Leakesville abounds in beautiful
scenery. There are garden spots of
earth to be viewed here, without
hiking away to the mountains and
other famed resorts. Lovely stretches
of bank studded with an almost trop-
lea. bewilderment of trees and foil
age, glistening white embankments
OF sand running from high bluff to
waters edge, enhancing interspers-
ing of bends and bayous and eddies,
while away before the entraaced eyes
sweeps on down toward the mighty
sea, now silent and again awfully
turbulent is the old Chickasawahay.
Such q poets dream is partially I'M
folded in the picture this week of r.
r. Bridge. Next week we will have
more of the same enhancing beauty
to unfold, but taken from different
vantage point.

do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while
their ears can hear them, and while
their hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them; the kind things
you mean to say when they are gone,
say before they go. The flowers you
mean to send for their collins, send
to brighten and sweeten their homes
before they leave them. If my friends
have alabaster boxes laid away, full
of fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over my dead body, | would
rather they would bring them out in
my weary and troubled hours, and
open them, that | may be refreshed
and cheered by them while l need
them. I would rather have q plain
coffin without a flower, a funeral
without an eulogy, than life with
