SUMMER MEETING AT BROOKFIELD. 



&3 



lakes, and every time I go and see I come home and say, here right 

 about us we have the best, the grandest, the noblest of them all. 

 Proud of Missouri ! Of course, why not be proud ? If our people only 

 realized one-tenth part of their possibilities, and would let the world 

 know them, you would see such an influx of people as would astonish 

 you. Yes, proud of Missouri ; may we ever be proud of the good old 

 State, and never for once let man, woman or child, fish, fowl or animal, 

 trees, lands or water, animate or inanimate things, say or do ought 

 against our good home in this the center of the United States. 



And this lovely city and the farms all about — we shall always be 

 proud of them all because they are a part of ourselves ; but above all 

 shall we be proud of her people who can take this God given land and 

 bring out of it so much of good and beauty. 



To our country, to our State, to our people, and especially to the 

 people of Brookfield, will ever be our allegiance. 



L. A. GOODMAN, Secretary.
