The Times, bow dear to us the name,
Sounds out and as a bell doth ring I
The newt of all the state. ^
Oh let The Time* continue bright
And strive with all its powerfulmight. I
Since we as readers wjllt.
With anxious '<earta and troubled mind I
We stand L, oox when mall’s behind I
Expecting soon the boy,
At length when he himself arrives,
Then each and everyone contrives,
To fill himself with joy. I
The children then are running all,
Though large, though great, though!
Very small,
They all oome out the same.
The Times is read, the news is spread, I
The children back to home are lead, I
and thus the joy they claim.
But when the night begins to faU, I
And darkness hovers over all,
The old man from the field,
Is seen to come, unsteady though
With faultering steps and motions
■Mb,
To use the house a shield.
He smokes bis pipe and reads The
Times,
And in the country’s knowledge climbs I
To heights of unknown name.
The smoke curia through his mus-1
tehinfifi
And tries to seek a nearer way,
To reach Its destined place.
He reads about the by gone days,
When western people filled the ways,
Along the roads and trails
And then he finds another part
Will tell him of their early start,
For here upon theyrails.
Ho reads about the cotton white,
And then says he, “Ohi what a sight
To see in Clarksville grand,
But if there be in any dime”
He says, 'there must be no decline
In such a town or land.’1
He reads the editorials true,
Of politics, of town news too.
And then he smiles a smile,
For there within the county,* fist.
Ho sees Bogota's Optimist,
And then he rests awhile.
I
But ere one minute passes off
He dears his throat with just one -
cough,
And then he readg again
This time he sees old Cedar Creek,
And wonders why they are so meek,
With peaches ripe to lend.
Oh Optimist! Oh Cedar cfeekl
Why is it that you do not meet .
Upon some common ground?
And there between yourselves divide
The valuables you advertise.
So useful rich and sound.
Again he reads 4ioxelder's news
And from the hand of critic views
The latest news up there,
Then to the Madras Items goes
For inspiration. Then be knows
The truth which they declare.
For in one oorner of the page
He sees the name of the wise sage
And wonders, wonders till „
He reads the message of delay
And knows the fact that right away
Will he find Pat and Will.
Oh Fulbrlght fair we need you bwafc,- -
Will you not leave your ancient
shack.
And oome with us awhile?

We are busy planting, hunting
and fishing at present. Every

Health is good in this) country

winters chilling breezes are past
and the ranks of la grippe are

We wish we had some of Bo-

of what we were doing or going
to do. We never boast of what
we have done as some people
already know that part which is
done well.
