70 the Departed Confederate Veterans.

O, Dixie, weep!
Another veterans laid him down to
rest;
The trees he loved, in silver MOSES
dressed,
Keep guard above his sleep.
The sky bends blue above,
The sunshine warm and bright, his own
Southland,
Throws Ger his couch with tender, lin
gering hand
A %glittering pool of love.
He resteth well!
Life's battles fought and nobly won,
He laid him down content at set of sun,
As twilight shadows fell.
Above his quiet bed
The quail calls to its mate so loud and
clear.
And all the forests sound so loud, so
dear
Around him spread.
He does not hear.
Fen though his fair young daughters
sorrowing come
And scatter bridal blossoms Ger his
tomb
Believed with many a tear.
And though she plead,
Whose name is woven in the fibers of
his heart.
l She who had never called in vain,
though teardrops start,
He does not heed.
Dixie, of all thy brave
| Who followed where thy stainless BAN
ner led,
No drawer heart e'er beat, no nobler
head
Fer rested in a grave,
Asleep! At rest!
| How calm and sweet thy weary sons
repose -.
/ Safe from all grief, all danger and all
foes,
0, Dixie, on thy breast!

The people of Jackson, Miss,
will vote next month on the
proposition to adopt a commits
sion form of government, a petit
ton for an election to decide this
question having received enough
signatures to make it legal. 1t
is said, however, that some of
the persons who signed the pc
ton declare that they did so to
get rid Of the subject, which has
been before the people in the
press and through public meet
ings for month. The advocates
ofathe commission system are
hopeful, however, and are not
disconnected by the negative
vote of the people of Laurel, the
principal town in Jones county,
who declined to change the form
of their government in a recent
election.

SCARCITY OF BRIDGE TIMBER.

The growing scarcity of tim
Der with which to maintain
bridges the boards of supervisors
are finding it more expensive
each year to keep the public
highways in good order as far
as bridges are concerned. While
the prices demanded by contrac-
tors are much higher than for
merly, owing to the scarcity of
material out of which to con-
struct them, the bridges being
placed over our streams now are
of poorer quality than former
years. With each year the ne
cessity for some other material
for the construction of bridges
grows, and in the near future
there will be no material near at
hand that can be used. With
this condition the boards of SUI
pervisors must find some other
mean of bridging the country
roads.
The experience in this county
with steel BRIDGES has been en-
tirely satisfactory. Nearly ten
years ago the first of the steel
bridges was placed in the coun-
ty. The cost of maintaining
that bridge has been nominal;
every few years a new floor has
to be put in, which is the only
expense in keeping up the
bridge. But the high price of
steel makes it impossible to
bridge oil our streams, and some
other material must be used. In
some sections culverts made of
concrete are being tried with
very satisfactory results. Over
small streams these culverts aft
ord all the passage-way neces-
sary, and where they are in use
their cost is considered cheaper
in comparison with the inferior
timbers now on the market for
bridges.

In the fight between former
Senator Carmack and Governor
Patterson in Tennessee the for
mer has failed to make good in
his effort to drive Patterson out
of the joint debate. The gov
ernor has proven himself to be
the ADLER man of the two on the
stump, and his quiet demeanor
and forcible arguments have
practically won him the nomina-
ton over his fiery and nervous
opponent. Mr.. Carmack is an
able man, but he has not proven
himself to be a useful man in
public life, and his defeat, which
seems now assured without much
doubt, will not be the cause of
general regret.

5th of March 1908, laid his icy
hand upon our beloved brother

time has been a worthy member
of Richmond Lodge No. 81 Free

whereas we believe that Bro.
Bean lived an honest, upright
and christian life, and when sum-
moned into the presence of the
Supreme Ruler of Heaven and
Earth that his life passed such
inspection that it was given unto
him to eat Of the hidden mamma
and to receive the white stone
with a new name written, which
insured to him perpetual and un-
speakable happiness at the right
hand of God.
And whereas his death has
caused a vacancy in his home,
community, church and in our
lodge. Therefore Be it resolved
that we bow in humble submis-
sion to will of the most high God.
And extend to the bereaved
family of our deceased brother,
our heartfelt sympathies in their
sad bereavement.
Be it also resolved that the
members of this lodge wear the
usual badge of mourning and the
altar be suitably draped in mourn.

Be it further resolved that a

The Storm Nose at Sea.

The picturesque name Of storm nose
(Gewittcrnase) is given in Germany to
the wave Of high barometric pressure
which often precedes a storm or a
heavy squat. The barometer rises sud
denly and then falls more gradually.
1t IS believed that this phenomenon Is
responsible for sudden changes in the
level of the sea. Observations on the
seas surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change Of level
thus produced sometimes amounts to
no less than three feet.-Youth's Com
