The Arm Clutch.
Mr. Editor: Did you know the
Elides still hold on to tlie arm clutch?
1 liain’t seen nothing about it in your
paper for a long time, and 1 thought
it had had its brief day ami had died
1111 ignominious death. But faint so.
1 suppose you don’t stop at the
church door, and observe the degen
erate sons of noble sires, come in with
their hacks bent, holding on to the
arms t>f sweet misses. Neither do I;
hut the other night, in coming out,
the old woman sorter stopped to say
howdy to an old friend, and while I
was looking among the young lulks,
(for the old woman, you know,) 1 saw
would you believe it? the gentlemen,
so-called, take the ladies by the arm,
nearly every time. Why sir, it made
Jne so narvous that 1 like to forgot
myself and jumped in among them and
hollered,; ‘ Hold, enough.” And that
would’nt a done for a Christian man.
But for a fact, it did make me feel
right sick: and I tell you 1 just
thought I’d quit going to church
Sunday night, if Bro. King did’nt tell
them young men they must quit do
ing that way. He aint, afraid and
speaks right out and tells them they
mus’nt talk in church, and I don't see
why he should’nt go a little further
and say “nor take hold of the girls
arms either when they start home.”
(Say, lot me whisper, yon don’t reck
on a tall, manly fellow like Tom Mor
ris, lias any sympathy with the
clutchers, do you? 1 should say not,
for ho seems pretty stilf in the back,
and eould’nt well get down to tliat
sort of business. Besides it looks so
nice, and stands to reason, that a
young woman should cling to the
arm of a man, like a vine to a tree—
eli Mr. Editor? Well, then, as you and
Torn seem to be working harmoni
ously for the good of the community,
perhaps you can get him to hurl a
whole avalanche of his “sixteen-for-a-
quarter” flings at this arm-clutch busi
ness and crush it out at once.)
Now, just one word, in conclusion;
you know tlie power of the press,
and I hope you will never “let up”
on this “freak of fashion” until you
have pressed it out of existence.

The 13tli District of the Georgia

We heard a llttla boy of nine or ten years
of age the other day bagging ft young rn-u
for a cigarette with a dogged and shame
less persistsaoe that was really painful
as wsll as disgusting and when his request
was (very properly) refused over and over
again, i he used a very disrespectful and in
solent remark as he went off. We know
his father wall *nd we are sure he does
know of hla little soe's Indulgence in the
pernicious habit of cigarette smoking, ss
it ib reasonable to believe he does indulge,
when he can succeed in begging the pois
onous things from those older than him
self. The question is how msny chape of
similar age and propensities are addicted
to the earns bad habit and guilty of simi
lar bad manners in this community? It
was a riisre aecidsRt ws witnessed the
shore incident? How many mors chaps
among us are travelling the same down
ward path? We think fathers would do
well to look after their boys andl lesrn
their waye before they shall have gone too
far for correction. __

afternoon. Capt. Matheson is an ac

The Methodist Sabbath School de
cided, last Sunday, to have their an
nual pic nic on Friday, 6th of May,
at Carrington’s grove. It is expected
that all the schools in the city will
unite on the time and place.
All butchers are joked occasionally
about tough beef. Our elever friend,
Mr. J B. Pounds, to whom our citi
zens are indebted for the best beef
market this town has ever had, retal
iates, when such insinuations arc
made against liis beef, by saying that
he will furnish teeth to chew ins beef
in case any one should be deficient in
grinders. Some time ago lie found a
good set of false teeth and he keeps
them ready to loan to his patrons
who complain of tough beef.
We learn that Mr. G. T. Whilden
lias purchased-the Turner lot, adjoin
ing liis new residence on Jefferson
street, and will replace the old build
ing with a new one of modern struc
ture. Mr. W. is an enterprising citi
zen and is contributing largely to tiie
building up of the old town. Success
to him.

Meat Refrigerator.
Mr. J. B. Pounds, who lias supplied
this market with fresh meats so ac

business in the same acceptable man

he lias purchased a large and costly
rofrigerator, where fresh meats can
be kept cool and clean, during tlie

will be appreciated and Mr. Pounds
will receive a liberal patronage during
