My journey is nearing it's end. l
think I wrote you last from Boone,
where / was then enjoying a very
pleasant visit with my school friend,
Mrs. Dora Farrow. She is a very
loted and earnest worker in the tenn
perance cause. When l last saw her
prior to this visit she was at the
First Presbyterian church in Port
and, Oregon, attending the National
Suffrage convention, the year of the
exposition, she being a delegate from
Boone county, Iowa, to that and also
to the w. C. T. U. convention. Her
husband, Alex Farrow, is mayor of
the city, and was elected to that
office although we'll known to be a
strict temperance worker and a
mayor who would use his influence
and best efforts to enforce the laws
against the liquor traffic. They
seemed to be devoted and model
couple.
While in Boone l accompanied Mrs.
Farrow to the NJ. E. church to SER
vices. We were ushered to our seats
by her husband, the honorable mayor

pressed it, 81 never let on but what
it was an every Sunday occurrence

asked him to act. Here, too, l en-
joyed the novel treat Of hearing a
