Fifty years ago.
But now our course of life is short,
And as from day to day
We're walking on with hating step
And fainting by the way,
Another Land more bright than thi,
To our dim sight appears,
And on our way to it well soon
Again be pioneers; and while we
Linger we may all
A backward glance still throw
To the days when we were pioneers
Fifty years ago.

A song for the early times out west
And our green old forest home,
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet
Across the bosom comes.
A song for the free and gladstone life
In those early days we led
With a teeming soil beneath our feet
And a smiling heaven o'erhead
Oh the waves Of life danced merrily,
And had a joyous uow
In the days when we were pioneers
Fifty years ago.
We Stunned not labor; when twas due
We wrought with right good will
And for the home we won for them
Our children bless us still
We lived not hermit lives; but oft
In social converse met;
And fires of love were kindled then
And burn on warmly yet.
Oh. pleasantly the stream of life
Pursued its constant flow
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
Our forest life was rough and rude
And dangers closed us round;
But here amid the green old trees
Freedom we sought and found.
Oft through our dwellings wintry
blasts
Would rush with shrek and moan.
We cared not though they were but
frail;
We felt they we're onr own.
oh, free and happy lives we led,
Mid verdure or mid snow,
In the days when we we're pioneers,

PIONEER REUNION
Ten Of GratiOtS Old Settlers Met Last
Thursday at Hotel Arcadia
LIVED FIFTY YEARS IN COUNTY
Landlord Pulfrey Prepared Banquet Which Was
Served In 0Iden Style

The hardships experienced by
Gratiot County pioneers was thor
oughly talked over last Thursday at
a pioneer reunion held in the
parlors of the Hotel Arcadia by ten
Pine River township nsidents, all
of whom are now past three score
years and ten of age and for more
than half a century have made this
county their home. Those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. Ansel Farr Mr..
and Mrs. Edward White, Mr.. and
Mrs. Theodore Sprague, Mr.. and
Mrs. Silas Moody, Mr.. j. w. Doane
and Mrs. Mary Packard. The COM
bined ages of the first four couple
was Clio years, making an average
age of nearly seventy-seven years
each. They have all been married
over fifty years and for nearly one
half of a century the four fami-
lies lived on the four corners of
section nine, Pine Rivsr township
Mr.. Doane, now a resident of Mt
Pleasant, moved to Pine River
township fifty-seven years ago and
for a half century called that town
ship home. Mrs. Packard came to
Gratiot with her parents in 1853
and is still hale and hearty To
look at these people now one
would hardly think that they had
passed through the privations and
hardships incident to pioneer life.
To one not familiar with those
days it was time we'll spent to sit
and listen to these rugged pioneers
relating their experiences of fifty
and sixty years ago Bears, deer,
wolves and all wild game in abund-
ance, compelled to blaze a trail
through the then dense forests to
be sure they would again reach
their starting point, and the
hundred and one experiences of
life in a new country. Government
land in those days was selling for
fifty cents an acre. To-day the
same soil commands $4,000 per
acre.
The gathering of last Thursday
was suggested by Mrs. Silas Moody
and entered into heartily by the
above mentioned present and
former residents of Pine River.
Landlord Pulfrey entered into the
spirit OF the occasion and provided
bountiful noon day meal for his
guests. In the afternoon a local
photographer got busy with his
camera and the Record hopes to be
able to furnish its readers with a
picture of one of the sturdiest lot
of pioneers that ever gathered to-
gether in Alma.
Among other pleasures exper-
fenced during the day was gener-
Gus supply of flowers furnished by
Mr.. and Mrs. Camfield and
daughter, Miss Lena Bell, of Forest
Hill. The company dispersed at A
D. m, after having thoroughly en-
joyed the occasion.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION

The Commercial Secretaries associa-
ton is making a crusade for the build
ing Of Texas factories, and our people
should help in this matter, for with
the citizens lies the success of the I'M
dertaking. Every Texas consumer
should insist when they buy supplies
that they shall have been manufac-
tured in Texas, from home materials.
In buying his domestics, he should get
them made from Texas mills, at Bon
ham, West, Dallas and other Texas
towns, where as good domestics as is
made can be purchased at reasonable
prices. The Mckinney mills make
denim for overalls and cheviots. for
shirtings, and if Texas people would
insist on Texas goods they would soon
solve the problem of building cotton
factories in the State.
