Description:
Men hang out their sings indicative of their respective trades. Shoemakers hang out a gigantic shoe; jewelers, a monster watch; even the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Franconia Mountains God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that in New England He makes men." Daniel Webster

Take me Bak to Old Montana
Montana (MT), Linen unused

Description:
Take me back to old Montana. Where there's plenty room and air; Where there's cottonwood an' pine trees, Bitter root and prickly pear; Where there ain't no pomp nor glitter. Where a shilling's called a "bit," Where at night the magpies twitter. Where the Injun fighters were fit, Take me back where the sage is plenty. Where there's rattlesnakes and ticks; Where a stack of "whites" cost twinty. Where they don't sell gilded bricks. Where the Old Missouri river, An the muddy Yellowstone. Make green patches in the Bad Lands. Where old Sittin' Bull was known. Take me where there ain't no subways, Nor no forty-story shacks; Where they shy at automobiles, Dudes, plug hats an three-rail tracks; Where the old sun-tanned prospector. Dreams of wealth an'pans his dirt, Where the sleepy night-herd puncher, Sings to steers and plies his quirt. Take me where there's diamond hitches, Ropes an' brands an' Ca'tridge belts. Where the boys wear chapps for britches, Flannel shirts an Stetson felts. Land of alfalfa an'copper! Land of sapphire an' gold! Take me back to dear Montana, Let me die there when I'm old JC Cory Curteich-Chicago

Description:
Here's to the land where the galax grows. Where the rhododendron roseate glows; Where soars Mount Mitchell's summit great, In the "Land of the Sky," in the "old North State" Here's to the land of the cotton blooms white, Where the scuppernong perfumes the breeze at night. Where soft Southern moss and jessamine mate, 'Near the murmering pines of the "Old North State." Here's to the land where maiden's are fairest, Where friends are the truest, and cold hearts are rarest The near land, the dear land, whatever our fate, The blest land, the best land, the "Old North State."

We're tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer Our weary hearts, a song of hom,e And friends we love so dear. Chorus - Many are the hearts that are weary tonight, wishing for the war to cease; Many are the hearts looking for the right, To see the dawn of peace. We've been tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Thinking of days gone by, Of the lov'd ones at home that gave us the and, And the tear that said, "goodbye!" - chorus We are tired of war on the old camp ground, Many are dead and gone. Of the brave and true who've left their homes, Others been wounded long. - chorus We've been fighting tonight on the old camp ground Many are lying near; Some are dead, and some are dying, Many are in tears. - chorus

The Brook - Tennyson. I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I slide by hazel covers;/I move the sweet forget-me-nots, that grow for happy lovers./And out again I curve and flow, to join the brimming river,/For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever
