Grady County Progress ROBERT H. HARRIS ) ROBERT L. KINCAID ( Associate Editors. Entered as mail matter of the second-class at the Cairo, Ga., Post Office, July 22, 1910. WHAT ABOUT OUR FUTURE? Of our girls? Which means of our The Invariable Rule. In all well-regulated printing ni * ht * lins attended preaching Sunday cam said corporation is that of ginning ■ ' * * * —sllfni Of our boys? country? We are asking a very serious question. A question which it behooves us, all, to consider. And a question to which there is a discoverable answer. In public discourse, this writer has often used these words: Our boys are the hope of our country. The strict, inward meaning of which expression may be fairly rendered thus: The hope of our country is in our boys. Which is the same as saying, The future expectation of our country is bound up in our boys. Or, fully explicated, Our country can expect nothing in the future, can legiti mately hope for nothing in the days to come, better than the boys of the present day are making for it—and of it. What are they doing about it? But the girls are also to be considered in this same question of the hereafter. As a matter of fact, the moral complexion of the future is largely pre-dependent upon the girls of today. Then, what are the girls of the now doing, (no matter how unintentionally), with reference to the then? For, as with the boys, so with the girls, whether they deliberately purpose such or not, their doings of to day are their makings for tomorrow. Let us now consider somewhat closely, the pending question; What about the future of our country? And first, with reference to the boys. For it is incon- trovertibly true that no matter how potential, or even po tent, feminine influence may be, the country is going to continue, (for a long time, at least), under masculine do mination. Now, please remember that we are not talking about your boy. Every crow’s young ones, you know, are as white as snow. The trouble is with other people’s boys. And we are sure of your approbation in anything we may say about them. Then, let us proceed to say it. And that end we pur pose to accomplish by the answers you are going to make to our questions. How many boys, of ages between seven and twenty years, have you seen who manifest no respect for old peo ple? for ladies? for ministers of the gospel? How many especially under fifteen, who show no regard for the pro prieties, in public places?-Acting the parts of toughs and hoodlums, about the doors of churches; in the postoffice lobby; at the entrances, along the corridors and within the auditorium of the court house, at concerts and other pub lic entertainments; around the musicians when the band plays on the street; ripping and tearing among the grown people assembled on such occasions; yelling, shrieking noisily whistling, snatching hats and caps, throwing mud and dirt, or hard pasteboard fans with the handles brok en off, in every direction, utterly regardless of consequenes to heads and faces of ladies and gentlemen? And how often have you seen some of the parents of such rowdies standing or sitting by and making no effort to restrain their shameless offsnring from such horrible rudenp^? But why write this? Who will read? Ah there! Who indeed? What do boys betwaen the ages specified-and even older-read, anyhow? How often have you seen kids o- pen the daily papers in the portoffice lobby, to read- 7 The base ball news! And that’s all! s f n Francisco may have been swallowed by an earth quake. That s nothing.

In many cases, such a rule would appear un necessary: but if anonymous ar ticles of a harmless character were allowed, the same privilege could be claimed for those of an other character. Therefore, no deviation from this universal rule can be permitted. H. Epworth League Program. Tuesday Evening Sept. 5, 1911. Topic ‘ ‘The Debt of the Gospel.'* Leader Miss Susie Stubbs.
