The fall’s upon us, sure as sin; The eucalyptus leaves are here. And jags of cotton seek the gin. The meadow lark has upped and fled, The meadows now have turned to hay The summer days (praise be) are dead. The poultry yard has ceased to pay. The seasons come, the seasons go (As far as I can discover), 'Twas ice hills then, ’tis coal bills now, Kver, forever and forever. Assurances are constantly given that the tariff will be the issue in the next presidental campaign. But it is evident that 1 all efforts to pull it forward, so far, appear to be unavailing. Senator Hopkins, of Illinois, is now showing a letter of in dorsement of himself by Presi dent Roosevelt. It is evident from this that some one is after the political scalp of Hopkins. Thh National Federation ol Postoffice Clerks, which has beer meeting in Indianapolis, adopted a resolution asking the president to put postmasters and assistant postmasters in the classified service. Not yet but soon. Wait until we get a democrat for presi dent. It is declared that Mr. Town* is a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. Wh\ this announcement is made is not easily explained, since Towne has been a candidate for the nomination ever since he quit the republican party on account ol its attitude on the silver ques tion. William Rockefeller, broth er of .John, says there is n<' danger of a panic. When the continual cry is that we are more prosperous than ev r in t h i history of the country, there is something strange about these continual assurances that all u well and that we have from the leading financers no cause for fear. Secretary of Acriclltcri: Wilson says that the Croesus of the future will not be the oil man, but the lumber man or tin man who owns large tracts of timber. He might have stated that those who build wooden houses now feel that the day of the lumber Croesus is not far distant. A NORWAY TOWN WITHOUT TAXES. “The town of Faleide, Norway, imposes no taxes on its lucky in habitants,” says the London, Eng., Bystander. During the last 30 years the authorities at Faleide have sold over $5,000,000 worth of trees; and. by judicious replanting, have provided for a similar income every 30 years. In consequence of this source of commercial wealth, there are no taxes in Faleide, and local rail ways and telephones are free, as well as education and drinks— upon the king's birthday!” SNAP SHOTS. When in Rome, do the Romans before the Romans do you. Faint heart never won the landlady. Englishmen may now legally wed their wives’ sisters if their wives are dead and their wives’ sisters willing. “Dress should express our emotions,’’saysa fashion journal. When mad, wear a gun. Some women are afraid of mice because it seems to show that there are no rodents in their residences. Marriage is not a lottery. A man can stay out of a lottery all night without being called a brute. i I J. C. Young. Pres. O. B. Gordon. Cash. \V. B. Wallers. Vice-Pres.

MY MARYLAND'S BIG ENTER TAINMENT. Former R.eii<ienl> Now Living in Tbit State Are Invited to Attend Her Old Home Week. Maryland is sending invitations to her sons and daughters scat tered everywhere to come to the grand reunion, and is making extensive preparations to give ; them a week of right royal enter I tainment when they come. Old Home Week covers the dates j October 13 to 10. and there will ! not be a moment of that time 1 that will not thrill with the spirit I of hospitality for which the Old Line State is famous. The celebration will include a number of spectacular features in this city, such as an electrical pageant, a grand military and naval display, a gathering of patriotic societies, a parade and ball by the fraternal orders, a big concert, a night carnival, etc. There wil. also be a special pilgrimage to Annapolis on Peggy Stewart Day, which falls in Old Home Week. The visitors to the capital will have an opportunity to inspect the magnificent new buildings of the United States Naval Academy and the remodeled state house of historic associations. The New Baltimore, which has sprung from the ashes of the disasterous lire of 1904, will not be the least of the features that will afford delight and will sur prise the returning sons and daughters of the state. The homecomers will have the benefit of special transportation rates granted by railroads and steamboat companies, and ar rangements are on foot to secure for the visitors the privilege of j a side trip to Jamestown without extra charge. Every former Marylander of whom the Maryland Home Com ing Association secures informa tion will receiv£ a special invita tion to attend the homecoming. These invitations are being sent out by Governor Edwin Warfield in the name of the state. All persons who have information of the whereabouts of forme’* Mary landers are urged to promptly forward such names and ad dresses as are in their possession, to the secretary of the associa tion, 602 Fidelity Building, Balti more, Md. HON. H. S. POWELL. in this issue of the Picayune will be found the annoucement of H. S. Powell, of Ouachita county, for congressman for this, the 7th congresional district. Mr. Powell is fairly well known to the people in this part of the state. He stands high in the legal profession, and is prosecut ing attorney of the Pith judicial district, which position he has held for two terms; has made himself famous by his dilligent and earnest prosecution of all violators of the law, regardless of their race, color or previous condition; he is generally re garded as one of the most able prosecuting attorneys in the state. Mr. Powell is a refined, intelligent gentleman, and a very strong, forcible and effective de bater. I He was admitted to the bar in Union county, where he lived the most of his life, and afterwaads moved to Ouachita county and formed a law partnership with his uncle, Hamp Smead. Mr. Powell was raised an orphan boy, but being supplied with a good deal of pluck and energy, and with the assistance of his uncle Hamp, he sueceeded in educat ing himself, and with that bull dog tenacity, which brings into prominence so many poor boys, he soon forced himself to the front rank in his profession. We ask for Mr. Powell a fair and earnest consideration at the hands of the good democrats of Nevada county, and surround ing country, and should he be elected, no democrat need be ashamed of the ability with which our district will be repre sented in congress. In the next issiue of the Pica yune will begin what will be known as the R. F. D. depart ment, which will be conducted by Hon. J. T. Burns, carrier on route No. .'5. This department is established by the Picayune upon | the request of the carriers, as they believe that much good can be accomplished by the patrons of the rural routes more thoroughly understanding the system. Any patron, or any one else wishing to ask any question for information along that line will address their questions to Picayune, in care of R. F. D. De partment. We bespeak for this department a great deal of inter est and trust it will be the means of a better rural route service. FOR SALE.
