Moscow.
RETRosPECTIoE.
Ashes and Dust and Wreckage,
Wierd ghosts of Wasted Days,
Idols broken, words unspoken-
And the debt that Memory pays.
The flower without fruition,
The seed that was left unsown,
The grain that was never garnered-
And the tares to Conscience known.
Friends that have failed as fully, W
Hopes that are shattered and fed,
Sorrows that broke and crushed us
The sheeted and shrouded Dead.
But the old years failures behind US,
Its shackles are laid away,
And we face unhampered another
chance
That comes with the New Years Day
Kathleen Baldwin. Moscow Tenn.
The above poem was composed by
Miss Kathleen Baldwin, daughter of
]. H. Baldwin, one of our best citizens,
and Vice-President of the Moscow
Savings Bank. The piece appeared in

which we take it. Coming from a
home" young lady naturally causes
US to feel great pride in this splendid
effort of this estimable young lady.
W. A. Thomas was awarded the
the public road working in this district
for the present year. Mr.. Thomas

district.
For earache---boil an egg hard,

The true Christian will some sweet

The shooting affair between local
citizens during the past week is re-
GREETED by the friends of both parties.

1t is not too early for town officials
to think over the matter of clean and
healthy community before the hot
weather arrives. There are places in
Moscow that should be put into a more
sanitary condition. A hog pen should
not be allowed inside the town limits.
1t is surpri sing to US that every citizen
here does not insist upon ahealthy con-
dition of their town, and cooperate to
that end.

growl and kick.

Memphis and return to his home in
Somerville. His kind feeling for his
fellow in trouble in this case nearly
cost him his life. We can only say,
God be merciful to such people as these
