DEAR FRIENDS.—Wo gather this
eveniug at the Robb homestead,
where we have often met on various
occasions, to enjoy a social evening
with you, kn'..eing that yon are short-
ly to remove from the neighborhood.
While agreeing with you as to the
wisdom of your action in retiring
from active} farm life, we have re-
grets that this ]a to be the case. For
Mpg years you have been'0associat-
ed with this locality, (Mr. Robb being
born on this farm) and we have prized
you as time has wheeled by for your
neighborliness ; your willingness to
advance the best interests of the cote -
triunity,
the n '
h t

Y
y
home
and
your many fine qual-
ities of both head and heart,
Here Mrs.Robb,as Miss Boyd,
taught our school several years by
both precept and example ; here you
commenced your married life ; here
your daughters were born t Isere you
prospered. There have been shadows,
1n which we deeply sympathised with
you as you did with us when sorrow
came but, out of the furnace came the
pure gold. A gift is trot necessary, we
know, to keep you in remembrance of
the old home and yet we ask Mrs.
Robb to accept this cane Rocker and
Mr. Robb this Club Bag as Jove-tokeue
that will be of service to you and
speak In you in their use of "Auld
acquaintance'' never to be forgotten.
The sweet among the bitter is the fact
that your new borne will be within
easy reach, as ours will be to you, and
we know thela1.ob.etr]ng will be out-
side is each case. Our united wish is
that
many happy years may be your
poetic)» in Brussels and our earnest
hope la that when Life's partings are
over r wa may all unset at Hoene in the
morning, at the sound of the .Great
Jubilee, to greet ail the friends gone
before us, what a gathering that will
be. Signed in behalf of many well
w]shers.
