LET 'EM HOWL
M. RecoYery Trlbune.

lf Recovery tribune.
Since the recent sensational exposures
at Celina, several newspapers seem to vie
with each other in bespattering not only
individuals and other newspapers, but
communities as well.
After scanning the columns Of the Mer-
Ger County Observer, the reader is left
under the impression that the Reservoir
City is one of the most infamous pest
holes to be found outside the law abiding
place of the rich man who spurned Laz-
arus. The relentless write-ups of the
Observer have accomplished some good
results, but they are being carried to tire
some extremes to the detrment of that
publication. They are apparently striv
ing to make political capital of the cOndi-
tions at the county seat.
The fact that two of the men who fig
ured prominently i'm the recent hap
penings at Celina are Democrats and Off
ce holders. casts reflections on themsel-
YES only and not the party. To take ad-
vantage of such conditions and to at
tempt to blacken the character of other
good men of the party is, to say the
least cOwardly. and the effects on the
democratic party will be nil.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

"Tis many years boys, since you and
were young,
And down in the Southland our happy
songs we sung.
oh, those were fine and Jolly days, when
we were full of go!
For all was bright with roseate hue some
fifty years ago.
We're looking down the vista, boys, with
eyes not quite so bright
AS in those days of long ago, but let's be
gay today,
When we drink the dear old toast, sweet
hearts and wives
we know our hearts are just as young,
my boys, as fifty years ago.
All, those were happy days, boys, when
we We're free and gay,
And all the things worth while in life
seemed coming straight our way.
When hopes We're high with visions
bright we welcomed friend or foe
For we We're just jolly crowd some fifty
years ago.
Upon the scrool of fame, old boy, you
know you wrote your name
In letters bold, with steady hand, and l
did mine the same.
Some lofty castles fine and grand, we
fellows built you know
For in those days we were not plucked
ives fifty years ago,
And, oh, the castles we built then, so
very big and tall,
Alas, ,tis true that most Of us were only
But as we sailed away to sea, to meet
our willy foe.
1t mattered little then to us, some fifty
years ago
And when on dress parade, my boys, we
marched with lordly air
There neer was king or president that
with us compare
We knew the world awaited us-the
girls all told us So
AS we by chance i'm Lovers Lane, met
some fifty years ago,
Then here's to those bright dreams, boys
that call us back to day,
And though were old and battered hulks
we've made a good square fight
And when the orders come on our last
cruise to CO.
Let's hope we sail with hearts as young
as~fifty years ago
