Old Friends Are Best.

Old friends are best!
Old forms, old hearts. old faces
That haunt the memory of the pas
sing years,
And seem to dwell among deserted
places,
Reproving us for all our nameless
fears.
Old friends are best!
The roses softly blowing
Close by the door, they always seem
to say
"Old friends are BEST" although
we're never knowing
Where they are faring at the close of
day.
Old friends are best!
Somehow the memory clinging
Brings back the faces that we used
to know,
And in the winter of the heart are
ringing
Tee songs we loved so many years
ago.
Old friends are best!
When autumn twilight falling
Brings respite from the daily toll and
care
seem to hear their vibrant voices
calling,
Although [ know know they are
not there.

The entire parish registered
only 1880, with 225l signing
pledge cards and only 62 babies
registered.
The belief prevailed in many
localities, that registration meant
they would be promptly called
out of their homes for service,

Registration is solely for the

construction of the bridge across

upon by the officials of the two
counties and nothing SHOULD be
left undone to have the work
started at the earliest possible

ple who would be against voting
a tax for the bridge but there
never WIS an Improvement "i
any kind that some did not ob'

stands that Pearl River County
has their part Of the necessary

in some other manner, we know
that it is an Improvement that j

there is no bridge across tn
