This sad, untoward stroke that robs
Home OF a mother. loved DER all
Fierce shocks the heart with griefs wild throbs
Hard up against Fate's iron wall.
While Faiths poor consultations here
Fall vain and coldly, as on alien car.
A-darkness wraps US in It's fold
And turns back from this sunlight age
Unto the harsher days Of old
When Hghtnings liz tragic page
AID Fates and Furies. with no pang Of ruth.
Struck those the gods loved. in their blooming
youth
But man, wrapped in the mantling gloom.
Then challenged with brave demand
An answer from the lips of Doom
And asked. why Fate's remorseless hand
Should WELD shis cruel. unjust power
To strike the noblest. in untimely hour
A t.ndsrer voice speaks thro deaths pail
Thy plant of grief though loud and deep
Can no, the loved and lost recall
Or waken that last dreamless sleep.
And though hearts break, be patient stii
Nor make vain appeal,-it is Gods will.

and in few seconds you fail to no.

The heat nerves aud cold nerves.
which are quite distinct from the
nerves of ordinary sensation, also give
way to overwork very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you step
into il very soon ceases to cause any
particular feeling Of heat.
Nerves Of hearing and sight can 90
through an enormous amount Of work.
For sixteen hours a day they work
hard and are still willing to do more.
The nerves of the heart are the
most untiring of all. From the first
dawn of life until the last gasp they
work without stopping for one instant.
And even after death il some salted
water is pumped into the heart il com.

the nerves are still willing.

the rush of cotton to the market
to satisfy pressing obligations,
send broadcast the report that a
tremendous crop has been made.

Obituary Notices.


There seems to be some mis-
understanding existing among our
readers as to the publishing of
obituary notices. tributes of re.
spect, resolutions of thanks, etc.,
netwstanding our weekly announce
ment that they are to oe paid
for all over one hundred words
in length. Nearly every day there
come to us obituary notices, in
nearly every case over the limit and
sometimes containing thousand
words, yet it is seldom indeed
that anything is said about pay.
ing for excess words. Not only
this but frequently we get two
or three obituaries applying to one
person, and sometimes each year
after a person dies We are called
on 10 publish an obituary, a sort
of annual reminder.
Now We have great respect for
the feelings of everyone bereaved

the farmer who sells his cotton
for less than thirteen cents is
sacrificing his own interests and
