POPLAR CORNER pICK.UPS.

Hello boys, Xmas gift. We have
had all kinds of weather on tap since
our last issue. Sleet. snow, rain, and
sunshine.
Old Hughey killed hogs that cold
spell before Christmas. About a
week after we had week of warm,
rainy cloudy weather. Mrs. Old
Hughey lost all of her sausage. Too
bad!
The young folks in this neighbor-
hood commenced Xmas one week
ahead of time by having big ball in
Tullies new store at the corner.
Young folks from everywhere seemed
to be there. 1t was up-to-date with
music, style and everything that
belong to gathering of that kind.
Order was splendid.
The Poplar Corner school has some
thing like an epedemic among the
children. They all took cough and
fever with it and they run down to
three children one day. Hope after
Xmas is over they will be able to re-
turn to school.
Little George Armstead, who has
been in Panama for several years,
came home Xmas and took unto him
self wife. He married Miss Hill
bun at Eudora. He will leave on 10th
of January for Panama.

Rayfield Titus, the negro who cre-
ated deal of excitement in Nesbitt
several weeks ago by firing upon III.
G. Elmore and several others, and
successfully escaping arrest at that
time, was captured in Memphis on
Dec. II, and is now in Jail here.
1t was only by accident that Titus
was discover in Memphis by Mr.. Ell
more, but as soon as he was seen Mr..
Elmore called policeman and had
him arrested. When taken into Gus
tody Titus was found to be armed and
Memphis authorities only turned him
over to Sheriff Barbee because his
crime in Mississippi was grayer than
that of carrying concealed weapons.
The negro is now in Jail under SEN
tence of six months for carrying con-
cealed weapons and under $1,000 for
shooting with intent to kill.

Solitude.

Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone
For the sad old earth must borrow III
mirth
But has troubles enough Gifts own
Sing and the hills will answer,
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But Shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure Of all your
pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many,
Be sad and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nec-
tared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast and your halls are crowded
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give and it helps you
live.
But no man can help you die.
There is room In the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles Of pain.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
