Notes
Clio, May 25. -Tho heavy hail
and rain storm on Wednesday
evening left the farmers in the
Hebron section with more than
(ive hundred ncrcs of cotton to
plant over. The same section was
visited on Saturday evening by a
rain and wind storm levelling the
ground and scatter thc seed broad
cast in many places. Such rains
aro rarely seen as fell there on
Saturday evening. This we learn
from those who own farms there.
Mrs. II H McLaurin is still lin
gering in bed where she has been
confined for several months with a
constitutional trouble.
Messers Marion McCall and
CiiiT Jackson spent Sunday with

Mr and Mrs J T Covington of

The New Summertime.
The good New Summertime.
We've beard many songs and
parodies galore,
Of thc '.'Good old Summertime"
I And really its (?od given pleasures
! are sweet.
Through profaned in sinful rhy
mo,
But its pleasuros aro poison and
bitter its sweets,
Its sorrows are "lino upon line"
My soul is longing, ob, so much
For a good Now Summertime I
Chorus
Oh 1 The good Now Summertime
tho endless Summertime,
When I'll walk down thc streets
of gold
With your Savior and minc!
Ile now holds my hand and I hold
his, but then 'twill be joy sublime,
To be forever with the Lord,
In a good New Summertime.
Here tho storms aro so many,
and the thunders so loud,
In this earthly summertime,
And its hot days are soon fol
lowed by winter so cold,
And so fall of disease is the clime
But he "who was and is and is
to be,,
Says in His Word divine,
Old things shall pass away and
all things become new"
So we'll have a now Summertime!
Here dear friends meet to part
and hearts oft ache and break
When affections prove false and
betray,
Here our fondest hopes perish
and bitter tears flow,
And cold death takes our loved
ones away.
But God shall wipe away all tears
with his own hand so kind!
"There'll bo no more sickness,
1 sorrow or death,
In the good New Summertime.
