and will deliver freight at the lowest
possible rate. We know the class of
goods you want, and handle
We Believe - -

And while our prices may not be as low as some that are quoted to you it
is because we do not carry a Cheap Grade of goods, consequently
have not got a Cheap Price for you, but will guarantee
our prices to be as low as the lowest, Quality
of Goods Considered.

PEACE.
BY WILL M. MAUPIN.
Hushed is the noise of battle, the can
non's roar is stilled;
Furled is the flag of carnage—the world
with peace is filled.
And over the plain and mountain
Where lieth the sleeping dead,
The Angel of Peace now hovers,
Her snow-white wings outspread.
And forth from the earth there springeth
The blades of the waving grain
To nod to the welcome harvest
O'er the graves of the battle slain.
And joyful, the nations gather, and man
on the harvest looks,
For swords are beaten to plowshears,
and spears into pruning hooks.
Stilled is the tread of armies armed for
the deadly fray.
And birds build nests in the cannons that
belched death yesterday.
Formen in the heat of passion
Gave head to the voice of peace,
And sitting 'neath branch of olive
Have ordered that war shall cease,
The wives and children singing
Now welcome the wariors home,
And laughter and joy are flinging
Their echos to heaven's dome.
And joy is the lot of nations as each on
the grand scene looks,
For swords are beaten to plowshears,
and spears into pruning hooks.
Gone are the hates of passions, tumult
and striving ceased.
And man made in God's own image from
the blood-lust stands released.
The shock of contending armies
Gives way to the harvest song;,
And Right with a palm branch waving,
Is the victor over Wrong.
The roar and the crash of battles,
The moans of the dying cease;
And over the plain and the mountain
Is the clear sunlight of peace.
The husband returns to the fireside, on
the faces of loved ones looks,
For swords are beaten to plowshears,
and spears to pruning hooks.
