LOCAL AND Personal
PEACE.

PEACE.
(By VIM. B. Taylor, Tampa.)
Peace, peace, a satisfying peace;
Bought by patriots precious blood.
Peace, peace, a guaranteed peace,
By an armistice made good.
A peace which reigns with all secure;
A peace unstained and unreserved,
Throughout the ages to endure.
A peace long sought and finally
gained;
A peace both holy and justified;
A peace among all nations to remain.
A peace, universal peace;
A peace which reigns sublime.
A peace, perpetual peace,
A peace God had in mind.

Years. The soldier is Private Ray

GUS stuff enough with us. We want
to be married and to be as near each
other as we can be, even II we can't.
Everything would have been all right
II Mr.. Norfeet had remained day
longer"
Private Ziegler did not learn of the
departure Of his beloved one until af.
ter they had gone. Possibly Mr.. Nor.
fleet was responsible for this. He,
with Miss Louise, left the Seminole
hotel, where they had been staying,
quite suddenly yesterday. They left
no forwarding address for their mail.
Young Ziegler came to me with
his love story" said Lieut.. Bruce H.
Carraway today, "and I advised him
not to marry, saying he would be
doing the girl an injustice as we'll as
himself, and that II he intended 10
marry he should wait until after the
war Is, over"
The soldier boy is detailed wiIn

lieutenant, as 1t hapepns. comes from
