This is election day and be-

is almost covered with snow and

The work is a little slack at

Twill write you a few line on
the old silver dollar, it will hit
us pretty well under these high
prices:
THE OLD SILVER DOLLAR.
How dear to my heart are the
days of my childhood
When everything else is but dear
to purse.
Those days of cheap collars and
shoes for three dollars,
They float in my dreams while l
fashion this verse.
To day it is puzzling the most
learned scholar to know how to
buy when each price is a par,
and fondly / think of the old
silver dollar-the faithful old
dollar that once went so far.
The hundred cent dollar, the go
get-it dollor, the old silver
dollar that once went so far.
This isn't q joke, though we sing
of it lightly;
For life is no jest mid the stress
of today,
We gaze at a dollar, we see it
shine brightly,
And then for some trifie we pass
it away.
1t wont buy a fig leaf-at least
not a big leaf-it wont buy
a button, with buttons al
par.

silver dollar-the faithful
old dollar that once went sc

that rare combination of a city
of beauty and one of industry: a
class of industry that calls for
the worlds most skilled work.

visitors to exclaim: Truly a
city where life is worth living"
Detroit river is unique in one
respect. 1t has no tides. It is
never flooded and never dries no,
but with an almost constant cur

ceaseless as the grace of God.
Detroit has about 2,7OO manu-

The roads about Detroit are not
surpassed in any part of the
world. Wayne county in which
Detroit is located is spending
millions of dollars in concrete
roads. The country drives,
which extend in every direction
are most picturesque. Many
times have we visited the Grand
Belle Isle Park, an island of
about 707 acres, lying in De-
troit river. This beautiful is
land park, owned by the city, is
said to be unequaled in the
world. It's special attraction in
cludes an aquarium with all
kinds of fresh and salt water
fish. There we saw every spe-
cies of fish imaginable and some
of the largest turtles my, eyes
ever looked on. They were two
aid one half and three feet
across the back. and their legs
were in proportion. They sure
were scarry to look at. There
we saw all kinds of wild animals
from all parts of the world. The
largest brown bear | ever saw.
There never was circus show
that passed through Kentucky
that had the many different an
finals we find there in the park.
The Horticultural building with
plant life gathered from the four
corners of the world. One OF
the best Geological gardens in
America. The most beautiful
| flowers our eyes ever looked on.
In the green house there are
large clefts of rocks covered
with ferns and flowers and the
water trickling down on them
all the time. In there we saw
