Written for the St or r.1 ;: isi: MKitciPOi.. Only a bird with a broken whip; A erinpled bird, but sharp i the sting. Only a woman's liitlerery; "Can (fod have mercy on such as I ?" Only a wailing infant's cry. With none to help or set! it 'die; Nothing around but black despair, "With "Clod have mercy" the only prayer. And far away in a distant home. A mother's heart is bleeding alone, For a daughter erriig and gone for nve; "Father have mercy" before she die." j A rushiitg river, a whirling tide I Two shuddering forms its waters hide Mother and habe the watcs grasp i In thegrasp that man cm never unclasp. ! Two bodies dripping with oozy slime, A laughing crowd with idling time; I A jolting cart ami the potter's field The leveled dirt alone revealed. A nameless grave, anil the world moves on As it jeering passes it easts the stone; But God looks down with pitying eye Ere the life went out he heard that cry. Man passes judgemnt and casts the stone, But Ciod gives judgment before the throne. That prayer shall be the woman's plea, When man from the lace of the judge shall flee. Soi'itii: V.

A vote was taken in this county in ISP(5 which resulted in tho decision that bogs shall not be allowed to run at large. The county clerk made the necessary pub lication and it is now a law in this county. The penalty for a violation of 1 it is as follows: ! Site. .'.
