Constructive Fearless Independent THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1929 MRS. R. D. McKINNEY Editor PHONE 3697. EPITAPH We are those unthrifty souls Who watered dusty streets with wine; Gathered pearls from Indian shoals And cast them royally to swine; Our most precious love strowed To be trampled by the crowd; Freely broached our hearts' red blood To dye the garments of the proud; Who have sung away our years To soothe the perjurer and the thief; Poured for the heartless healing tears: Fed the tyrant with our grief; Paid the price we never owed; Prayed to gods who ask no prayer; Climbed the high encumbered road Net asking why or where.

But Death will get you, in the end. Life is strong: but dark Death takes The flower and its bright stem breaks. -By Martin Armstrong. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Life may be your passing friend; Soon the butterfly must get Ensnared in his silent net. Yet Death were dead, the tree of Life would die; and cease to be.
