In Memory of Mother

Obituary Of Mrs. A. B. Rag
land who died March II 1901,
Our Mothers gone? She bid farewell
To earthly toll and care
She'll now inheavenly mansions dwell,
And live forever there.
Through lifetime she has ever had
A fondparental love. She made home
Happy and hearts glad,
But now has gone above.
God bless our sorrow stricken home:
God bless the Father boys and girls,
And may they reach thatheavenly dome,
To shine as mothers pearls.
4 bright reunion is our hope:
Our fsmily'll al unite.
Where we shall have broader scope,
Beyond the reach of nigth.
Farewell to earthly storm and blast:
Farewell to vanity.
Well all be gathered home at last
In bright eternity

Only A Baby.

Something to live for come to
the place,
Something to die for, maybe
Something to give even sorrow
a grace
And yet it was only baby!
Cooling an laughter and gurgles
and cries,
Dimples for tenderest kisses;
Chaos of hopes and of raptures
and signs,
Chaos of fears and of blisses.
Last year, like all years, the
rose and the thorn;
This year, a Wilderness
maybe;
But heaven stopped under the
roof on the morn
That it brought there only a
baby.

Motherhood.

Monroe City has 2054 popu-

is about so more than U. S.

little city. Of this number
there are 80 old maids and 40
