THE ISLAND.
{ christopher Niorle5

4 Song Tor England
Nay, what is a song Tor England
our hearts 20 by ereen-ehffed kinsaIe
Among the gulls white wings.
Or where, on kentisl forelands, pale
The lighthouse beacon swings
Our hearts go up the Mcrsey's tide
Come in on Suffolk foam
The blood that will not be denied
Moves fast, and cills lis home!
Our hearts now walk secret round
On many a Cots'vold hill,
For We are mixed of island ground,
The island draws ua still
Our hearts may pact windy turn
Where Sussex do ans are high,
And watch the lights Of London burn
4 bonfire IN the ky
What Is the virtue oi that soil
That filings her strength SO WIDE?
Her ancient courage patient toll,
Tier stubborn wordless pride?
A little land, yet loved therein
As any land may be,
Rejoicing IN her discipline,
The salt stress of the sea.
Our hearts shall walk Sherwood track,
Our lips taste English ram,
We thrill TO sec the Mon Jack
Across some dcep-sea lane;
Though all the world be of rich cost
And marvellous with worth,
Yet ii that island ground were lost
How empty were the earthl
4 song for England?
Lo, every word We speak song 10

Celebrates Goth Birthday.

Miss Mary Bette Hays Fri
day celebrated her Goth birth
day at her home on East Main
street, Miss Hays was born in
Barnesville, Montgomery county,
Maryland, in 1923, and lived
there until she was about twen-
ty-one years of age, when she
came to Missouri. Miss Hays en-
joys remarkable health, at her
age, and goes about her daily
tasks with the same vigor as
those of fewer years. She and
her brother, Richard Hays of
this city, now 81 year old, are
the sole survivors of family Of
eight children. Her many friends
in this community wish her
many more happy birthdays.

William E. Bandon Volunteers in
Radio Service.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. J, Bandon ac-
companied by their daughter,
Miss Margaret, went to Kansas
City Tuesday where they met
their son, William E. Bandon,
who was accepted Monday in the
Radio section of the Navy. Sew
eral months ago the young man
tried to enlist but was refused
on account of his age, being un-
der eighteen years. He was 18
years old Tuesday, and with the
constnt Vi ms parents, aid ii5lye
ing passed the physical examin-
alton, he was accepted. He will
receive his preliminary training
at the Great Lakes station.

Fiftieth wedding Anniversary.

Rev. and Mrs. Thomas NJ.
Cobb celebrated Tuesday their
fftieth wedding anniversary. A
family dinner at the home Of
their elder daughter, Mrs. Rob-
ert Taubman, is the formal ac-
knowledgement Of the occasion,
but perhaps the real celebration
lies in the elimination of happi-
ness and assurance Of lives well
lived. Rev. Cobb has been indie
titled with Lexington for many
years, tho his place Of residence
was often regulated by his SER
yice~as an active minister in the
Southern Methodist church. He
is held in highest regard and ap-
preciated for his ministerial ser
vice. His record of activity as a
Confederate soldier throughout
the Civil war is another point
of appeal to Lafayette county
people.
He and his good wife, who was
Miss Cameron Houck, were mar
lried in Kansas City on January
80, 1868. Hosts Of friends con
graduate them and wish then
many happy returns of their an
niversary.

The 1918 Election.

The election this year, in so
far as the county is concerned,
gives promise of being more in
teresting than usual. At the e.
lection in 1916, the Republican
party elected the sheriff, and
many of them have taken that
as a sign that they viii have
more of a look-in this fall than
formerly. The primary election
will be held Tuesday, August 6,
1918, and the shell Of many a
candidate has been "piped" and
full fedged specimens may be
expected to come forth at an
early date. The Office of county
collector seems to be the most
attractive and there viii be nu-
merous aspirants for this office
in both parties. c. L. Wilson,
the present incumbent, will have
served two terms at the end of
the year.
The whole county court has to
be filled. The County Clerk, Geo.
w. Bates; Circuit Clerk, W. t.
Tut; Probate Judge, S. N. Viii
son; County Recorder, W. T.
Wernwag, and Prosecuting Att
orney, Clarence Vivion, will have
served one term and will be can
didates for a second term, and if
the usual custom is followed,
they will have no opposition in
the primary.
