to September 3, and some of them

mark them present" and save future

be here and that already they picture
| the pleasure of renewed friendships
and association of earlier and happier
years. The sentiment displayed in
these missives that are daily coming
to us is most beautiful and we betray
no confidence il we here quote from
one letter in particular; here 1t is:
Home! We turn to it in thought, as
| Mohammedan TO Mecca; and though
we tread earth's lovliest fields, they
cannot replace the familiar scenes Of
childhood. The mere mention of home
conjures up visions of innocence and
faces that cannot be forgotten, of
hopes that cannot be buried; and not
all the cares of life, nor all it's miser-
les or its joys, can efface the tender
recollections of the place hallowed and
endeared to us by ties so sacred.
testimony so sincere and beautifuI
makes us feel like sending two invi-
tations to a great soul like this and
we sure hope that your folks" that
were kind enough to furnish your
name and address to US will see to It
that you get your share of the fatted
calf and fried chicken at least once
a day for a whole week. we lust se-
lect this one of many letters equally
beautiful in expressions of apprecia
