Aitbo' ! know she's getting old,
AS can plainly see;
Her pretty hair, more gray than gold
She's all the world to me.
Her sweet dear eyes no longer shine,
As when froia sorrow free:
Yet thrill they still this heart of mine
In them her love | see.
Her shapely hands, so soft and white
When she was twenty three,
And not SO now, aud yet, despite
They pretty seem to me.
We've stood together at the graves
That hid cur babes away.
God took the loved ones that he gave
In sorrows darksome day.
United by thousand ties
That bind our hearts as one
A woman's love the richest prize
To man beneath the sun.
And now, descending hand in hand
Life's last declivity,
Unrealiz'd much that we plann'd,
She's all the world to me.
Together now for thirty years
On matrimonial sea,
In calm, in storm, in joy and tears,
Was all the world to me.
The dreaded penalty ofage,
The loss Of friends must be.
l bear it now at every stage,
While she is left TO me-
Our boys, now TO manhood grown,
Have left the parent tree;
Aud now since we are left alone
She's doubly dear to me.
Our quiet evenings we spent
Before the cheerful blaze
And tho Romance is at an end
Yet something better says.
Two hearts that long have beat as one
Thank God are still the same;
Nor winters chill no: summers sun
Can change loves gen lie flame.
We both have reach'u the Golden Age
OF life--the sunset glow
That gllds the past on ev'ry page
And ballows long ago.
Tho she has passed beneath the rod
Care written il each line
Her sorrows by the grace of God
Have made her face divine.
Nh (Indt fort,id thar aver
In her declining years
Should ever even make her sigh
Much less incite her tears.

Col. John =. Mosby is going to de.
liver a series Of lectures in New Eng

exactly what happened to them when

Mosby's men were on horseback.

Constitutions, Amendment.

Editor Monroe watchman:
! Several weeks ago. through these col
nmns, ] expressed views averse to the
ratification Of proposed amendment
10 our State Constitution which pro-
/ vides for the addition of two Supreme
Court Judges to the five for which the
Z institution now provides. Before
reading the proposed amendment, I
was misied by press reports of it. Since
Fading II, however, ascertain that
the proposed amendment provides for
the very things fer which my former
article contended. 1t provides for the
sevca judges into two paris designated
as Part One, and Part Two, and that
tue seven judges shall elect one Of
thor rrmher as chief Justice. who

VIII ee observed that, under the pro-
| pos Il arrangement, twice the business
car he disposed of IN year that ca,
be disposed Of under present arrange
nent in that time; thereby enabling
the Court to clear the now greatly con-
ges'ed docket in comparatively short
space of time, and to keep it cleared
The proposed amendment further
provides that the chief Jus tic may, in
his discretion, order any cause pend
ing before the Court 10 be heard and
decided by the Court en- banc, which
in y nutshell means, by all the seven
judges sitting togefher--the Chiei
Justice presiding.
1t should be remembered that there
are now over 500 cases pending before
tLat tribunal. There is no state court
in existence that works more days in
year, orr works harder than our SUI
preme Court of Appeals as it is now
constituted; yet, at best, ifno new
business is presented, 1t could not rea-
sonably be expected for it to clear the
docket in a shorter period of time than
two years. Both the court an, the
people need Ieliet froin the existing
situation. The proposed amendment
will give 1t. Every voter should caro-
fully read this proposed amendment
before the Sth of Novem ber You have
the opportunity, as The Legislative act
proposing this amendment provides
that the Governor, shall, at least three
months before the election, cause the
full text of the amendment to be pub

read it and consider it. You may have

| Ia reviewing the record OF the Hon
@ erre Sturgiss since his entry In
pubic life, we find that 1t has been one
of continued Inconsistency. He first
gained notoriety from the fact that dur.
ing the civil war he edited, at Morgan.
] town, what was known as copper,
b cad sheet, called the Monitor; and
before he close Of the war he had Sc
cured position in nequartermaster q
department in the union army
! Mr.. Sturgiss has always adapted
himself to political expediency. First
aDemocrat aud then u Republican lie
has continually been an Office seeker
at the hands Of one and then the other.
The party las, time Judge Aston q.
Dayton was nominated for congress
Stargi-s was The principal one who
insisted that the Judge either regign or
with itaw. Failing in the consum-
nation of this Mr.. Stnrgiss went home
and sulked in his tent aud refused vote
70 participate in the campaign. and
on the day of the election he remained
away from the polls and reused to
"Old Dayton Guard" should not for
get on this coming election day.
Recently 10 Grafton, Taylor county,
Mr.. Sturgiss addressed meeting of
the q. "A. r., ON which occasion be
greeted his auditors as comrades, stat.
ing that he fell that he could so
design ale them, owing to the fact
that he had not so long since married
the daughter OF a prominent retired
major of the srmy. 1t Is under
stood, however, that MIR. Sturgiss does
not hope TO secure many votes from
the Grand Army Of the Republic IL
this coming election; especially is this
true In the weston section OF the district
However, 1t is alleged that what he
fails to gain in this repcct he hopes to
offset IL securing number Of eonfed-
crate votes IN The eastern panhandle,
due to the fact that Mr.. Browns father
was union nnn during the late I'M
pleasantness.
On April 3, 1909, Ar. Sturgiss made
quite an exhaustive speech IN the
house Of representatives, IN which lie
asserted that to have coal on the flee
list would mean absolute ruinati0n to
the state of West Virginia. When the
tariff bill came up for final passage IN
the house 1t carried coal on the free
list MIR. Sturgiss voted for this bill and
consequently voted for few coal. In
veiw of the public statement that he
had made about year previtu us 1t Is
proven that our present congressman
is dominated and controlled by the
organization Of Cannon, Aldr1ch and
Payne, and his subservience to these
bosses is greater than il is 10 the will
of those who sent him to congress.
We might continue TO enumerate the
inconsistencies Of Mr.. Stnrgiss, but 1t
would be tax upon the reader, and
we believe that Sturgiss is unworthy
of further public trust with commits
sion from the people.
