IN MEMORIAM.

Grandpa pinched his tuning-fork a
many years ago.
And then he ran his shape-note scale
of "Fa-so-la-se-do,"
OF "Do-ra-me," and "Fa- sofia" and
'Fa-so-l la Sc do"
His songbook was the Sacred Harp"
it opened at the end
And Grandma sang the "tribble," for
to make their voices blend
In "Dor-rame," and "Fa- so-la," to
make their voices blend.
"Amazin' Grace" and Jordan
Banks" and THE Uncloudei
Day"
They sang without an organ. and
they sang just hathaway;
A "Do-ra-me," and "Fa-so-la." they
sang Just that-a-way.
The old folks looked to heaven as a
place of endless song
And hoped the angels use shape-notes,
or else they might go wrong,
Do-ra-me," and "Fa-so-la," or else
they might go wrong.
Children Of the heavenly King"
journeyed they along;
They left their book ana tuning fork,

OF "Do-ra-me." and "Fa-so-la." they
took to heaven their song.

Arrests December, 1915.

During tho December term Of tho
Corporation Court the writer was
present as a spectator for several
days The atmosphere was surcharged
with temperance sentiment
From another reliable source
wives and mothers-I have cleaned
information. They tell me that a
new peace has entered their homes
Lastly from victims themselves I
have caught words with n grateful
and a Joyous ring After this man
ner one speaks, Many old people are
like children, they need father. This
Mapp law is q father to me-"
To tell you, Mr.. Editor, that you are
criticized by good people for giving
so much space to anti-liquor news will
surely not be information to you. The
writer believes that your special work
is still necessary. AS people see the
fruits OF your labor of love they will
repent of their ungenerous criticism.
Endure 1t now, for you are earning
gratitude that will be passed on to
children's children.
1t occurs TO me that a text book
added to the public school curricu-
lum would serve to perpetuate tenn
perance sentiment. This might give
horrible facts and emphasize the stu
pidity of our fathers. In the course
of time the temperance papers hay-
ing no targets may disband, and Satan
may stealthily induce social laggards
and mammon devotees to assert their
personal liberty again.
