BACK TO "OLD HOME TOWN.
TO the Returning Man of Affairs, How
Many Tender Memories Cluster
About 1t!

For a number of years fall home
comings have been popular in many
counties and smaller cities over the
country. They are for the most part
family reunions, given wider inter-
est because they attract to the home
town or county many friends of yore
who might otherwise never meet
again. Social occasions are arranged,
there are public addresses, special
church services, historical reminis-
cenceS and various forms of enter
tainmont for the guests from other To-
calities who left their old home, farms
and towns, TO meet let us hope, a
larger and more enduring, success
abroad than they could have done at
the old home G.
The old town looks small no doubt,
to those who went to the city for their
life work; the old farm cramped. to
those who now inhabit the wide
reaches of the West But to all the
home-c0mcrS there are dear places,
halloWed by tender memories, to visit
7-the4 brook, the ancient sycamore the
beloved hills in the country places;
and in the small towns the old home

Small Town Best.

We rarely hear of person going
hungry or without occupation in a
country town. Sleep, which is the
great restorer of vigor, is profound and
undisturbed during the hours of dark

ments of fellow dodgers in crowded
city districts make night hidcOus and

point humanity in the small town is
