Wilkinson in the Independent: I shall grow old; when the wild earth is calling, I shall sit quietly, at last, nor go To race the quickened winds where rain in falling, In woods I used to know.

Though I still feel the lure of wings that flutter, Across the bayou on the edge of day, And of the silver stream where quick fish scutter, I shall not go, but stay. Yet I shall smile, and smiling shall remember The streams I forded and the trout I caught, Or the leaf-kindled fires of mild November, And the strange peace they brought. Glory of earth in her midsummer madness, Glory of great, grave trees and sunny sea, The swimmer's lithe dominion won in gladness, In youth and health set free. I shall be glad of sunburn and rough going, Of weariness that found a perfect rest Where our firm mother earth made ready, showing Her rough and rugged breast. I shall grow old--but memories strog and tender Shall give me joy while earth's wild song is sung; The great, glad earth I know, in all her splendorWith her I have been young! OLPE NEWS.

Sheriff Wallace Jones was in town Tuesday calling on the voters. He stated that court convenes this week and the case of Homer Cullor, slayer of Sheriff Davis will be tried.
