Spight, lifelong friend and soldier
comrade also spoke of the life of Mr..
Kinney as did Joseph Brown, whose
business relations with Mr. Kinney
gave him an opportunity to know him
intimately. Both Capt. Spight and Mr..
Brown spoke in the very highest terms
of Mr.. Kinney as a business man, fair
and honest in his dealings and as a
Christian implicitly trusting in the
crucifed Christ. The greater part Of
Mr.. Kinneys life was spent on the
farm>where he worked hard and man.

If there is anyone in the States that

smart, they are wrong. | figure that
in times of peace this is a rich coun-
try. 1t is a most beautiful country
On account of its age, everything is

in America. The roads through the
country are paved, straight and wide,
There are many fine French and Eng
lish automobiles, and some of our own
Fords. The land is rich, the climate
grand. There has been snow here this
winter but spring is coming in fast.
The high morals of the French are
quickly noticeable. You never see any
one drunk. There are no tramps in
the nation. Everybody is honest OF
they trust each other. Locks and keys
are seldom seen. Lawyers get no bus
mess here. Their hospitality, / have
never seen the like. When a foreign
