Word has reached us from DIR. G.
w. Patton, written on a souvenir card,
Macatawa Park, Mich, in which he
states that he and Mrs. Patton are
having a very enjoyable time. The
Doctor closed in this way; Fishing is
good. Wish you were here to enjoy
| it with me-" We heartily join him in
the wish. The card portrays Black
Lake from Lookout Pavilion and is
apparently most enticing place.
Sunday was one of the darkest,
dampest and most dismal days CT the
summer, in this community. In fact,
it appeared TO be the beginning Of the
winter season, as the weather was
cold enough to make the wearing OF
! winter wraps and overcoats conifcrta-
BILE, and blankets made sleeping more
peaceful. But Monday morning
brought back the bright, warm sun
shine, as a reminder that summer has
not yet departed.
We cannot understand why people
who live in this wonderful southeast
land should yearn. for the snow-capped
Rockies to spend the summer season,
when they can remain at home and en-
+ Joy weather just as invigorating, such
as the delightful change that was
ushered in here last Sunday, when it
was cool enough for frost. We do not
believe any country on earth is SUI
perior to Southeast Missouri, either
| for healthier climate.
