and more, their minds often wander
hack to the scenes of their child
hood days before they had left the
old homestead.
How refreshing it is to remember
the sayings and doings of our early
friends, though many of them have
passed to the Great Beyond.
How sweet it is to think of the
love and kindness showered upon us
nv our mothers and fathers in our
early days.
How careful were they that we
should walk uprightly, be true and
honest at all times.
Mothers Love!-Who can meas
rre 1.-THE greatest of all earthly
Ioves-a love that will follow way
ward girl or boy to the last-and IL
the end should come that mother
will be found praying that the soul
of her loved one may pass safely
through the gates of Paradise.
II would be we'll for the world at
large. if there were more praying
Inofhers like the ones of old; whose
presence seem to illuminate the
home and who was never satistled
until her little ones were safely
tucked in bed at night.
children would be better looked
after and not left to care for them
selves and the streets would be de-
void of those girls and boys whose
lives are being thrown away, ana
whose aim is to enjoy what the
world has to give which means III
the end utter destruction.
Let us think for a moment OF the
old fashioned way of living "nen
mother ruled the home. Do you
ever think of the old times when tne
freplace was the only means 10
cook the food we had; when COOK
stoves were unknown in the coun-
trv districts. Don't you oldtimers
mouths seem to water when you
think of the good things you had IN
your younger days?
The good old-fashioned pone preau
with its crust at least half an lnch
+hick-which it took some times TWO
davs to cook and then when the
crust was removed there was un-
folded a mass of bread so sweet ana
vallow in color that there is nothing
IN compare with it in these days
with a slice of good country nam
with the drippings, that goes WIN
it-vou have something worth eat
ing. Let us not forget the Johnny
cake with it's sprinkle of crackllns
that seem to give it haVor' 50
much desired.
Then there is the plate-cakes' so
rich and palatable- indulgence TOO
heavy is likely to produce indlges-
+ion Those biscuits cooked as only
thev can be cooked in skillet with
fire coal. both beneath and on top
making a most luscious bread when
mortal tongue ever tasted. We can
not close this article until we nave
mentioned that old fashioned chick
on not-pie with it's Incompatible
favor which could only be had Dy
cooking in an old fashioned hre
nlace. in an old iron pot. Think OF
the immense pot, of hominy that was
meat in the homes, and hundred
other things to taste right could
only be cooked in the old fashioned
wav and in an old fashioned fire
place. 4ho
Those of the readers of the
"Chronicle" who are advanced III
years will remember the scenes Oh
their childhood days; the old man
sion how it looked in the early days
and if still standing, go back some
time and see if memory don't bring
to YOUR mind scenes which denoted
the happiest moments of your hIe'
Go back sometime and visit again,
The little neighbOrhOOd Of long ago,
Chat with the women, visit with the
men,
Look up the people that you used to
know
Inst see the way the children all
have grown,
And more politely answer than your
own.
Go back sometime, 1 don't care WHO
you are, .4
How rich you've got, how great
you've come to be,
Go hack sometime before you SeC
too far
And see the things that still are
there to see,
YOu've been abroad, you have tray
Now see the place you spent your
happiest days.
Go hack sometime, but not to pity
those
Who walk the paths that you nave
left behind;
YOu'Ve got them beat on money L
suppose, g
But I don't know about content Oh
mind,
\ II seems to me that richer that meh
\The poorer that they are, and more
in debt.
Go hack sometime, but not to con-
descend;
They may have heard OF yOu' anu
may have not,
Ha is famed indeed who's famous to
a friend;
Be mighty glad to find you're hO'
forgot III
Go hack sometime to some Old
neighbOrhOO
If you're pulled up, twill hkely uO
you good.
