Leaving Covington by way of Mon
ticello street leading South going as
far as Anderson’s Gin, then turning
Eastward by way of Hays ton and
Starrsville, Mansfield and Newborn.
The roads on this part of the trip
we found in fairly good shape,, but
when we left Newborn behind we
found that wt would have a long,
steady pull from there to 'Brick Store
as the roads were fresh worked and
wore badly cut up. from Brick
we found the roads fairly good aill
the way to Monroe by way of Social
Circle. Spending an hour in Monroe
ior dinner we resumed our journey
passing through Jersey and as far
North as Walmutgrove, finding the
roads in condition to make good
From Walnutgirove we turned South
going as far as Oxford, where we
turned Westward again passing
through Almon and on to Conyers.
From Conyers we tunned Southward
through Salem, Pace, Ritciiandsville,
Livingston and on to Snapping Shoals
making splendid time on this part of
the trip. From Snapping Shoals we
went through by Rocky Plains and on
to Legman by way of Flat Shoals
bridge. This part of the county be¬
ing very hilly and rough we made
slower time, but after leaving laguin
we found the roads almost, a speed¬
way from there to within a short dis¬
tance of Covington, arriving at our
starting point, having completed a
circle of one hundred and ten miles
iu circumference and tacking up pos¬
ters and distributing circulars at
every cross road, forks, gin houses,
stores and advertisng naiad town of
any importance.
The Overland 38 behaved beautiful¬
ly, with Mr. Bradshaw at the wiheel
taking the hills and the mud like
the veteran it is. And right here I
want to say that Mr. Bradshaw did
not have t 0 stop for any adjustment

THE TREE OF TREES.
By PETER M’ARTHUR.
[Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso¬
ciation.]
A TREE there is that all year round
J*. Puts out its blossoms everywhere.
In every happy home it's found,
And once a year its fruit is lair.
It blooms unseen, but none the less
Its blossoms yield a peerless fruit.
As high as heaven its branches press
And deep as love it sends its root.
Our thoughts of those to memory dear
Will fill it with a radiant bloom
Whose fragrance charms the weary year
And floods with light our days of gloom.
A whispered wish, a childish sigh,
Will make a hopeful blossom spring,
And when the waiting months go by
The tree the longed for fruit will bring.
«
*?
:A:
5b
The fruit it bears what art can show ?
All kinds of sweets and wondrous toys I
How can a tree so truly know
What gifts to bring for girls and boys;
For old and young its branches bend
Beneath their burden of delight
With gifts and trinkets without end
To cheer the heart and glad the sigh
And when old Santa Claus comes round
AH white with snow, but full of fua
He plucks the presents that abound
And leaves a gift with every one.
He is the prince of woodsmen bold.
For he it is, and none but he,
$Pho gives the world to have and hold
The strangely fruitful Christmas tree.
