Ode For the Fourth OF July, 1914.
By William Cullen Bryant in the Hampshire
Gazette, July 6, 1914.


Gazette, July 8, 1914.
Amidst the storms that shake the land,
The din of party fray,
And woes Of guilty war, we meet
To hymn this sacred day,
For all that breathes of ancient worth
Our lingering hope reveres;
Each print of freedoms sacred steps,
Each trace of happier years.
Our skies have glowed with burning towns
Our SHOWS have blushed with gore,
And fresh IS many a nameless grave,
BY Erie's weeping shore.
In sadness let the anthem how,-
But tell the men of strife,
On their own heads shall rest the guilt
Of all this waste Oflife.
But raise, to swell the general song,
Our notes of hottest sound;
And bless the hands which rent the chain
The struggling world that bound.
Lo! Europe wakes the sleep of death
Her pristine glories warm!
The soul of ancient freedom comes
And fills her mighty form!
Well have ye fought, We friends OF man,
Well was your valOr shown:
The grateful nations breathe from war;
The tyrant lies o'erthrown
Well might yc tempt the dangerous fray,
Well dare the desperate deed;
Ye knew how just your cause-Ye knew
The voice that bade We bleed.
10 thee the mighty plan we owe
To bid the world be free;
The thanks of nations, Queen of Isles!
Are poured to heaven and thee.
Yes !-hadst not thou, with fearless arm,
hn
These strains, that chant nations birth,
Had haply hymned it's dirge.
But where was raised oar cou,atyy's hand
Amidst that dreadful strife?
Where was her voice when hopes grew faint
And freedom fought for life?
Oh! bitter are the tears we shed,
Columbia! DER thy shame
A stain the deluge could not cleanse
Forever blots thy fame.
Nor to avenge anation's wrongs
Does power demand our aid;
The sword is bared-but angry Heaven
Frowns on the accused blade.
The men who snatched it from the sheath
A fearful curse Withstands;
The blood of innocent is red
Upon their guilty hands.
Still, to defend our country's shores,
We hasten to the field;
And should the foe invade-our ranks
May fall, but never yield.
The day that sees the victory theirs,
Shall look on many grave;
Our veteran fathers taught their sons
To guard the soil they gave.
Come to thine ancient haunts, and bring
Thy train Of happy years, .s
Oh, PEACE! the sunshine of thy smile
Shall dry nations tears!
From hill, and plain, and oceans verge,
While with the unwonted sail,
Shall burst boundless shout of ioy,
Thy rain renewed. to hail!

my return from the '' late lamented"
GreeneviIIe Convention, and informed
your readers of the methods resOrted to
by few stiff necked lawyers to slaugh-
ter Judge Mckinney in the Convention,
but have been too busy attending to my
moonshine friends to do so. Before this
could be published, every intelligent
voter in the first Judicial Circuit will
have heard that Hon. John A. McKin.

vention than all other aspirants com
bined, and that he would have been
nominated by over two-thirds MAZE rity,
had it not been for a pair of legal gen.
tlemen, holding proxies, instructed to
vote for Mckinney as second choice,
after complimentary support of their
county men but they persistently re-
fused to obey the Instructions, tOritten
on the 1rories, and thereby defeated any
nomination. Although any further bus

JOTTXNGs FROM MOssY oREEK.
Messy CREEK. NAY 81.

Messy OREEKt MAY ~.
10 the Editor of tbs MOrristown GAzstte:
About the only thing in which we of
Messy Greek are interested-and even
the great Eastern question sinks into in
significance before the slI-absorbing
query, " When does your school close ?"
All our young people are in delight
full state of excitement, and visions OF
boquets, notes on scented paper, and a
hundred other pleasures forbidden for
ten months, float before their mental
vision.
The Baptist College will have grand
commencement, as is always the case
with that fourishing institution while
the Branner Institute will not be one
whit behind in its display of culture and
scholarship. The latter school closes,
or has its commencement" seemingly
contradictory terms, on the 18th of June.
Like your correspondent Bric-a- Brsc,"
we have often wondered why the c'Ose of
schools should be called '' commence
ment, !" unless it be that it is supposed to
be the real commencement of life's
struggle by the eager young student
There is, however, a second and distinct
definition of the word that may settle
this question-that is: "a day set apart
for comforting degrees, &C., in colleges"
We are sorry to state that the cry of
''hard times" has been in no measure
lessened since the so-called dollar of
our fathers" came into circulation. Some
how the precious "dollar" don't seem
to "circulater' Our merchants COM
plain that the spring trade has never
been so poor. and the purchasers COM
plain that they have never had Sc little
to purchase with. However, this is al
ways a dull season with the farmers, as
none of their products are yet ready for
market, and we trust, after harvest, we
will see shortening of their elongated
countenances. A few weeks ago the
country was resounding with jeremiads
ON account of the wheat crop, but the
prospects IN our neighborhood are now
very much brighter, and it is predicted
that we will have a moderately good
yield, the creakers to the contrary not
withstanding. In this neighb0rhood,
when sOheat fails, our pulses beat low, for
upon this crop the people mainly depend
for their agricultural profits.
On Saturday last, we had quite a
pleasant picnic by the Union of the Meth
odist and Presbyterian Sunday Schools.
1t was held in the Grove near the former
residence of Mr.. Joseph Branner, at
present occupied by Mr.. Gilmer. After
dInner-the grand event of the day
the large crowd repaired to the commo-
diOuS lot adjacent to the Zinc works, to
witness game of base ball to be played
by the ad-Naughts'' and Maple
Leaf" the two clubs composed of the
elite among our young men. In their
gay and tasteful uniforms they presented
pleasing appearance and their skillful
playing was witnessed with enthusiasm
by the large crowd of spectators. Not
being well posted in Base Ball lore, We
cannot give you the score lis that it !?
but when the game is concluded, We
know by the tossing of hats among the
Dread Naughts," or their opponents
who are the winners.
Being pressed for time and-ideas, We
will say, ENOUGH.

THE JUDUCLAL CON YENTION


which was held at Nashville on the Goth
inst. was doubtless the largest assem-
blage of the kind which has ever met in
this State. Delegates, representing all
parts parts of the State, frem Sullivan
10 Shelby, were there, and we venture
the assertion that none of Tennessee's
sisters can assemble like body compos
ed of finer or more intellectual looking
men. The finest talent of the State was
present in fierce, and no higher encom-
ium is needed by the nominees than the
fact that they were the selection of such
q body of men, and chosen from the il
lustrious and able group whose names
were before the Convention. Special
praise is due the Hon. E. T. Talliaferro,
late Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, for the manner in which he pre-
sided over its deliberations. Large and
excited as the assemblage was, few
men could haYe kept better order, and
no one could have discharged his duties
more ably, promptly and fearlessly than
he.
And now, before leaving the subject,
we, of East Tennessee, desire sincerely
to thank our friends from the Middle
and Western divisions for the hearty,
steadfast and determined support given
by them to the two candidates from our
division. Now, that the thing is over,
we frankly confess had it net been fol-
Ia nd
could not have gotten both our men
through. Thank you, friends, once
again, and should an opportunity pre-
sent itself where we can repay the favor
as creditably 10 the interests of the peo
pie of all sections, command US.
