THE ROAD TO LAUGHTERTOWN. “Oh, show me the road to Laughtertown, For I have lost the way! I wandered out of the path one day, When my heart was broke and my hair turned gray, And I can’t remember how to play, I’ve quite forgotten how to be gay. It’s all through sighing and weeping, they say; Oh, show me the road to Laughtertown. For I have lost the way! “I used to belong to Laughtertown, Before I lost the way; For I danced and laughed the livelong day, Ere my heart was broke and my hair turned gray; So it ought to be easy to find the way. But crying has made me blind, they say, And still toward Teartowu my sad feet stray— Oh, show me the road to Laughtertown, For I have lost the way! “Would you 1 arn the road to Laughtertown, Oh ye who have lost the way. Would ye have young heart though your hair be gray? Go learn from a little child each day, Go serve his wants and play his play, And catch the lilt of his laughter gay, And follow his dancing feet as they stray; For he knows the road to Laughtertown, O ye who have lost the way!” —Katherine D. Blake. McDonough, Georgia. Friday august 30, 1912. LOCUST GROVE SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY. People Are Enthusiastic Over Grammar School Prospects.
