It has been two weeks since we left
IIonrs home in Salem. In some days 81
seems; two months In tho face of all
the ever changing scenes OF noun;
'tains and valley, wooded sleeps. bald
rocks; roc and beautiful cultivated felds
and vineyards, with the constant
passing OF long trains,rI must confess
that I get home. sick for broad level
fields the long leaf pines and the
friendly faces of Salem and Sumter.
