FORMER RESIDENT WRITES POEM ON FAIR I am going to don my Sunday clothes and harness up the Ford, Then get my wife and kiddles in and holler “all aboard." For I got an Invitation and I'm longing to be there And I'll head her for Decatur and the Northern Indiana fair. / ■ I am going to start the fireworks about the break of day, For I want to be in Adams when the band begins to play. I’ll throw my lever into high and there I’ll let her stand 1 am going to keep her chuggin’ till 1 reach the promised land. & J ■ Yes, 1 am going to take an outing and pleasure seek in flight, For distant lends enchantment when your Ford is hitting right. With faith in Indiana pikes, in Henry Ford my trust I’ll inscribe upon my banner, "Adams county fair or bust.’’ There Is nothing like b6me-coming for the quickening of the step, It acts upon your liver and it fills you full of pep. It sets your blood to tingling from your fingers to your shoes— A balm for all your ailments, a dispenser of the blues. There is nothing thrills your bosom and lasts you to the end, I.ike the meeting of a brother and the hand-shake of a friend. And nothing brings more real Joy to mortal man 1 know Than to meet and grasp the hand again of friends of long ago. I wandered back a year ago so long had been my stay, U ’ The friends that once 1 knew so well were wearing locks of grey. I scanned ten thousand faces and ere the day was done Friends were standing all around me—yet I scarciy knew a one. You see them as you knew them not in years of strife. Not in the dark and dreary days but in the prime of life. But here old age had stepped between; the curtain now unfolds And leaves you standing face to face with life and what it holds. There’s a dormant spark of youthful pride that in our bosoms lay, I called on Doctor Neptune a formej- friend one day. He guessed my name a dozen times and then he gave it up For he hadn’t seen or heard of me since Fido was a pup. J But Oh! the flame that lit his brow when he had learned the truth; We lived awhile and breathed again the atmosphere of youth. Those youthful happy by-gone days, forget them if you can. Why: It set us both to dancing and swinging Maryann. Yes, I’m going to don my Sunday cloth and harness up the Ford, Then get my wife and kiddies in and holler “all aboard.” For I got an invitation and I’m longing to be there And I'll head her straight for heaven and the Adams county fair. (Written by E. F. Gilpen, 943 East Market street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. Gilpen was here last year and is making arrangements to attend the big fair again this year.)
