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.

♦ MRS. 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.

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.

Is Your Work Hard?
Many Clinton Folks Have Found How
To Make Work Easier.
What is so hard as a day’s work
wiih an aching back?
Or sharp stabs of pain at every
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lameness
and weakness.
Many folks have found relief thru
Doan’s Pills. They are a atiniulant
diuretic to the kidneys.
Clinton people recommend Doan’s.
G. W. Clardy, farmer, 76 E. Fergu
son St., Clinton, says: “I do a great
deal of heavy work and I lay that to
causing my kidney trouble. I had a
sore feeling through my kidneys tnd
the pain .was steady. At night my
kidneys acted too freely. Between the
backache and disordered kidneys, I
didn’t get; my regular rest and felt
out of sorts. s I used Doan’s Pills from
Smiths Pharmacy and they quickly
rid me of the trouble.”
Price 60c,"St all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Fills—the same that Mr.
Clardy had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
