It was hard to tear away from
old friends and the scenes and

compensation for the loss of the

up here in the mountains of old

ton II her social and material
development, and while | am
very much attached to the good
people OF Franklin | still have a
warm place in heart for all my
Mathews friends. | love to slip
away from here as opportunity
