Railroads

At present we have only a poor make
shift, a neglected branch of the Frisco, known
as the Tyronza Central, running from
Marked Tree to a timber camp six miles
above Lepanto. Despite this apparent handi-
cap in the handling of passengers our ter
ritory manages to keep two trains and crews
busy the year round hauling freight over
this little sixteen miles of railroad. CO How
ever, we hope to have better transportation
facilities in the near future. -

Life's winters would not seem so long
If you were near;
The bleak winds would be sweet with
song
IL you were near.
But oh, the gray, delightIess skies,
Where not a star greets Loves sad
eyes,
And oh, the weary world of sighs
For you, my dear!
Come, from the sweet fields of the
past,
From skies all clear;
Come. to the first love and the last
Sweet dream, appear!
Star-lsmps to light thee Ger the ways
Where Love in lilies sings thy praise
oh, perfect dream of perfect days
oh, Love, so DEAR
