are, would blush to a crimson to see
the sidewalks of this town lined with
crowds of young girls and men from
sundown to ten O'Clock at night; they

of the opposite sex. We are sorry to
call attention to this; however, in the
future will give you more details on
this subject, if not advise the mothers
to keep their girls at home after dark.
