OF INTEREST IN THE
THE BECKONING ROAD.
The high road, the low road, the road
that leads away
To blossomed fields of mem’ry where
our sweetest fancies play;
The road that leads to woodlands and
beside a singing brook
That mirrors pictures of us as we
used to be and look.
The high road, the low road, the road
that twists and bends
And leads beyond the city where all
sordid striving ends—
That takes us back to childhood by
the paths we loved to roam,
Where those who love us for us wait
to bid us “welcome home.”
The high road, the low road, the road
apast the mill
That leads to vales of mem’ry where
it’s all so sweet and still,
Where every recollection is a vision
wondrous fair—
The road that’s best to travel is the
road that takes us there.
—John D. Wells in Buffalo News.
A PRETTY GOOD WORLD
This wolrd’s a pretty good sort of
world,
Taking it altogether,
In spite of the grief and sorrow we
meet,
In spite of the gloomy weather.
There are friends to love and hopes to
cheer,
And plenty of compensation
For every ache for those who make
the best of the situation.
There are quiet nooks for lovers of
books,
With Nature in happy union,
There are cool retreats from the noon
tide heats,
Where souls may have sweet com
munion;
And if there’s a spot where the sun
shines not
Theje’s always a lamp to light it.
And if there’s a w'rong we know ere
long
That Heaven above w'ill right it.
:Ss it’s not for us to make a fuss
Because of life’s sad mischances,
Nor to wear ourselves out to bring
about
A change in our circumstances.
For this world’s a pretty good sort of
world,
And he to whom we are debtor
Appoints the place, and supplies the
grace
To help to make us better.
—Tid Bits.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
No exhibition of bad manners is more
shocking than ill tempfer directed at an
old person who has failed to understand
what was said to him. It is peculiarly
a family failing—we do not permit our
selves to be so ill-bred to strangers—
and it is by no means confined to the
young. Grown-up members of the
family are prone to the fault in talking
with their parents. Often the trouble
with father and mother is not that
they are hard of hearing, but only that
they are old. In age the mind, like
the body, loses something of its elastici
ty and suppleness, although it may
retain its vigor. Talk slowly and
clearly to the old. Give them time for
the words to sink in. There is no need
to raise your voice in a quick, high
keyed repetition.—Exchange.

A Letter From
Plow Handles
The farmers are busy laying by
with a full intention of putting
an extra furrow in the middle la
ter on, but I give it as my exper
ience that when a farmer quits
and puts on a clean shirt, goes
to his fish basket, and to town a
time or two, his crop is layed by.
So if you have any grass kill it
before you quit, if you wait to do
it later it will be there when the
screech owls hollow in the fall
and the hunters horn is heard on
the hill. So don’t stop until you
finish and then lay the rusty
bladed hoe to rest.
We are now having a protract
ed meeting at Pleasant Grove and
Brother Heart Graves, of Texas,
is doing the preaching assisted
by Brother Harper, the pastor.
Much interest is being manifest
ed.
Crops are looking fine in these
parts of the moral vineyard and
we are still hopeful of making
an average crop yet.
We received a letter a few days
ago from our old friend and phy
sician, Dr. A. H. Lillard, of Mon
ticello, Mo., who formerly prac
ticed in Jackson and Butts coun
ty, stating that he would spend
the months of August and Sep
tember in Jackson. His many
friends here will welcome him
during his stay in the county,'
