The Old, Sweet Dreams.
Sorrow, stay thy hand while;
See.-the sunlight streams
Across tie world whose gardens smile,
Giving me my dreams
You have darkened every day
Dnnned the nights faint beams;
Here are memories of May
All the Old, sweet dreams.
Brief the space: So swift in flight
Are the w:shed-for CLEANS.
Leave re in the later light
In the wales of dreams.

Old Orchard risks at any premium.
The rates have always been very
high. so high that many property
owners had given up insurance and
some who We're burned out by the big
fire claim that they were better off
with total losses than they would
have been had they paid the high in
surance rates for years.
1t has been practically decided
that Bath will not have a celebration
this year in August. While a great
many people are DESTROYS of having
ore the effort to raise the funds
necessary seems SO great that those

equal or excel that of a year ago
which would mean great deal of
time, work and money and it is not
deemed best to cut these three re-
quisites and give a smaller show.
