The loveliest month of the twelve is
now with us. October, the Joy of the lover,
the realization of the idealist,. These
beautiful October days with their mel
low sunshine and hazy atmosphere are
balm to past cases. The troubles and
vexations of the summer are forgotten
when we look around us and see what it
has produced for this month to crown
with splendOr. AS we walked out one
morning, our eyes were dazzled with
what few days may bring forth. The
changing of the color of dying vegetation
will take place, when the season comes,
let the temperature be what it may. And
on that morning-a lovely one - we
noticed the change more than usual.
The trees are changing, /. E., the leaves
are undergoing their annual metamor-
phosis, and turning from their original
green into variegated colors of carmine
and gold. The hickory is the first to
turn its leaves into a golden hue, and
now some of the younger trees are near.
ly denuded. The dogwood with its Grim
son and carmine is fast passing away,
and the sturdy oak will be the last to
give up the struggle of this present life.
Here and there its foliage is changing.
but with remarkable tenacity a part of
it will hold on all winter, though it be
in a dry and decayed state. The SQUIRRELS
are eyeing the acorns browning, and
for the winter. which. by the
way, is hard for them to do this fall. as
hickory nuts and acorns are verv scarce.
The chipmunks have disappeared from
Lavania since the camp meeting; per
haps they are preparing their winter |
