IL. Hughes was next called upon to
welcome the guests on behalf OF
Dover, which he did in a most pleas
ing manner, telling OF many histori-
cal events in the early history of
Dover. He also urged the Sons of
Delaware to come again and often.
In response TO the two speeches by
Chief Justice Pennewill and Mr..
Hughes, President Hearne of the So
cioty and Benjamin A. Hazel. both
responded in short and snappy
speeches which brought forth app
plauso.
During the dinner, an orchestra
from Wilmington furnished excellent
music and Mrs. Or. w. ID. Burton,
daughter of Magistrate John b. Whar-
ton, delighted everyone with her vo-
cal selections, among which was the
singing of a typical song written by.
Mrs. A. E. Watson of Dover. entitled
Sons of Delaware" sung TO the tune
of "Tipperary." I'm which the diners
were asked to join. The song fol-
lows:
Back to mothers loving arms
Her boys have come today,
TO these wanderers from away.
They bring their well won laurels
To lay them at her feet,
And Delaware's Sons are Delawares
pride
Wiener they chance to meet
CHORUS.
It's not far 10 dear old Delaware,
It's not far to go,
To the place we love so dearly,
To the fairest land we know:
We have heard her in the nighttime,
We have heard her in the day
Heard her calling, calling. softly
calling
To her sons far away.
Commission men and grocers, all
Who feed the inner man,
Will test your indigestion
In every way they can.
Never fear their tempting wiles,
And don't give up the strife.
For Brother Fishers" on the spot
And he'll insure your life.
Each doctor here has brought along
His case of drugs and pills.
But mother tells them plainly
She has no aches nor ills.
"Hearne" in his diagnosis finds
Her arms are strong and free
AS when she used her slipper
On the boys they used to be.
So rich in blessings here at home,
So rich in sons Of rank.
They do her honor everywhere
In business, bar and bank.
A bank with Wilson" is a place
To horde away the gold
OF Delaware's good fortune. yet
The half has not been told.
The pilgrims included.
