Over those hopes, once so blooming and fair
Whose Iris-hued tnts gemmed the path for thy feet
Fling not the dismal clouds of despair
Their brightness is gone, but their memory is sweet
No sunny spring can warm them to life,
No gentle dews restore brightness again;
To them are unknown earths verdure-nOw rife
They are dead to the sunshine and dead the rain
Yet they are DEAR and their fragrance floats back
From the dead past, like cherished refrain
Sung by a dear one who passed from lifes track
Leaving their memory blent with the strain.
Say not those blessed hopes were in vain
They stayed not to gladden. this journey of strife;
Like treasures lent, but taken again
Their mission thou'lt learn in happier life
Better thy life for those visions that threw
Across youths fair sky their radiant sheen
Though fond regrets bring the drops anew.
Better thy hfe-for they left in the soul
LOngings which never slumber again;
High aspirations no fate can control
Earnest endeavOrs that cannot be vain.
He who is Infinite knows why the way
Sketched in lifes morning. thy feet have not trod;
Unite DER the grave of thy lost hopes today
Wise to withhold-unerring is God.
Take up the burden of life with a song
Gather the flowers in earth's rugged way
GLADDEN. the friends who must leave thee ere long
Bear with the night, which will soon fade in day.

Two Men Frozen to Death.

John Gray and Brugman Jarrett. colored, cotton pickers on Phillips county farm. were frozen to death one night recently The men quit work about dark and started home through the rain. Coming to a stream they had to cross to reach their place of abode. they found it greatly swollen and began hunting a place to reach the other side. Night overlook them and they lost the way. They walked all night and, wet to the skin, the blizzard came upon them. Gray gave out and Jarrett packed him on his back for an hour Finally he had to leave his companion to his fate. Early In the morning, his cries were heard and rescuers came to his aid. They found the stiff body of Gray in hol- low log, into which he had crawled head foremost while Jarrett was scarcely any better off and died soon afterwards.

Three Wounded.

Three men were woundDl in a shooting affray at Parkdale. It seems that Frank Barnes was little bois. terous on the streets and Deputy Sher- Iii Atkins was asked to arrest him. G. r. George volunteered to assist At kins in the arrest Atkins procured shotgun from one of the stores, pro- ceeded down the street to await the coming of Barnes. As Barnes was passing up the street George caught his horse by the bridle and pulled a revolver when both began firing George emptied his revolver missing every shot. Barnes only having three loads, fired at George twice one but let taking effect in his leg. Then see ing that Atkins was about to shoot with shotgun he fired at him and At klns fell to the ground. his gun being discharged in the air without damage After empting the gun at George and Atkins. he threw his empty gun at George. George also threw his emp ty gun at Barnes. Robert Norwood a relative of George, then carried an other shotgun to Atkins and he fired at Barnes. the load taking effect in his shoulder. Barnes having no more ammunition. had wheeled his horse to get out of the way and was shot in the back
