From Sunday's Daily. OBSCURITY. There's a song for the man who is lucky and bold. For the man who has fate on his side; There are cheers for the folk that are jingling the gold And are drift ing along with i he tide. But the man who is striving to get to the land And facing the hungry wave’s crest. We quite overlook, for we don’t under stand The fellow that’s doing his best. But he has his reward when the story is done, Though we smile as he plods on his way, For his own self-esteem is the pride he has w in, As obscured he’s stood in the fray, And be knows the affection of home and of frien is And the pleasures of honest-earm d rest. There are peace and good will as the twilight descends. For the fellow that’s doing ins best. Peden Blake, ot Pedenville, epent y< ate: day with relatives and friends in Griffin.
