: G HE -S@AzR: — Ninteen Hundred Five. i‘ | Gless Prope aaa BY HARRY CASEBEER Do you believe in dreams? Why yes and no. When they come true I believe in them, When the come false | don’t believe in them, —Longfellow, It was a midnight, strange, mystic hour, when the veil between the shadowy present and the eternal future grows dim, | slept and had a dream which was not all a dream; it seemed more like a revelation, Me thought I was in a very beautiful city, Every thing seemed stange at first but presently | began to see familiar objects, the old M. E, church, the dear old High School building, the Modern Buggy factory and others, all of which had grown grey with age. I looked for the old court house, fully expecting that it had survived the ravages of time, but in this | was dissappointed, for a beautiful structure of blue and red granite, stood in its place.
