WORD PICTURE OF HEAVEN

The following word picture,
suggestive Of some of the glories
of the great beyond, was received
for publication from one of our
readers this week:
What Heaven is [ know not, but
[ long have dreamed of its purple
hills and it's fields of light, bios
soming with immortals beauty;
of its brooks of laughter, it's riv-
ers of song, and it's palace of
eternal love, l have dreamed that
every bird which sings it's life
away here may sing forever there
in the tree of life, and every con-
secrated soul that suffers on this
mortal coil, rests among the flow
ers and loves forever. [ long have
dreamed of opal towers and bur
nished dome, but what care | for
gates of pearl or streets of gold,
if [ can meet the loved ones who
have blessed me here; and see
the glorifed faces of mother and
brothers, who died among the
bursting buds of hope, and take
into my arms the loved ones who
fell asleep in years gone by. Our
Father who art in Heaven, what
care I.for crown of stars and
harp of gold, if l can love, laugh
and sing with them forever in the
smile Of my Savior and my God.

To the Honorable j. M. Carter,

We have examined all the Grim

ton of the offices of the county,
the county clerk, circuit clerk,
sheriff and treasurer. This com
mittee reported that they found
all the books and records of the

ported that they found things
nicely, neatly and well kept. They
recommend that some very badly

galleries Of the main building,
consisting Of new stills, sleepers
and floor; also new locks on the
doors of the dwelling house. They
report three male inmates and one
female inmate, which are all well
clothed and fed.
We visited the county jail in
body and found the same in good
condition except the front porch,
which needs new stills, sleepers
and floor. We recommend that
/ these repairs be made as soon as
possible. We found the prison
ers well clothed and fed, accord
ing to their own report to US. We
would also recommend that new
cutters be put on three corners
Of the court house, and one cor
ner where the water has washed
several bricks out should be re-
/ paired as soon as possible, before
more and serious damage is done
| to the building.
