o. j. Buford writes us a very
pleasant letter from his present
headquarters, the Halliday House,
Illinois. o. j. says that
railroading is all right and he
meets many pleasant folk, but that
does not compensate for being
far away from the many friends IN
dear old Iron. He will probably
pay us a visit before long.
Hove the tinkle OF the bell
On hill, in field and vale and dell,
For there tits far awayl
But Changing meath my window here IN Town.,
When. tossing restless on my coueh OF uoWn,
Pm vainly wooing midnight sleep,
Such words as make the angels weep

On pasture green or meath the NOW
In stabbed warmth and clean;
But turned at large, to forage what she can,
Half-starved and shiv'ring, lean and wan,
So that to live she must perIorce
Us from our property divorce,
Apest she is ween!

small attendance was due to the
very inclement weather or lack OF
enthusiasm we are not advised.
