How shall words our grief abate?
Call him noble; call him great;
Say that faith, now gaunt and grim,
Once was fair because of him;
Say that goodness, round his way,
Made one everlasting day;
Say that beauty's heavenly flame
Bourgeoned wheresoe'er he came;
Say that all life's common ways
Were made glorious in his gaze;
Say he gave us, hour by hour,
Hope and patience, grace and power;
Say his spirit was SO true
That it made us noble, too
What is this but to declare
Lies bereavement, Loves despair?
What is this but just to say
All we loved is torn away?
o my comrade, O my friend,
If this parting be the end,
Yet hold my life divine
To have known soul like thine

The movement to close the local
business houses at 6 o'clock in the
afternoon during the summer months
Ind W psrFr rs to be
ginning June goth, is being indorsed
by most of the local firms. All of
the dry goods, clothing and furnishing
merchants signed the agreement sew
eral days ago, and now the furniture
and hardware merchants have come
in. The grocers are considering the
move, and it is understood that the

Notice to Property Owners on New
Sewer Line.

Parties owning property on the new
sewer extension can make their deep
cut connections in front of their prop
erty with the mains when they are
being constructed by having their
plumber make connection and ex-
tend the pipe as far up perpendicular
as they expect to go and leave it
plugged to make their future connec-
ton with them when the sewer con-
tractors have completed their contract
and same has been accepted by the
sewer system. By making these con-
nections when the mains are open it
will save the property owners some
expense in making their connections.

last Monday. 81 am getting tired
of town life and long to be on the
farm again for more reasons than
one. When lived on the farm
and came to town, the town men
made great fuss over me. Dur.
ing the campaign when the politi-
clans were out over the county,
they used to stop at my place and
make me think that l was one of
the smartest and funniest men IN
the State. They would listen to
suggestions with great alternative.
ness, and fairly kill themselves
laughing at my jokes. Now when
| meet these men on the streets
they hardly speak to me. l haven't
had a cigar given to me since be-
fore the last primary. | can't tell a
joke any more that will attract at
tention, in fact when / started in,

SHOULD HAVE A
GOOD BALL TEAM
Plenty of Good Material in PO-
cahOntaS to Organize a
Crack Team.

We are informed that there is
now a move on foot to organize a
first-class base ball team in Poca-
hontas, a number of the local fans
have gotten enthused during the past
few days to such an extent that it
is thought that there will be no
difficulty what ever in securing the
best team that Pocahontas has ever
had. Quite a number of our citi-
zens are base ball enthusiasts and
should the boys organize a good
team they will receive substantial
assistance from our business people.
The main thing for our boys to do
is to select some good man as man
ager, pay attention to his instruc-
tions and that of the captain of the
team and they can finish the season
with a good record. Other towns
in this section have already organ
lied and are getting down to hard
practice. Quite a number of the
boys here have been trying them
selves out the past few days and
getting ready for work and we can
expect some fast playing by the Po-
cahontas aggregation this year.
