HOME.

The prodigal world is far from home,
Alas, what husks it's foods!
Yea, 1t mounts on wings proudly to
roam,
But nowhere finds it's good.
For the land is full Of refugees,
Who seek some resting place;
From the wars unrest they yearn for
ease,
For calm from that mad pace.
The moving van, like a hearse in
plague,
Is rushing wildly by,
With its sad remains that seem to beg
For new life from the sky.
Grinning and gambling ghouls are
abroad,
Gambling with h~earth-fre's glow,
Gloating while dwellings founded of
In ruins are tumbling low.
It's nothing but home the millions
4 world of broad goodwill,
Where at their Fathers table feed,
None seeking others i'll.
But the light of worldwide friend
ship comes
From many hearthfires bright,
And the happiness Of nations sums |
Their homes of love and right.
AS long as earth's homes are lit by
love,
Theren be a glow on high;
will believe in a God above,
And heaven by and by.

delphia Ledger.

He is deservedly popular, thoroughly

the confidence of not only the mer-

may very properly be given credit
for the excellent record of the bust

Not a great many years back, the
wisest mes would have said that. a
wholesale grocery concern could not
have succeeded in Grenada, but lad
such prophecies been made about the
Grenada Grocery Co., which sells to
the wholesale trade only, they would
not have been verified for it has sue

year it has earned and declared a
good dividend and has gone from
one success to another. 1t meets a
necessity in this territory and those
behind it have been discreet and wise
enough to shape the affairs of the
concern to satisfy this necessity and
to make the business a convenience
to the mercantile interests of this
territory.
But when it is understood that Mr..
j. H. Brown is president of the COM
pany and that he has been one Of the
most potent forces in directing its

81 DOZENS EGGS ARE

Police Looking For Men Who Pounded Farmers
Produce Into Pulp With Crock-Five Boys
Arrested on Suspicion Released by Police

Sheer mischief is thought to have
prompted the persons who broke
81 dozen of eggs left in the Chest
nut street markethouse by a dealer
last evening, preparatory to opening
his stand for business o-day.
The eggs which belong to a Cum
berland county farmer named Nalen
were left on his stand in tempting
array when he left the market last
evening at o'clock. This morning
they were smashed into a sloppy
mess. Apparently the act was done
with malicious intent, as a jar of
pudding, also belonging to Mr.. Nalen
had been lifted by the handled and
brought down in every part of the
bin until all the eggs were broken.
A two-pound carton of butter in
a refrigerator close by was opened,
the butter broken in two pieces, and
thrown back into the refrigerator.
Nothing was stolen. Police think
the persons who caused the de-
struction hid in the building last
night until all the vendors had left.

destruction. a side door was open
