Sunshine headquarters.
cbnt in. shut in from the ceasless
din,
Of the restless world and its strife
and sin;
Sbut in from the turmoil, care and
strife,
And all the wearisome round of life.
Shut in with tears that are spent in
vain,
With the dull companionship of
pain;
Shut in with the changeless days
and hours
And the bitter knowledge of failing
powers.
Shut in with dreams of days gone by,
With buried joys that were born to
die;
Shut in with the hopes that have lost
their zest,
And leave but a longing after rest.
Shut in with a trio of angels sweet.
Patience and Grace al pain to meet.
With Faith that can suffer and stand
and wait,
And lean on the promises strong and
great.
Shut in with Christ! Oh wonderful
thought.
Shut in with the peace His sufferings
brought:
Shut in with the love that wields the
rod;
Oh, company blest! Shut in with
God.

BOY RETURNED
TO PARENTS
Local Officers Intercept And
Hold A Pulaski Youth.
KIDNAPPED OR ENTICED
AWAY FROM HOME.

Chief of Police Webb received a tele.
gram late Saturday afternoon from Mr.
Carter at Pulaski, notifying him that
his son, Perkins Carter, who is about
II years old, had been kidnapped and
taken away on passenger train No, 2,
which had just pulled out for Column
bla.
Chief Webb, in company with Sheriff
Forgey, was at the depot when the train
arrived. The two Off 3ers who had an
accurate description of the hoy, boarded
the train. They som found him, and
be admitted his name to be that of the
one for whom they were looking. He
was sitting beside man, but declared
he was not the one who had taken him
away. The boy was asked by the off,
GERS to point the mar to them, and he
led them through all the coaches and
che crowd on the platform, but claimed
he could nowhere see bis abddctor. He
had been working at the Ferris wheel
of street tair that had been exhibit
ing in Pulaski; and it is thought he
came away with one of the men attached
to the attraction He had a carefully
wrapped package of clothing with BIN,
which indicates that his departure from
home was premeditated and that he was
enticed away instead of kidnapped. His
passage was paid to Franklin, where the
street fair now Is.
The boy was taken to the city Jail
where he was held until his father
called for him Sunday and took him
home.

agreement to operate in restraint Of
trade or commerce or which results
in giving to it or any person or cor

the corporation by the actual owner
ship of such stock is abridged or pre-
vented; that no part Of the capital
stock of such corporation shall be
controlled, owned or voted by any
other corporation.

business as a common carrier shall
not be controlled by any other cor
poration engaged in like or similar
business or by any trust or control

tage as against any other person or
corporation shipping such products
of such transportation lines under
like conditions.
In the case of all corporations it is
provided that they shall not become
parties to any trust arrangement
which would create a monopoly Of
any commercial interest.
