MRS. MARGIE P. MOSELEY, '
REV. L. R. GWALTNEY, ’
Rome, Ga., Saturday, March 15, 1873. :

JTTSTICJFJ.
A man has no more right to get
drunk than a woman has. Al hat would
our pious community say if a “sister”
high in the church were to become in
toxicated 1 ? The w(z«7 the hue and cry 1
of scandal would deafen a Bedlamite, I
but a “brother” —“ah! ahem: noli,
you know he—he” —and then are soft .
excuses because he jwys and is a man. i
Well this has gone so a long time, but i
the world is getting tired of it; women
are tired of it, and they demand, and j
have a right to demand that their
fathers and husbands, brothers and
lovers shall be better, and purer, and i
nobler men! They are disgusted at i
the idea of being compelled to receive 1
as equals in society, and brothers in 1
the church, men who are destitute of '
virtue, who are the companions of low 1
women, and the secret patronizers of ;
grog-shops. The day has passed in :
which women can be an apologist for ,
libertinism, and the man who values ,
not his moral standing, is the creature ‘
most contemned by ladies of pure and ,
cultivated minds. Virtue is virtue, ‘
and vice is vice, without regard to sex;
ami what we desire, is not that our lovely 1
and pur womanhood should be lower- I
ed. but that men should be compelled |
by public opinion, if not by honor, to '
make themselves worthy of associa- 1
tion with a refined and lofty type of 1
womanhood. Men have 110 right to
drink. They as husbands have sworn .
to do the opposite, and yet how many j
keep their oaths? There is drunken
ness and vice at the head of families, '
high in the church and high in the so- ■
cial world. This is wrong. It is shame- ,
ful, ami yet some ministers wins at it, ;
and gloss it over, and some church j
members “hush un” the affair, instead
of coming out on the side of right, as ;
every honest heart should do. Noone
is respected for cloaking vice, but he ,
will eventually win who tells the truth,
stands up for justice and isj brave in ;
the cause of right. Our paper is The
People’s Friend in more than name, j
and us such it is a paper of progress, >
and will not shrink from attacking 1
vice, and encouraging virtue. We in
vite discussion on any social topic,
i.d th 'Ugh our battle cry is Temper
ance, we see other injustice abroad and '
shall speak of it.
Our women and children are crying
out against the tyranny of drunken- .
ness, its injustice, and the low standard
of public morals, which makes men of '
disreputable character, the equal, so
cially, of pure, virtuous and high- '
minded women. Tin re is a cry against
the tyranny of vice even in our city, 1
find we hope our noble citizens (we ■
have some) will unite to put it down.
M) « •
mrs. Westmoreland's new book.
The readers of “Heart Hungry” will
be glad to learn that “Clifford Troup,”
which has been so extensively <• >m
mented upon by the press, is at last
out. It is the same story as “Hmirt
tungry,” “Marriage without love,” but
the party whoso “heart is hungry,” this
time, is n man. He is reprost nted as the
relative of Gov. Troup, of Georgia, and
is forced to marry to save his father’s .
estate from bankruptcy. He does not ;
save the estate, but ruins himself, his i
fortune, his happiness, his health, and I
the happiness of his wife and sweet- '
heart, for of course he was in love with I
“another woman. ” How it ends we ■
leave the reader to find out. This is a '
simple unromantic story you say. Yes; I
no claptrap, no tragic; none is needed. 1
The reader is borne on by the native
power and genius of the author. He
feels that he is reading the truth, that i
he has gotten hold of the heart-history 1
of some friend, a history, the outlines 1
of which he knew before, but of which
one author gives the details. Mrs.
Westmoreland tells of life as it is, not
as Hmt fancy would have it We may
dislike her characters, may condemn
them Unking in the loftiest and
purest of morality, but we are
compelled to that thev are trus 4
to life. Virginia Derring is the only
truly admirable character in the whole
book. There seems to be no effort to
paint her, she is no favorite of the
author, and yet the reader desires and
watches for every ciscumstance to turn
in favor of the pool' little patient, lov
ing but unloved Wife. W e have seen
many such women as Gertrude Law
rence; many, many Clifford Troups,
and but one Virginia Derring. The
papers have announced that the book
was in laudation of the “immortal
Troup family,” the hero being a dist
ant relation of Geo. M. Troup, but
regarded from our stand-point, there
is nothing, in the work, that will add a
leaf to the laurels of the Troups. On
the other hand, it only serves to show
how wealth and position can gloss
dishonor, and how, under cover of
“chivalry” men tyrannize over the
weak.
