These appropriations grow large with every new egis a uh. m,,s

WHAT ABOUT IT, GIRLS?
i>ji*ls and wmiiiMi of lo<lny lo immy things, dross in many "ays
and dance so differently from the days of our mot liens and grand
mothers. , . | ~
These innovalions are no more to be condemned, perhaps than
those of men. for lliey, too, have wandored far from the paths of
right condnuet and sane li\ ing. . .
The only difference is, that we expect and demand more o! girls
and women, hecause we have always considered them purer and
possessing higher ideals and more concerned as to the proprieties
Will, a || „f the gradual changing in our civilization diluting the
past 1 1 ft \ years no change has hern more shocking and more In lie
regretted than that of styles for women in their dress, the kind of
fiances in which mothers engage and allow their daughters to par
ticipate and the lowering of the social standard upon which depends
the safety of our girls and our womanhood.
The Times cannot refrain from copying the following from the
riarlevoix Courier, of Michigan, for the benefit of girls and mothers
who seem to never think on these things:
Backward, turn hack" aril. <>li Time in your eight, give
usa girl with skirts not so tight : give us a girl whose charms
many or lew, are not so exposed hy too much peek-a-boo: give
IIS a gi.l. no mailer wh at age. who wont use the street for a
vaudeville stage; give us a girl not too shapely in view , dress
her in skirts the sun can’t shine through.
And give us the dancers ol days gone by. with plenty o!
steps not so high; put turkey trol capers and buttermilk
slides, hurdy-gurdy Iwists and wiggletail glides and other
such bunny lings all on a level as products ol hell inspired by
the devil. And let us feast our optics once more on the pure,
sweet woman of the days of yore. Vi's. Time turn backward
and grant our request !\ir (!nd s richest blessing, hut not un
dressed.

t „ YOU WILL SOON BE FORGOTTEN.
This is an age when a merchant or any other line ol trade musiit
keep before the public.
A man is soon forgot lon after death, however great and prominent
he may have been dinning his life of activity.
So many merchants reach the conclusion they are too well known
ami too strongly established in their business to advertise and keep
their names before the public.
h'rom tli Griffin Daily News Sun wo quote the following on tills
line and command it 1 oiiru merchants and business men.
Many merchants think Hint their names are so well known
Unit they do not need to do any advertising. They, however,
forget that every year brings into trade anew generation of
dealers and hut a certain per cent of the older ones remain.
They also forget how easy it i,s lor one to drop the calcudai
of time or to pass oul of recollection unless the cobwebs in
memory’s chain are constantly brushed up by keeping one’s
name before his friend, the public. The tact ot letting the
public know that you uaro still in trade brings many a grist
to the mill that would otherwise stop somewhere else. Men
in trade are never too well known to leave their business out
of the columns of the newspaper s,
O
ALMANAC OF 1865.
IMr. S. A. Wilkins, of Winder, brought to The Times office lliis
week a copy of Grier’s almanac, for the year IStin, which lie has pre
served during allot’ these on years.
This almanac was issued during the closing year of the end ot
toe civil war and a few months before the Confederate States wer*
forced to yield to superior numbers and accept defeat.
It carries the mind hack to a period in history which should be
sacred to every Southern man.
Milledgeville was then the capital of Georgia and Joseph h. Brown
was governor. „
It temiiids us of the dark days of reconstruction, which soon bil
lowed. when the white men of Georgia were controlled by negroes,
mid carpet-baggers from the north.
The present attitude of the republican party, in ignoring white su
premacy in the South, reminds one very much of tli time following
.shortly after the publication of this almanac.
