Two Golden Days
£
There are two days of the
week upon which and about
which 1 never worry, two care
free days kept sacredly free j
from fear and apprehension.
One of these is Yesterday, j
Yesterday with all its caresand ,
frets, with all its pains and1
aches, all its faults, its mistakes;
and blunders, has passed be
yond the reach of my recall. 1
cannot undo an act that I
wrought. I cannot unsay a word j
that 1 said on Yesterday. All
that it holds of life, of regret I
and sorrow, is in the hand of
the Mighty Love that can bring
sweet waters out of the bitter
es desert—the love that can
make the wrong things right. I
that can turn weeping into
laughter, that can give beauty
for ashes, the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness, .iov
of the morning for the woe of
night.
Save for the beautiful mem
ories that linger, sweet and ten
der like the perfume of roses,
in the heart of the day that is
gone, I have nothing to do with
STRAWBERRIES IN
MAY AND DECEMBER
E. H. Bowman, county super
intendent of schools, who has
just returned from a tour ofthe
rural school districts of the
southern part of the county,was
today exhibiting a box of well
developed, ripe strawberries
on the streets, the berries hav
ing been picked fom a garden
belonging to E. Smith of Brad
lord who gathered more than
a quart of fruit during the past
week. The berries are large and
are of excellent flavor, being a
second crop on plants which
grew a crop last spring and had
received no attention since that
time.
It is believed that this phe
nomen of December straw
berries made possible by few
frosts todafe, is the first of its
kind in this part of the state, if
not in Arkansas.—Newport In

Yesterday.
And the other day I do no
worry about is Tomorrow. To
mo row with all its possible ad
versities, its burdens, its perils
its large promises and poor per
formance, its failures and mis
takes, is as far beyond thi
reach of my mastery as itsdeac
sister—Yesterday. Its sun wil
rise in roseate splendor, or be
yond a mask of weepingclouds
But it will rise. Until then th
same love and patience tha
held yesterday, and holds to
morrow, shines with tende
promise into the heart of today
I have no possession in that un
born day of grace. All else is i
the infinite keeping of that In
finite Love that holds for m
the treasure of yesterday, th
love that is higher than th
stars, wider than the sky, deep
er than the seas.
There is left for myself, ther
but one day of the week—Tc
day. Any man can fight thebal
ties of today. Any woman ca
carry the burdens of just on
day.—Robert J. Burdette.
