DEPRESSION.


All the landscape somhre miss slowly veilng.
Drip the dull cold rains along the famished plain;
though winds have ceased their sulen wains
Still my heart tnrobs with It's old insistent pam.
Down dry holows noisy rivues swring
Where the melting bill and vale
Yet the skies, dropping, but darky furlng
Hopes that erstwhile made spirit glad and hale.
Dim and ehostly shows my neighbofs rooftree yonder
By the forest where the stricken coils:
Thus mind, but halfway conscious ponder
On life failures that bold in their tolls.
Hint Of blue shy dawns above the cleaning never.
Closer folds the pail Of needless, heavy gloom
As fancy, shadowed BY msgving,
Paints its palid pictures through the murky
Hegh.hoi burly winter, why hast thou forsaken
Days Of bracng sunshine, nights Of starry cold?
Come again, with wild winds and rage, but waken
Currents of good feeling loving happy, bold.

BUSINESS MEN!

Wouldn't you like to have your sons qualified to conduct a set of books in a wholesale house or na- tional bank in a great city where the clearing house system is in demand and must be understood? The op- portunity is right at your door at little cost. Is not this question worthy of your investigation and considera- ton? If you wish to know something of our past record, here is one from Tennessee: If you desire a commer- cial education, come and take the work under Prof. J. E. Wootton, our business college principal. He is one of the leading commercial educators of the South, and, in our judgment, the strongest, most energetic and best equipped commercial teacher west Tennessee ever had. Did you ever study business under a master? If the merits of this mans work could be generally known we could not ac-. cOmmodate our enrollment-W R. RICHARDSON, President Southern University, Huntington, Tenn" Do not depend on what you read. Come at once to 34 North Center St and let us bring convincing facts before your eyes. Respectfully. J. E.

Add more flour as necessary. tc1 roll Cut in rounds with doughnut cut ter or otherwise and fry in Cottolene in deep kettle. Cottolene should be about three inches deep and be heated gradu- ally to proper temperature.
 Doughnuts fried in lard lie like lead on the stomach; lard is indigestible. Cottolene, on the contrary, makes food that even a child can digest with ease.
