AROUND THE CORNER.
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end;
Yet days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it a year is gone.
And I never see my old friend's face;
For life is a swift and terrible race.
He know. I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger
then;
And now we are busy, tired men—
Tired with playing a foolish game;
Tired with trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow," I say, "I will call on Jim,
Just to show that I'm thinking of in
him."
in
I
But tomorrow comes—and tomorrow
goes;
And the distance between us grows
and grows.
Around the corner!—yet miles away.
"Here's a telegram sir."
"Jim died today!"
And that's what we get-and deserve
in the end_
to
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

DEATH OF MRS. ARIANA LOWRY.
Mrs. Ariana Lowry died at the
home of her daughter, Mr». Riley Ely
here, yesterday at one thirty o'clock
after a protracted illness.
Mrs. Lowry had made her home
with her dau^ter many years and
had been in poor health a long time.
Several weeks ago her condition be
came serious and she had since that
time been a patient sufferer.
Mrs. Lowry had passed three score
and ten. She was born at Woodville,
DE- Miss., and with her husband, long de
ceased, later lived at Helena, Ark.
I From there she came to Itta Bena in
and 1900. She is survived by two daugh- .
next tors: Mrs. P.ilcy Ely and Mrs. Jennie!
in Meinkin, and three sons: Messrs. |
the Bruce and Alfred Lowry, of Memphis, ;
an< i Sam Lowry of Helena, Ark. Also
by many grandchildren. The remains

Whereas, said improvement re
quires an unusual outlay and cost in

Whereas, said General Improvement
fund is not sufficient to make said
special improvements, and;
Whereas, the Council of the City
