G EVERLASTINGLY AT IT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS”

NUMBER 9.
Charge of the Light Brigade
By Alfred Tennyson
(Continued from last week)
Flashed all their sabers bare,
Flashed as they turned in air,
Sab’ring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wondered;
Plunged in the battery smoke,
Right thru the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the saber-stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundred;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thru the jaws of- death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
Oh the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered. v
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.

This is Thanksgiving Day,
America’s own holiday which calls
for different kind of celebration;
but wherever we are, whatever we
are doing let us be thankful.

Friends of Mr. M. A. Chapman

We as well as other local friends
of Carlton Hortman were generous
ly favored by the successful results
of his fishing trip along the Atlan
tic coast last week. These fish
with which Carlton reached home
were of the speckled trout variety
freshest and best flavored we have
been favored with since former
days when annual visits were made
to the banks of the Ogeechee river
by a local fishing club composed
of J. W. and W. W. Edwards, G. C.
Smith, M. E. Everett, Hicks Fort,
Walter Butler and the writer.

The fact was revealed in a letter

Bishop Arthur Moore told how he
approached Cairo on Oct. after pre
siding at a conference in Africa,
“little expecting to find any of the
tension of that nerve center.”
The Egyptian officials’suspicions
were evident to the bishop as he
went thru the usual passport ex-’
