AN ORIGINAL POEM.
elections of the pas

Oft do the recollections of the past,
The sad, sweet precious dream that dimming
fast
Their sorrow bear,
Come gently stealing through the weary years
OF longing and regret, Of doubts and fears,
And fame prayer.
'tHelp us to better understand thy ways.
Help US to live through our remaining days
With more content.
Help us to realize our lowly place,
Obey thy rulings with submissive grace
Till life is SPENT"
Ever we're subject to higher will,
In spite Of all our pride God rules us still,
We are but slaves.
No matter what we are when here below,
Each every path of life to death will go,
We reach our graves.
How insignificant the schemes of mani
How useless is it here below to planI
A work to do.
For when we think we are the most secure;
When youth and health make every thing
seem sure,
Our hours are few.
The end is coming, though we may notknow
That all the life and strength we love to show
Will cease SO soon.
Life and it's purposes may all be DER,
And we be in eternity before
Another moon.

vancement Of Bates county, especial
ly, and the public good in general.
l have been teaching in the public
schools of Ennis, Texas for the past
two years. and am reelected for
the next year. The people here are
very much interested in the cause OF
education. This state has the best
school fund OF all the states in the
United States. Besides the local tax,
we receive yearly, from 81 TO s. per
capita from the state funds.
The crop prospects are good this
year. Wheat made from u TO 10
bushels per acre, oats from 80 TO 80
bushels. These two crops were dam
aged some by heavy rains during
harvest. The corn Is the best there
