The Glory of the Spring.

The great glad world
Gives joy to see
Its thousand beauties
So wonderful and grand;
New life from everything,
The babling brooks, gurgling springs,
Green grassy nook, oozy Inns,
Join in chorus, glad to sing
Of the glory Of the spring.
Sweetest nature we have seen,
Coolest breezes, falrest skies
Smiles upon US from the Sgreen;
Leaves loves linger in our eyes,
Sunlight from the heavens kisses
All the little flower misses,
While the dew Is on the petal,
And the grasses smart and nettle,
Never miss to say something
Of the glory of the spring.
If we people could be glad
Like the flowers, trees and birds,
Never heart-ache, never sad,
Life dream Of happy words;
II we could have sunny hours,
And could smile and smile again,
Like the green trees and the flowers,
In the sunlight or tho rain
Il we only might be happy
Every song that we would sing,
Would be Ike the mockingbird S Warblin
In the early Of the spring.

An Echo from the Soldiers Home
-BcauvOir.

Beauvoir, Miss, March "a, 1oo7.-To
The Brandon News: Having been at
Gulfport and Beauvoir two weeks, |
thought perhaps some of my Rankin
friends would like to hear from the old
Veterans Home. take it that many of
them are like was-anxious to know
something of the home, its management,
Its situation, its inmates and their every
day life. And just here | wish to say /
am glad | came. had heard many con-
flicting reports, but know what | shall
report will be true. came here unex-
pected by any one. The first man met
was Capt. Billie Steen, our old circuit
clerk, looking as natural as YESTERDAY,
though much improved in health and
spirits. Captain Billie introduced me to
Dr. Price, the superintendent, and Mrs.
Wallace, matron of the home; each of
whom gave me carte blanche to their
home, with hearty invitation to remain
as long as felt like enjoying its hospi-
tality. have gone through every part of
the home, and have met number of old
friends, and comrades whom | knew.
Among them are Thornton Watkins and
Samuel Creole, both formerly of Pela-
hatchie. There arc IS inmates in the
home at present, and they are all COM
fortably situated, and see no reason WHY
they should be dissatisfied. But you
know 1t is said there was once an angel in
heaven became dissatisfied, and raised
war. However have heard very little
grumbling.
The home fronts on the beach with a
trolly car line between extending from
Biloxi to Pass Christian, cars passing
right In front of the home every half hour.
A more beautiful situation could hardly be
conceived Of. Bathing and fishing mag
nifcent as soon as the water gets little
warmer. The home has sjust completed
magnificent hospital building with every
convenience, even to steam heating APP
paratus, and opened it for patients just one
week ago. There are perhaps dozen or
so in the hospital, but none sick much.
They are mostly chronic cases. Indeed,
after having been in and out for two
weeks, can safely say that it is pleas
ant abode for the old vets who need
home. am sure the management are
doing all in their power with the means
they have, to make it pleasant home.
Indeed think they deserve a great deal of
credit, considering the time, means and
environments.
They will soon have fine garden; they
have some fine hogs, eight or ten fine
milk cows, chickens, etc. The fare is
good, sleeping apartments clean, and
what more should they desire? am
favorably impressed with the home and
management. E. P. HIT.
