must be a wild set, Judging from
the Gazette's answer to the ques-

Tonight ?" That paper says:
"He is on the understanding,
drinking, swearing, carousing. He
is busy training himself for drunk
ards couch or a felon's cell. This
is his nightly occupation-here IN
Raymond-and the public knows it
if the parents are blind to it. And
while on tho subject, it may be re
marked that this town has the
worst set ofl9 year old boys ever
raised anywhere. Chicken roosts
attests 1t, whisky orders prove it,
and empty cigar boxes show 1t.
Loafing, ungentlemanly behavior,
and obscenitv is the order Of the
night"
Poplarville is almost paradise

spects; for we think that 1t can
truthfully be claimed thatthis com =

the street. .
A well bred woman never talks
about her personal affairs in public
places.
A well~bred woman doesn't let a

her.
A well-bred woman doesn't read
her morning mail in the street
cars.
A well-bred woman doesn't tell
he name of any celebrity she may
have met when che is travelling.
A well-b bred woman Is quiet and
refined; a man is proud to be seen
with her, and he can pick her out
from among thousand, which is

woman can do"
True and tried friends are always
welcome, consequently "Vick's
Floral GUIDE is sure of a warm
reception, especially when dressed

religious husband kept drying at
him until she finally got him to go
to church. Now mark how she was
rewarded. Instead OF Following the
service he looked at the congrega-

handsomely the other women were

pricked him to the heart as no
words of the minister could, and
the next day he gave his wife $500
and told her to 60 and buy some
clothes"
Bashful young men may gain a
useful hint from Mr.. Hazletine's
