The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1858-02-12

"Gor."-This word is very improperly
used on many occasions. We have heard
the tobacco chewer thus address his friend:
"Sam have you got any tobacco!" 1t would
have sounded much better and been more
grammatical-"Sam have you any tobacco"
The merchant says we have got no sugar
Why not say, we have no sugar! The word
is incorrectly used in colleges, academies,
schools, halls of legislation; with the lawyer,
mechanic, doctor, farmer and merchant; and
in all ofthese institutions, and with all of
these institutions, and with all of these pro-
fessions, and among all the classes here
enumerated, they would be benefited by n
little reflection and study, and thereby see
the propriety of avoiding the too frequent
usa of the word "got," when there is no ne
nessity for it.
Wonder what the author of the above
"got" for his pains!

Pretty Woman.

A pruttv woman is one Of the "institu-
tions" Of the country--an angel In dry
goods and glory. She makes sunshine,
blue sky and happiness wherever she goes.
Her path one of del, cious roses, per-
fumes and beauty. She is poem, wri /.
ten in rare curls and choice calico. and
good principles. Her words float round
the ear liks music, birds Of Paradise. or the
chimes ofSabbath bells. Without her So
ciety would lose its iruest attractions, the
Church it's irmast reliance, and young men
the very best Of comforts and oompany--
Her influence and generosity restrain the
vicious, strengthens the weak. rails the
lowIy, fanel shirt the heather, and
strengthens the faint heart. Wherever
you end the viItuous Womau, you also fiud
Ere eide boquets. clean clothes. order good
living. gentle hearts. music. lighJ and
model Institutions generally. She is th,
flower Of humanity. avery Venus in diyin
ity. and her inspiration Is the very brsatl
Of heaven.
