poor folks: 1t is now practically a
certainty that Yazoo county will have
shipped by the end Of the year $780,

erative shipment method. The coun-

this plan last year, and in January il

1913 which set the goal at 100000.
Already the country has shipped
$4,000 worth leaving only $4,000

probability go forward n the next
few days On Wednesday Of this

its new year poem January 1st. 1885.
Tis twelve o'clock by the tolling
OF bells in the City's spires
Which, sentinels of the midnight.
Stand over its fading fires:
The strokes are stilled and the silence
Returns or the startled way
To lull the slumbering toilers
At rest from the work of day.
ii
The old years days are all ended,
The Past now may claim its own
That perished Cycle evanished.
Its spirit forever flown,
And Time, with noiseless footsteps,
Moves on in the darkness drear
To bear it off to its burial
With night for the sombre bier.
III
And thus in the solemn stiffness
lis borne to that distant shore
Where ages roll alike pillows,
AS restless yet make no roar,
Where wrecks Of loves and longings,
~ hopes, strewn along the strand,
Are lost Ger wider ocean
Than laves any earthly land
Nv
Afar in the depths Of darkness
The wall Of the wintry wind
And moan of the sea-surf sounding
With sorrow all underlined
Make mourning for such a dying
More sad than a brazen bell
That over the death Of mortal
Fer uttered its muffled l1neIl.
"
It's tones Of sad remembrance
Full many a bell hath tolled
Ger tears Of womanly weeping
And dust Of the young and old,
But sadder's that plant unceasing
Still wept by the wind and sea
For years that have long lain buried
Unmourned by but memory.
vi
Why mourn for the Past that IS over.
The Present we have to hold,
While minds may abide in the Future
And make its fair flowers unfold
Let grass grow over its graveyards,
Let tears all be hid as night
Conceals the dew with its darkness
Til gemmed with the mornings
VII
But, oh no pail Of oblivion
Can ever shut out the Past,
Its saddest and tenderest SORROWS
The heart it may hide at last,
Its blighted hopes and affections,
Outstretching each spectral arm,
Be stilled in their graves forever
And bitterest griefs find balm.
VIII
'Tis dead; and yet it still lixeth,
This year that hath passed away:
Some loves that it knew will not
perish
Though hearts may not beat TODAY:
The light Of some eyes hath not faded
Whose glances were soft Of yore:
Some lips that it heard are not silent
Though breathless forevermore
TX
Oh, wind, sigh on for the dying
Of days that are done for aye,
And, sea, sing deeply forever
Of yearnings too dear to die,
While souls are wistfully looking
Through eyes that are wet with
tears
Across the wide waves Of fime'a
TO seek the lost graves Of dead
years.

GERMANY BLIND TO ISOLATION
Premier Eisner of Bavaria Replies to
Recent Attacks of Berlin
Press.

Geneva, Feb. 17.-Kurt Eisner, the
Bavarian premier, on his return to Mu-
mich from the recent socialist confer
ence held at Berne, made reply to at
lacks in the German press concerning
his speech at Berne.
Eisner said the Germans did not
realize to what a degree they were
isolated from the world and what ter
rible mistrust there was of German
politics outside Germany. The Ger
mans, he added did not realize to
what extent the allies considered the
German revolution q pure comedy, and
said that it will be thus while the Ger
man leaders remain the same as those
who conducted Germany's odious war
policy.
