Our union is growing at a rapid rate; very few farmers refuse to join, and it is our hope to have fully sixty per cent of the white men of these two districts In the order before twelve months. Business Manager Eubanks was with us in our meeting and gave us an instructive talk. The Rambler hopes that every mem ber will bring a new member to ev ery meeting until we get in everybody who is entitled to join us.

Wat son’s editorial on “The New ear.” in January number “The Jefferso nian Magazine.”) Lead us gently, Father Time, We are wearied, sick and sore; Full ofttimes thou hast scoprged us, Yet we love thee evermore. Lead us gently, Father Time, We have striven hard and true; If we failed we ask forgiveness Os that One who guideth you. Therp are loved ones looking to us Whose lives are precious in our sight; Give us wisdom how to guide them In the paths of truth and right. There are friends who yet may trust us, May we still to them be true; There are wrongs that we might alter Had we time and strength to do. Though our enemies harass us, Yet we pause not in the fight, For our work is for the masses, And we feel that we are right. Lend us gently, Father Time, Thou art mighty and we are weak; Yet we plead for one more trial Ere thou dost accounting seek. Lead us gently, Father Time, When thou calledst we must come. Wilt thou, then, lead us gently, To our everlasting home? —Charles E. Reid. Ozark, Mo.

Bryan as hon orary members, it is the plan of the club to buy 2'0,0100 acres of mountain land in Eastern Tennessee for a game and fishing preserve, and to build a fine clubhouse, where all of the above named persons and other statesmen are expected to lounge around from time to time *ULd talk over their politi cal differences as friends. The money necessary to carry out the scheme is said to be in sight, and that is all. Municipal authorities of Barmen, Prussia, have been requested to adver tise for a dentist who is willing to attend an elephant, an inmate of a lo cal zoo. He suffers from peevishness in consequence of frequent attacks of toothache, caused by overabundance of sweet. At such times he is practically unmanageable. The local dentists re fuse to attempt to fill his teeth. One dentist was brave enough to try to examine an aching tooth, but the en raged elephant chased him around the enclosure, and the dentist afterward sent in a bill for damage caused by the shock.
