Oh, laddie OF the hungry heart.
What splendid things you planned.
You searched this old toorld's crotcded mart
For ono to understand;
But some tcould laugh and turn atUdy,
And some had ioork to do.
And none had time to stop and play
Or dream pour dreams aoith you.
So, Idddic. you hare come to knoqo
The bitter truth t1hich Jars:
One cannot tread the earth beiotc
And hoe among the stars:
For mGn must labor acith his kind;
But tohen his aDork Is through

A place aohcrc dreams come true.

but says Trim got the idea from Mr..

system was hobby with Trim long
before the meeting at which Mr.. Far

Office, finally refusing to again serve
because Of age. The family has been
an honorable one. and Mr.. Shaifer
himself was a man Of many admirable
traits of character, and was highly
esteemed by every one.
The deceased was a member of the
Methodist church and was a regular
attendant upon its services as long as
his health would permit. He was al
so a gallant Confederate soldier, serv-
ing throughout the war. His home
was on the battle ground where the
Magnolia church engagement between
Grants advancing army and Bowen's
handful of defenders was fought on the
memorable first Of May. Mr.. Shaft
er's first wife died as a result of that
battle, but her husband was too for
giving to allow this to embitter him
against the north, and many times
since the war he has thrown open his
home to northern soldiers who visit
ed the battle field. On one occasion
he was invited to attend a reunion Of
the G. A. r. Of one Of the central
states and when he appeared in the
convention he was taken upon the
shoulders of admiring friends who
had been recipients of his hospitality
in the south and carried through the
hall.
The deceased leaves his wife, form
erly Miss Guice, and two sons, B. H.
Shaifer Of Adams county and P. L.
Shaifer of Port Gibson, besides many
relatives in various parts of the
country.
Handsome floral offerings attested
the love of the friends the deceased
had made during his long life, and
while he has been confined to his
home for the past two or three years
because Of infrmities Of age, he will
be sadly missed.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church, Rev. N. B. Har-
mon officiating.
