gone and in order to close out what is left we will continue

REUNION MUSIC.

The music committee Of the Inter
State Reunion Association met on
Wednesday morning and employed
the Columbus band TO furnish mu-
sic during the big reunion. The
contest was between Girard and
Columbus, hut the bid of the Col
umbus band was $50 lowest. Some
of the committee wanted the Girard
band because il was here last year
free of charge for two days. The
Girard band makes fine music and
it's members are perfect gentlemen,
but the difference of $50 was busi-
ness proposition that could not be
overlooked.

wOMANs WORST ENEMY

Is woman. This is an old saying,
but it's as true today as il ever was.
Let woman, no matter how good
or how virtuous, look sidewise or
laugh while talking to gentleman
and she will be Immediately talked
about by a set of women of the
"holier than thou" sort. If wo-
man tries to be cheerful or mirth-
full, or sees something humorous
once in a while and smiles at il, at
once there is great wagging of
the tongues of scandal and she is
made to suffer. We are sorry to say
that Baxter Springs has a few Of
these scandal mongers, who rejoice
in defaming some woman's charac-
ter, some who are ever on the alert
for chance to attack somebody's
character with their tongues. We
have in mind about a dozen of these
self.constituted critics as we write
And we want to say right here that
they should be ostracised by socie.
ty for "a while and in such a manner
that they should know why. Let a
man make sighting remarks about
woman and he is liable TO get
deeply into trouble. yet these "holi-
er than thou" people may talk and
roll scandal under their tongues
unfounded scandal-and nothing is
done about il. Their victims, how
ever, must necessarily suffer.
Down with the scandal mongers.
