Another flower that bloomed on earth
Now has gone to a heavenly birth,
And when the storms of life are o’er
Wo’Jl meet where flowers will fade no
more. *■
‘•There is no death, the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And brighter in Heaven’s jeweled crown
They’ll shine forevermore.
"There is no death, an angel form l
Walks o’er the earth with silent trend,
He bears our best loved, ones away,
And then we say that they are dead.”
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers.
Transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
And ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For alj the boundless universe
Ts life—there is no dead.
How we miss onr angel mother,
Miss her smiling face so dear;
And we see her precious garments,
And our loss—how hard to bear!
Now we know she's safe in Heaven,
But we loved her oh! so dear;
She was lent to us, not given,
And we hope to meet her there.
We are left awhile to struggle,
Left a mission to fulfill;
Though our lives be dark and dreary,
We must be submissive still.
When he calls us, oh 1 be ready,
That we may hear the words
done;”
They’ll mean more than fame and riches
And aught else beneath the sun.
Then we’ll see onr loved and lost one,
Who preceded ns np there, '
And we we’ll meet Jo part—no never,
In that world so bright and fair.

Nobody born since 1815 oan re-
member a time when wars on a
great scale seemed to be impend-
ing in so many quarters as at
present. In both the Old and New
World the political skies are over-
cast. Asia, Africa, Europe and
America are expecting to soon
hear the tramp of armies. That

A good rain is much needed
with us, especially on oorn and
gardens.
The merry month of May has
come again, and the wind contin-
ues to blow.
Miss Sallie LyoD, of. Dewy Prai
rie, visited friends in this commu-
nity last Saturday and Sunday.
Our part of the war enthusiasm
is waning since we learned that
Uncle Sam would not need all of
his boyp to wallop the presump-
tion out of Spain.
"Children’s Day” last Sunday
passed off nicely. The exercises
began at'10 a. m., and arter the
greater part of a lengthy program
of recitations and songs by the
children had been rendered, they
adjourned for dinner. In a short
while the good pepple had emp-
tied their backets, baskets and
boxes of eatables oat on the table
under surrounding shade trees,
making such a,, spectacle as to
cause elongated smiles to play up-
on the faces of the anxions by.
standers. After all bad heartily
partaken of these luxuries, we
think we conld bear snoh men as
W. M. Garrison aDd W. W
Poyner asking where they conic
find another “Children’s Day.”
The best thiDg in the evening ses-
sion was a sermon to the little peo-
ple by Rev. G. W. R. Ray, which
interested the old and delighted
the yonug. It was indeed a grand
day at the Chapel, and all went
home with glad hearts. Bob.

So long as the Democratic par-
ty stands on the Chicago plat-
form—so long as the Republican
administration is controlled by
monopolists and money brokers,
domestic, and foreign, there is no
choice between parties. Every in-
dependent thinker, who under-
stands the situation and loves bis'
country, must act with the Demo-
cratic organization in support of
this Greater Mouroe Doctrine of
Home Rale for America, and work
to enforce it in spite of every
Rothschild behind every throne in
Europe.—Mississippi Journal of
Agricnltnre.
Nevada is 91 strong in the pres-

menced for a large attendance, and
an interesting program will be pre-
pared for the occasion; and it is-

most complete arid attractive ever
