The true gentleman is the man,
who is clean inside and out; who
neither looks up to the rich, nor
down on the poor; who can lose
without squealing,and win without
bragging: who is kind, gentle and
considerate to women, children and
old folks; who is too brave to lie,
too honest to steal, too generous to
cheat, and, who takes his share of
the world -and lets other people
have theirs.
In Loving Memory
On the 3rd day of July, the
death angel visited the home of
Mr. Ben Ansburn, and carried
away his sweet and loving com
panion. According to the life she
lived, we know nothing but to lie- j
lieve that she has been carried to a
beautiful home above where shej
will forever be with loved ones'
gone on before.
.She joined the Baptist church
when quite a young woman, thus
giving her whole life to Jeans and
living a consecrated life to her
Almighty Maker.
Mrs. Ausburn had been sick for
several years. Besides her hus
l*and. she leaves four children, two
grown and two small ones at home;
tnrec brothers, two sisters and her
mother. Earth’s loss is heaven’s
gain. To the bereaved husband, !
motherless children and sorrowing
relatives and friends we extend'
our heartfelt symyathy.

Sterling Replies to Our
Maysvilie Correspondent.
Baldwin, Ga., R. J,
July 21, 1913.
Mr. Editor:
Please allow me space in your
paper to make a reply to our
Maysvilie Correspondent, who so
severely criticised me in The Jour
nal of June 21st.
Noiv, my dear sir or madam
(whichever it may be), you spoke
of “tight vise” as being a thing of
the past. It must have been but a
short while, or should have been
some time ago, for doesn’t physi
ology teach us that tight-lacing is
dangerous to the human body.
You also spoke of styles. We
have about come to the conclusion
that the styles have about run out
for those outrageous styles, which
are worn so much and just to catch
the “artistic eye of man.” For
when anew “mode” makes its
first appearance, they go right af
ter them regardless of price, looks
or injury to the human body.
Please don’t think that I want
to bca “Smart Aleck” in any way
whatever, but haven’t you noticed
in the daily papers of late where
the councils and mayors of differ
ent towns and cities have forbidden
the wearing of some of those styles
which come over from Paris and
London (we presume they come
via parcels post), and “high
heeled shoes”, whoop ee ! they are
gone too.
Now, my dear friend, J did not
personate any one whatever, but
merely wrote what I deemed proper
to the guilty party only.
I am real proud of the fact that
there are a few girls who have
enough inspect and reverence for
their bodies —those beautiful tem
ples of the Holy Spirit—not to de
form them by tight lacing. These
are the real thinking girls who
have enough foresight to see that
they, by doing what most thinking
young women are doing today,
will not bring pain and misery up
on, not only the girls, but the
toys of tomorrow.
Now, who is the girl that catches
the eye of the worthy young man f
Is she the one who is a slave to
Dame Fashion! Is she the one
who drinks (‘oca Cola ! Who talks
(bad things) about her friends
when they are out of her sight, etc.!
Nay! The young man with high
ideals pays no attention to these
flippant maidens. He sees that it
is only a waste of time, a lowering
of his standards to spend any time
in their company. He knows good
and well that he would never take
such a girl for a wife; hence, he
avoids her. And right here let
me tell you a little secret; the
above are some of the causes of so
many old maids and" girls without
sweet hearts now a days. There
are too many girls who are am
bitionless and without lofty ideals.
They seem to care only to have a
good time. “O he’s so cute,” they
say, if he has a buggy and horse to
carry them buggy riding on Sun
day afternoons. Now, what is the
logical Jesuit? Why, “like be
gets like”, or rather “like attracts
like”. The toy who wishes only
to have a big time is only too glad
to comply with her wishes.

hand, who is always sure to see
that papa’s tie is on straight and
his clothes are properly brushed
when he starts to church; she
whose amiable ways and large
heart makes her own brothers

She who only says things which
are good about anyone and leaves
the bad things unsaid, is the girl
