Entered at the J’opt Office at rurteraville, Ua., as mail matter
of the second
GKT A HUSBAND.
The following is sai<i lo have appeared in th
Now Ymk World • ome yearipago:
Have }uu a little hns baud ir your home?
For what is home without one of these, oh,
my danghtei f
Even as a Christmas tree without the trim*
ixnngs.
Behold, a husband is the trimming on the tree
of life.
He is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
He is a detoration and a badge of merit more
to be cherished than a Carnegie medal.
But a maulesS woman is an abomination under
the sun, she shall be ca i ’t out and covered with
scorn.
The scoffers shall seoff at her, and waiters,
porters aun janitors shall not bow down before her
Uet behold, when anything in trousers appear
eth at her aide, she shall be covered with reflected
glory.
For io, a woman is only a womau, but a man
though lie be bald, and fat, and grouchy, and
bayed at the edges, i; a man lor a’ that. And h ■
look eth a tip.
Go to, she that hath not a husband shall find
all her days flat, stale and unprofitable.
But a husband shall give thee work for thy
hands to do.
Vea, he shall scatter thy carpets with ashes
and newspapers; he shall make lades in his socks
that thou may amuse thyself in darning them; and
he shall burst off his buttons that thou mayest put
them on again.
And what is life without an occupation?
Alas, how shall a lone woman bear the monot
ony existence with none to criticise and none to
argue with her, with no one to dictate unto her
and nothing to get upon her nerves. For behold,
a housenold w ithout the morning row and the eve
ning jar is more insipid than a village without
scandal.
Therefore,.l charge thee, get thee an husband
ea, verily, verily, even a bought, borrowed
or stolen husband is better than none at all.
for what profiteth it a woman, though she
have every other luxury*!n ail the world, and have
not a little a husband m her home? Selah,
We can see very well why the doctors cling so
to ethics. No physician would care to advertise
“Fits guaranteed.”
CONCERNIG THE ARMY.
The life of a,soldier is not so bad a proposition,
alter all. The army is composed of an excellent
elass of young men, intelligent and ambitions, far
above the aveiage American citizen in the ele
ments that go to make op manhood.
The soldier is supplied w ith all neoeeessitiesef
lite by the government free, medical attention
lree, dental treatment t ree, and should he be sick
the best of care is taken of him in a first class lios
pital under trained doctors and his pay runs on
without deduction for time lost provided of course
his sickness is not due to his own misconduct. In
any case however the government bears all the ex
peoses of his sickness.
The term of enlistmeut is seven years, three
years ou active duty and four years on reserve or
if sufficiently’ well trained, he may be furloughed
to the reserve at the end of one years active duty,
when on reserve he passes practically back into
civil life goes, where lye pleases, enters into any
busiuess he may see tit to enter, lit* stands ready’
however to return to active duty in time of public
danger.
The physical development of men in the army
is wonderful, due to regular habits best strength*
ing- foods and systematic training. Some of the
finest specimens ot manhood can be lound in the
T . $. Army and all are physically good.
Every regiment has a chaplain and every post
® A., where the moral and religions
training of the soldier is carefully looked after,
and also his amusement.
. Minstrel shows, moving pictures, hand cop.
cei ts, etc., are frequently given tor the benefit of
the soldier, and under the direction of the athletic*
officer, basebad and football jjames, bowling, hand
ball and all athletic sports are encouraged in every
way practicable. Fisbingaud huntiug are provid
ed foi and encouraged, the government furnishing
the guns and amunition free of cost to the soldier.
Mental development is carefully provided for
Schools whereiD the soldier may obtain vocation
al training in the mechanical arts or agriculture are
provided and kept up at government expense.
iTdmction is offered the soldier to the grade
•of Non Commissioned .Officer carrying pay as
much as *99 per month (which is clear money)
the government bearing all necessary expenses a*
food, clothing, medicines, medical attention, etc.
Finally the health of the army is a great deal
better than the health of civilliaus due to regular
living systematic training and healthful exercise
Promotion to the grade of Commissioned Ofli
eer is offered on examination to all soldiers after
two years service and between the ages of *j a „ i
30. 1
ApiKjintme.it as a cadet to the United ,
military academy at West Point. N. y ratc
petit* ve examination, is offered the sof.j, V. rOUI '
one years service and between the ages * a * ter
21 years, where he may receive an education T*
oml to none in the United .States.
Should war come which thearmv m
the civiban population of the United States j JO
may lie averted, wonldlt not lie better to go train
ed than to have to go as a raw recruit. -Now is the
time—Get your training and be ready to be ready
lo be a leader it war does come which is believed
by many to lie not far distant.
THE STATE ROAD,
Public interest in tin* state’s railroad, the
western & Atlantic seems to have receded into a
kind of placid acceptance of the disposition of the
property an made by the railroad commission, but
as long as the road exists and belongs to the , t ate
people have a light fo discuss matters pertaining
to .t and they will continue to do so as occasion
m;*> arise which will probably be rather seldom
The supreme court’s decision that the anti-para
telling act, IS unconstitutional sets at rest the ques
tion of allowing other roads to be built that may
run in the same direction. The question of a sale
lor a long space, at least covering the life time of
most of the people now living is set at rest by the
new lease.
However, it is at least interesting to havejno
tioed a gradual growth of sentiment favoring such
a disposition of the property.
1 ouehiug and the decision of the
court in the anti-paralleling act, the Albany News
says:
Because the Western & Atlantic railroad is
the State’s property tin* policy of the legislature
and of one admiuh tration after another has been
to “protect” it against competition, refusing char
ters to any and all proposed railroad enterprises
that proposed to parallel or become actual comp*-
titqrs of the state’s own property. And all this
in the lace of the fact that the state laws for the
encouragement and maintenance of railroad eompe
titron and established a railroad competition and
established a Railroad Commission upon which was
conferred, the power to regulate rates, enforce
open competition and prevent anything like di >
crimination.
In other words, the state has b. ert protect
ing its own railroad against competition and rival
lines while enacting and enforcing law s compelling
open competition and prohibiting all manner of
discrimination by all otfier railroad lines or inter
ests.
Ihe policy of the state with reference to the
XT T . i , .
v ' railroad has been a standing
reproach Lo the state’s character ever since the
establishment of the Railroad Commission, w hen
the state undertook to regulate the transportax
tion business by selling its own railroad property.-
It ran not hi* fair to other 1 ail road interests while
owning a railroad of its own end maintaining a
discriminating policy of protecting it from compe
tition. And a great state which undertakes to en
force a principle ora policy in the affairs of its
1 copie ought itself to set an example worthy of
emulation. Georgia has certainly not done this in
connection with the Western & Atlantic railroad.
The state’s ow nership of the Western & At
lantic railroad has been u barrier and obstacle to
competition for many years, for it has been impos
sible for u competing IBh* to get a charter. The
decision which has been finally handed down by
the Supreme Court Will now open the way for a
competing line, however, and w hat has been a
standing reproach upon the state is removed.
Jf Governor Hams puts off the calling of that
extia session of the legislature much longer it looks
like there might eome a clash ot prerogative-.
We’ve paid the advance in the cost of eats,
clothing, shoes and print paper and have managed
to live through it, but this boost in the price n f
eigaiettes and puff bags is too intolerable too bear,
we demand an investigation.
It looks like she Anti-saloon League mieht
th.’ow away their guns.
l'l-om now on beware how you make a wrv
face.

she had been there for some time.
