So travel on, and may the paths you tread Lead to increasing happiness .ahead. God bless you both, and guard you on. Iife's way, And keep you each for each right from today. —Gertrude McCready V Fortunately Clinton has never suffered from the "iron bandits", therefore we lose nothing by this or- der.
