Ii on laD0, OF raging sea,
By day, or in blacklist night.
Those hands would calm my passion,
Exercise all mortal pains,
And their electric fashion
Binds me as would steely chains.
/ love those hands-wEIite and pure
As the falling virgin snows--
They have power to allure
My life from the fate of Poe's.
Let those hands remain in NINE
Guides to better, pobler life.
Ny hands, heart and soul are thine
Will you--wILL YOU be my

It has been many long, long
months siDce the youag people of
Poplsrvllle have enjoyed a more
pleasurable entertainment than at
the party given ut the residence Of
Nj. G. Il. Hyde, last Friday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde are model enter.
tainers-ever alert in seeing to the
comfort and enjoyment of their
guests. Ten or twelve couples were
present; the ladies we're all smiles,
and the gentlemen as attentive as
could have been destred. Charley
Wilson and partner, with violin and
guitar, furnished excellent music,
which proved pleasing assistance
IN the playing of such games ~
Charley" "Tucker,' etc. We
hope that like entertain ments will
be given more frequently In future
than has been III the pact, as such
social gatherings will give our
young people an opportunity to
become better acquainted with
eacfi other.
The St. Tammauy (Ls.) Farmer
says:
TN response TO our bill for ada
vertising, We are informed that the
Crescent Candy Co. has suspended
business and IL unable TO pay bills.
It looks very much like this Co.
played . game. At any rate, IL
shows that newspapers bad better
stick to the rule Of cash In advance
for al transient advertising"
We had q similar experience with
this Company, Brother KentzsI; but
we hsve been "taken In" 30 often
by distant advertisers that we have
become accustomed to the sensa-
ton. We felt our disappointment
10 this csse. however, &c, 10 sending
10 bill, We offered to take the
amount ont III candy, wishing to
distribute it among Q few poor
children in this neighborhood.
Pearl River county chancery
court. with Chancellor N. e. Hill
on the bench, convened Friday
morning and adjourned at Z. p. m.
the same day. Considerable BUSH
ness was transacted, bot none of
the cases heard were Of any partic-

We were one among q dozen fors
tuuate guests present at a splendid
turkey dinner given by Mrs. e. a.
Briggs last Sunday. Rev. W. B.
Holcomb occupied the place Of hon.
or, and as We wers seated to his
right, he can vouch to our having
done ample justice to the occasion.
Mrs. Briggs resided in the creole
portion Of Louisiana for . number
Of years, therefore il 10 hardly nee
essary to say that she 10 . caterer
par excellence.
