J ! x ? VOLUME LVII, NUMBER 87. NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1921. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR FOR THE EYE AND HEART ' OF MOTHER'S WAYWARD BOY (By R. H. Greneker.) All of us in life have our varying inoods. For the past few weeks I Uaam ir> A mAA^ f A limfa ' .ua V C uccil ill Hie llluuu nui/b uuvn as I have written in the lines below. (My present mood, no doubt, was caused by the fact that I have to j "break up" and -move. It is with sadness I will leave the pleasant place1 where I have spent.the past several years. It is in a delightful neighborhood, where peace reigns with good will among the neighbors, both white and colored citizens of the vicinity living in quiet serenity with nothing +n mrtlpst or make them?afraid. It is friendly all along Harrington street, and I shall miss the daily greetings that have been mine as I passed each happy home, especially the warm greetings of my sincere little friends. I love Harrington street. Her trees around me stand, "dear as the apple ^ of mine eye and graven on* my hand." "The. radiant morn hath passed away, * -11 -i. M And spent too soon ner goiaen siore, and "The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie." & So, a few more ' days and I shall leave you. Then, good-bye, old Harrington street, good-bye. V . The following lines are written for j .A ft AYMAnrp f inose OI my yuung xncauo aiuuug wv, boys who are at the fork of the roads and inclined to take the wrong way. I hope my effort will arrest them before it be too late: - ' * . -y ' * I've been gone for many years from the ciiy of my birth; Have wandered far away o'er the ft ~ rugged roads of earth, But I'm going home for rest again, for a place to lay* my head? Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother dead? > Ah! no, it can not be: I must see her face once more; Mtfst hear again that voice so sweet, soxglad in days of yore^, For I feel the sadness now, as I know htr heart has bled--Oh! tdll me, is my poor old mother dead? I remember well her happy smile, her , tears of sweetest joy, As she held in fond embrace the one, who was her darling boy. x I see the home, the cottage dear, my *" little trundle bed? Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother dead? | Don't say that she is dead, for I yearn to let her know, That I love her, truly love her, as in days long, long ago; Is it too late to say it now?what in my heart I've said? , Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother dead? How bright her eye, that deep blue eye, how smooth her noble brow; But if alive,- those features dear are pale and wrinkled now. Because of grief and sorrow felt for j 'the life that I have led? Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother dead? I drank the wine and journeyed on through ail those fleeting years , In dissipation's crooked paths, beyond a mother's tears; Despite her calls, her cries, her pray- j ers, I only farther tread? Oh! tell me, is my poor old mother dead? * ! I love my mother. Tell her so. I've j prayed to make her glad. To bring again those blessed smiles i x - TJ r\ on co tu tne late 1 vc mauc ow But those days are gone, the days of j the past have fled? Oh! teli me, is my poor old mother dead? Where is the babe once his mother's i delight? Where is the promise his youth gave so bright? Where the boy, long his father's pride? | His one thought and hope e'en until he died? * "* ' ' ?ttTifU cam V.x* jjatfier VVUU ttanvcu nmi wu k?,? side, And talked daily, praying, "Lord with me abide." Where are the sweets of his happy youth? Where all the joys e'er he turned from the truth? Why am I sad? Why do I not laugh and shout? Why not with joyful heartbeats ring, and ring the old days out? Is the world not bright? Are there not sweet pleasures here? Ts thorp not haDniness enough to spare, with me to share? Friends have I by scores; there are hearts that are.good and true. I lack not sympathy or love 'neath the arch of heaven's blue. I am not blind?can see the grandeur all around; Can view the morning's glories which everywhere abound. I am not deaf?voices of loved ones I can hear, * Ana nit; evening ? masii. 15 cncci< iu my listening ear.

Of love and good, and all, lost in the bitter strife. \ x So where e'er I may go, in quiet woods or town, It is Regret, with heavy hand, that holds me down; She brings the unforgotten sa^n^ss, day by day, . * ? |- .

'The hat; merchants are also willing to cooperer ate for they realize that upon the 1, on prosperity of the farmers depends t su- their own prosperity, and a coopera- 1< ely tive market will increase the circula- t 1 tion of money in our town and will f by bring more trade to the merchants in 1 md the long run.

It is :onsidered 'jetter to ride if the distance is jri-eat. and use the time and inergy thus saved for other scout acuities. The troop left headquarters about 5:30 Friday afternoon in cars, and irrived at JLittle Mountain about $ 1:30 p. m. The remainder of tho af /> Q TYl n ;ernoon was m wuuif/, rathering wood, bringing water, and ;ett;ng ready for the night. Supper vas cooked after dark, by fire and lan:ern light.
