BLOW gently, winds of June Each downy
nest
Is full of unsung songs and unspread
wings
That will respond to patient coverings ::
Soft rocking snits the rustic cradles best,
here
That soon will be transformed into the
The sweetest miracle that nature knows :.
breath might mar the beauty of the year
SO easily the song drops out Of tune.
80 eagerly the sun absorbs the dews,
50 quickly does the rose its petals lose,
That, for their sakes, blow gently, winds

Mary A. Mason, IN ST. Nicholas.
BE true to yourself, however false
Others may be to you.
Life is hardly worth living as long
as there is no law to prevent a man
from asking you at every turn: us
it hot enough for you:'' or to choke off
the fellow who persists in telling you
how to cure that cold.
Every person who has farm or
garden, should SOW plenty turnip seed.
1t is splendid crop to raise. There
is nothing better both for table use
| and to feed stock on. NJ. Dorsey has
a full supply of fresh seed just in.
DR.. J. H. Tucker is rusticating at
Virginia Beach. He has improved
very much having gained several pounds
| i'll flesh since he has been down there.
The doctor had been confined to his
room quite sick a couple of weeks pre-
! vious to going to the seaside. He told
us Wednesday he would probably be
home Saturday.
1t is almost certain that provisions
of all kinds will be high for the next
| few years. This means much pros
perity to the farmer who has to sell,
| but ruin to the one who has to buy. 1t
is therefore more important than ever,
if possible, that farmers make their
own meat and bread. Ga

An exchange gives the following
timely advice which is worth acting
upon:
Don't fail to say a good word for
your town when ever opportunity pre-
sents itself, and above all, don't forget
to do good deed to advance its mate
rial interests. Words are good, but
actions are better. In booms as every.
thing else, actions speak louder than
words, and bring larger rewards.
There is another new made grave
in the cemetery and sorrow has come
into the hearts of loving parents in
another home in Henderson. After
a brief illness Quincy Barnes, infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Southall died
at / o'clock last Saturday, aged
months. The funeral took place from
the residence at $3.50 O'Clock Sunday

second little one that has been taken
from them.

ing the secret, but now that they know
it, we hardly think that they will soon
forget it. What cooperation has done
it can do again. This is the point we
desire to impress. Let the benefits
which have resulted from united effort
in the instances noted above incite us
to exercise that wholesome virtue in
other lines.
