The Home Town Bard.

If Homer sang of ancient Troy, adding to Illium's $ renoun, why shouldn't 1 my gifts employ? Why shouldn't 1 praise my home town? If other bards of stately Rome have sung in un- forgotten verse, why shouldn't 1 boost my home town in poetry that might be worse? Troy was all right, her walls were good, l., and, save for Grecian craft and guile that made a hobby horse of wood, might have held out a little while Rome, struggling over seven hills (to climb which must have been some task) did- n't begin to have the mills that our town has, if you should ask.
 Both Rome and Troy have had their day (the latter place was set atire) their pomp and glory gone the way of hapless Ninevah and Tyre. Our town is young but growing fast; it's Opportuni- ties excell, and though we have no storied past, the future will our story tell Though. too, no Coliseum grand have we. nor Circus MaXlmuS, our homs town is plenty go d enough for us. Athens had her Acropolis; it couldn't have been more impos ing than our new school build ing is, as 1 might emphasize in closing. The center of a farm ing belt, the very richest in the stste, 'tis here prosperity is felt; our market is a golden gate and lest you :hink that 1 distort the fact in flowing verse-Just wait-Here is the last census report: you'll find it don't ex- aggerate.

Or. Charles Lee Crawford

Dr. Charles Lee Crawford was born in Monroe county, Mo. Aug, 20, 1895. He joined the Method ist church at McFall, Mo. 1888, of which he was a member till death. He graduated from the Physicians and Surgeons College of St Louis 1890. and began the practice of Medicine in Bethle- hem, Ky. He was married to Miss Carrie Claxton,' May 17th, 1891; to which union three child ren were born: Chester Albert, Willie Agnes, and Charles L.. Jr. Dr. Crawford was one of twins. He is survived by one sister and four brothers: Mrs. Ora Brewer, McFall, Mo; J. D. Crawford, McFall, Mo-; Geo. Crawford, Fayette, Mo; John F. Crawford, Colum bia, Mo; and Dr. w. E. Crawford, Council Grove, Kans.
 The tragical death of pr. Crawford occurred Sept. 12th, 1915. While attempting to assist in the arrest of a crazed negro, he was one of the innocent vic tins.
 About three years ago Dr. Crawford with his family moved from Dexter, N. M.. to Carlisle. where he had greatly endeared himself in the hearts of the peo- pie; both as a citizen and Physi- clan. As citizen, he was loyal and progressive. Always found ready to do anything for the wei fare of the town and community As a physician, he was very compitent. In the sick room he scarcely could be excelled 1T patience, kindness and endur ance.
 Fsr a number of years pr Crawford had been steward 1T
 
 the Methodist Church whicf work he dearly enjoyed, and al ways anxious for the welfare O the Church and for the. pastor.
 A good man, a good citizen. { good physician, good husband and a loving father has gone from us.in an untimely way. II ways innumerable, his place cal not be filled.
 May the peace of God whicl passeth all understanding keeI his surviving wife and three children in this hour of sore trouble; and may they lool through the dark cloud to tn, time of uniting again.
 Respectfully,

 Pastor,
