was TO secure the depth of the river,
the waterfall, the motive power and
other information desired by the gov

will extend TO this city. The work
is nearly completed, as the party, as
stated above, is only few miles
north of Columbus, and expects to

When asked if the survey had any
bearing upon the Improvement of the
Tombigbee river from the standpoint
of navigation, Mr.. Gibson said that

cept call to the pulpit of Trinity

ney the services will begin PROMPTLY

And start in to saw wood.
You can still have the best
Things in life like the rest
Of the men who've achieved
Just because they've believed
In themselves. You're deceived
II you think fortune comes
With a rattle of drums
And a fanfare of state
To hand yours On plate.
That isn't the way
That she visits today.
You must get out and rustic and
hustle and hustle;
You need all your muscle, for you've
got to tussle.
Plunge into the fight
Hit to left and to right
And keep crashing and smashing.
Don't let up with your striking
Till things meet your liking.
For Gods sake, stop bawling-
Instead, do some mauling

To look at gutter;
Fate scowls when she sees
A grown-up on his knees.

Full of UNEMPLOYED lOdes.

Get a grip on your pluck,
