NY FAREWELL TO DEAING.

Deming to me is a dear old spot,
Where men have an iron grasp
But with hearts in their bosoms that
beat
A true and noble friendship to the last.
A memory Of Deming and Simmon
And good old Uncle Tom, too,
Also Of the strong ties the Adelphi Club
Extends to a heart that's true.
OF your "Adelphi" you are proud
And il cannot be praised too much,
Fort makes strong friends of strangers
And makes them feel as such.
You have a school in your town
That cannot be equaled elsewhere,
When you take into consideration
The population you have there.
Your postoiIice on the corner,
Is thoroughly up-to-date;
And as a stranger gazes.
He realizes Deming is wideawake.
lYou have water wholesome and pure,
And it seems to me pity
That you do not advertise il more
AS a magnet to your city.
Your land so rich and fertile
Will ever attract the tiller Of the soil
Your valley so grand and beautiful,
Is something no mans hand can spoil
As the train starts from the station
Melancholy feelings DER me creep,
And realize we are leaving
Atown worth any man's.while to seek
With many regrets ! left you,
As a friendship around us twined;
And | will carry through life's battle
a memory that cannot be espresso
in lines.
