My Grandfather Smith used to like to tell the story of how he dated my Grandmother "to be" in a horse and buggy. He would drop Mabel Lake off at her house, then he would head the horse for home. He would lay the reigns over the front of the buggy and lay back. Most of the time he would go to sleep.

A professor at Cornell University wrote this poem. I can’t decide if he were a disciple of Christ or an opponent.
What was our trust, we trust not;

"WATER! WATER!"
After one of the great battles in the Civil War we were coming down the Tennessee River with a company of wounded men. It was in the spring of the year, and the water was not clear. You know that the cry of a wounded man is, "Water! Water!" especially in a hot country.
