we are looking forward to going
to a small village where we will

Though MqDowell is a very

“DO YOU REMEMBER”
(By Wm. Buckingham)
you remember long agoreHugo crops piled in the mow,
And the old-fashioned threshing .
/■, beesi /
They’re just a memory now.
The old steam engine belching
smoke
Puffed slowly on its Way,
The tank-man and his team came
last-.' ;■ / ■ ,/.‘i *
To start our threshing day.
We did not have a telephone
To call the neighbors then,
The engine whistle,. loud and
clear,
Summoned the neighboring men.
The same whistle that, called the
•men • .
Called the good ladies too,
If was a neighborhood event
And there was work to do.
We liked to see the threshers
;; come,
Then on their way again,
’Twas over for another year
As they puffed down the lane;
Do you remember those good
days?. !
Good friendly neighbors all,
Oh—to re-live those days again
And hear , the whistle call.
