CENTENNIAL ODE.
Should our forefathers be forgot
| While we assemble here
| Upon this sacred soil, the spot,
| And home 10 them 50 dear.
| They guarded well the birthrlght given,
| That heritage divine,
Against which foes have vainly striven
| In days OF ''Auld Lang Syne.''
And we have met to honor now
Our grand, our dear old town,
To wreatile upon her classic brow
| Her hundred years renown.
The tides that beat upon her shores
! W lIn ceaSeleSS eDD ana now,
| Behed her birth one fair June day
| A hundred years ago.
Oh We'll, hundred years of life
| Have swiftly passed away.
| The Joys and tears, and toll and strife
| Are ours, not theirs, today.
| Oh may our names as fair and bright
| AS theirs with lustre shine.
Untarnished still through Times swift flight
| As theirs in days Lang Syne.

/ Mullin, Esq, who delivered an interesting

dress, after which the chorus sang selec-
| tion.
Judge Kelley then read letters of regret
