THE TENTILLE BOYCOTT.

Tho vounq men Of Tenville Ca. seem 10 have
rot themselves into a pretty predicament. a
.,o,t, ago the young men OF Tenville, Co., were
hoslfipc in the smiles of the young ladies' OF len
lilo Ga to-day they arc described as sitting
oround under the trees" locking gloomy, while
other Young men from other towns arc DasKmS
in the smiles The young men of Tenville should
he ashamed OF themselves. The whole State OF
Georgia should blush for them.
IL appears from n dispatch, which the Georgia
State authorities ought 10 have suppressed IN some
way. that three or four days ago Tenville young
man bearing the suspicious name of Alexander H.
Smart boosted publicly that he could call on any
voupr lady in town and receive a cordial welcome
They would all I've glad to see him, he explained
and spent most of their time waiting for him to
come Mr.. Smart thought he was doing some
thing highly humorous, but the fact was, as ne
has since learned, he was making the mistake 'oI
his life That very afternoon lie called on d
Young lady and asked her TO go 10 picnic with
him She replied that she had previous engage
ment Mr.. Smart retired somewhat crestfallen'
But what were his feelings the next day wnen
he saw the young lady appear at the picnic VIII"
a fourtcen-year-old boy This exclaimed AeA-
ander II. Smart, this Is indeed too much'
That evening he called a meeting Of the 1enVhe
young men, Every one was present. Mr. oHar'
explained how they had all been insulted through
him. He made vigorous speech, something alVi
the manner of Patrick Henry, and reSoiuuon
was finally passed to boycott the young ladies'
This was Saturday night. Sunday the young
ladies went 10 church alone, or with tnclr hV1e
brothers. The young men were naughty ana
carried their heads high 1t was their Ias'
proud moment Monday the young ladies' met
and resolved to boycott the young men. "orse
than this, they decided to acquaint the young
men of the neighboring towns with the sltua'ioi,
in Tenville and inform them that tractaDle anu
well-behaved toung men could find most ainlapie
and interesting lot Of young ladies at lehVlie'
The neghboring young men snapped at the OalV
and began visiting Tenvile in large numoerS'
The hearts of the Tenville young men sank within
them. They stood aghast. The hair OF several
of them began to turn white. They tried to IN
timidate the non-unon young men, but they wouid
not be intimidated. They tried to persuade them
TO come into the Tenville Amalgamated Society
of NIarrageable Young Men, but they would not
be persuaded In twenty-four hours the walking
delegate Of the union offered to withdraw their
boycott if the young ladies would do the same
The Most Worshipful President Of the Ienvile
independent Order of Federated Young Ladies
promptly replied that they should do nothing OF
the kind, as they were more than satisfied with
the situation Just as it stood. Then the young
men, as we said before, retired and began sitting
around under the trees" wishing that they had
never been born.
The Tenvilre young men have got themselves
into most awkward and painful position. Ihere
is but one thing that they can do-Surrender I'M
conditionally. Let them send word TO the girls
that their part of the boycott is off. and that
they are simply awaiting the pleasure of the
fair creatures in whose hands lie their future
destiny. This may be humiliating, but it is their
only hope