In the “Sage of Pleasant Retreat,”
we have a peep at the home-life of our
beloved statesman, Alexander H. Ste
phens. His is a lovely character, and
every Georgian who is familiar with
the life of the great statesman will see
at once, that in her novels, Mrs. West
moreland draws more from fact than
fancy. But the chief beauty of “Clif
ford Troup” is in the short moral es
says with which the book is interspers
ed. Our author has studied our social
life, she sees its lights and shadows,
and as far as her position allows her to
observe, she paints it well. ’Tis only
within memory of this generation that
women were allowed that power—
“greater than the sword”—the pen;
and even now, they are forbidden by
private, and recently by public tyranny,
from writing the truth as it is. Vice
hides its face from the light, and men
hate the truth, especially when it
conics from a woman: no wonder then
that though women see, to the fullest
extent, the wrongs done the sex, yet
they fear to speak of them, and spend
their time and talent in attacking
minor vices. This, however, is some
thing gained, and we sincerely hope
that in her next work Mrs. Westmore
land will show us a hero of that en
chanting type, known as the “conse
crative-chivuhlc gentleman;” a man
who regards woman as the toy and
slave of his sex; is opposed to progress
and denies her all political rights, while
he cheerfully accords the same to the
negro. Go to Patrick’s and get the
book.
Georgia Musical Eclectic. —This is
the title of a new musical monthly
magazine, published by Guildfold,
Wood «fc Co., Atlanta, Ga. It is edit
ed by Charles AV. Hubner, a name
familiar to the readers of war-time
literature, and one of no inconsidera
ble reputation as a poet, essayist and
roinancist. We are glad to find that
our old friend of bellum days has laid
aside his sword to roam again the
pleasant by-paths of letters, and we
wish him that success to which his su
perior merit so justly entitles him.
Every lover of music should send for
this magazine. The musical depart
ment is under the supervision of Mr.
Wood, and is ably filled. Every num
ber contains two pieces of music, and
in addition, a deal of information to
til.>st; studying the “divine art.”
THE CITY OF DeSOTO!
G L.! ND IM FRO J ’EMENTH
VALUE OF CITY PROPERTY EN
HANCED A HUNDRED FOLD!!!
THE CITY COUNCIL IN SOLEMN
CONCLAVE!:!!
THE CITIZENS EARNESTLY
CLAMORING FOR THE
WORK TO BEGIN I!!!!
NO MORE FLOODS!!!!!!
The late disastrous overflows have
put the citizens of DeSoto to work de
bating plans for protecting the citizens
against the devastation incident to the
floods which have visited the city this
winter. It is proposed to tax all the
property of the city, (and it Is estimat
ed that the small amount of five per
cent. will suffice) fur building a levee
along the bank of the river. A party
has offered to tase the contract for five
thousand dollars, and the citizens are
anxious for the work to begin. It is
desired that the whole of the council
i take the affair in hand. A part already
! have the subject under serious consid
eration, and the sooner some move
| ment is made in the matter, the better.
The property will be enhanced, in val
' ue, a hundred per cent. No wonder
. the citizens are clamorous for the
I measure. No more floods, then stores
1 would spring up along Bridge street,
• without fear of inundation, and the
i barren and waste places would
j “blossom as the rose.” Beautiful and
stately residences would cover the
i dreary looking lands of Messrs. Short
i er, Mitchell and Trammel, and places
now considered comparatively worth
j less, would prove under the security of
a levee, sources of inestimable wealth.
1 Let the citizens and council push the
j work; it is an investment that will 1
i recompense the property owners a
: hundred fold, and continue to do so
as the years go by.
Lodge Deputies are again urged to as
sist us in extending the circulation of The ■
People’s Friend. The Grand Worthy ;
1 Secretary, Brother Samuel 0. Robinson, '
has just returned from Adairsville Lodge,
bringing us a list of ten subreribers, which 1
number he sec ured in a few minutes- Now !
each Lodge Deputy in the State can, and '
1 ought to, send a list of ten or more sub- '
j scribers from their Lodge, and we urge
them to make an effort in behalf of their
paper. If every Lodge of Good Templars
in the State will send us twenty dollars for
ten copies of the People's Friend one
year, we will enlarge our paper and oth.r- 1
wise improve it. Now Brothers and Sis- '
ters “turn a hand.”
Twenty Tears Younger.— To say that (
I hundreds of maids, wives and widows look i
twenty years younger than they are in con
sequence of the complexional freshness de
-1 ri v ed from the use of Hagan’s Magnolia i
Balm, is simply to state an absolute fact, !
which might be promptly verified by direct '
testimony if ladies were as willing to tel! ;
their ages as to use the best means of mak
j ing themselves lovely. Nature .-ometimes, |
but very rarely, crowns the charm of per- 1
feet features with a complexion of exquisite ■
clearness ; but even then time soon begins .
to make inroads upon the velvet cheek, the ;
fair white'C.owy the ivory bust, the rounded
arm? To the ‘‘glory of wesnan” ;
unblemished, even after the meridian of
life has been passed, it is only necessary to '
use daily this cooling, healthful vegetable ;
preparation.
