POPLAR CORNER PICK-UPS.
Some few farmers have planted a
little cotton already.
J. E. Jagoe and family were guests
at the comer last Sunday.
Miss Osha Jepson, o' Robinsonville,
is visiting at the corner and neighbor
hood.
Mr. Claud Tully, of Lynchburg, is
dangerously sick, so I am informed,
with lagrippe.
The rain last Thursday evening
stopped the farmers from plowing and
planting in this part of the county.
W. H. Williamson carried two ne
groes >4)0 Hernando jail last Friday
from R. T. Lamb's place in the delta.
I am informed that a burglar was
trying to enter Mrs. Sambo Stewart's
dwelling one night last week but was
frightened away before he broke in.
Good luck to The Times-Proter.

The Man With a Grievance.
Another thing to avoid is the role
of the chronically injured person.
We all know him.
He has a continual grievance. He
has been cheated, abused, wronged,
insulted, disappointed and deceived.
We wonder how or why he [has man
aged to exist, as we listen to the story
of his troubles.
No man ever treats him fairly,
either in business or social life. Ev
erybody is ungrateful, unkind, selfish,
and he could not be made to believe

that these experiences were of his
own making.
All of us meet with occasional blows
from fate in the form of insults or in
gratitude or trickery from an unex
pected source.
But if we get nothing else but those
disappointed experiences from life we
may rest assured the fault lies some
where in ourselves.
We are not sending out the right
kind of mutual stuff, or we would get
better returns.
You never can tell what your thoughts will
do
In bringing you hate or love.
For thoughts are things and their airy wings
Are swift as a carrier dove.
They follow the law of the universe—
Each thing must create Its kind—
And they speed o'er the track to bring you
back.
Whatever went out from your mind.
In the main we must of necessity
get from humanity what we gave to
it. If we question our ability to win
friends or love, people will also ques
tion it.
If we doubt our own judgment and
discretion in business, others will
doubt it, and the shrewd and unprin
cipled will take the opportunity given
by our doubts of ourselves to spring
upon us.—Ella Wheelor Wilcox.

IS IT BUCK?
Mooted Question of Prisoner's Identity
Awaits Solution.
A little furore was created here the
latter part of last week by the an-
nouncement that Judge Muse, a negro
sent up from Justice Gatlin's court
on a charge of illicit cohabitation,
was the negro Buck Muse who killed
- Jackson near Independence
several years ago.
Owing to the fact that several years
has elapsed since the crime was com
mitted, and the negro, Buck, was
then hardly grown, it is extremely
difficult to find anyone whose word
could absolutely be depended upon to
identify him. Several negroes have
said positively that he was Buck,
several more have said that they were
uncertain and others say that the
prisoner is Buck's brother. This is
what the negro himself says, but can
not be induced to talk freely.
One thing is said to be certain, and
that is that the negro is wanted for
some crime, and the officers will at
tempt to investigate his record fur
ther.
Don't Put Off
for tomorrow what you can do today.

lard's Snow Liniment, when that
pain comes you won't have any, buy

When a man goes astray
Keep it out.
When the critic roaste a play
Keep it out.
When two men in anger clash;
When a merchant goes to smash;
When the cashier steals the cash—
Keep it out.

Keep it out.

Whisper something over tea—
Print it? Goodness gracious me!

When two statesmen make a deal
Keep it out.
When another tries to steal
Keep it out.

Good and bad and big and small—
Anything that's news at all—

Then and Now.
The Weekly Agriculturist in writing
about conditions "then" and "now,"
says: Not long ago a farmer went to
a harness dealer to buy a team har
ness. He found one that suited him
and the price was $45. The fanner
happened to remember that about a
dozen years ago he had bought a har
ness just like it from the same dealer
for $35, and he mentioned the fact.
The dealer went to his books and
found this to be true.
But," said
the dealer, ''my books show that you
did not pay cash for it because you
did not have the money. You hauled
in 300 bushels of com and gave it to
me for the $35 harness. Now, I will
tell you what I will do. If you are
willing to bring me three hundred
bushels of pom I will give you the $46
harness also a double buggy driving
harness worth $36, a single driving
buggy harness worth $16, a plush robe
worth $7, a boy's saddle worth $6,
one pair of wool blankets worth $7,
one whip and riding bridle worth
$1.50, two leather halters worth $2.50,
brash and curry comb worth $1 and a
raws hide buggy whip worth $1.

Mrs. Dodds, an old lady living here,

14 years old this was written, now she

poem. The old poet has long since
passed away, but has left a silent mon
ument to his genius.
