I will speak of the adj other respects. All people, the world over, have a deep attachment for the country of their nationality. By such meetings as this one we will build up and strengthen a love for Nevada county, even though but few of us were born here. The roving, rest less nature of our population, born of the experiences of earlier—times, has a tendency to break up devo tion to place.

I will speak of the adj other respects. All people, the world over, have a deep attachment for the country of their nationality. By such meetings as this one we will build up and strengthen a love for Nevada county, even though but few of us were born here. The roving, rest less nature of our population, born of the experiences of earlier—times, has a tendency to break up devo tion to place.
