PACIFIC BUYS
 26,OOO TONS OF RAIL HERE

from the Southern Pacific lines.
 The railroad invariably buys rail re- quirements one year in advance. Last September the company placed an order here for 15.000 tons which is to be deliV- cred during June, July and August of thls year. That order was announced at that time. This order is new business. and while it is for delivery next year, it never theless gives cause for optimism and en- oouragement The rails will be used for relaying purposes. The company has al this time a sufficient amount of orders to justify operations at the present rate practically during the entire summer

Death of Mr.. X. A. Bryan.

Mr.. R. A. Bryan, who was familiar
ly known among his intimates as
"Pete." died at his home in Clifton
vile last Saturday morning at five
O'Clock after months of suffering. and
after making strong fight for life.
which. before the accident that befell
him last September, held as much pro-
mise as any young man in the county.
Mr.. Bryan was born in Pickens coun-
ty, Alabama. and was about S5 years
of age. When about IL years Of age
he came to this county to make his
home with his uncle. Mr.. c. c. Acker,
who was until death several years ago,
one Of the most prominent farmers of
the county. Mr.. Acker at his death
left good portion of large estate to
his nephew, and Mr.. Bryan since has
been recognized as one of the most
progressive young farmers in the prair-
les. He was terrible hurt last Septem-
Der when a gasoline grist mill that he
udu just puTCIdscu hiIu Woo oupSi''o
ing its erection fell on him and broke
several ribs, crushing his jaw and 9TH
erwise injured him. He was taken to
a hospital in Columbus where he was
confined several months. About a
month ago he went to a hospital in
Memphis for treatment and after re-
turning home developed case of APP
pendicitis. DR.. Turner, of Meridian,
was called in consultation with DR..
Stanley. of Macon, and DR.. Lusk. of
Cliftonville. but Mr.. Bryan's condition
was SO weak from the suffering he Ihad
endured for months, it was thought in
advisable to perform an operation that
would entirely relieve him and only a
''stab" wound was made to drain any
pus that would form from the imitation
in his appendix. The chance for his
recovery was very small, and death re-
suited, as stated above at five O'Clock
last Saturday morning.
He was married several years ago to
Miss Leila Stanley, of Columbus and his
remains were taken to that city for in
torment.

HOW A SMALL BOY MAKES LOVE

In the April American Magazine
Ellis Parker Butler writes another
small boy story in his new series.
This months story is entitled, "Teach-
er's Pet" and in the following ex-
tract the small boy talks about his
girl:
"Her name is Milly. / haven't said
anything about marrying her yet
not to her or anybody-but I've car
ried her books three or four times
and | hit her in the back of the head
with a soft SNOWFALL, and | guess she
likes mi too. She threw a SNOWFALL
back at me when l hit her and then,
when | washed her face for her with
snow, she just said, ooh, Georgel You
mean thing!' as if she might be will
ling to marry me sometime if | got
nerve enough to ask her when were
grown up. / wonder how a fellow
gets nerve to ask them. I don't think
I'll ever have"

ARTIFICIAL MOTHERS FOR
LITTLE CHICKENS.

In the April Woman's Home Com
panion appears an article about u
try life in April, in which the comic
aspect of artificial mothers for little
chickens is brought out as follows:
"We had four artificial mothers or
breeders, supposed to take r of
fifty infant chicks each, but as the
birds grew rapidly they soon began
to crowd, and were far less vigorous
and healthy than they might have
been with more room.
"The joke makers have had endless
fun with the incubator, but the real
absurdities belong to the breeders.
There is where mechanical mother
hood appears in its most truly ridicu-
lous guise. Even our good farm
neighbor Mr.. Handy had never used
one, while Louis Fresno and Mrs. Lou
is had never seen one. When we
showed them those four old hens
made up or coarse cloth fastened to a
boiler cover and heated with kerosene
lamps, and tried to explain that they
would take the place of sixteen cluck-
ing old biddies, why Louis and wife
simply refused to believe in it."

THE QUICK PASSING OF YOUTH.

In the April American Magazine
David Grayson, writing his story
"Hempfield," gives a wonderful ac-
count of Norton Carr, the young edi-
tor of a country newspaper. In the
following passage he comments on
Carr's youth and reflects on his own:
Mort had jumped up, thrust his
hands deep in his pockets, and was
tramping up and down the room shak-
ing his name like a young lion. l
confess that for a moment | was
tempted to laugh at him-and then
suddenly l did not ARE at all to laugh.
Something in the wild youth of him
the bold thoughts, stirred me to the
depths. The magic of youth, waving
The fresh runne catching up the
torch that has fallen from the slack
hand of age! | have had my dreams,
too, Mort. | dreamed once
81 dreamed once of seeing the very
truth of things. AS | worked alone
in my fields, with the great world all
open and beautiful around me, | said
to myself, 4 will be simple, / will not
dodge or ~prevaricate Or excuse; | will
see the whole of lifer | confess now
with some sadness (and humor, too,)
that | have not mastered the wonders
of this earth, nor seen the truth of it.
. | heard a catbird singing in the
bush, a friend stopped me by the road
side, there was a star in the far heav-
ens-And when l looked UP | was old,
and Truth was vanishing behind the
hill.
Something of all this / had in my
thoughts IS Mort talked to me; and it
came to me, wistfully, that perhaps
this burning youth might really have
in him the genius to see the truth of
things mor clearly than | could, and
tell it better than l could.
EYES, l said, If one could only see
this Hempfield of ours as it really is,
all the poetry of it, all the passion of
it, all the dullness and mediocrity, all
the tragedy of failure, all that is in
the hearts and souls of these common
people-what a thing it would be!
How it would stir the world"
