FRIENDS OF FORTY YEARS
Unique Gathering of Our Older citi-
xens at the Homo of John ..
Tvson.

One OF the happiest events of the
holiday week was "a dinner given
Wednesday afternoon by Mr.. and
Mrs. John d. Tyson to party of old
friends, all of whom were residents
J Of Harrison and friends forty years
ago.
The beautiful home was bright
with it's accustomed cheer and hos
pitality, and the dinner above all
standards in its bounteous range and
elegant service. Mrs. Tyson was
assisted in serving and entertaining
by her daughters and Mrs. J. E. An
drcws, who were especially pleasing
in their efforts, both in the dining
room and parlor.
Those present were Messrs J. 0.
Nicholson, Sam Jones, H. A. Gram
dell, w. S. Allen, Mesdames G. ].
Crump and l.. Kirby, MIR. and Mrs.
K. s. Armitage and Mr. and Mrs. ].
X. Newman.
During the meal a series of toasts,
bringing back the memories of early
times in Harrison, were enjoyed
1.-The Men Who Made Harrison
by Maj. H. A. Crandell; Religious
Advancement of Our Section," by r.
S. Armitage; "OlG Friends the Best"
by w. S. Allen; "When We Were All
Young" by Sam Jones; "Our Early
Sacrifices by j. 0. Nicholson "Our
Host and Hostess" by ]. R. New
man; toast poem-"Our Host by
Mrs G. J. Crump; responses, by Mr..
and Mrs. John D. Tyson. All the
talks were rich in "reminiscences, and
both for their literary merit and To-
cal history would be we'll worth
preserving had they been written
instead of spoken extemporaneous-
ly. We give below Mrs. Crump's
verse:
Here's toast to the host, who's been ready
alway
To give to the friends as he's giving today
right royal welcome when grasp OF the
hand
Has gathered its warmth from the heart of
the man
Here's a toast TO the host, who's battled with
Fate
Nor faltered in purpose for County or State
But stepping stones made OF doing and deeds
That are crowning with blessing today and
its needs
Here's toast to the Host, whose Sunset Of
Life
Is teeming with visions despite earthly strife
OF an anchorage sheltered meath Eternal
Heights
Where the Spirit may bask in lasting de-
lights.

So interested were the guests that
the afternoon was well advanced
before they took their departure, all
voting the gathering one of the
brightest events of their lives.

.
THE frequency of moving from
farm to farm, or instability of occu-
pancy, very likely forms one of the
chief causes for the decline of rural
prosperity, or is a hindrance to
greater progress. Frequency of re-
moval of farmers results in general
shiftlessness; the roads and bridges
are generally in poor condition be-
cause the farmers, moving at fire.
quent periods, are not particularly
interested in their upkeep. Farm
buildings of such farms are not
usually kept in good repair, as the
farmer who is about to move will
leave the repairs for the next tenant
to make. The same reasons will
apply for lack of interest by the
unstable" farmer in the schools,
churches and general welfare of the
community. They move frequently;
they do not remain on farm long
enough to get the best results from
it, consequently they are usually IN
a poor financial condition.
