And then I say, "Good-by, thou passing year!" I think me then upon the life I've lived— Its sins, its wrongs, its failures, its low aims; But, worst of all, its small accomplishments! "Oh that I'd striven harder!" then say I; "Had loved myself the less, and man the more; And yielded never when the temping came!" The past is gone, its record is complete, It is unchanging and unchangeable! But from the quiver of eternity The All-Wise One another year will drop, Bright as an angel from the snow-white throne, Unchecked, unstained, untarnished and unsoiled, And e'en to me the privilege will give To toil, to strive, to love, to pray again, And make another record, clean and bright! 'What shall it, likewise bei The question comes: Shall't show the glory of this new resolve, Or fit, low, in the arches of the past?" With face upon the living future set, As Hezekiah, king in olden day, I now resolve, as comes this new-born year, '•To walk before thy face, O God, in truth, And with a perfect and upright heart, And do what seemeth good in thy clear sight!" And then I know that thou indeed wilt bless Each faltering step and guide with tenderness! —Douglas Dobbins in N. Y. Christian Herald.

Blrchett of Vicksburg as circuit judge of this, the ninth, judicial district, to succeed Judge L H. C. Mounger, whose tern* pired with the year and who was not an applicant for re-appointment.

He is 44 years of age and is married and has two cbild He will hold his first term as ren. of court at Port Gibson, beginning next Monday. Commenting upon the appoint ment, the Vicksburg Herald says, editorially : The Herald heartily commends the judgment of Governor Brewer in appointing Judge Theodore Bir chett of this city to succeed Circuit Judge Mounger, of this district^ who bears with him in his retire ment the good wishes and personal regard and respect of all. Birchett has already been tried out through service under special ap pointment as judge.

The government ginners' report shows that there were 4,117 bales of cotton ginned in Claiborne coun ty up to Dec. 13th, as compared With 3,743 bales the year before, increase of 374 bales. The next report, which will give amount ginned to Jan. ist, will probably complete the year's crop. The total can scarcely reach 4,500, but will no doubt give the crop at least 400 bales above that of 1912. for the bad weather during Sep tember and October, the total would not have fallen below 5,500.
