An Appeal to the
Patriotic Farmers
Local News
From Freestone
Oct. 30.—We are in the grip
of a cold spell, although it is
nice and fine this evening.
Mrs. Chester is visiting rela-
tives and friends near Donie.
The postofiice looks gloomy and
the postmaster iooks gloomier.
On the outskirts of town,
among a natural grove of trees,
stands a beautiful old Southern
mansion, a relic of a bygone
day.
In the springtime vines Clam
beY about the great white pillars’
and flowers nestle among the
grasses and dot the meadow,
creating here, a veritable
fairyland. Among the cedars
and the oaks the livelong
day we hear a melody of happy
music. Tlje whistle of the ear
dinal, the song of the bluebird,
the scream Of the jay and the
silvery notes of the mocking
bird, ail blended into one great
paen of song.
The old house is crumbling
now, and the flower harden is
overgrown with weeds, yet as
we stand In the shade of the old
ruin, we hear the evening breezy
among the cedars as they whis-
per memories of the past.
The ruin fades. We see the
house as it stood mahy years
ago. The yard is no longer a
tangled mass of seeds but a
bower of beauty with trim walks
showing the care of the old ne-
gro gardener. The moonlight,
we fancy, shines over all, dis
playing the roses and the jas-
mines wet with dew. Seats are
scattered here and there, one
beneath a rose trellis, another
beyond a screen of ferns. In a
cedar near the gate a mocking-
bird is singing, and only they
who have heard one sing in the
moonlight can know the exqui-
site beauty of it.
The great house is brilliantly
lighted and Japanese lanterns
swing on the porches. From
within comes the strains of a
waltz and sounds of mnr^y
laughter and song; figures glide
by and the waltz has begun.
Through the open window we
catch a glimpse of the tbss of a
curly head, the sway of a featto
ered i«u, the flash of blue eyes

The waltz ceases and a boy
and girl stroll out into tire gar-
den and down the path. Sever-'
al others follow. The fragrance
of the flowers hung heavily on
the air and the mockingbird
sings on. There is no sorrow
here. They are wandering in a
world where sorrow is unknown.
Happy then—but now! The
lovers have wandered down the
paths of the old garden and into
the path of life. The happy,
song of the mockingbird has
long ceased and the flowers are
dead. The roomB no ionger ring
with happy laughter and the
merry voices are j|»SSls'd, The

and picturesqueness which only
old age can give. But no longer
is this the scene of happy revel
