I pass ed the day at my heme, as ill-health and prevailing weather conditions prevented my going to the Jnion- Recorder office where I have spent > many years of my life. It was natural, under these cir cumstances, for me to recall the memories of the years that have past, and to meditate on the past, present and future. During the year that has just gone I have been in ill health, and 1 have not beer* able to engage to any great extent In my work, and associate personally with my friends and the people of Milledge- ville and Baldwin county as I have beer, accustomed to do all during the years of my life. Of course, this has brought deep regret to me. As I meditate on these things, my memory carries me “back to days that have long passed, at it recalls the names and faces cf those who l knew in my younger years, and who took a part in the religious, business professional, civic and social life of the city. With a few exceptions all of them have passed away. Even the great majority of my boyhood friends have gone to join the in numerable throng in the great be yond. But as I have come along the years I have tried to learn to know and keep in touch with those who have been born and grown to ma turity here, and these who have come to this community to make their homes. I hope I have won their confidence and respect. While changes in the population and citizenship have come, there have also been changes in the ma terial things that have effected the life of the community. L B.
