TIME MADE TO ORDER.
By DUNCAN M. SMITH

In staid and ancient London town
/" They're going to turn the clocks
ahead,
So that the merry villagers
Will one hour sooner. go to bed.
That doesn't sound so bad, but wait;
A joker in it hidden lies.
1t means that those who practice 1t
A~whole hour sooner must arise.
It's very fine to read about
This rising with the early dawn
And getting out the moving traps
To shave the whiskers off the lawn
Or eating with the rising sun
And hurrying to shop or store,
But let them come to try it out
n half the people would be sore.
Those who are constituted so
They briskly tumble out of bed
Would give approval to the scheme, !;
But how about the sleepyhead?
He'd lear the morning whistle blow
And try his drowsy eyes to force,
Declaring he would rather nooze
And let old nature AXE it's course
This scheme for making people prompt
BY simply. setting up the clocks
Is due before it goes in force
For several hard and able knocks,
But after 1t Is working we'll
The earlier the whistle toots
No doubt they'll earn to lift them
selves
By pulling gently on their boots.

NARROW ESCAPES.

All, little did we dream in youth
As down the stairs we stole
And skipped when Snother wasn't near
on to the swimming hole,
Where in the cool but mirky pool.
With mud banks soft and damp,
That microbes were al plentiful
As whiskers on a tramp!
Before we had consulted books
Or e up In the ~
How could we, know where dangers
lurked
Within that swimming place1
The awful knowledge did not mar
Those moments Of delight
That microbes waited by the score
For something fresh to bite.
We shudder at the chance we took
With that man eating band.
And how we managed to escape
We cannot understand.
For now we know the microbes must
Have done their best to tease
BY trying to present each M
Some new and strange disease.
But somehow we escaped the snare
And lodged the threatened jolt
And through the swimming season
AS: healthy as a colt,
For, though the microbes aim was
good,
He only scored q miss.
It truly must have been a ase
Where ignorance raj BLISS.
Not the Brand.

Our school is progressing nicely,
the enrolment being sufficient to
justify the return of Miss Foster,
the former assistant, to the de-
light Of her friends and pupils.
G. w. benson was a pleasant
visitor in Fannin last week.
Tucker Latham, one of Jack
sons enterprising merchants,
spent last week with his parents.
r. C. Latham has purchased

LynwOod.

AS | have not seen anything
from the thriving little village of
Lynwood for some time, | will
send you a few lines to let you
know that we are still kicking,
but not very high, as nearly
everybody has the grippe, but
are all improving and hope to
get we'll enough to make a large
crop but not much corn as usual.
Let's figure little on what we
are doing on share supply crops.
There are probably 1900 stations
in the cotton states which will
average, say 10 car loads of
supplies that we can raise at
home, $500 stations and Is cars
to each station will be 112, 500
car loads. Suppose each car
load is worth say, $3.50 then this
supply stuff will cost us the
enormous sum of $73, 120, 900.
Great goodness are we not crazy?
Suppose that we make these
supplies and don't go in debt for
anything, only what we have got
to have, then we can hold our
cotton for Is cents and we can
get it. Furthermore we will
have the $73, 120, 900 to buy cot
ton goods with and this will
cause large demand for cotton.
Will we never learn to manage
our business in a business way?
With best wishes to all mankind
and special privileges to the toll
ers of the soil. j. E. TOWNSEND.

u. c. v. Reunion.

Headquarters United Confeder-
ate Veterans, New Orleans, La,
February s, 1908. G e n r a
orders, No. rs. The general
commanding announces that, &C
cording to the custom heretofore
in force, which leaves to the
general commanding and the de-
partment comm n ders the
naming the date of the reunion;
the eighteenth annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans
will be held in the city of Birm-
ingham, Ala, on June 9, 10 and
IL, 1908; Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, respectively, those
days having been named by our
host as satisfactory.
No city in the south has shown
since we laid down our arms at
Appomattox such stupendous
growth as the city of Birming-
ham; and she stands out alone
among her sister cities, whether
she is viewed as to the extent of
territory covered by her corpor-
ate limits, the grandeur and
magnificence of her buildings OF
the number and wealth of her
manufacturing industries.
While there is nothing in and
around the city to arouse the en-
thusiasm of the survivors of the
confederate armies, her patriotic
men and beautiful women, with
a fidelity to the principles of the
southland and a devotion to her
traditions second to none, plead
with their old-time friends and
comrades to come to the hospit-
able homes of the Magic City,
assuring them that a welcome
will be given equal to any that
has been shown in the past.
The central location of the city,
it's numerous railroad connec-
tons, place it within easy reach
of all sections of the country; and
the general commanding feels
satisfied that the boys in gray
will be present in large numbers.

lleve that politics has controlled
the management in years gone
by, does so now, and whoever
can suggest some way to elimi-
nate that baneful influence will
deserve and receive the thanks
OF the state. Of the recent
trouble at the Rankin state farm
The News has only to say that if
the convict was cruelty treated
then the sergeant in charge
should not only been discharged,
but prosecuted; yet, if the pris-
oner refused to work and cursed
the guard, he should have been
soundly, but not numerically,
whipped. The convict is a con-
vlcted felon who should be COM
fortably housed, plentifully fed
on wholesome food, clad in suit
able clothing according to the
season of the year, and treated
as a human being, who is en-
titled to the consideration due a
human, however depraved, but
be given no special privileges.
There will be no permanent good
accrue to the state as long as the
convict is worked for the greatest
profit, and the system of TRUSTEES
should be abolished. The con-
tention that reliable white men
cannot be employed to drive
wagons, go errands and guard
prisoners at as small cost as to
use convicts for such duties is no
doubt true, but as making money
is not the one thing to consider,
good men could be obtained at
fair wages and make every
convict realize that he was
sent to prison for violat-
ing the laws Of the state.
1t does not improve a poor I'M
fortunates disposition when hoe
ing row on a hot day to see a
life time sentenced murderer,
whose neck escaped being
broken by a communication from a
governor, who often, for the
ends of justice, had best not in
terfered with a jurys verdict
and supreme court decision,
holding a shot gun over him,
hoping for an opportunity to
shoot him that the guard might
get pardon for preventing an
escape" The convicts should
be kept within the bounds of the
farms under all circumstances
and much of the trouble would
cease as the TRUSTEES from their
intercourse with the outside
pick up ideas which impart-
ed to those confined stir up the
devil continually. What is
needed, is no politics, TRUSTEES
done away with, just treatment
to the men, with rigid rules of
punishment carried out for those
who deserve it, and the result
ant profits will be good, with
the absence of the everlasting
strife which has been so prevail
ent for the last few years.
