Taere is no feature in any com

Rockcastle and the people there
seem near and dear to me. AS
| grow older everything seems to
be more dear to me. When l was
boy rambled up and down
these creeks fishing and over
these hills hunting squirrels, rab-
bits and other game. Little did l
think that l would be here in this
good year 1915 to write about it,
but God in his infinite wisdom has
spared me to stay this long, but
how much longer l cannot ell He
only Knows. Not my will but
Thine be done.
| love those rocks and rills,
Those plains and wooded hills,
For Thee | sigh:
Land Of my native birth,
When all was JOY and mirth,
1t almost makes me cry.
| see you are agitatiog a bond |
issue Of 500, 600 for road pur-
poses. Well, if I was out there
and allowed vote there l would
vote for the bond issue this time
but [ was against it the other
