sunset In the Desert.

When the labor OF the day Is Ger,
And quietness prevails once more.
When REDEEMED is the western sky,
Another day has now passed by.
The wind doth rustic the forest leaves
Harvest is here with thousands OF
sheaves.
Far of in the west is the fast sinking
sun,
Which now bids farewell to old Piney
Run.
Sunset. in the Desert is most glorious
to behold.
Its rays fall on the hillside and glitter
like gold.
It's q sight that tn artist can never de-
scribe,
This crystal stream Of Piney with Its
fertile valleys wide.
Is 1t any wonder then that my heart
with rapture thrills
AS stand and view this lovely spot ]
Among the West Virginia hills?
At evening after the sun has gone to
rest
In the far off glowing golden west. y
When the birds have sung themselves
-, to sleep.
And darkness then begins to creep, :
The moon and stars from on high doth
watch
To catch CLEAN OF ollr mountain tops.

a business man and is well-ftted
for the office of County Court

poses to conduct his canvass up

votes upon his merits and will be
thankful to those who will aid
him by their suffrage in securing
his election. 1t is only about
five weeks until the November
