Of course the suns rays shine more

shine about an hour and q half less

A SAD AFFAIR

Several month ssince there came
TO Summerfield from Oregan a man
by the name of William Byrd, who
purchased a farm and improved the
same. After building his house and
getting things in ship shape, he sent
for his intended wife, whom he met at
Ocala, and was married. This man
led quiet life on his farm, and by
his industry seemed to be doing well
and his prospects were bright.
Little did this community suspect
that William Byrd was a fugitive from
justice until yesterday, when a sher-
if from the state of Oregon arrived
here with a bench warrant. which
was served on him at his farm. Mr..
Byrd was charged with horse stealing
and other crimes. and was taken back
to the scene of his wrong-doings last
Wednesday night to answer to the
charges. The man had won the re-
spect and friendship of his neighbors
and they feel sorry for him, and es-
pecially his young wife, and they be-
lieve that he came here to atone for
his crimes and to try to lead a good
life and later make reparations to
those whom he wronged.-Summer

The Question Answered

IF man die shall he live again?
CBy Annie z. Basgett.)
4 storm on the ocean,
A stone On the track,
( An awful explosion,
! A step On tack,
A slide On the mountain,
! 4 cyclone surprise.
A faint In the fountain,
A bolt from the skies,
A blow in the shadow.
4 shot IN the dark,
| 4 fang IN the meadow,
A lunge Of the bargue,
A feyer's slow wasting,
A rheum in the blood,
| An error In tasting,
A fire or food,
| The lack Of q penny,
A stroke Of the SUI
The ways-they are many;
The end-it is one.
The prospect is certain.
On land or on wave,
Death uplifts a curtain
| And opens grave.
/ The sod closes over
The face Of our friend
But where is the lover?
And is this the end?
Here all that was mortal
In features and form
Each bone, nerve and muscle
! Is perfect and norm,
/ The marvellous structures
Of eye and Of brain
| All things Of the body
Intact still remain;
But the eyes loving glances,
The voice and the touch
Where are they? where are they?
We miss them so much.
Aye, Ashes 10 ashes,
And Dust unto dust"
For nature cOnseryeth
What she holds in trust;
Again 10 her keeping
The clay we return
Our loss and our weeping
Are not her concern.
The wonderful body,
So perfectly made,
On spirit foundations
Was skillfully laid,
Each part 10 part fitting
The seen and unseen
And the spirit in fitting
Has left it's machine
To sure dissolution.
These mortal remains
BY the spirit were moulded,
The spirit retains
Its form and affections
In a universe where
All things are of spirit:
Earth, sky, sea and air,
The world within this world,
The life and the cause
OF all things in nature,
BY unchanging laws.
A world not less real
Than love that mourns loss,
But the longed-for ideal,
The gold without dross.
Some day when Gods wisdom
Shall see we are fit
To make the transition,
His love will permit
Our blessed reunion;
And as we are known,
Shall we know each other;
No longer alone,
No distance 10 journey,
No ages TO wait.
When He sends His angel
TO open the gate;
The loved and the loving
Shall gather again
In region where parting
Can never give pain.
The whole world weeps with us:
Wide-sown are the seeds
OF death and of sorrow.
Each soul hath its needs
OF the regeneration
LIES woes will insure
To all in temptation
Who faithful endure.
Our friend has not persisted,
For him still goes on
| The life that we cherished
In fullness unknown
In this world of duh senses.
No longer he sees
Earths shallow pretences,
But heavens verities;
For he loved eternal
And heavenly things,
And blessings supernal
Such love ever brings.
When we shall be like him
And meet face to face,
No power can part us
In the souls dwelling place.

Reasons Why You Should Carry an
Account With a Bank.

Because your money Is safer in a bank
than elsewhere.
Because a bank account helps and en-.
courages you to save.
Because paying bills by check is the
simplest and most convenient, and the
check becomes receipt.
Because a check book is safer to
carry around than a wallet with money
in it; if the check book is lost you have
lost nothing; with the purse its different.
Because a bank account gives you a
standing in the community.
Because you are building up val
liable asset when you establish your

THE @ACKsMrrH SHOP.

Say,
l heard the clink of an anvil today
over the way;
The street was full or city sounds
That Jared the ear,
But ringing clear
above them all
| heard that anvil clink
To the hammers fall,
And ii made me think
OF other things than city sounds
Which seem no less
Than cries OF effort in distress
And everlasting resrlessness.
that anvil clink
Made me think
OF a Little old blacksmith shop
Rack yonder, where | used to stop
And loaf in the shade;
Where, as a boy, l played
Many a game of marbles in the road,
The dusty road
That ran before
It's door.
oh, say,
Nothing Ike mat comes my way
Today.
My, my,
How time does fly.
Back yonder we'd stop
At the blacksmith shop
And hang around the door
! To hear the bellows roar
And watch the blacksmith thump
The red-hot iron and make the big
sparks jump;
And, oh,
Wouldn't we go
When he'd swing
| The iron around and sling
The sparks right at Us Well l guess
Yes.
And, say,
The way
He could shoe a horse was grand!
/ We'd stand,
Saucer-eyed, and watch him shave
M rasp
And fit and nail-and the smell!
Well,
1t wasn't exactly like r~ose-kissed air
But we didn't care,
No, sir; we'd stay right there.
And I'll bet
It's the same in the country yet,
And there's many a kid
Doing just the same as we did.
But its different, somehow.
In the city now,
And that anvil clink
Could only make me think
OF the old days
and the simple ways.
Still, that amt so bad,
And I'm glad
1t does what it can
To make life better for a city man
Like me.
