Masks.

Oh, could we each others hearts but see,
There would more love and kindness be.
If the ills and woes of life did show,
More pure and blessed love would grow.
Allowances for seeming faults there'd be,
And lives made sweeter by charity.
To hide our hearts, Gas well as we may),
We must weep by night and smile by day.
To conceal our love, we are often prone,
For fear that ''no returns" will be shown.
Thus, pure hearts go longing all the day
For blessings, that seem so far away.
Oh! if LIES masks could be cast aside,
And to noble hearts our true nature con-
fide,
More love there would be, and fewer
doubts
More thoughtful kindness meted out.
Yes, if the world but only knew
The brave, sad hearts, 90 tried, 90 true,
Then, the world would change, and
sweeter grow,
Because nobls hearts would make it 80.

TO the Voters Of the Third Rail-
road Commission District:

In announcing myself canidate for
reelection as Railroad Commissioner,
do so, subject to nomination by the
Democratic party.
In presenting my claims for re-elec-
ton, permit me to say that am a planter,
raising cotton and hay for shipmint to
market, consequently, am by nature,
by training and by financial interest,
thorough in sympathy with the producer
and communicable one who, in the end,
pays all the freight and other expenses
and who needs protection more than any
mission can be made the most important
Office in the State.
During the year and half that have
held the Office, it has been my aim (and
it shall be my aim as long as hold it)
to guard closely the interest: (i of the
farmers and producers; ~ Of the towns
in my district; (3) to deal out even
handed justice to the carriers that come
within our Jurisdiction.
This, feel that have done faithful
ly and efficiently.
Again, as the Commission is hardly
more than we'll organized and under way
with its wrok, feel that the experience
gained up to this time will be valuable to
me in the fuller and more efficient dis
charge of its duties in the future.
Having drawn the short term Of two
years, l believe that you will agree with
me that it would be nothing more than
common justice that / be returned and
given an opportunity to utilize the ex-
perience gained, and help carry into eff
4ock tho refnrna which I have afa1dief1
and helped to map out.
With this brief explanation, respect
fully solicit the vote and support OF each
and every voter in the district.
Very respectfully,
