We returned last Wednesday
night from a two weeks visit in ;
Riley Co. , Kan. It was the place
of our youth and it always gives us
pleasure to roam , over those hills
and valleys that became so familiar
to us when a boy. It was there
that we attended school in District
No.10 , our first experience in school.
Learned to read write in that little
stone school house that still stands i
though larger now having been re
built after the Kansas' cyclone.
The pleasure of going over those
grounds again is only exceeded by
meeting the dear old friends of
our youth , some of them are now
growing old. Many changes have
taken place. The hills look small
er and the'distances shorter than in
our youth , but the greatest chang
es are in the children growing up
who will soon take our places.
Grown young men and women
greeted us there whom we taught
to read and write 15 and 16 years
ago. "Don't you know us , teach
er ? " "You was our first teacher. "
Thus spoke a bright young man !
and two grown young ladies. Six
teen years ago they came to school
for their first time and they had
not forgotten their first teacher.
We're growing older. There is a
generation coming after us that
are just as good as the best of us.
They're better than the most of
us and soon we will be superseded
by them.
We found crops abundant in
Riley Co. Not so good in Eastern
Neb. At the State Fair we were
impressed with the few county ex
hibits. Cherry County should join
them next year. On this subject
we want to say more later.
