I But I hooked up old Ida to my j Studebaker rubber tire last Saturday a little before noon, all the same, and when my blessed old better half sat , kacisia mo with our little errand UUVVii UVOtUV 444W < -... ? w ^ daughter, Rosine, I took off my j breaks and began to speed away in the direction of your town. I ran in high gear all the way until I!, struck the old Columbia road leading by my old friend John NeeFs. There I found that the chain gang! or some other creeping thing had ! been along and piled up the dirt; j all over the road to such an extent j until I had to throw my machine in j low gear, and I made sure I was go- j! ing to strip some of my gearing be- j -fore I orot to town, but I soon found \ ? ' ? O ( that old Ida was bound to go, and j I put the juice to her until we cross-1 ?d over that grade and struck an-1 other hard place in the road about, the Spearman row. Then I threw j my machine back in high and it was j not long before we struck the streets j of your town. I made sure that I had broken the j speed limit but I was truly thankful j that your kind city office-Is passed it all unnoticed. In the ctiy we met our oldest j daughter, Mrs. W. W. Kinard, and j her oldest son, and it was not very | long- before we found ourselves in Mayes drug store sitting aruuuu vuc of those little tables feeding our- j . selves with some of his palatable! . cream and also helping the govern-! ment a wee bit. But I wanted to say something j about going up to Sam Rikard's,! there is where We were headed for; so I went around where we had parked our machine and told the old man Dave Iron to put in more gas and crank them up. The big clock > - - - - ' = 11 1 ^ ! had just struck tour ana tne peopie ? were going in the picture show in j droves, and old Mrs. W. was getting j somewhat restless, so I knew if I, didn't get her away right, quick she j would soon be going up the big stair i way. ? s But old Dave did : the very best he j ( could and it was not long before our j machines were making good time up j toward the college hill and we soon j ~ " " * " ~ _x. xT I landed m tne L<ong l^ane cny at me ( home of our friend and brother, Sam i Eikard. After a short rest a little j business called us up to Whitmijre,; and our old friend Sam proposed to I me to change cars for which I thank-; ?d him kindly and he put his son, Curtis to the wheel of his Chevelot and we were soon going under the ! electric lights of that beautiful and | prosperous little town of Whitmire. j It had been a considerable while j since 1 had been to Whitmire and I j would have been glad to have seen j the little town in the light of the j sun, but I saw enough to convince , me that it was growing rapidly, and | plum full of business besides. When you go into a town of any size it is needless to ask if they are pullir.g together, it speaks for itself. ? ?J- ? it*,. wnen we maae uui ictum uv jui. Kikard'sj the supper hour was" late, | and we were called at once to sur- j rund the table, and what did I findj on that table but a ham of John ; Baker's barbecued pork, there was, plenty of other things on the table,: tut you see my eye was on the ! pork. I So, Mr. Editor, after all this you ; may bet that the night passed off without much sleep. The next morning we went down to John Baker's and spent a few hours with him and Henry Counts ^ and the rest of the family. John and Henry are alway genial and know j how to entertain an old country! cracker, or most any other kind of a , cracker. When we came back Mr. and Mrs. Bikard's two sons-in-law, Claude Prince and Charlton Cromer, were j there; also Jack Counts and his fam- j ily who live near by. By this time the morning was passing over and I began to notice that there was an unusual stirring around in the back yard, in and around the cook room; and just a short while ?-?? ii- _ ?. before the ciock su*uck one, me wuiu passed around, prepare for dinner. And as we walked out on the back porch there stood a long table loaded down with a 17 pound turkey, be-; sides chicken salad, pies,- cakes, tea, and I just can't think of all the rest. 3efore I sat down I said who is go- ] ng to get married today? although . [ thought it was a little unusual to ; lave the dinner before the marriage . eremonv was pronounced. But Mrs. Rikard said that this iinner had been prepared in honor , o Mr. Rikard *who was just passing 1 )y his 50th mile stone. In short, vrac nnthino* larkinc about the V " ^ o linner, and a man should surely love ; lis wife and children who would ; ;how him such honor. I should have 1 aid that Mrs. G. W. Kinard and ittle daughter were also present, j Mrs. Kinard is the only sister of Mr. j tlikard. I have a host of friends and rela- " ;ives in this section of the county j md I never go around them but what j [ heartily enjoyed myself. Why don't I are all unite in fellowship of love and j nake hte whole world happy. But, Mr. Editor, if you will pardon j p? f'U'Jo loHor cr> Innc T rne ior m<tMug umo will close! Very respectfully, ? T. J. W. The Marne and Lafayette. The Review. There was real life and feeling in j the honor done last Saturday to the j memory of Lafayette, in New York and in many other American cities, j The enthusiasm that Lafayette's gen-, erous service' to the cause of freedom j awakened at the time, and agrain on ' his visit to America in his old age, can never be reproduced. The busy life of a later age will never sufficiently acquaint itself with the facts, or get near enough in spirit to feel j their deeper significance. But the j Lafayette tradition lives nevertheless and holds no minor place among the j ties that keep France and America | at heart together. And every new ! stirriner into active expression of this I sentiment, as on last* Saturday, is | heartily to be welcomed. Before the j genuine fire of such manifestations,' petty misunderstandings and infeli- ] cities must wither away. It is a sing-! ularly fortunate chance that Lafay- j ette day coincides with the annivers-, ary of the first battle of the Marne, j which, says Admiral von Tirpitz,! "was a terrible blow to the (German) | army leaders, and left them stunned and baffled as to the future." With j this added reason for celebrating, so ' nicely in harmony with Lafayette's 1 life work and character, ourv youthj will not soon be allowed to forget just why our forefathers left us so ! many Lafayette Avenues, Lafayette j Squares and other forms of Lafay- j ette memorials. But the greatest j gain in the present situation is the ' fact that Englishmen and Ameri-! cans can today join in the twofold celebration, honoring without reservation not only the skill and courage - ? * * that beat back the first made lunge of Prussianism at the Marne, but also the memory of Lafayette, in whose legacy of the generous spirit of liberty modern Britain stands as coheir with moderan America, and ^ with every true devotee of human j freedom, whatever be his country or j his race. 1 Regardless of Cost.
