TONIGHT

Swiftly walk over the western wave,
Spirit of night!
Out Of the misty eastern cave,
Where all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams Of joy and fear,
Which make thee terrible and dear, r.
Swift be thy flight!
Wrap thy form in a mantle grey,
Star inwrOught.
Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day,
Kiss her until she be weaTied out,
Touching all with thine opiate wand
Come, long sought.
When / arose and saw the dawn,
l sighed for thee;
When light rode high, and the dew was gone,
And noon lay heavy ON flower and tree
AND the weary day turned to his rest,
Lingering like an unloved guest,

Soon, too soon

An unknown poet gets into a Maud
Muller parody as follows Jack
Muller on a summers day raked
the meadow sweet with hay. The
mule with which he raked the hay
was muckle dun with spots Of gray.
Jacks shirt was hickory and his
pants were brown, with a patch on
the part where he sit down. Jack
cussed in way it was hard to see
when the mule went haw when Jack
said gee. A humble bees home in
the stuble lay, where Jack and the
mule raked clover hay. A rake
tooth ran trough the humble home
and the bees came out and began
to roam in search of that man on
that summer day, who raked the
meadow of clover hay The bees
swarmed inside OF Jacks shirt and
quickened the mule to lively
squirt. 1t was tough on the mule
and worse on Jack and worser still
on the sulky rake, for the mule
turned loose in promiscuous way
and scattered the rake all over the
| hay.-EX.

Senator Berry is all right. Sat
urday, in a speech on the Near
aqua canal, he announced prelini-
narily that on general principles be
was favorable to the construction
of canal across the isthmus and
that he had been so for many years
because he had felt that such an
enterprise would promote the inter-
ests of the southern states, but al
ways contended for its construction
by the United States. He had been
hopeful on this account that 1t
might be possible to eliminate the
Maritime Company from the ques-
tion entirely. Hehad voted against
granting that company a charter in
1887. Still, said he, Mr.. Morgan
insists that this accomplishment is
out of the question at present. If
the work of constructing the canal
should proceed under the name OF
the Maritime Company or 'be sus-
pended entirely. In this connec-
tion he also took into consideration
the additional fact that another
company had secured a concession
from Nicaragua to take effect i'm
mediately upon the expiration OF
the Maritime Company's grant
hence it seemed difficult to get away
from corporation interests, but he
hoped before the final vote all corr
porate interests would be elimina
ted and in view of this fact he haC
considered it desirable, if not in
cumbent, upon the senate to MAKE
the pending bill as perfect as i
could be made and it was to thi
end that his amendments had beel
introduced.

ALL GOING HOME.
Train LOadss Of People Passing by
this City Daily.

Since yesterday afternoon, there
has passed through this city fifteen
or twenty loads of people going
back to the old states-Georgia,
Alabama and Virginia, over roads
entering and diyerging from this
city.
This has become an annual Gus
tom and the railroads now find it
almost impossible to accommodate
the number applying for passage.
The roads will have other trains to
follow those mentioned above, and
will take three days and many
sections of trains to accommodate
those wishing to return on a visit
to their dear old homes they lett in
years gone by.
These people will all return and
they will induce many to sell out
the old worn out farm and return
west with them, and by this means
Texas and Arkansas will be peopled
with many new corners in the
twelve months to follow.
We say, long may the custom OF
running cheap excursionss to the
old states remain in vogue for it is
the best advertising medium this
country could have, to have itI

Mr.. Aston while talking to the
reporter said he thought when the
season opened and the wheels be-
gan to tear the lint from the cot
ton seed, at the National Cotton
Seed Oil cOmpany's plant, for which
he is manager, that he would have
to burn many tons of hulls for want
of a market, but up to this time he
cannot supply the demand. He
says that a market has been Great
ed in Kansas forthe hulls and meal,
and that many orders he received
from the corn fields of Kansas can
not be filed because he can sell
more advantageous nearer home,
So it seems that the much despised
hulls of a few years ago which was
carried to the furnaces to be burn
ed in order to get them out of the
way, has become a staple article
with a good price attached.

Asked Tor what He would Bot Give.

A certain man once said that he
could not go on an Official bond, be-
cause he had an agreement with his
partner that neither would go on
any bond. Both these men after
wards held Office. If other men
had been like themselves, neither
could have given bond. No man
who has ever made any such agree
ment, should ever be elected to
Office, as we could have no officers
If other men we're as selfish. MAR
shall Star.
The Star is right with the con-
dition the law imposes on officers
having to give bond, though many
a good man has been ruined by al
fixing his name to official bonds.
We believe our law should be
amended to make it obligatory on
the part of all officers, who handle
the peoples money, to make thell
bond through companies organized
for this purpose, and then if the
officer should appropriate money
not belonging to him, and could moi
satisfy the company he was bonded
with, he being a stranger to the
company, with no friendship ties
would be prosecuted, while on tn,
other hand, a personal bozdsmal
would get out of paying the bon,
if he could do so honorably, and
not, would pay and think it dis
honorable to go into court to pur
ish the man who caused him tn
trouble.
