BAD HABITS OF
YOUNG
(By Moses Register)
Young men, have you
stopped to count the bad habits
that you are cultivating? It is
only too true that many of our
bright young men are indulging
in habits that will lead them to a
bad reputation, in which state
they are almost useless to their
community and country at large.
The first of these * is that low,
but almost universal, practice of
drinking. Excessive drinking; all
sorts of drinking, just so the drink
contains intoxicating ingredients,
Why is it wrong that we take an
occasional stimulating dring? The
first reason is this: Young men
sometimes try to follow the ex¬
ample of intelligent, honorable
men. And again such men in-
dulge in an apparently harmless
drink at times. Perhaps it is
harmless so far as the drinker is
concerned, but what of the youth
who is following his example? If
ho thinks it harmless, will he not
drink, too? He will; and might be
lead to take another, and still an¬
other. and what is his destination!
Destruction, probably, F rom
whence comes the benefit of cxce.i-
sive drinking! From a physiolog¬
ical view the injuries received are
much greater than all the benefits
derived from it. From the stand-
point of a good reputation it is
very degrading. Where is the
drunkard who is fit for any posi-
tion of trust? He is physically,
morally and mentally incapable of
filling a responsible position,
The demand for good, sober men
is increasing. Why not prepare
to meet these demands.
There is surely no benefit de-
rived from alcoholic drinks. It
may be true that there is a tern-
porarv stimulation after partaking
freely of it, but the lmd feeling

Dear Mr. Editor:
I will send in a few items again
this week.
The heavy rainfall on last Sun¬
day afternoon was a great help to
the farmers throughout this sect¬
ion, as their crops needed rain very
much.
The remains of Mrs. Ellen Jur-
nigan were brought from V ay-
cross and interred in the Antioch
cemetery last Thursday morning,
Mrs. Jurnitran was a devoted
Christian mother, a faithful
er for Christ and a member of the
M. E. church. She has helped
to lead many a lost sinner to Christ.
She leaves five daughters, three
sons and many near relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. But
we know the Lord chasteneth
those he loves, and we must
the loss of this dear sister. Oh!
was hard to sec her die, but
all try to meet her some
day, Bye and bye.
Rev. O. L. Smith filled his
ular monthly appointment at
tioch church last Sunday

is superior to the
ant feeling. And, drunkard,
your conscience absolutely clear!
What is more of a source of pleas¬
ure than a clear conscience!
There are a very few who would
take a drink in the immediate
presence of a minister of God’s
gospel. Then why take it in the
presence of the Master rather
than (Iis servant? Do you hot
know that God always sees you?
The second of these devil’s suc-
cesses is causing folks to swear
and curse. Did anyone ever
profit by cursing and swearing? It
neither builds reputation nor re¬
tains the favor of God. It is un-
doubtedly absolutely wrong to in¬
dulge in the use of profane lan¬
guage. Can you not keep from
it! Yes, you can keep your tongue
from using such language in the
presence of ladies, Which is
worse using it in the presence of
ladies or in the presence of God!
When you curse it is invariably in
the presence of God. If you
you can abstain from the use of
profane language in the presence
of ladies, you can at all times.
What good does it do you to
curse! When you are angry, docs
it help to restore your good tem-
per? No, emphatically,
Another vice is using vulgar
language concerning ladies. It is
on ]y too true that this seems to be
almost an universal practice. It. is
absolutely wrong. Never, before
beginning a conversation, inquire
as to whether or not there are
any ladies near. Say nothing too
vulgar for them to hear,
If by this one person is changed
from wrong to right, my purpose
will hr.ve been accomplished to a
certain extent. If by it all would
do better, my purpose will have
been fully accomplished.
On last Suuday afsernoon, at
3:30 o'clock, the home of Mr. N.
J. Smith was the scene of a very
pretty wedding, the contracting
pirtics being Min Willie I>. Mc-
Quaig and Miss Lizzie Smith,
Rev. McQuaig officiating, The
attendants were Misses Mamie
Booth and Josie Hinson, and
Messrs. G. A. Smith and Dave
Herring. The bride wore a gown
of pretty white organdy, to which
nothing could be added to its
loveliness. The parlor was deco-
rated incut flowers. A large
circle of relatives and friends were
present to witness the ceremony.
The groom is a hustling young
man of Ware county, and a son of
Mrs. Mary J. MQcuaig, of Wire-
grass. The bride is the pretty
daughter of Mr. N. J. Smith, and
possesses many admirable traits of
character. Soon after the cere-
mony was over the happy couple
left for their future home near Ma¬
nor. We wish them much happi¬
ness and prosperity.
Mr. C. T. Hamilton was a visi¬
tor to Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Pitt¬
man’s Sunday afternoon.
I can hear the chime of wedding
bells still ringing lowly. Who is
next; wonder if all the girls are
going to marry. It seems so, any
way.
Mr. W. J. Rives has just re¬
turned from a fishing trip to Su¬
wannee river, and reports plenty
