All is silent, all is quiet, all is
calm. OUr Community is so sad-
dened by the absence of the
Mocking Bird. We have not
heard its sweet sound for some
weeks. Reckon some heartless
boy or thoughtless man has
caused its absence? Every morn-
ing when we awake we would
hear its cheerful song, and all
through the day, its sweet music
could be heard and often through
the nght we listen to its song,
especially when its young are
nesting iwar the mother bird, and

The Mocking Bird loves to
make its home near the farm
houses of families with children.
They love the dark shades of the
trees best, and where nature is
most profuse, in natural beauty
they invariably' are heard around
the farms, in the country where
the orchards are shaded with
apple trees, peach trees, plum
trees, pear trees and mulberry
trees.
When a boy down on the farm,
the first thing I heard when day
began to break was the cheering]
song of the Mocking Bird and |
the last thing we heard when the
evening shadows began to fall
were the sharp Aotes of the
matchless song bird, “The Mpck-
ing Bird.”
When going over plain and
verdant mead where siummer
sunshine sifts through interlac-
ing boughs we heard the music
throated Mocking Bird entranc-
ing the listening air with its in-
spring music and song. You re-
member the girl “Sweet Alice
Ben-Bolt” who laughed at a smile
and cried at a frown, over her
mound is where you listen and
will continue to listen. “O!
tan to the ‘Mocking Bird,’ O! lis-
ten to the Mocking Bird.” The
Mocking Bird is singing where
she lies.”
Let us seek to bring back the
song bird of Texas, and back to
our communities and protect
them with all vigilance.
