The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-04-21
In Honor of Dr.. and Mrs. H. S. Carver.

In Honor of Dr.. and Mrs H. S. Carver.
, The following was read at the farewe
reception in honor OF DR.. and Mrs. III.
Carver at Marshfeld on April Is:
! I'd like to range about these hills
And count those who have taken pill
And tablets, sugar coated shot
, That were directed to the spot
| That seemed to have the greatest needs
That place from which the pain pro
ceeds!
I'd like to count that scattered flock
('Twould safer be for me than "Doc'!) i.
It's claimed that dead men tell n
tales"
| They're safer slowed than those in jails
But undertakers close the deal
For those whom remedies can't heal.
1t is the cemetery lot
That terminates each pilgrims plot.
| While busy Doctor PUSHES round
| And fast RECEIVERS all lost ground.
| Meanwhile the parson mustn't shirk
From getting in his proper work
| tIhat should perhaps be modifying
| The doctors fault for persons dying.
Put parsons look to higher aims
Since death is known to settle claims;
And So the process glides about
| Till where the blame rests is in doubt.
Our doctor didn't come to church
And so we came to him
Enough of us and mad enough
To pull him limb from limb.
But not the pills he's fired at us
Bring TO him all this swarm;
It's just cause he's deserving us
I'VE claim It's not good form.
We like to meet his cheerful face
Far out among the hills.
We like him in our village streets
Regardless OF the pills.
We like him when the toothache starts
To press on gentle gums,
Till those old forceps take their grip
And out the trouble comes,
Therell be some weeping when he goes
Some mighty honest tears,
That signify service here
For three decades of years.
We want to let him understand
All there is underneath;
For his departure from our land
win be like pulling teeth!
Our doctors shoulders have been broad
And able well to carry
responsibilities that would
Reach most from here TO Barre
But Mrs. Caryer's in the ease.
Aud since she's going thither.
On her, of course, the blame ven place
If she takes Doctor with her.
IL seems to be the role Of life
somehow TO blame the woman:
Old Adam set the fashion thus
For ey'ryone that's human.
Now Mrs. Carver's borne her part
In every useful labor
When from our midst she shall depart
We lose a first-class neighbor.
We're sorry that they choose to move;
But since they're set on going,
Wen wish them we'll and hope twill
prove
For them good. easy rowing
But II the wind sets dead ahead.
And currents serve them never.
{ they1l come back. wen take en- in
And love en- bctter'n ever.
