being glad that something
come in my time that may see, feel
and know of it.

time.
On arriving at the Fair Grounds
we went to the Secretary's Office and
the SECRETARY and the Presidents gave
The party on address Of welcome.
Secretary Halloway in addressing
the girls said: MAY you always re-
main the most popular girls of your

chance to get then over in Newberry
county, but | guess somebody might
object to them moving to that county.
