thur HUFF, had fall Tuesday evening
and fractured his right arm between
the elbow and shoulder. A surgeon
was summoned, set the broken MEM
Der. and the boy is now getting along
fairly we'll. Little Mayfield seems to
be in hard luck; year and more ago

From a recent issue of the Midland
Monthly: "Col. Jonn w. Emerson's
history of Grants Vicksburg Campaign
is deserving of much more than pass
ing notice, and is the only work of the
kind which has ever received the un-
qualified Endorsement of the sons of
this wonderful general. Col. Emerson
is eminently fitted for this great work,
because of his association with Grant
during the civil war, and the exhaus-
tive study which he has made of the
subject since"
Spring over mountain and wildwood,
Spring over valley and plain;
Kissed by the passionate sunbeams,
Fondled and coaxed by the rain,
Rise the bright blossoms again.
Birds singing high in the naples,
Birds singing clear on the wing,
Music that wakens the echoes,
Light as the zephyrs that bring
Sweets from the heart of the spring.
Days full of frolic and laughter,
Labor and hope ond good cheer;
Full of the faith that is ever
True when the seed-time is here;
Spring, bonny bride of the year.
