DON'T Do TIT is lamentable
fact that some of our young ladies are
flirts. You need but keep your eyes
open to see that such is the case. 1t is
"A bad practice and can only make the
person who does it ridiculous. 1t may
be that Martinsburg is no more stocked
with flirts than any other burg, but still
even the small number here could be
reduced if they would but reason. No
one of good taste admires flirt; no one
wishes their children to keep company
with such person. What is more dis
tasteful or disgusting as to see young
lady walking along the street and at
every other yard looking back and smil-
ing at some gentleman 1t may be
funny, but it is dangerous fun. Such a
person may claim she does it to fool the
young men. but IL generally turns, and
she is the one duped. Now, young
ladies', be more womanly. more self-re-
specting, and live for something better
1t is a habit, and like all other habits
will grow. Stop now, before it masters
you.

w. Curriden has been appointed Post
master Of Chambersburg rice Col. ID. G..

"Lntterly Mr.. Curriden has been

said, engaged on Postmaster General
Hatton's newspaper there, the National
Republican. Through this connection,
it is presumed, be secured the Postmas-

We have to smile at this shot, with
all due respect to Mr.. Curriden. It was
this same Hatton and the National Re
publican that did similar work in Mar
tinsburg. The gang have, and in thr
future " i'll reap beautifully of the whirl-
