CA'N'NON Out beyond life's sunset glow, Is a wity fair I know, With gates of gold, Ever gleaming in the light Home, sweet home forever 'bright, With joy untold Aged pilgrims one by one. Pass beyond life's setting sun, And there, Weary feet are wending home, Heavan's golden streets to roam And mansions fair.

Glory lingers on each brow, They have paid each sacred vow, In service true, Trials that beset their way, Have dissloved and fled away, All things "are'new. Far beyond the range of time, In a brighter better clime, They dwell hi light, Ever more they sing God's praise, Through the everlasting days Where there's no night. Mr and Mrs. W. N.

Hazel Brannon Smith, editor of newspapers at Durant and Lexington, yesterday won a 1 Mississippi Supreme Court reversal of a 10,000 libel judgment obtained in a lower court against her by Holmes County Sheriff Richard Byrd. A news item and an editorial involving the shooting of Negro by Byrd was basis for his suit. In cancelling the judgment and dismissing the suit, the Supreme Court said: "Under the testimony of the officers themselves, the news item and editorial comment in question appear to be substantially true and the plaintiff was therefore not en- ttiled to recover anything." The United States grows more than 70 percent of the world's corn crop.

TEPHENS ECURITYBANK Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation When they want an angel food cake for the church bazaar, Mrs. Turner is apt to be asked to bake it. She almost always responds to such requests with a simple, "I'll be glad to." If you ask people about Mrs. Turner, they will tell you that she is one of the happiest in town. Yet not so long ago she was feeling pretty sorry for herself.

Life seemed a humdrum affair. As an accomplished musician, she had had dreams of the concert stage, but marriage and children had changed all that. Somehow it didn't seem fair! Then one Sunday, a friend persuaded her to go to church. The sermon happened to be about the ingredients that make a full and happy life. The things the minister said struck home, and the next Sunday she found herself back in church again.

Then one Sunday Mr. Turner went along, and next, the youngsters. Now Mrs. Turner is still "just a housewife," but is she dissatisfied with her role? Look at her face, and see for yourself! It took the Church to show her that she already possessed all the tools needed for fulfillment and happiness, if she would but use them. Now, she does.
