Semi-weekly independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1895-1897, 1896-02-29

Splat tlllc dSO, III VIII Dc remembered,
we spoke at length regarding the
forming of d Bachelors club in Ply
mouth. Now, we did not contemplate
speaking of this matter again, nor
wonld we but for the fact that Chris
Fisher. Chas, Shaded and three or four
Others. since the fight over the position
of kOkO, have become Stiif-necked re-
gardng their privileges as bachelors
and gaze with ill-cOncealed vanity in
the mirror eacn morning The cause
of this extraordinary exhibition was
brought about by our friend Chas.
Shadel who was discovered one morn
ing singing the sweet refrain, They're
None of Them Good Enough for Me"
Since that Chris Fisher has learned it,
and yesterday while the little birds were
attempting to warble we heard Upton
Stansbury humming the same tune. We
l.a.e also been informed this morning
that Messrs. Humphrey and Walters
have been practieing the same song as
duet.
The reason we do this little act of
kindness is, friend of ours who runs
paper and thought the bachelor column
all right, arranged the different members
on ), 10 and 20-cent counters, according
to age. One of the ladies of that city
sent tie editor communication, and
we reproduce it so that our friends
above spoken of will see there is no
need for them to feel SO confident about
the ladies of our city losing sleep over
their retirement from the matrimonial
arena. Here is the letter:
Editor of Breeze: Judging from the
list OF marriageable men given in re-
cent issue of The Breeze it appear S
that there is not much demand for hus-
bands. Some are offered at cost while
others are on the five-cent counter.
DO you really think you have offered
any bargains? Or would they be dear
at any price?
Some are warranted, but warranted
for what?
Warranted to curse and swear if his
wife asks for little money, or she sug-
gestS that she would like To 90 To some
entertainment and would he accompany
her?
Warranted to tip his hat and be SO
very polite To other women and to
frown and never have a pleasant look,
much less pleasant word for his wife
Warranted to take his meals at the
hotel or restaurant when he gets a
little pouty or does not furnish as good
for the family as he would like to
have?
Warranted to mistreat his wife in
every way he can and put on smiling
face to the public simply because he
thinks she can't help herself?
Warranted to stay out nights and
leave the woman alone that in his mar.
} riage vows he promised to love and pro-
tect?
Is he protecting her when he is out
until the midnight hour spending his
time and money In riotous living?
, God will hold him accountable at the
last day, but is that doing his family
any good?
Warranted to make everything pleas
) ant and convenient for himself and tt
, see how little pleasure his wife anC
family can have?
Warranted to growl continuously a
his family having the necessaries of lll'
l or having anything to make lif,
e pleasant To them, while he spends
, money freely and is having jolly, goot
. time?
Warranted to let his wife know tina
: he is the head of the family and has /
4 in his power To make life miserable TO
her and he will use his own pleasur
about il, which means more thai
tongue can tell?
DO you wonder that we girls are sloy
about increasing the demand for hus
= bands when we can see every day, mar
q ried men with all the above faults an,
many more?
One look into the face of some o
q the wives i'm this town tells us too plain
S ly of the trouble they are trying to con
/. ceal. Another look at the husbands ex
- plains all.
Just notice the married men that ar
