Like any other human mind, the
Editors is not proof against the
frailty of forgetfulness. Sometimes
we stumble upon accidentally some
very embarrassing reminders of such
traits of a ~treacherous box.
Not long since the good ladies' of
LeakesyiIlc banded together under
the strGng working organization of
the King s Daughters, gave an Oys-
ter Supper for the benefit of the
State Orphanage at Natchez, at
which occasion we present and
us it was a bowling success, planned
then and there a nice write-up, but
alas fo' us, we stored same away too
obscurely in some hidden recess of
the brain, and only by sheer luck
come upon it at all by the suggestion
of a friend. We hope the kind danes
will forget and forgive, as we have
vowed to make amends next time by
a ripping good account.
This week we appear by special
permission an extract from that gem
of poetry, New Years Bells, d pro-
dnction from the facile pen of DR.. A..
b. Clanton, whose fame as a genius
OF rhyme is far reaching in South
Mississippi. While the Old Doctor
has not exactly walked the straight
path OF rectitude, SO far as love of
the cup is concerned, yet none can
deny that he is peculiarly endowed
with a depth of expression and puri-
ty of thought approachable only by
those who are gifted with Godlike
intuition. His flow of idea and Sc
lection of language to clothe them
have rarely, If ever been excelled bu
famous poets for its perfect con-
struction, rapturously enhancing
beauty, burning fire, sublime and
soul-touching pathos. What mind
can solve the mysterious workings
of the Almighty, for surely this gift
placed in tho hands of that Earthly
Tenement is intended to play some
important part in the great drama
of lie herebelow.
We are very sorry but some of our
matter this week was unavoidably
crowded out.
A few dollars passed over our way
by subscribers will help out very
much IN putting The Herald to rights
in q monetary way. Can you spare
us one OF the coins?
