his own kit and supplies, his pup tent

EVERY YEAR

by Albert Pike]
Life is a count of losses,
Every year;
For the weak are heavier crosses,
Every year;
Lost Springs with sobs replying,
Unto weary Autumn's signing,
While those we love are dying,
Every year;
The days have less of gladness,
Every year;
The nights more weight of sadn ess
Every year;
Fair Springs no longer charm us,
The winds and weather harm us,
The threats of death alarm us,
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrows,
Every year;
Dark days and darker morrows,
Every year;
The ghosts of dead loves haunt us,
The ghost, of changed friends taunt us,
And disappointments daunt us,
Every year.
To the Past 90 more dead faces,
Every year;
AS the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell US,
Every year;
'You can win no new affection,
Deeper sorrow and detection.
Every year."
Too true! Lies shores are shifting,
Every year;
And we are seward drifting,
Every year;
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There aye fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every year;
And its Morning Star climbs higher,
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows lighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
Every year.

Harris ebb.

Mrs. Lydia E. Webb, widow of the
late c. B. Webb, for many years a
resident of this city, was married at
Ada, Oklahoma, June %, to Capt.
Samuel H. Harris, a Confederate vet
eran. Her former husband died in
Ada about seven yeass ago. The Ada
News says:
THE bride has resided in Ada for
the past seven or eight years, her
mo. husband dying sometime after
they moved here. She is a true type
OF a lady of the Old South, and both
OF her marriages have been to Con-
federate veterans. She is a lady of
strong character and is highly re-
spected by large circle of friends in
Ada and elsewhere.
The groom spent many years in
Texas, but when that state had set
tied up until it was no longer a from
tier country, he being a typical pio-
neer, moved to the Indian Territory
and has seen this country developed
to its present proportions. He is
Confederate veteran and was one of
the organizers of the camp at Ada,
also serving two or three terms as
commander of the Chickasaw brigade
U. c. V. Many years ago he served
in the legislature of Texas and is now
serving the people of Pontotoc county
in similar capacity. He is the au-
thor of the law pensioning the Con-

GOOD ROADS

Kentucky's State Highway
Departments Must Sub
nit Plans.
SEN. BECKHAM'S WORK
kentucky Senator Member Of
Committee Which Worked
Out Plans.
SEN. BECKHAM'S WORK

Washington, Aug. Tt is now up
10 Kentucky and the other States of
the Union to avail themselves of the
financial help afforded through the
new good roads law from the United
States Treasury, the Secretary of Ag-
riCulture, who is authorized to carry
out the provisions of the law, having
notified each of the Governors that
the share of their State is available.
Kentucky will receive S97, 471.81. Be-
fore making the division among the
States, the Secretary of Agriculture,
as authorized by the law, deducted 3
per cent Of the first years allowance,
or $4,000, to be used in administer
ing the law.
Senator j. c. w. Beckham, Of Ken
lucky, as member Of the Senate
, Committee on Postofices and Post
roads, helped work out the bill which
is now law, and it promises to prove
one of the most popular and useful
pieces of legislation enacted by this
Congress. In other words it will aid
the city man and the country man
alike. 1t will be of especial value to
the farmer; as it tends to aid in bring
, ing to his door improved highways
making both for his pleasure and his
profit. The fact that the various
States, through taxation, will have to
pay but one-half of the total sum ex-
pended adds to the attractiveness of
the proposition.
Senator Beckham, discussing the
practical operation of the new road
law, said:
cUnder the provisions of the act,
the Highway department of any State
desiring to take advantage of the fed
.eral-aid provided must furnish the
Secretary of Agriculture statements,
setting forth the proposed construc-
fion of any rural postroad on which is
desired federal aid After the Secre-
tary of Agriculture approves the
nr0sct, the State highway depart
mept furnishes surveys, plans, speci-
ficstions and estimates. On the APP
proval of these by the Secretary of
Agriculture, he notifies the Secretary
of the Treasurer and thereupon the
latter sets aside the share which the
limited States is to pay for the inn
g1wFement

MAY BE CENTER OF BOOKS FOR BLIND National Body Plans to Make Birmingham Dis
 tributing Point

Books in embossed type for the blind are soon to become an important depart- ment of the Birmingham public library. It is announced that most of the money from the Helen Keller lecture will prob- ably be used in the purchase of books for this collection.
 It is also announced that the American Library association has plans on foot that will make the Birmingham public library the chief distributing agency for such books for the whole south.
 The statement is made that there is no collection of importance south of Cincinrati; that the only collections of importance in the United States are in Boston, New York, Albany, Philadelphia, Washington, Cincinnati and Sacramento.
 It is the plan of the American Library association committee on work for the blind to borrow books from one or two posed center and to advertise them to the blind people through the embossed maga- zines. It is not thought that the demand would ever become very heavy and there would be no expense involved other than that of correspondence and wrapping, for books for the blind are carried through the mails free of charge.
 Library Director Milan has written to the committee stating that the Birming- ham public library will accept the prof fered loan, and that it has 120 books in embossed type

Arrangements for capital have been made so amply that it is possible as much as $100,000.O0O may be invested in Alabama during the next 10 years.
 The plans contemplate going ahead either with or without government aid, although, of course, an effort will still be made to have the federal government give encouragement to the project of such magnitude.
 Yesterdays announcement simply means the carrying out of the company's plans on the Coosa river and at Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee river.
 ABOUT $3,OOO,OOO THIS YEAR
 Within the present year, according to Mir Chaplberlain's advices, nearly $3,00O,- COG will be spent in this part of the state.
 The first thing to be put under way is a new hydTo-eTectric power unit at Lock F, on the Coosa river. This unit will generate 17,5O0 horse power, and is to be finished by November 1 of this year. In connection with this work a crane and derrick system will be installed on the Coosa where the Louisville and Nashville railroad crosses the river for convenience in loading and unloading ma terial. The cost of these two projects is estimated at about $75000O,
 NEW STEAM PLANT
 Within the year the company also ex- poets to build a steam generating plant
