contemplating them; yet-with Pap's
talking they did seem to.
"And, you know" he went on in
that mellow voice, "they stand for
something. Sometimes, I'm sadlike,
being poor and having little boys that
can't afford the pretty things their
friends have. But them stars sort O.
quiet me, and just sit and listen for
the things that come to me in the
twilight"
A cloud of smoke from the pipe
bowl curled lazily about his white
head and dissipated into the night.
The silence seemed to answer with a
voice-this man had suffered, hoped,
toiled. He had softened the ashen
crust with tears and at last his heart
had opened to that great love Of race.
Selfshness had not calloused the SYM
pathies, poverty had not embittered
life. The withered blossom memory
laid upon the crown of thorns had
poisoned while out Of the twilight
flowed a river of peace, healing the
wounds of war.
AS days passed and others were
known they told of Pap's toll for other
folks. That country had its widows
and orphans and he was just Pap to
them all, dividing and giving until
the twilight of age found him empty
handed at a cabin door.
"And no matter how tired" said one,
che allus is ready to fiddle for a
party"
Then, one day, resident pointed
lonely place upon hill. There were
perhaps fifty mounds-and each one
was decorated with a bouquet of wild
dandelion gathered from the fields.
"Pap done hit" he said. HE allus
does hit ever spring; hits sort O.
weakness, | reckon"
Tonight there comes vision of a
cabin like a pearl of peace gathered
from life's wreck and storm. Before
the door sits an old man, listening to
the voices of fatherless children and
saying prayer. Above are many
stars to smile upon the holly hooks,
and bird sings in the woods close by.
The man is Pap and-it's twilight
time back in Tennessee.

A TENNESSEE
TWILIGHT
BY FRANK GRAVES.

Some men possess sensibilities which
have been cultivated through life of
genial impressions. To converse with
such man is to perceive through his
appreciative vision the beauties and
values which were and are. Such a
man was Pap whose pseudonym
was an expression of friendly affec-
ton given by his neighbors. 1t was
late evening when first we met and he,
leaning over the buggy wheel, extend
ed toll worn hand, saying:
"Get out; this is home, and there's
always vacant chair for a stranger"
These words were more than a well
come, they were bearers of spiritual
gift-sincere words from friend.
Later, as we sat and smoked before
the cabin steps, he pointed to the dis
tant hills, where the forest, now in
the shadow of twilight, became mys-
tic belt of solitude above which shone
the earliest of evenings stars
"And twilight" he unused, lis a
time for friends to get together. The
heart is warmer after labor is done
the stars make us tenderer, some how"
The man turned genial, fine eyes,
and the listener read therein the mean
ing of the years spent midst seeding
and harvest-summer and snow. The
surroundings were filled with his spir-
it, and this man revealed something
of these hills and wales that would not
otherwise have impressed.
"And twilight is time O. dreams"
he continued. "a voice in the wind
recalls the departed; the sob o. the
rain in the willows makes me think o.
the dead years when came hither
from the dying lines-bringing half a
heart to the labor of blowing and reap
ing. had seen and felt the horrible
had seen my country crucified while
casting my poor offering at her feet
with the hope that death would heal
my broken heart. And it was twilight
when lass came down to a spring
by the. road and filled a gourd for my
parching lips. And a twilight prayer
reconsecrated me to land that moth
cred this girl.
Twilight came again and we mar
ried, with the hooking birds singing
the wedding march. From then UNI
til now the twilights have been sacred
to me-"
As he ceased speaking, there came
the voice Of children repeating their
prayer. The flame of the smoky lamp
wavered in the wind-and this scene
of humble poverty was blessed. Grand
sons and daughters had come to take
the great words of deathless ideals
from Pap's lips. Their spirits were
to grow like his, and because of him
the twilight would be forever sacred.
His brow was lofty and beautiful,
his features rugged and splendid with
the burrows of strength. Why had he
not amassed wealth. Did not he know
that men are measured by the dollar
standard? Then why had opportunity
passed? He might have approprita-
ed acres, extorted fortunes by the deft
handling Of means.
He sat there unrealizing the
thoughts in the mind of his guest. But
the answer to that question lay in
that face-those eyes.
Tell me-" he began, "Don't them
stars make you feel good?"
Well-it had never occurred that
this was the exact emotion aroused by

COOPERATIVE CREAMERY
DOES BIG BUSINESS
Franklin County Plant Shows Increase
in Returns-FactOry Built
in 1910.

Winchester, Tenn, Sept 11.-Citi-
Gems of Franklin county feel they have
answered all doubts and questions as
to the possibilities of a cooperative
creamery association.
The Franklin Creamery Association
organized at Winchester in 1910, at an
original cost Of $1,000 has increased
to its present valuation of $4,000,
which does not count the advance in
location or business but simply the
amount Of new machinery and i'm
provements on the building.
Butter from this creamery goes in
carload lots to Philadelphia and New
York City, the operators of the cream
cry receiving Elgin prices or better.
In 1918 the association did business
of $2S,652.02, receiving for the fat an
average price of Bic. In 1914 the
business increased to $53,912.81, the
average price o. butter fat being 81
1-2 c. Nineteen hundred and fifteen
saw business of SIS, 1886 on an av-
erage price Of zoe for butter fat. For
the first seven months of 1916 bust
ness has amounted to $50,916.30, with
an average price on butter fat of 33c.
When the creamery started, there
were $50 cows supplying the cream
cry, representing 80 patrons. Now
there are 247 patrons and over 2,700
cows. All Of the original patrons are
with the organization with the excep-
ton Of two or three.
The cows are not all to be found
in Franklin county; many are in other
counties in Tennessee, some in Ala
bama. The officers Of the association
are DIR. ]. o. Templeton, president; W.
L. Lipscomb, vice president; w. J. Ar
mold, vice-president; ]. F. Scharber,
vice-president; F. E. Pittinger, secre-
tray and treasurer; J. P. Frassrand,
