About Town

AA1SAk AVN
Well, readers. / have searched
all OF the hooks and hollows and
cooked up something good to hear
Tor rather read) but, before we
get down to the more serious part
let's take time out for a poem by
Longfellow. Since this is March
and the weather is so uncertain
our poem for this week is Rainy
Day This poem has been enjoyed
for decades by nature lovers; it
expresses very common emotions
in Longfellow's Enthusiastically
simple but musical verse.
THE RAINY DAY
The day is cold, and dark, and drea-
ry;
1t rains, and the wind is never
weary;
The vine still clings to the molder-
ing wall,
But at every gush the dead leaves
fall.
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and
dreary;
It rains and the wind is never
weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mold
ering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick
in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still sad heart and cease repin-
ing;
Behind the clouds is the sun still
shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all:
Into each life some rain must fall.
Some days must be dark and dreary
Well, readers, how did you en-
JOY the poem for the week? You
enjoyed it fine? Good. Well I hope
you will enjoy the news equally
as we'll. Thinking along the sports
line our memories are carried back
to the old days at Bowman High
when the football team was the
most powerful on the warket. That
is the way | predict it of being
next season. Last season the team
made much progress under the di-
srection of Coach Banks. The thing
that made our minds wander SO
far back was the fact that they

8, 1852, where they played in a
Tournament. The Indians played
Canton Catholic High School and
won which sent them to the finals
to defeat the Holy Ghost Catholic
High School from Jackson, with
a score of 80 to 81, and won a glo-
rious trophy. That's enough fol
the sports for this week.

event Of family life is the addition
of members to the family. Mr.. and

threaten our economy and bring
hardship upon the citizens of Kinds

some result from negligence in
burning brush heaps. Thousands
Of dollars worth of property can
be saved if citizens will make GER
tain that their cigarettes and fires
are out or safe before leaving
them. Mr. WEIGH cautions every
one to be extremely careful when
using fire to prevent unnecessary
loss of valuable timber, grass, and
certain crops.
Mr.. WEIGH asserts, "Carelessness
resulting in wild woods fires weak
ems the whole economy of our ma
ton. Let US prevent this happening
in our county" He adds, eve must
remember that losses from fire
are not felt by the owner alone,
