“The Little Patched Trousers.”
How dear to my heart ara the pants of my childhood,
When fond recollections presents them to view,
The pants that I wore in the deep tangled wildwood.
And likewise the groves where the crabapple grew,
The wide spreading seat with its little square patches,
The pockets that bulged with my luncheon for noon,
And also with marbles and fishworms and matches
And gumdrops and kite strings from March until June,
The little patched trousers, the made over trousers,
The high-water trousers that fit me too soon.
No pantaloons ever performed greater sendee,
In filling the hearts of us youngsters with joy;
They made the descent from Adolphus to Jervis,
Right down through a family of ten little boys,
Though no fault of mine, known to me or to others,
I'm the tenderest branch on our big family tree;
And having done service for mine older brothers,
They came down to me slightly bagged at the knee,
The little patcher trousers, the second-hand trousers,
The old family trousers that bagged at the knee.

Mr. Ellis, of Americus. Mr. Ellis is a magnetic speaker and
in sincere terms expressed his interest and encouragement as he
presented the charter to President Mayes who passed it on to
A. B. Conger for acceptance. In witty words “Abe” bespoke the
pleasure of the Club on the great occasion. Another feature of
the program was the Albany Quartette and a violin solo by
an Alabamian. The men were generous in their music and in
the accompanying. Such songs! Tongue-tying words and a
lots of rythm; but those men sang those songs as perfectly as
any first reader lesson they ever sang out on a hot day before
a tired-out school teacher. They had the same earnestness with
out the halting, perhaps.
It was great' to hear them sing and very great to see them
sing. It was embarassing, tho, to have to “investigate” so often
but when a thing is pulled so realistically as Henry Maddox
pulled the stunt he was given to do, the tenseness of previous
moments, it was worth it. Some felt the moment to be so
true, that they were still in doubt ever after President Mayes
turned the “red into pure “white.” In the meantime, things to
eat were passed, prizes were being handed out, talking interrupt
ed by hilarious singing and a constant “investigate” ran through
the entire program. But Marshall Mayes was always patient
and delightful and no man present could have presided with
more ease and graciousness. Vice-President R. L. Lane with
Mrs. Lane, was seated in the opposite end of the dining room
and lent an assisting hand to the President.
The introduction of wives was an informality enjoyed'by
everybody and the hobbies of husbands whether “cussing ones”
or otherwise, added merriment. The favors were useful little
tape measures which every lady guest felt inclined to “Measure
My Love to Show You” in appreciation of men who have eome
so finely together for the betterment of Bainbridge. Mr. Plant
of the Callahan hotel had a difficult position and met it credit
ably. To accommodate the guests of the hotel he served them
in the parlors ami gave the regular dining room to the Kiwanis
club.
