I do not fondly ask from you
The qualities OF noble heart,
A mind whose thoughts are pure and true
A tongue that speeds no venomed dart,
A temper sweet or gentle mood,
Unselfshness or high endeavor-
do not ask you to "be good,
Sweet maid" or even to be "clever"
do not ask for poets song,
For dreamer's tale, high gifts of mind,
For orators eloquence righting wrong
Gifts all, no doubt, to you assigned;
do not ask for theories new,
Ones powers of comprehension tasking,
For wisdom or for wit from you
(There would not be much use in askingl.
do not ask you for the gift

will be brave and make q shift
To live my life without your love
Not mine to play lovers part,
So, though the omission is distressing,
do not ask you for your heart.
only ask a minor blessing.
do not ask you when We meet
To condescend to notice me,
But when kind fate affords that treat
Pray bear in mind this modest plea:
do not ask you to sit still,
Though in your chair you always wriggle.

MEN who will not give loyal sup
port to the nominee of a Democratic
primary, ought not to have a voice
in the calling of the next Demo-
cratic primary or convention. Who
will deny that? Men who did not
support the last nominee of the
Democratic party, ought not to have
vote in choosing the next nominee
of the Democratic party. Who will
deny that? These are self evident
truths and the County Democratic
Executive Committee at its next
meeting must either take some ac-
ton against its disloyal members, or
by their silence condOne the office.
If they pursue the latter course,
then they in measure justify bolt
ing and popularize it, and the party
organization in this county will be a
thing of the past. Under such loose
methods as these the Democratic
nomination would be more of load
to carry than a benefit; in that it
would virtually bind nobody, while
at the same time it would array
against the nominee all the COM
bined enemies of Democracy. This
danger has been creeping upon us
for years, until it has now reached
the point where, unless something
is done to stop the disintegration,
the Fall election will take Maury
County out of the Democratic col
umn.
