HAPPY UNDER BURDENS.

Il will start anew tomorrow morning
With a higher, fairer creed;
! will cease to stand complaining
OF my ruthless neighbours greed;
! will cease to sit repining
While my duty's call is clear;
! will waste no moment whining
And my heart shall know 10 fear.
II will look look sometimes about me
For the things that merit praise;
! will search for hidden beauties
That elude the grumbler's gaze;
l will try to find contentment
In the path that ! must tread;
] will cease to have resentment
When another moves ahead.
~ win not be swayed by envy
When my rivals strength is shown;

But I'll strive to show my own;

Spread before me rain or shine;

And be more concerned with

WATCH YOUR WORDS.

Keep watch Of your words, dear
trater,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet like bees fresh
honey
Like bees, they have terrible
stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten a lonely life,
They car cut in the bitter contest
Like an OPEN, t~wo-edged knife.
LET them pass through the lips I'M
challenged,
If their errand is true and kind
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind;
If a bitter, revengeful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be I'M
said;
They may flash through the brain like
lightning,
Or fall on the heart like lead.
keep them back if they are cold or
cruel,
Under bar and lock and seal;
The wounds they make, dear Frater,
Are always slow to heal.
May peace guard your fires and ever
From the time of your early youth,
May the words that you daily utter
Be the words of beautiful truth"

FREE THANKSGIVING CAR FOR
THE JACKSON ORPHANAGES.

To the Public:
We are planning to run . car for
the Methodist and Baptist Orphanages
from Clarksdale via Greenwood to va
zoo City, Nov. 21, 1916, and n from
Tutwiler via Moorhead to Jackson
Nov. 81, 1916, and we are anxious to
make a success of it, both for the sake
of the railroads who have so kindly
granted it, and for the sake of our
children, who will be greatly benefited
by it. May we depend upon you to
take the matter up in your community
and interest, with you, such Others as
will push the work, and will you, with
them, see all the people in your COM
munity and give them a chance to con-
tribute literally to this car!
The car plan is a great success
where it is well worked. On account
of the boil weevil and other conditions
in certain sections of our State, the
contributions will necessarily be cut
off, so we shall need to make an extra
effort for contributions in money and
provisions for our orphan children.
In the two orphanages we have
more than $50 children to be fed,
clothed and warmed. Besides what
money you can give, they a use any
thing to eat or wear, for girls or boys
from 2 to 16 years old. Get your peo-
pie to send molasses, corn, flour, su-
gar, grits, cured meats, lard, all kinds
of canned goods, all kinds of dishes,
and boxes of clothing, shoes, hats,
hose, elastic, soap, pins, needles,
thread, buttons, pencils, tablets, quilts,
blankets, sheets, pillowcases and
towels.
The railroads are better pleased
when we fill the cars well, and 50 are
our orphan children. Appoint a solic-
iting committee, get them to secure
contributions of goods, then arrange
with some ore to carry them to the
depot in due time, and the car will
pick it up and carry it to Jackson.
Mark every package plainly-either
to the Methodist or Baptist Orphan
age. Please see to that.
Write or see Rowan Thayer or DR..
W. T. johnson, Greenwood, Miss.
Trusting you, we are, yours for the
children,

Vermont will have eight delegates to
the Chicago convention. Four years
ago no one of the eight was selected
from Bennington county, consequently
this year Bennington county should be
permitted to fill ore of the places. So
far as The Banner knows no one from
this county is seeking place on the
delegation, but there is no lack of ma
terial. Among those who might be
suggested are Alexander j. Cooper
and Collins NJ. Graves of Bennington,
Frank C. Archibald Of Manchester and
