OLD MISSOURI

OLD MISSOURI
Back there in old Missouri
Where the Joys Ollie abound.
When Thanksgiving days ap-
preaching,
And the turkeys struttin'
round;
When the pumpkin g turning yel-
low,
In the crisp November air,
And the smell ri apple butter,
Penetrates the atmosphere.
Oh! My heart is filed with long
ing
As the thought comes to my
mind.
OF the joys Of old Missouri
Long about Thanksgiving
time.
Back there in old Missouri,
When the corn's all gathered
in.
When the elders in the cellar,
And the apples in the bin,
Then us boys, We used to sit,
Around the fireplace shining
bright,
Telling stories, playing games,
And cracking hic'ry nuts at
night;
And a thousand memories haunt
me,
As | sit alone and and pine
For old Missouri,
Long about Thanksgiving
time.
Back there in old Missouri.
In that land OF pure delight,
Where the gently waving corn
field.
Sing a lullaby at night,
To the baby squirrels asleeping,
In the nests u p in the trees;
And the Whipporwill's sad mu-
sic
Mingles with the evening breeze.
Oh! Pm feelin' kind O homesick,
As such thots come back to
mind
And | yearn for old Missouri
Long about Thanksgiving
time.
Back there in old Missouri,
To the folks a-living there.
1t don't seem to cut no figure
Ii the fields are brown and
bare:
They Amt got no time to dream
About the summer days that's
gone
But seem content with any
weather,
That's a mind to come along,
For every body's busy,
And affecting mighty fine,
Back there in old Missouri
Long about Thanksgiving
time.
Back there in old Missouri,
How ! long for Just one sight
OF the dear old country home
stead,
AS | sit alone to night.
And a thousand tender feelings
Come a-wellin' in my breast,
AS | think about the pleasures
Swarming round the old home
nest.
Oh! The the tears come starting
up az. in,
In these old eyes Of mine,
AS think of old Missouri
Long about Thanksgiving
time.

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL WHERE
HE MAY DIE.
Andrew Anderson a SKandi-
navian became intoxicated in one
of the blind pigs at Carpio a
week ago Saturday night and
when found was nearly frozen to
death. He had been in the pig
and after filling up on booze,
went out to sleep in the cold. 4,
man nearly drove over him and
he was taken into the hotel.
When it was seen that little could
be done for his injuries, he was
sent to Minot Tuesday with Fred
krogland. His hands are near
ly rotted off. He claims that
the Carpio physician said he was
too busy to give them attention
and they look it. The hands
will undoubtedly have to be am
putated. 1t is not known if by
proper attention in the first
place whether or not the hands
conld have been saved, but one
thing is certain, Ward county
should not be made to stand the
expense OF patients made i'll by
drinking booze in a Carpio blind
pig. Let the citizens of that
place take up a collection and
pay for doctoring the man.
They allowed the nefarious pigs
to run. The man is being cared
for at present at the county hos
pital. but as blood poisoninghas
set in, his life may have to pay
the penalty for his foolishness.
Anderson worked near Carpio at
threshing.
