THE LAST ROSE OF SUFFER-.

) "The Last Rose of Summer
is devoid of the usual Travelled
path of rural dramas, seeking eff.
fects by other means than the ex-
plotting of live stock and kindred
devices which has grown tiresome
through familiarity. The simple
way and naturalness of the char
acters in the play, helped along
by clever company makes this
production one that will linger
long and pleasantly in your mem
ory. In looking over the press
reports where this attraction has
appeared through this part of the
State we fail to find one adverse
criticism. w. B. Patton will be
seen in his original characterize
ton of "Dexter Hurley, at the
Auditorium next Monday night,

Mr.. S. T. McCardell, ST., pur-
chased this week the plantation of
Mr.. Alyre Robichaux, in the Bend,
the consideration being $4,000.
We are pleased to note to the
many friends of Mr.. Marcus Walk
er, a st. Mary boy, that he has
recently been elected cashier of
the First National Bank, of Crow
ley, La. We clip the following
from the Crowley Signal:
"Mr. Walker, who has been
promoted from the post of assist
ant cashier to that of cashier, is a
banker of recognized ability. He
has been with the First National ,
for about a year. He came here
from New Orleans, where he was
receiving teller for the Interstate
Trust and Banking Company.
Prior to that time he was for five
years with the First National Bank,
of Franklin, La. He is widely
known in banking circles, and has
demonstrated that he is a careful,
conservative man in whom COM
plete trust may be placed, and a
nan in whose judgment the pa
,rons of the bank may have con-
idence"

FORCED TO ENLARGE SHIP
PING FACILITIES
The Y. & M. v. r. R. is Now Run
ming Fast Freight Train From
St. Louis to Greenville.

I In order to meet the demands Of
the rapidly increasing business at
Greenville, the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad has found It neces-
sary to put on daily through mer-
chandise car from St: Louis to this
City. This car leaves ST. Louis daily
on through manifest train and ar
rives in Greenville at IL O'Clock noon
of the second day. Freight from this.
car will be unloaded and ready for
delivery the day after arrival. This
is move in the right direction, and
shows that the Y. & NJ. v. Railroad
is alive to the requirements of this
city. We hope this car will be well
patronized, to show that the mer-
chants of Grecnville fully appreciate
any improvements that this road
makes in its service.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Thoughtiessly the maiden sung:
Fell the words unconsciously
From the girlish, guileless tongue
Sung as little children children sing;
Sung as sings the birds in June;
Fell the words as light leaves dawn
On the current of the tune
Rock of Aages, cleft for me;
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Felt her soul no need to hide,
Sweet the song as song could be.
And she had no though beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dream not then that each might be
On some other lips a prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Twas a woman sung them now;
Sung them slow and YEARLY
Wan hand on her aching brow,
Rode the song as stOrm-tossed bird
Boats with weary wing the air;
Every now with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable a prayer
.Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly;
Voice grown weak and eyes dim;
Let; me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling though the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river in its flow;
Sung as only they, eaa- sing
Who life's thorny paths have prest,
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock of Ages, cleft for me;
/. Let m.. hide myself in Thee
Rock or Ages, cleft for me-
Sung above a coffin lid:
Underneath all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Never more a storm tossed soul,
Never more from wind and tide,
Never more from pillows roll,
Wilt thou ever need to- hide.
Could the sightless sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft white hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Wave again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye still. the words would be,
LET me hide myself in. thee"
