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.

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. The girl who is mama’s right Nails Creek. Rev. J. F. Goode filled his regu lar appointment here last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. John Strange spent last Sun day with homefolks. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Potts and little daughter, Thelma, visited Mr. G. M.

Notice—Re union- To the descendants and relatives of John Grill’eth: The re-union will be held on the 21st of August and every one is expected to be present by 10 o’clock, at the old John Grill’eth home place, near Hurricane Shoals.

Pleasant. 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 proud of her, is the type of a girl that every worthy young man de sires, yea, yearns to be his own. She who only says things which are good about anyone and leaves the bad things unsaid, is the girl whom the sensible young man seeks to find. Now, dear friend, I have no apologies to make whatever, and hereafter, if you wish to have any comments to make, especially on styles, please don’t to to hasty, and sign your full name. Respectfully yours, Steiu ino Peyton. NO. 16
