SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
A Mere Trihe.

A Mere Trifie.
A man in mournful measures
Was singing sad and slow:
"Why do these earthly treasures
Past me 80 swiftly dow?
Although to serfs or scholars
OF use I'd gladly be,
A hundred thousand dollars
Disdains to notice me!
"The old home needs improvement.
The fences want repair.
Though cash in rapid movement
Is tumbling everywhere,
Hard luck all vainly hollers
This loud, pathetic lay
a hundred thousand dollars
To keep the wolf away"

LOCKE'S STORES TO MOVE

In another column will be found the
large advertisement of Mr.. T.G. Locke,
proprietor of Locke's Department
stores located on the two corners of
Main and Court Streets opposite the
Court House and Jail.
Mr.. Locke started in business in
April 1898, in one room of the building
ON Court and Main Sts., recently
purchased by The National Bank of
Woodstock and in 1901 removed to the
new brick building on the opposit
corner of the street his increasing
business requiring additional space.
Later as business con tinued to grow
he occupied additional rooms in the
building from which he had moved,
and for the past few years, two depart
ments of this rapidly increasing bust
ness have been occupying both the
buildings.
Mr.. Locke will now greatly improve
the large brick building which he
purchased few years ago from the
Stickley and Boyer Estates, and will
occupy the entire building, both the
store rooms where he is now in bust
ness and the adjoining room formerly
used by Gibbs Hardware Company, aud
will throw these two rooms together.
The second floor will also be remodel
ed for special departments of this
rapidly growing business.

from Edgar Donaldson, son OF Mr..

Interest to his friends in this town.
Young Mr.. Donaldson in his love for
a seafaring life strikes back" to his
ancestor Ronald Donaldson, Scotch
|Sea Captain who was lost at sea more

widow moved from Baltimore to Wood

Dear Papa
We are now twelve hours out OF
Christiana in the North Sea, and it is
sure living up TO its name. 1t is SO
cold and rough we can't go on deck,
but we are accustomed to it by now as
we haven't had clear day since we
left Baton Rouge. We are four days
late now due to bad weather. For
three days and nights we could not
gain a mile against the strong wind.
We took the Northern passage COM
ing over but will take the Southern
going back. 1t takes few days longer
but we will have better weather.
Coming over we sailed north to ST.
Johns, New Foundland Light, then
went to the Scilly Islands, the entrance
TO the English Channel. On our way
thru the Channel we saw Lands End,
better known as the Sailors Grave,
Lizard Head, Eddystone. Dartmouth
and Portsmouth ON the English side
and Calais and Boulonge on the French
side.
We are now passing between the
Shetland Orkney Islands. We crossed
near the place the Titanic sank in the
Atlantic but didn't see monument to
show where she went down. 1t is only
about 8 miles deep there.
From Christiana we go to Copenhagen
thru the Baltic Sea, then thru the Kiel
canal to Germany; then TO England
and load for the States. We will leave
here about Dec. oath and arrive home
bout the middle of january unless
our orders are changed and we hope
not for it is too cold to stay here.
1t has rained and showed here all
day but that is only few hours as it
is not light until $50 and then dark at
o'clock.
Tell everyone hello for me.
EDGAR.
Somewhere in the North Sea.
Dec. 81.
This is some day over here-snow-
ing and blowing and 20 below zero.
We left Christiana Thursday. II is a
fine place. bought some things for
you all that would cost five times as
much in the States.
Kosmopolit Hotel is the finest in
Christiana and it cost me six crowns,
about ninety cents, for large room
with private bath and bell boys station
ed outside the door all night.
Breakfast was served in our rooms.
We had reindeer steak, fish, potatoes,
coffee, tea, wine, bread and butter,
for sixty ores, (eight cents.) The only
trouble found was the cold and snow.
We will arrive in Holland tonight at
six and leave Monday for Hull. England.
From there back to the U. S. A.
