LITTLE CITIZEN.
NV FRANK q. rIcKNop


Out of the focal and foremost fire,
Out of the hospitals walls as dire
Smitten of grapeshot and gangrene,
Spectrei such as you seldom see,
Little Giffen of Tennessee!
'sTake him and welcome Z" the surgeon said:
Little the doctor can help the dead
So we took him and brought him where
The balm was sweet i'll the summer air;
And we laid him down on a wholesome bed;
Utter Lazarus, heel to head!
And we watched the war with bated breath
Skeleton Boy against skeleton Death.
Months of torture, how many such
Weary weeks of the stick and crutch
And still a CLINT of the steel-blue eye
Told of spirit that wouldn't die.
And didn't. Nay more in death despite
The crippled Learned to write"
Dear Mother, at first, of course and then
Dear Captain, inquiring about the men.
Captain answer: OF eighty-and five,
Giffen and are left alive.
Words of gloom from the war, one day;
johnson pressed at the front, they say.
Little Giffen was up and away;
A tear-his tirst-as he babe goOd-by
Dimmed the CLINT of his steel-blue eye.
''Ill write, If spared" There was news
OF the fight;
/ someties fancy that were 1 king
OF the princely knights of the Golden King,
With the song of the minstrel in my ear,
And the tender legend that trembled here,
I'D give the best on his Bonded knee,
The whitest soul OF my chivalry,
For Little Giffen of Tenne. see.

ALL the coffee grown in the new
world has sprung from single plant,
which French naval officer carried
to Martinique in 1920, depriving
himself of water when parching
with thirst in order to nourish his
cOffee-plant. From this one tree, it
is said all the American tropical col
onies obtained their seed, which,
has multiplied to such an extent
that Brazil, Mexico and the West
Indies produce as much coffee as
Java and Ceylon.

Persistence Reward.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Even Mr.. Hendricks has declined
to be a candidate for President.
This shows the value of persistence
in a people. Mr.. Hendricks was
first mentioned in 1860, and at each
of the five succeeding elections he
has been resolutely put forward by
himself and coached by admiring
friends. His record is only surpas
sed by that OF Henry Clay, who was
seven times a candidate for the
presidency in one form or another.

A gentleman from Cleveland,
Ohio, recently purchased 10000
acres of land In NOXuble county,
Miss, and is settling colonies of
Northern farmers on the same. He
passed through Jackson a month
ago with some tweny or thirty
families and will bring a larger
number in the fall. This beginning
will grow and the wealth and pOpu-
lation of Mississippi be materially
increased. If the conventions sug-
gested by us last week are held there
will speedily follow similar results
in Tennessee. All that is necessary
is to let Tennessee be known, and
for our land owners to act with fore
sight and common sense.-JackSOR

Deaths IN the United States

According TO the last census, 759,
1913 persons died in the United Stat
es during 1880, The death rate for
the whole Union was, therefore, Is. |
to the 1000. This is low rate, and
yet it was much higher than that
given in 1870, which was only 1928
per 900, while the death rate, ac-
cording to the census of 1860, was

AS per appointment at the July
term of the Supervisors Court, the
several members OF the Board visited
the County Poor House on Monday,
the 10th. We found that Institution
in as good condition and conducted
as well as possible for the amount
of remuneration received by the
Keeper, and in better condition than
we expected after hearing various
and sundry complaints. The build
ings, however, are not suitable. They
are too small and evidently were not
erected with n view to that ventila-
ton SO essential where disease and
poverty exist. At the next term the
Board will take steps for improv,

change the system of keeping the
paupers, and certainly provide fol-
the erection of new buildings. Al

they have received a sufficiency oil

Gen. Cllalmcrs' Speech

Jackson Clarion.
Seeing several gentlemen of the quill
taking notes of Gen. Chalmers harangue
in the Capitol, refreshed our recollection
of an occurrence in Tennessee 'in slave.
ry times" There was a clergyman whom
we may call Mr.. Cogswell, who had an
old and favorite servant, by the name OF
Cuffee. This Cuffee on the Sabbath,
might have been seen in the gallery,
looking round with grand air, and SC
far as appearance indicated, proftine
quite as much by his masters preaching
as many others about him.
Cuffee noticed, one Sunday morning,
that several gentlemen were taking notes
of the sermon; and he determined to dc
the same thing So he brought sheet
OF paper and pen and ink, and took notes
too.
When the minister returned home, he
sent for Cuffee to come into his study.

you doing in meeting to day?'
"Doing, Massu? Tekin' notes
"You taking notes!" exclaimed the
master.
"Sartin, Mass; all the gentlemens
tekes notes."
"Well, let me see them" said Mr..
Cogswell.
Cuffee thereupon produced his sheet Of
paper, and his master found it scrawled
all over with all sorts of marks and lines,
as though dozen of spiders, dipped in
ink, had marched over it.

minister, as he looked Mt the "notes."

THE roll of Monroe Fire Company

The roll of Monroe Fire Company
is not as lengthy as it should be and
1t Is little strange that this state of
affairs should exist. There is quite
number of business firms right here
on Commerce street-to say nothing
of many who are not engaged in
merchandising-o ontaining from two
to eight or ten men, proprietors and
employees, who have no representa-
tive in the Fire Department. 1t is
all well enough to talk about willing
ness to work faithfully when the
emergency of a conhagration pre-
sents itself, but then you are not at
all prepared to aid the fremen on
those occasions, owing to lack of
familiarity with the engine, hose, etc,
and one creates more confusion than
his services are worth. There are
ten or twelve members who are al
ways at the drills and meetings and
they will be observed rs ''worlling
members" in whatever organization
they may be attached to, but it is
hardly to be expected that the heavy
work should devolve upon a few.
3his is noticed and remarked by the
firemen who have reason for com
plant. How would those parties
feel who take no part nor interest in
the Department if their houses should
take fire and the fremen stand aloof
and view the flames in all their
grandeur ? No such sentiment pre-
walls among them, however, but then
there is ga heap of human natur' in
man." and it will crop out sometimes,
even under the most strict discipline
and the very best of regulations.
