THELORD'S PRAYER

1.-THE following beautiful composition captured during the
civil Charleston S. c. by Indiana soldier The dngy,
time paper which written evidently goose
quill pen bore the date of July 1928 quite literary
osity:
Thou to the mercy seat our souls doth gather
To do our duty unto Thee .......... . our father
To whom all praise, all honor should be given
For Thou art the Great God .... Who IN Hearen;
Thou by Thy wisdom, ruest the worlds whole frame
Forever, therefore HaLoOed be Ting name
Let delays divide from
Thy glorious grace but let Thy Kingdom come
Let Thy commands opposed be by none,
But thy good pleasure and Thy a0U be done
And let promptness to obey be
The On earth Heaveu
Then, for souls Lord, also pray
Thou wouldst be pleased to Give this day.
The food of life wherawith souls fed,
Sufficient raiment and ........ Oa1 daiLa bread:
With every needful thing do Thou provide
And of thy mercy pity ..... And torgve
All our msdeeds for Him, whom thou ddst please
To make offering for ....... ON trespusses
And for much o Lord believe
That Thou wilt pardon ...... As 1Ue forgive those
Let that love teach wherewith Thou dost acquant
To pardon all Who trespass against u.s.
And though ofttmes Thou fndes we have forgot
This love to Thee yet keep And lead
Through soul and body to desperation
Nor let earh's gain drive Into ten1ptation
Let not the soul of any true believer
Fall in the time of trial .......... But deLiuer
YEA from the malice Of the devil
And both in life and death keep. Us from evil
This pray Lord, for that of Thee from whom
This may be had For Thine IS the KIuodOn
This world is of Thy word; its wondrous story
To thee belongs The Poacer and Glory
And all thy wondrOus works have ended never,
But will remain forever and ....... Forever
Thus poor creatures would confess again
And thus say eternay ....... r. Amen!

What viii appear very interesting

after each meal and again at bed
time
A well known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingred-
tents are all harmless, and can be
obtained at a small cast from any
good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would he put up if asked
to do so. lie further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, be could see no
reason why it would not be n splen-

Dear Robert: ---Some 10 DAYS
before the Legislature convened,
Alfred KenneY was at GAINESVILLE
and asked me to get up a petition
with a few names and send it to
him at Charleston, and that when
the Legislature convened he-intend
ed to have a bill introduced to
make the bridge levy 20 cents on
the hundred dollars. L did so, and
he wrote the bill and had our Rep
resentative John Cornell to intro
duce it. A few days after it was in
troduced he came to Grantsville
and stayed a week, paying oil rent
ais to our people, some three thous-
and dollars. On going back to
Charleston few days before the
adjournment of the Legislature, and
finding the bill lying there, nothing
being done with it, he asked and
received the hearty support of Sen
ator Jake Fisher Representative
Bell of Clay county, Seamon, of
Jackson and our whole souled big
hearted friend, "Skip" Rathbone of
Writ. They all DOTTED their coats
and went after 1t and by the very
hardest work got it passed the night
the Legislature adjourned.
To KeDney is wholly due the act
giving us the ten cent bridge levy.
and to him and the other friends
above mentioned is due the addition
al ten cents, giving the court the
right to levy 20 cents for bridges
and it can be used for no other pur-
pose.
Tie court levied last ear te4
cents on the one hundred dollars
Under that act we built the bridge
at Arnoldsburg Now that we can
levy 20 cents we shall build some
bridges in Old Calhoun.
1 sincerely hope it will be the
pleasure of all our people that be-
lieve in public improvements to at
all times in all;placos aud among all
men to especially treat kindly, and
respect Senator Jake Fisher, of SUIT
ton. Braxton county, Representative
Bell Of Clay, Seamon of Jackson,

own Irish Kenney OF Calhoun. Bob
1 tell yoo Kennoy has a way Of do

nance the value Of all the property

If all the good people of our
county viii help by word and act VIC
VIII have bridges where ever needed
inside the next five years I ash
and plead for the hearty co-opera-
