We never heard of so many in

deserted. Some are off visiting
relatives andl?rienns;some seek

camps; and still others are
arotmd dodging everyone who
mi adit be liable to serve legal pro
cess. In the meantime, Circuit
Court and the Grand Jury are in
session. These busy bodies will
no doubt be through visiting;
hunting jobs and looking like *
populist after an election as soon
as the Grand Jary is discharged.
We would rather hare an easy
conscience and visit relatives,
timber camps and look like a pop
after a Wynne Convention in
more suitable weather, when na
ture arrays herself in robes of
green and automobiles of ever
lasting sunshine.

A good joke is told on a you net
T*an living near this city who is
very bashful. He went to see his
best girl one night recently and it
began to storm. She told him it
would be a pity for himtogohome
in such a storm and asked him to
stay all night. He'did not have the
courage to refuse, so he said all J
right, and she went to prepare his
bed. When she came back imagine j
hersurpriseat finding him dripp
ing wet. She asked him where he
had been, and he told her be had
gone home after his night shirt.

We welcome Dr. Nusborn, our
new physician in our midst and
wish him a carload of success.
Xmas has once more come, but
Jim Crittenden has plenty of
wood. No wonder, a man of Jim’s
woodcutting propensities ought
to have wood.
Dr. R. Q. Patterson our wor
thy doctor has decided to make
his future at 1 Cot ten Plant-. We
are indeed sorry to see him leave
for he has made himself an al
most indispensable necessity in
our neighborhood, lie is a gen
tleman and attends strictly to
his own affairs. But as he has
left us we commend him to the
good people of Cotton Plant and
hope that fortune* may smile her
sweetest upon his every effort.
We are sorry that wo made a
mistake last week in regard to
the time of the wedding of Miss
Edna Taylor to Mr. W. L. Angus.
The ceremony will be soiemized
on Tuesday, Feb. 24th 1903, at
the Methodist church, 8:30 p. m.
Relatives and friends are cordial
ly invited.
On last Thursday one of our
boys Byron Walker, wa3 badly
bruised by riding on the local at
Augusta. It is ten thousand won
ders, he is still in the land of
living. On that very same local,
that very same evening, we no
ticed Walter Raney, Dent Perkins
and some other boys riding as
the freight was doing its switch
ing here. In giving this matter
publicity, we are prompted by no
other motive than the welfare of
our boys,the flower of our gover
ment in whose hands our all will
soon be placed. We have heard
the boys condemned and the offi
cials comdemned but the News
man is going to place the blame
on papa and mamma. The Bible
says “Rear a boy in the way he
should go and when he is old he
will not depart from it, ”on words
to that effect. Some say I have
done all I can. God pity such. You
know why boys loaf around on
our streets so much because
home is not what it ought to be.
Make your home pleasant and
your son and daughter will sing
from the fulness of their soul,
“There is no place like home.”
Will .you let your daughter loaf
the streets, smoke cigarettes and
cob-pipes, loiter about the depot
and ride the cars? No! If you can
manage your daughter, why not
control your sons and make men
out of them. The loafers dodge
the grand-jouries and grand-jury
dodgers are criminals. If they
have not committed a crime,they
are aiding and abetting in its con
cealment. We appeal to the par
ents to make home pleasant
guard your sons and daughters
and blame yourselves for your
negligence along thes9 lines. If
this train riding is not stopped, it
is only a question of time nntil
some home will be robbed of a
jewel or only a piece of it left.
