Telephone 154 IT’S SPRING! * / What wakes the pussywillaiy up, And opens daffodilly's cups? v And fills with fragrance all the air, As, with a perfume rich and rare ? What calls the birds from sleep to sing? It’s Spring, I’m sure! I know it’s Spring! What gives the iris its rich hue, What artist paints the violet blue? What magic touch the floweret wakes, A v lovely web or verdure makes, What is it lifts the robin’s wing? It’s Spring, I’m sure! I know it’s Spring! What zephyr stirs the tulip bed, And breathes Upon the dogwood red? What charms the air at sunset’s glow, And thrills the glimmering sea below ? Oh, hark! the chorus on wing! It’s Spring, I’m sure! I know it’s Spring! Life at it’s full! Abundant life! With its glad ecstacies is rife, Asbutds bloom and budding bough Almg proclaim the p/esence now .Of those sweet messengers which ring The happy, joyous bells of Spring! 0, Spring! restorer of my soul! Thy wonders ceaselessly unfold. 0, beautiful for azure skies, And faith and hope that never dies! My heart attunes its Ijarp to sing . Thy glories and thy beauties, Spring! —Mrs. C. Whit Gaskins.

EMMIE ROBERTSON ♦ } BALLENGER J ♦ ♦ On February 26, 1925, Musgrove’s Mill Chapter of D. A. R. lost by death one of its most beloved members, Mrs. Emmie Robertson Ballenger. Mrs. Ballenger was the only daughter of our beloved member, Mrs. Alma Grif* fin Robertson, who was a charter member of this chapter. Having al ways made her home here, Mrs. Bal- lenger’s friends* are many among the young and old. She was born April 26, 1893, and died February 26, 1925, after a brief illness. Mrs. Ballenger had bfcen a member of the chapter for a number of years. She was always ready to do her part of work in various chapter Wtivitjes. Her earnestness and gentleness in promoting the best in every phase of life has greatly endeared her to us. “Life’s a short summer—man is but a flower.” A flower has been plucked from our midst. "She has gone—but gone to that realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber in the ocean, and where the beautiful beings which now pass be fore us like shadows will stay in our presence forever. And she went “like fne who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” But we, her friends and fellow mem bers qf Musgrove’s Mill Chapter wish to express our sorrow in her going. Therefore, be it resolved: First, That we extend opr deepest sympathy to each of her loved ones, and commit them to the loving care of thd Heavenly Father, Whom she loved and ’sefved. Second, That a page in our Record Book be set apart to her memory. Third, That a copy of this be sent to fhe * family, and one to The Clin ton Chronicle for publication. MRS. E. E. STANTON. - MRS. W.

PIANOS for RENT O’D^NIEL & REID With “seeking for gold” as their mission, robbers entered the dental offices of Drs. M. J. McFadden and R. W. Johnson either on Saturday or Sunday night. Nothing is known as to the whereabouts or identity of the uninvited guests who are appar ently well organized and, equipped to carry on suck raids. It is supposed that they entered the local offices by the use of a x “professional key,” no evidence being found Monday as to how they gained admittance. The visitors, apparently familiar with the arrangement of Dentists’ offices, took {rom the secret apart ments more than .$200 worth of gold used in the practice of the doctors' profession. They then opened the desks, went tfiyough their belongings, and later in a polite manner, locked all doors and walked quietly out with the stolen posMasions. Their identity remains unknown, but no one will ac cuse t^iem of being ameteurs in the business. ‘rn GRIP AND COLDS Are • likely to make your kidneys fall behind in keeping your System and Blood pure.
