THERE arc some men in our town

Whenever they have goofs TO sell
They straightway advertise.
And when they find their goods are gone,
With all their might and main,
They hurry in another lot
And advertise again.

IT may be an unsophisticated or
impious notion, but whatever it is it
strikes us very squa.e'y that parents
would accommodate the public by
keeping their children at hons upon
such occasions as the funeral Of last
Monday. When the procession reached
the M. E. Church it was found that

The presence Of children adds nothing
to the imprelsiveness or greatness Of
an occasion Of any kind, for nothing
more than the qualification Of an idle
curiosity rarely promr is their attend

the world for its display. Parents,
give older people chance by leaving
the children at home when you GO
