Miss Althea Keaton has composed
the following poem and Miss Eunlce
Ferguson has composed her n too,
Althea's is "The Farmer" and Fun
ices Farmers Work"
Farmer.
When the day begins to dawn,
And the sun rises to greet the,-
dawn,
The farmer rises to begin his work;
Never from duty will he shirk.
He breaks up the ground and moulds
up the clay,
Whistling and blowing the live
long day,
The seed are growing, the work has
begun;
By the rules of the farms paper,
he'll work till done.
Some clover over here, some vetch
over there,
NV friend, what can compare
With these fields so green and rich
With plants so fine and no sign OF
a ditch,
Oh, it's nice to live on a farm.
Where we live at ease and lear
no harm;
Where we eat what we raise, and
raise what we eat,
From molasses and corn on w to
wheat.
"A. M. K.
Farmers Work.
The farmers work is nothing but
toll, -,
Flowing and narrowing the cloddy
Laboring hard from moon till sun,
Farmers work is never done.
The merchants and others have time
to rest,
But the poor old farmer must do
his best;
To keep the grass from growing IS
his aim
For cotton not to grow is a heart
stricken pain.
But all this, he is never as blue, as
seems the city folks.
He takes his troubles most like
you would jokes,
But sometimes he fears it will not
rain,
So the ground can sprout his peas
and cane,
But he looks to God who sends these
seasons
And knows he has for this special
reasons,
Therefore, he works all he can
So he may be the conqueror OF
land. 49,.
