Gazette: should be anal ized by tho women ot every sectiou before they attempt to usurp the political places ot men. Here i, the plan codensed: There is a woman in this town who has invented anew calling for women; she is a professional compan ion for women whose husbands are away. She will go to a house and be company for alone woman at #5 a week, or she will go out for the night at 75 cents an evening. She knows all the gossip anil will tell gossip for 50 cents a night extra. In families when there is a yonng woman with a bean, who is liable to talk in a low tone un.il 10 o'clock and then hush untill she is awaken by the front door slamming about midnight, the woman charges a dollar a night straight, making no reduction for long time contracts. In families where there is a boy who lies on his back anb screamos at bed time, the woman charges double rates. She is particu lar and very independent,.and as the clges grow in the town her bsiness is branching out, and she is said to he pitting money in the bank every Sat urday night.
