VESPER BELLS
BY A. LATADY.

 This peaceful with quiet fraught, Engendering trains of peaceful thought, Is just disturbed by melody that swels
 From forth the sacred throats of vesper bells. Shyward ascending there to meet the chimes That thither rise from many distant climes They join in mellow harmonies that bear holy unto heavens The sweet vibrations seizing heart, A Transport it hence unto distant part Whence rise charms which shall with these arise To wend harmonious Journeys to the skies Should with her vesper bells her thoughts ascend, Mine there shall join them where these musics blend.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

ARCADIA Far away from all the hurry and the
 worry of the town, There's a little country village where
 the blooms are drifting down And the air Is perfume-laden with the
 lily and the rose And the stream of lifes unruffled there.
 so placidly it flows Through the stiffness of a valley where
 the sunbeams lightly stray And the bi' ds and bees and butterflies are keeping holiday Calm delights and sweet contentment
 wreathe the faces there with smiles And the laugh of childish innocence the gloaming time beguiles, When the shadows steal along the lanes and glory dyes the west And the cheerful hum of crickets Iulls
 the soul to perfect rest.

REPLIES.


 It is remarkable how many people have something to tell you when you are busy that doesn't amount to anything.
 A woman calls having a good time stay ing in bed all day and reading and cry ing. s
 A man was arrested at ball game the other day and hauled off to jail just when the home team had struck a win ming streak.
 It is hard to say which Is more trouble some, quarreling woman or a skidding automobile.
 Just about the time an airship is smash ing all records it dives into sand dune and smashes itself. PAUL COOK.

VACATION TIME.

 Vacation time vacation time Is drawing on apace, We'll soon be battling with the trout Where mountain rivers race; We'll soon be climbing distant hills, Or lounging by the sea, Cut loose from care for little while And happy as can be. Vacation time, vacation time. We seem to hear the call Of shady lanes and lowered wales Where tinkling waters fall Through the window comes the drone of
 bees
 And songs from far away, In the picnic lands of long ago Where little children play. Vacation time, vacation time, The birds sing in the trees Of life and love and happiness A perfume on the breeze Brings back the charm of another day. A day of girl and boy When every word we whispered then Was eloquent of joy. Vacation, time, vacation time, The gladdest of the year. When all the world around, about Is brmming full of cheer; When life assumes a brighter hue And troubles are forgot, The while we lay us down to rest In some secluded spot Vacation time, vacation time, Oh, days surpassing sweet, Of dalliance in quiet haunts And Idly straying feet; Of tender vows and golden dreams And hearts that beat in tune Along the wales of incidence, Adown the lanes of June!

I like a fellow who gets out and says what he thinks and what he wants, and yet is willing to stand by the dictates of the people of his own party. I propose to vote for Percy and I believe the great mass of the people of Jefferson county and of the Ninth congressional district will vote for him, because he has the nerve and the honesty to express him. self when he sees fit and everyone knows when he does so that he believes he is in the right.

The latter city has been charged with having been the headquarters for blind tigers who according to cur rent reports, have been proving about in this community. Things came to a climax yesterday when a negro ar rested by Marshal Spier on the charge of violating the prohibition law was arraigned before Justice Kimbrcugh. and the testimony showed that the al- legged violation had taken place across arresting officers In Russell County Judge Kimbrough said that under the law his Jurisdiction extended guar ter of a mile beyond the county line. but that there were magistrates and arrestinE officers in hussell County, and he would leave to them the prop CT regulation of their own territory, and would not extend his authority be-
