Doxology, and the college songs
are to take its place. Perhaps
something like this would prove
an acceptable substitute:
"Praise John from whom all dol
lars come
To make our Alma Mater hum!
Praise Rock efeller's mammoth
spoil,
Praise boundless greed and Stan
dard Oil"

Four Thousand Orphans.

Editor JIMPLEcUTE: Unless you
were connected with the origin of
your venerable paper-and would
not intimate that you are so old az
that, | have known it longer than
yourself, possibly;for l have known
it from its fret number. l knew
Jefferson when in the infancy of
her glory, as a great business cen.
ter, and wish that we may both
live to see her greater city in her
age than she was in her vigorous
youth. But this has nothing to do
with four thousand orphans. tell
you, though, what is true; from the
origin of Buckner Orphans Home,
in 1879, some of the citizens Of
Jefferson have been its friends and
quite number of orphans from
that city and the country round
about, have been wards here, and
some now are. Some who were
from there and raised here are now
elsew here, and are intelligent citi-
zens and heads of their, respective,
and respectable families. Thanks
to everybody who has ever aided
in this great work, The way is
still open; who viii enter in2 l
don't mean what orphans will yet
Gomez but others are welcome and
there is good room for more.
| appeal to that great section of
Texas where they grow yellow
yams, and ribbon cane, great pines
and saw mile; immense orchards
and Vegetable farms; rich ores and
fine cotton; great statesmen, and
business men; good Samaritans,
and noble Christian women; to the
citizens of East Texas for much
help. These orphans are from all
tarts of the country and from all
religious denominations and the
ranks of unbelievers, alike. The
latest official reports and all infor.
nation desired will he sent to all
enquiring friends; likewise thanks
and receipts for all contributions.
But the preacher forgets his sub.
ject and wandered from his text.
1 forgot to tell you why 1 headed
this with -Four Thousand Or
phans.'' 1t was because this in
stitution has had the care of even
more than four thousand depend
ents since it was first opened. 1t
now has a family of 4SS, and good,
comfortable, well ventilated. I'M
crowded room for more. Its wards
occupy four large buildings, 3 to 4
stories high, and two of them solid
brick walls, each 40 by 1870 feet;
and all are on separate grounds
The lowest average cost. per day,
for feeding the great family in The
several departments, is $66. OO,-in
fact it is more than that, now that
there are 4SS, against $50 some
months ago; and this calculation is
made on the basis of 5cts, per meal
for each.
Now, brother JIMPLEoUTE, l
close with my congratulations for
the season and requesting that you
give my love to Jefferson and all
the regions round about Jordan.

The Man with the Smile.


We love the man with the roses
on his tongue, the man who sees
the boys dity face, but mentions
his bright eyes, who notices your
shabby coat, but praises your stu
dious habits; the man who sees all
the faults, but whose tongue is
quick to praise and slow to blame.
We like to meet man whose
smile will light up dreariness,
whose voice is full of music. whose
handshake is an inspiration, and
his God blees you" benediction.
He makes us forget our trouble as
the ravens dismal cloak is forgot
ten when the wood thrush sings
God bless the man of cheer. There
is plen ty of trouble here, but we
need not increase 1t. There is a
lot of dying done ahead of time. -
