In Memory of Little Vardaman.

On the 18th Of June. 1909. the dark
winged Angel of Death entered the
home Of Lee and Llnnie Edge and took
from them their infant son, Vardamap,
aged one year and four months. His
sickness was of extreme suffering, and
for days he lowered between life and
death. All was done that was possible
to stay the hand of death but to no
avail, and on the morning of June 18th
the Reaper said "Come" and the pure
spirit of little Vardaman winged it's
flight to Him who said, Suffer little
children to come unto me "Who
plucked that flower?" asked the gard
enel, and they answered, "the Master
and the gardener was silent.
Sleep on in 1hy beauty.
Thou sweet angel child;
By sorrow unblighted,
BY sin undefled.
Like the dove to the ark
Thou hast flown to thy rest,
From the wild sea of strife
To the home of the blest.
A Friend.

FINER, LARGER, BETTER. The New Oil Hill to be One
 of the finest in the South.

The reports have gained cur rency from some strange source that the Brinkley oil mill was not going to be rebuilt.
 The ARGUS is glad to say that these reports are false and are absolutely without grounds. Bet ter still the mill is net cnly going to be rebuilt bu it is to be a much finer, larger and more modern and every other way a better mill than the cid one. 1t is to be built of solid brick and equipped with the most modern fittings ard machinery and IS to be one of the finest cotton oil plants in the South.
 All Brinkley IS interested Tn this ss it means much to cur city. Every loyal Brinkleyite, who owns a foot of soil or has busi- ness in town realizes that the oil mill is one of the most important factors in the town as a wage, and consequently, cash producer. Every one of these loyal city builders rejoiced to see the enter prise and push of the oil mill management in announcing the morning after the fire that every thirg would go along just as usu- al, the mill would buy seed, etc, and ship it to their Little Rock mill to be ground until they could rebuild.
 Thus it is that out of it's calam- ity in the loss of the mill, Brink ley gains another splendid ad- vantage.

But yesterday the world was gay,
The valleys and the hills were bare,
Nor even sunlight came to play
With mocliing shadows anywhere,
Then answering a magic wand
A birdsong rippled from the height,
And from the meadewiands beyond
A carol murmured in delight,
For in the night veil was flung
Across the stark boughs of the trees,
All tremulous it caught and swung
AS gossamer will sway and seize
A veil of Sheerest, living green
Through which the sunshine softly
fell
And splashed 1t with jewel shees
OF wonder that no words may tell.
And over meadowlauds. and all
Across the hills, the veil was
thrown
In answer to the mystic cali
Which from the fairy horns was
blown
The call whose accents faint will
The heights OF sky and depths of
And with their swift and subtle
Call bud and bough to newer birth,
Shrubs pulsed with life, and barbs
famed red
And brown and green; and curling
fronds
OF ferns ieaped from the marshes
dead,
Wild vines dropped over browsing
ponds
And tender mint gave forth It's scent
While pungent, spicy ealamus ~
It's first green bannerets unpent
Amid the rpples tremulous.
Ho, ribald folk who jest and ieer
At rhyming wights who touch the
lyTe,
Ye know that at this time of year
Your own hearts throb with hidden
fire,
And how. contented, you look out
Upon the early blooms that dance
In winding measures roundabout
