The reply to my poem by the
Bard of Scoona Valley
Would lead you to think was
just an old fogy.
Just because to help the girls |
would try,
Is no reason | should be called a
short haired guy.
It's true l was born before the
war, the date l don't remem-
Der,
But don't fool yourself and put
me down as back number.
For l keep up with the times,
always on the alert,
And would be up-to-date if
could stand the hobble skirt.
The Bard may like, all too short,
and very skant,
But l want you to understand
your Uncle Eli can't.
My pants have two legs just
like it ought to be done,
But these crazy girls have gone
and put both feet into one.
And the girl that used to walk
with so much ease and grace
Now has to bobble along in g
little swinging pace.
But now please don't look al
Cousin Sallie Ann,
For under the circumstances she
is doing the best she can.
Again say Clme turn backward
in your flight
And give US the girl with skir
not so tight.
These lines | send out will
Uncle Eli's best respects,
They may keep some of the girl
from breaking their necks.
To the Bard of Scoona Valley
whether a he or she poet,
Cloths to scarce in that skir
and he or she ought t
know it.
This poem ought to do good 70
many months hence,
For it's made up of egotism
truth and good common
sense.

Reply to Uncle Ell Perkins
From Calhoun Monitor

From Calhoun Monitor
In your longing for the girl
And the dress Of olden times,
Forget not " Uncle Eli"
We are ever on the climb,
And that when you went a
courting
Aunt Jerusha" as a lass
Some old fellow on the country
Was a cussin' fashions fast.
Yet twas neither hair nor habit
That made your heart quake
so,
Nor your willing lips to tremble
And your voice to quaver low,
But the smile of Lass Jerusha'
And Lass Jerusha's" frown
That made you worship where
she walked
And call it 'holy ground"
And we too, Uncle Eli,
Tho mayhap we don't ap-
prove
Of the tango dip" and bunny
hug"
Yet know that love is love;
And tho these fads be silly
And the dresses rather skant,
I've heard my father telling, toe
How his father used to rant.
So, in calling back the visions
Of those dear dead days Of
old
And Comparing US with those
that were,
Don't deal so harsh and cold,
For we love you, Uncle Eli,
And your tales of rhythmic
flow,
Because we now are where yoU
were
Some forty years ago,
Bard of Scoona Valley. y

 Rev. Mir. Grumbles during his stay in our city of more than a year has made many strong friends in our city outside of his congregation, who regret very much to see him leave. He has been a very conscientious and tireless worker for the upbuild- ing of his church interests and can always be counted on to as- sist in any way for the upbuild- ing of the morals and welfare of our city.

THE GOSPEL
 OF GOOD ROADS
As Citizens We Must Assume Or Postpone One Line of Public Progress Says
 Minister.

In a practical and timely di- rected sermon Sunday morning, Rev. l.. W. Heaton of St. Paul's church, from the text, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" from St. Mark 1915 urged upon his audience the value of roads in the progress of civilization and as a means of bettering the eco- homie and social welfare of our people.
 ''Two thousand years ago the world was in the course of prep aration for the advent of Mes siah who was to be an incarna- tiOn of the noblest attributes, the loftiest aspirations, and the purest thoughts of a race creat- ed in the image and after the likeness of the One Eternal God.
 To-day, the prophecy having been fulfilled, you and l are her aids of the King of Kings, sent forth to prepare all creatures for Him who shall come again in glorious majesty to judge the quick and the dead. In a manner we enter upon our task when- ever we employ our time, our talents, or our substance at any thing calculated to further the political, economic, or social well fare of the community in which we live.

 Hurst was the only witness for the defense. The receiver, Geo. Vaughan, testified that on June IF, when Hurst received a de- posit of $641 from J. A. Henry of Argenta, the liabilities of the bank were $178,644.78, and the assets $106,205.96.
 There will be a motion for a new trial, and in all probability an appeal to the supreme court, which will delay the case for some time yet.

Dr. Brough's Morning Address.

Dr. Brough of the State Uni yersity needs no word of intro duction to the citizens of New port. Dr. Brough came to New port in response to an invitation to address the members of the Mems Forward Movement. Dr. Trough at II a. m. was intro duced in the Baptist church by Rev. s. D. Grumbles as the speaker of the hour. In a pleas ing manner he painted word scenes of the Prince of Peace as He holds today the reins of jus tice, love and equity. His king dom was different from the en- pires founded by Caesar, Alex ander, Charlemagne and Napole- on. The four designated war riors who moved amid the clash of arms, and the fire of cannon, leaving fields crimson with the blood of the martyred heroes, founded great empires and de- tended them by the power of the golden sword; but they stood upon the insecure foundation of fear, and soon faded away, leav- ing dust alone to tell the world of the site of a once proud king dom of earth.
 The Prince of Peace reigns to- day in the second place because He embodied in his ethical teach ings the story of the "Immor- taIity of the Soul" He success fully taught the fundamental principle because His kingdom was founded upon love, and the principles of his government were eternal and in1mutable. The speaker said that all men believe in the principle which blooms as the Flower of Immor- tality.
 Jesus reigns because He ex- hibited to the world by act, look and devotion the doctrine of social service. He came not to be ministered unto but to min- ister, the significant fact that unquestionably proves the dig nity of the doctrine of social ser vice in a sin cursed world. Jesus reigns today because He gave to the universe the funda- mental teachings of a bright, happy life upon this mundane sphere as the eye of the soul an- ticipates the dawn of eternal life upon the shores of the Celestial City, where Christ the fulfill ment of all love, rules among
 the angels of glory and among
 the inhabitants of the earth.

Enforcement of Federal Game
 Law.

Enforcement of Federal Game
 Law.
 Special to Independent.
 l Little Rock, March 23.- There seems to be a certain el- ement of people in Arkansas who are willing to resort to any means that may prejudice the minds of others against the en- forcement of a law that places restrictions around them," says B. V. Visart, federal game in- spector for the State of Arkan- sas.
 He calls attention to the fact that for two months before he began the enforcement of the law for the protection of migra- tory birds, he gave warnings through the press and otherwise and did all in his power to fam iliariZe the people with the new law, and now there is scarcely e. ven an ignorant negro in re- mote section of the state who does not know there is a feder- al law prohibiting the killing of certain birds and water fowl.
 And that element of people whose whole desire seems to be to kill and slaughter" says Mir. Visart, "but have no desire to protect, realize that the new law has met with favor among our farmers, and not being able to convince the farmer that it is a bad law, have undertaken to pre- judice the minds of the people against it's enforcement by cir culating false reports such as have just come to my notice. There is report being cir culated that l as an officer per- suaded man to go hunting with me and after permitting him to kill a duck, arrested him. So far as l am individually con- cerned, I would pay no attention to such reports, but for the bene- fit of those who may be misled, ! wish to state that there is ab- solutely not a word of truth in the report, and that it was no doubt started by an enemy to the cause.
 "The nearest that could be a case of this kind was that of man arrested at Redfeld. In Mallory we ran across man who had stopped his boat and T ''camped near the duck shooting 1 grounds. He told us of killing ducks the day before, and while walking together. warned him of the federal law. He cursed the law and the game wardens, and soon after a duck flew over and he killed it. l placed him under arrest, but when he was taken before the commissioner, I stated the facts, and asked that sentence be suspended, which was done.
 "I shall continue to warn the people, and use every effort to keep them out of trouble, but l will play no favorites, and when ever I hear of a violation of the federal game law, l shall use every effort in my power to bring
 the guilty party to justice.
