PEOPLE’S FSZESTO ' A. B. S. MOSKLET, ) I 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.
