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. Unclk Bob District S. S. Convention. The 13tli District of the Georgia Sunday School Association met at Milledgeville on the 13th of April at the Presbyterian church at 10 o’clock a. in. C. P. Crawford, the President, was in his place in tlie chair. The Secretary being absent, John Turner was elected secretary. Devotional services by Bro. Turner, from Han cock. The roll of counties was called and the following delegates were pres ent: Warren, no delegate; Putnam, no delegate; Jasper, no delegate; Wiikinson, no delegate: Hancock, John Turner; Baldwin, J. R. King, G. T. Whilden, W. T. Conn, Mrs. Hines; L. H.Wood, Mrs.Mary Thomas, Miss Julia Moore; T. T. Windsor, K. G. Matheson; Mrs. G. D. Myrick, Dr. Hardeman, D. W. Brown, George Kemp, .7. T. Fared, E. C. Ramsey, C. R. Harper. On motion the con vention proceeded to elect delegates to the State Convention to represent this county (Baldwin) to meet at Americas, and that the other counties constituting the district be empower ed to elect their own delegates. The following delegates were elected from this county: C. P. Crawford, K. G. Matheson and B. T. Bethune, and empowered to appoint their own al ternates in the event they cannot at tend. Adjourned with benediction by Rev. J. R. King. C. P. Crawford, Chairman. John Turner, Secretary. 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. __ Ice cream cakes, ginger pop, soda, sarsaparilla and other cool, cheap, wholesome drinks may all be had at the Ice House.

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.
