--Ps. lxxxiv. z.
Three times In every year was the
Jcw required to present himself before
4 tho Lord In that place wherein He had
chosen to SGT Ella name. And this
psalm describes the feeling Of some
truc-hearted servant OF God who had
been hlndered from joining In one OF
the great festivals in the public Swor-
ship in tho courts OF tho Lord. but
who, nevertheless, had made the most
OF such opportunities as he had, and
thereby not lost his reward.

Thou Lord Of hostsl My soul hath q
desire and longing to enter into the

BLESSED Is the man whose strength
is In Thee; In whose heart are Thy

to ali that goes before. and to all that
follows. To make God our strength,
to run In the way OF His commands

follow. And how great are those bene-

who had been accustomed to the parch-

heart had sounded every depth Of
human woe, could use no stronger
Imagery than that OF turning the vale
OF misery into pool of water. Surely
he comes as Of right to his next
tthought-"The will go from strength

And those others who have known
tho mercies Of tho Most High, and have
felt their own lives ordered and their

Some Christn1as Delicacies and
 HoU to Loosen Your Little Wnds

Speaking of Christmas delicacies, they are coming as high as any Yule- tide market has ever afft: ded. Have you tried to purchase a gobbler? If you have not and you are good shot, bet ter go to the swamp and Kill one free. Ills Hlghness, the Turkey, Is more up- pish than ever, demanding for his meat almost golden prices.
 It is enough to drive, you, poor hub bic, to the woods, to hear the market clerk say to your wife. "Twenty-two and one-half cents or twenty-five cents a pound" Yet you must have his lord ship. the gobbler, however painful the price. You groaned, Sou will recall at 20 cents a pound that you paid last year for such meat at this. Groan again, if you don't think you can help yourself. Otherwise, take the tip of the Sphinx and dig in your jeans.
 Speaking of fowls, the common gar den variety of hens that wake the ur- bane citizens early Sunday morning Is costing approximately to his puflng Hlghness, the Turkey. And of his fruit --'tis agony to speak of 1t. An egg is costing over three cents apiece nowa- days and the price is being demanded
 with as much conscience as the hotel proprietor during Mardi Gras or a Worlds Fair asked $5 for sleeping space Tn zinc Dabn~LuD. some QoSenS of eggs were sold Saturday at 35 cents. One unsophisticated shopper got stung forty cents for twelve of the ovais.
 Speaking of panicky days that are now on, how would you like to buy cranberries at 20 cents a quart?

STILL A PRISONER
F. J. POUNDsTONE VISITED SUNDAY
 BY FRIENDS.
His Trouble Is Source Of Regret To Numerous Friends And Strong Pressure May Solve
 Dffaculty.

F. J. Poundstone, who was arrested Saturday evening as a suspicious char acter because his books were in dis ordered condition, had not been re- Ieased from custody up to Sunday eve- ming. The case seems to be at rest as it is, but 1t Is said an effort will be made to settle the matter out Of court.
 Tombstone had been under suspi- cion for some time previous to his ar- rest, the suspicion being aroused by the fact that although he was a rail- way clerk with a wife and family to support. he always seemed to have plenty of ready money. It Is also said he was leading a dual life.
 His friends at the Western of Ala bama Railway office, where he was employed until shortly before his ar rest, are deeply disturbed over the incident and many of them refused to believe there was anything wrong. Several of them visited him In the city jail Sunday.
 Policeman Loe, who was sent to make the arrest, Is very much dis tressed that the story of it would seem to come from him to the public. The rumor of the incident reached The Advertiser through a person who had seen Poundstone in custody. The po- lice of1ce was called up In an effort to secure the facts and referred to Loe as the officer who had made the arrest With the facts practically in hand, Toe was asked to confirm or deny them, and under the circum- stances there was nothing else for him to do.
 What action the civil authorities will take in the matter has not yet been announced. It is known that pressure will be brought to bear to keep the incident out of the courts and settle it between the parties con- cerned, but this may be difficult be- cause of the prisoner having admitted the disorder of his books.
