OUR LIFE
Our life a battle is,
The bullets past us whiz.
We dodge and onward go.
And prove our courage, so.
Today, we wounded fall.
No, answer to roll call,
Tomorrow, hope says. On!
The battle must be won.
We leave the dying, dead.
War's horrors and its dread.
And meet the battle's din,
Till victory we win.
Our life's a runn.ng stream,
: And not "An idle dream";
' O'er boulders, now we pass
By blooms and tufts of grass.
The stream now runneth clear.
And loseth not a tear
Now has a duller look,
Its channel h?th sorrow shook.
Yet onward will it eo.
For God has ordered, so;
Yes. onward to the sea
It Howeth full and free.
Our life is like the ocean
Sometimes in great commotion
Sometimes 'tis calm and still
Be it the Father's will.
Life serves its purpose true.
As doth the deep so blue;
It's blessing unto man.
As sea to nation, clan.
'Tis faith, the rudder of life.
Tnat guides in storm and strife;
As ships thU brave fie crest.
We enter the Heaven. Rest.

The Long Creek people are getting
womed up over what they deemto he op
position to their pat schen-.e of county
division, and. therefore 'he mrsiirg of
that burg's county seat bueb'e. It yet
rema.ns to be seen whether the people cf
northern Grant want the new county, or !
if it is merely a boom to create a r.ew set j S
