EVERLASTING NOW.


Everlasting Now,
How beautiful art thout
Through the ferny greenwood dells.
I When the oaks were golden,
Hyacinths rang their bonny bells,
Atune of music olden;
Sorrow and care had swept away
That melody so light and gay;
Why did It wake once more that day7
I do not know. But or ce again
Thoughts long dead ind buried,
s~hooktheir wings, a sunny train,
And DER my spirit wearied
Poured q fresh and childish song,
One I had fogotton long,
Nay, not one, a flock, a throng.
Everlasting Now,
How wonderful art thoui
In a dingy, noisy street,
A pure white lilac growing,
showered down odors to my feet,
And mingled with their flowing,
Sounds and sights of long ago,
Roses which have ceased to blow,
Winters OF forgotten snow.
Stranger faces passing by
Saw 1 them no longer,
Visions Of the inner eye
Ever are the stronger;
Came a face quite close to me,
One I here no longer see,
Smiled, and vanished suddenly.
Everlasting Now,
How terrible art thou!
Wandering by the rivers side,
When the sun was setting,
Whispers came from far and wide,
"There is no forgetting,
Past is present, Now is vast,
What is future will be past,
All will be but Now at last"
Then there shot a keen regret
For q harsh word spoken,
Glistening still with tear-drops wet,
Loves fair flower broken,
Years long past had seer, hat wrong,
Out VI DlttoT tnouRnIS tnrOnS
Sprang to life all fresh and strong.
Everlasting Now,
How bitter-sweet art thoui
Soul who new can forget,
Thou must live foreverl
Eyes! with tears of penance wet,
Ye must wake foreverl
Canst thou face the Eternal Now2
Or, a mortal things laid low,
Dost thou rav an end? Not sol
Thou who wakest memory's ear,
By such subtle blending
OF the present and the near,
With the life unending,
Tune US to that perfect key,
Giving life its unity,
Life, which hides itself In theet

While Machen was inducing the
Populists of Grant parish, at FAIR

of Popuhsts who he had promised
to address on Saturday, before the

He disappointed that crowd at a

Mississippi POpuIisis.

The Times-Democrat of Aug.
1st, deyotes over two columns tC
an account Of the State nominating
convention of the Mississippi Pop
ulists, which held at Jackson, the
Capital, on July 31st, and was
largely attended, harmonious and
enthusiastic.
The Omaha platform was in
dorscd and a strong platform on
State issues of vital interest to
Mississippians was adopted.
The ticket gives entire satisfac-
ton to the party in that State, and
is conceded by all to be strong
one, the men composing being
prominent in the politics of the
State, consistent reformers, and an
honor to the cause they represent.
The ticket is as follows:
For Governor, Capt. Frank
Burkitt, of Chickasaw Lieut.. Gov
ernor, S. w. Robinson, of Ran
kin; Secretary of State, r. r.
Bunting, of Tallahatchic ; Attor-
ney General, John j. Dennis, of

of Sunfower; Treasurer, G. w.
Bolton, of Pontotock Superin-
tendent of Education, A. Trotter,
of Clarke; Railroad Com, First
Dist, G. w. Dwyer, of Pamela ;
Second Dist, N. NJ. Hollingsworth,
of Kinds; Third Dist, L. N.
Jackson, of Amitc; Land Conn.,,
N. G. West, Jr., of Carroll !;
State Revenue Agent, r. Z. L.
Mitchell, of Alcorn Clerk of the
Supreme Court, l.. r. Collins, of
Jones.
Capt. Burkitt accepted the NOM
ination in a lengthy speech, in
which he arraigncd the Democrat
ic party for malfeasance and mis-
feasance in Office, and outlined the
policy of Populist administration.
The Populists have a splendid
fighting chance in that State, are
we'll organized, and are putting up
q good fight.

According to previous announce
ment, July 26th will be day long
remembered by the people of
Smyrna ncighborhOOd and. sur
rounding country, it being the day
advertised for a public speaking
and a big barbecue.
The Populists was somewhat dis
appointed on account of the speak
crs not being present that had been
invited from other parishes, how
ever, we made it u success, for our
home talent was present, and we
made use of it according to the
programme. L. j. Guice called
the assemblagc to order, and called
G.. M. Norris to the chair.
AT eleven o'clock speaking be-
gan, and for two hours the audi
ence were addressed by these well
known home speakers. At l
O'Clock dinner was announced.
The good ladies' spread the dinner
and all did eat until it seemed as
if hunger would come no more.
After dinner was over it was an
nounced that the Parish Executive
Committee would have meeting
as there was some business to be
attended to. As a great many lived
a good distance away they began
to 60 away and by five O'Clock
everybody was on their way to
their homes, or to tho home of
some friend, seeming to say as
they went away, long live the peo-
pie of Smyrna, which brought to
our minds the following words of
LongfellOw:
Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time.
Long live the Comrade.

Ed. Louisiana POpulIst:
Dear Sir and Bro.-I see pub
lished the proceedings Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Grant parish.
l must confess that | was much
hurt and surprised to read such
resolutions as was passed by that
meeting, denouncing you in the
bitterest terms for your acts in adj
vocating the silver party, just as
If you was the father of it all, and
further denouncing all other Pop
ulists who did not at once get out,
as traitors to the Populist party.
Let me state TO you again, that it
hurt me to see such men as A. w.
Stewards name signed to such res
olutions.
/ have been lying still, having
but little to say about the silver
question, while l was in favor of
it, ] feel sure that the Democrats
would hack down just as they are
doing, but when / see such resolu-
tions as the resolution passed at
the Fairfield meeting, denOuncing
the best men in our party and call
ing them traitors to the party, l
can't stand any such charges made
and headed by such men as NJ. F.
Machen. Brothers and friends,
let me call your attention to a few
plain facts: First is not Winn par
ish considered the banner parish
of the Peoples party of the State
of Louisiana, then if this is the
case, who were the boys who had
the courage of their convictions,
and took the front and fought your
battles. Where did Hon. H. l..
Brian, B. w. Bailey and j. H.
Crawford, stand at the Lafayette
combine yes, they stood on the
side of the people whom they repre-
sented, and if therc ever was a
time to try mems souls, 1 must say
that that was one of the times.
These men came home and took
the field amid all The opposition,
and have kept their parish warned
of all the dangers that might be-
fall it. Now my friends, be care
fuEwhen you think of denouncing
such men as you IN these resolu-
tons in the Demands denounce
These are awful hard charges
made against our best men, because
they do not see just like Stewart
and Machen. Let me ask you
where was Mr.. A. w. Stewart, and
where did he stand at the Lafay-
cite Combine Was not he on the
side of the combine . Where was
M. F. Machen Was not he on
the side OF M. j. Foster, and we
had him to- fight I ! ask you gem
tlemen, before you pass sentence
on these men who have been advo-
eating the silver move, to give
them an equsl show before the
public, and If they are not able
to meet the argument of such men
rs Machen, Stewart and others
who oppose it, then let the people
pass the sentence on them, as we'll
is myself.
