But give to me the simple strain That seeks the heart outright. And nests within its deepest part— Ah, sing me one to-night. I want to hear the old songs, Their names I need not tell; The quaint old names mean naught to you. But I can feel their spell. Each one, a key, can ope to me The garden of delight That blossomed in my vanished youth: Oh, sing me one to-night. I want to hear the old songs— I never hear them now— The tunes that cheer the tired hear And smooth the care-worn hrow. Heard in the twilight’s dreamy hour Best suited to their flight.

They were called to order by the president, O. L. Jones, after which, “America" was sung by a choir, led by the "lean-to” Joseph M. Allen. The president then made hfs address of welcome, which was well received. George Starr being called on, gave a short talk, referring to the ties which bind the "boys and girls of thirty years ago,” closing his talk with a request that that old song. "Blessed Be the Tie That Binds,” be

ments—dinner over, the president called the assembly together to com plete the program. An original song entitled “The Boys and Girls of Thirty Years Ago,” was sung by George Starr and the choir. This song has been adopted as the association song, and will be used at all future meetings. A committee ap pointed by the president to outline a plan for the future meetings, made its report. Bill Tobin, chairman, an nounced the following as the finding of the committee; That next meeting will be held at the Mount Pleasant church, on the last Sunday in August; the impression being that these meetings are exclusive and only those who were “boys and girls thirty years ago should attend,” is not a true one. It was, and is, the desire that all persons who wish to come and mingle with these “boys and girls of thirty years ago.” shall be made welcome. We want you to come and enjoy the day with us— there Is only one requirement, and that is, "bring a well-filled basket"
and join us.
The meeting next year will be an all-day meeting at the church. There will be an old-fashioned class meeting in the forenoon, followed by a dinner prepared by the “girls ” The afternoon program will consist of a sermon by a talker, to be selected by the president and secretary. This in vitation is "come early and stay late.” The next order of the business was the election of officers for the ensuing year. The present officers having proved themselves the right men in the right places were re-elected, as follows: O. L. Jones, president; Roy Abrams, secretary and treasurer. There has been three deaths during the past year, Martha Ella Shinn Reeves, Ella Day Jones and Kate Reeves Flynn. The following poem was read by Mrs. Joseph M. Allen: I want to hear the old songs, The songs I used to hear. When every day brought happiness, And Fancy flouted fear; When sunset’s glory ever new, Foretold a morn more bright— I want to hear the old songs. Oh, sing me one to-night. I want to hear the old songs, No trilling, so roulade. Where music dons her lace and gems And trips in masquerade.
The fabled music of the spheres Beside those strains would blight The dear old songs my mother sang— Oh. sing me one to-night. The song, "Battle Hymn of Republic" was next sung by the quoir Poem by Mrs. Mary Whelan, as follows: What! Has Old Time turned on his track. And dropped his scythe, and travel ed back Through shades and sunshine ‘til at last. He finds again the happy past? Or, has my eyesight with these year Been badly blurred by dust and tears. Until I cannot see aright? Ah. no, my friends, I see, Wday— For in each face I read the truth, We’ve crossed the Rubicon of youth But, though the shadows plainly tel We soon shall hear the noontide bell Yet we may pause a moment, now r , And shading with the hand the brow. Look backward through the gathered haze To catch one glimpse of those glad days When hope within our hearts held sway And life was one long holiday. But let Old Time’s rude pencil trace The tell-tale lines upon each face; Let lovely forms grow bent and scarce And gray creep into golden hair: Lot merry laughter, sprightly grace To sober middle age give place; And yet the passion fires burn To dying embers in the urn. Though the eyelide will grow wet. And hearts will fill with vain regret Until, alas, we fall to see The good that is, or is m be; Yet, still, at times like this, I know Come memories of long ago, ‘Till in each throbbing heart there
lies
That’s fit for speech in Paradise. But, for, today, my friends, I pray, Let each one throw regrets away; And hold not lightly pleasures rare That, intertwined with toil and care Come but to bless us and to cheer; Let each one feel that to be here Is but the brightening once again Is hut the strengthening of the chain; And let's renew the pure and good
Both the circus and circus day are voted a success. The show was a good one and everyone who attended seemed satisfied The crowd was peaceful and little rowdyism marred the day. There was little, if any, drinking and the usual number of disorderly people was lacking. There were no arrests and few complaints made to the officers. The special officers appointed to look after the cir cus crowd all say that the day was more peaceful than any previous circus day in this city. The street parade Tuesday morning seemed to please the crowds and several persons were heard to say that as the parade was so good, the show must also be good, and that they would attend. They were not disappointed in the circus. The show was all that it was advertised and there were several real acts and stunts never before seen in Greencastle. The clowns probably drew more attention than any other feature of the circus, especially among the little folks. The funny men had many new and comical acts and kept the crowd in laughter most of the time. The trained lions and elephants were excellent and the feats of the trainers drew gasps from the spectators more than once. The crowd seemed to hold its breath when the lion tamer placed his head in the mouth of a huge lion. The side shows and outside attrac fions drew their share of the crowd. The "wonderful snake charmer." the "little wonders from the Amazon” and other simular attractions had good attendance. The attendance at the circus in the afternoon probably was larger than that of Tuesday night. Only medium-sized crowds, however, attended each performance. The show left here late Tuesday night for Brazil where It gives two performances today. Most of the performers stayed here Tuesday night and went to Brazil Tuesday morning.

SEES VICTIM’S FUNERAL THROUGH CELL WINDOW
Edward Van I’ell, Murdered of Charles Tindall, Former DePanw Man. Sees Procession Pass (he Jail.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind, August 29.— The body of Charles Tindall was taken past the county jail, from a cell window of which Edward Van Pelt, Tindall’s slayer, gazed, yesterday. The funeral procession from the house to the cemetery passed in full view of the prisoner who watched, it with no apparent emotion. A few minutes before services were held at the Tindall home, sympathy for Van Pelt assumed a definite shape among the members of the

neighborhood. This concluded the official pro gram, and the “old boys and girls,’ indulged in some of the old games of thirty years ago, “drop the hand kerchief’ and “the old miller," and it was very plain to be seen that the thirty years were beginning to tell on some of them. They were no as spry as of yore, but had the time of their lives. The following progran was read: Memphis, Tenn. J. S Morris, care of Mrs. Martha Hillis; “Sorry that I can't be with you tomorrow. Say to the "boys and girls of thirty years ago," that I regret not being with them at our annual meeting. I trust all who attem will enjoy the meeting as much as did last year. Will try to be there next year. J. H' MORRIS. Sunday's Meeting. In the morning by an old-fashion ed class meeting, followed by another one of those dinners served bj the “girls of thirty years ago”.

condemning Van Pelt as a murderer for whom no justification could bej found was voted down, twelve to eight. The resolution, drawn by up Senator Will A. Yarling. A. F. Wray and George H. Meliks, condemned the shooting of Tindall as "a cowardly and brutal murder, which was a terrible crime against organized and civilized society" The members of the bar argued for and against the adoption of the resolution until the hour of the funeral forced a vote. A controversy has been started by a printed criticism of Downey Van! Pelt, son of the man who shot Tindall. The son played in a local band the night following the shooting of Tindall, and a local newspa-i per referred to this action In an un-I complimentary manner. A large! number of citizens of the city signed a protest against this criticism of the son. which they caused to be I printed. Tindall was a former DePauw man and was well-known in this city. Not a Word of Scandal. marred the call 0 f a neighbor on Mrs. W. p.
