Good breeding, like charity, should begin at home. The day is past when children used to rise when their par ents entered thi room when they were and stand until they had received per mission to sit. But the mistake is now made usually in the other direction allowing to small boys and girls too much license to disturb the peace of the household. We think the best way to train children in courtesy would be to observe toward them a scrupulous . po liteness. We would go so far a3 to say that we should make it as much a point to listen to chiljren without interrupt ing them and to answer them sincerely and respectfully as if they were grown up. And, indee i many of their wise, quaint sayings are far better worth listening to than the stereotyped com monplaces of the morning cullers. Of course, to allow uninterrupted chatter would be to surrender the repose of the The Famous Sunny South B U G G \ / \ V11 \ /X W/WX Are you considering a ouggy?

E.BECKER MILLEDGEVILLE, GA r 1 ^++4 f 1 Parents keep your boys off the street, especially after dark. You know not what annoyance these little fellows are, besides they learn all kinds of mean ness, picking up all the slang phrases uttered by other boys who have forgot ten the prayers taught them at their mother's knee when they, too, were innocent little tots like your own boys j now. If you have nice beautiful yards, . household, but it is very easy, if child allow your boys to play in them, never i ren themselves scrupulously re scolding them for their merry laughter, ' spocted, to teach them in turn scru for ’tis better far to be annoyed at j Piously to respect the convenience of home than to have them mixed up in an ethers, and to know when to talk and ugly affair on tfie street of which you | when to be silent, know nothing until it has grown cold | If a child is brought up in the con on every one’s tongue.

Wo have heard the children of this household, when their mother had failed to say any word of commendation after some social occasion, ask as an xiously as possible, “What was it, mamma? I know something was wrong. Didn’t we treat the other dhild- ren well, or were we too noisy?” In that, house reproof was never bestowed unsought—only commendation, of what ever it was possible to commend, was gratutious. We think this system would be as good for those grown-up children, the husbands and wives, as for those still [ in the nursery. That Dreary Parlor. We do wonder why people try so hard to make their houses ugly, inside and out. They spend dollars, yes, lots of them, too—in filling their dwellings with what is neither useful nor orna mental, when a few cents and perhaps a little more serse would have made them handsome, The best parlor, what misery sits enthroned within its 1 for bibing doors! When you make a visit you are invited within its sacred portals, The door creaks, as if pro testing against the invasion. A clarn- ! my atmosphere envelops you as you , enter that makes you involuntarily shud- ! der and wonder if fhe room is haunted. You sit on a hair cloth chair ar.d clutch frantically at the arms to keep from slipping off. The ambrotypc3 of de ceased uncles and cousins and aunts look down at you from their oval frames and j scowl. The whatnot in the corner is I covered with pric-a-brac intended to ba ornamental, but which looks more like some play hou.->c replete with broken j dishes and empty bottles, and kept in j the best room in memory of some child, dead years ago. You feel in your bones that there has been no one in that room for months before and that when you go out it will once more be sealed like j a tomfc and left to the care of the re latives on the wall. You long for a glimpse of the sunlight out of doors. If you could see a hat or a coat lying I carelessly about to denote that you were $12.75 -TO- $*2.75 WASHINGTON, D.

You wish you could find a cat in the room and step on its tail, or run a pin into the old aunt who looks lown from the wall with a stony stare at least fifty years old, or kick the hair cloth chair right into the whatnot, or do anothing to cause a little commotion and an appearance of life.

A New York paper recently offered a prize for the best thought on “How to Manage a Wife.” The following was awarded the prize: "'Manage?' What is that? Does it mean to control? We manage a horse. We use our su perior human intellect to control and guide has superior physical strength so us to obtain the best results. But a wife is not a horse. Where two persons are well married, the wife i) superior to her husband in as many respects as he is superior to her in others. If hap piness is to be the result of the union the first business of the husband is to manage himself so as to keep himself always his wife’s respectful friend, always her tender lover’ always her equal partner, always her superior pro tector. This will necessarily stimulate the wife to be always an admiring friend, always an affectionate sweet heart , always n thrifty housewife, al. ways a confiding ward. And this will so react upon the husband that his love for liis wife will grow so as to mako it easy for the husband, with all his faults, to bear with the infirmities of hi3 ‘one and only’ wife.” . o o o j Old tune.* are sweetest and old friends are best. ooo v A sunny disposition is to be chosen above great riches. u u u It is only when to-morrow’s burden is added to the bur len of today that we can't bear it. THE ‘09 HARRIED CLUB 18 CAUSE BE COMMENT i The news item carried last week con veying information to the public that an even dozen young men of Milledge- ville would be married before Christmas caused much comment, not only in Mil- lodgeville^, but throughout the state. Since that time four additions have been made to the list and it now numbers sixteen members. Of course, soma of the eventful af fairs may not be consummated, but if the best laid plans of men and women count for anything they will be realiz- ed. A movement is now on foot to get the initiation of the eulb members com pleted and as soon as this is done their names will be published.
