A PETTY PoNE OF GINGERCAKE
A PEl14 PUNE VI UINUERCAkE
From
HETTISTONE- D. LIMBERFAKE
For
PETTIBONE B. TIMBERLAKE.
For

Age of CONSENT" Consent. indeed!
The law which claims a child may be
Responsible at ten if She
Should be the victim of assault
By lust so gross 1t would not halt
To spare the helpless child of ten
Placed at his mercy by the men
Who pirate of virtue-it and they
Are strangers as are night and day.
Ali Pettib0ne b. Timberlake,
l fear your virtue is a fake.
If you would have us think you good,
That you respected womanhood,
Get something real then to fight,
A wrong that needs to be made right.
Allow child to be a wife
As young as she may blight her life
Conserving to her own disgrace,
Enthroning vice in virtues place.
Conserving to-she knows not what,
Ye gods! on manhood what blot
Is such a law age of CONSENT
To spare the villain its intent
And throw on innocence the fault
OF any libertine's assault.
Now, Pettibone B. Timberlake,
If you should wish fames thirst to Stake
Get you a wheel and mount at once,
Leave in the rear the knave, the Ounce,
And forge your way by rapid strides
On toward the 'front.' where woman rides.
Too late to head her off it is;
So all that you can hope to do
Is keep her dwindling form in view,
She'll reach the ballot box on time,
Dismount her wheel with grace sublime,
And cast a little paper white
To relegate to ceaselesS night
Deluded, hapless Pettbone,
And all with records like his own.
The narrow-minded bigot, cheat,
Sh'll vote into a private seat.
His place with real worth supplied,
She'll mount her wheel and off she'll ride,
To where another duty calls,
AT home or Legislative halls;
To guide, to teach to learn, debate
The interests of the home the state;
The child to rear; the street to pave;
The nome to guard; the nation save;
These will appeal to women good,
As every public question should.
For public good they'll speak and vote;
In politics they'll launch and float;
Help purify the dreadful mire,"
From public cribs to rodents fire.
While all along the changing line
Sad "statesmen(O out of jobs will pine.
The politician, out of style,
Will decorate the funeral pile;
And Pettibones all sad and meek
Diyested of their gall and cheek,
Will then be in their proper sphere
In memory'S hall upon a bier.
Then men and women laws will frame,
Laws fit to live and bear the name.
All Pettibone B. Undertake,
IT'S clear you've made sad mistake,
And If for 1t you would atone,
You'd better hustle, Pettibone;
Your chance is going, going, gone,
The while the band is playing on.

WRST END GOSSIP.
Much Interested in the Proposed College
Social and Otherwise.

West End is considerably interested
in the matter of the college to be estab-
lished by the Cumberland Presbytery.
Several places have bid for it, but West
End is making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure it, Mass meetings are being held
and a committee, of which Maj. VIM. H.
Hunter is chairman, has the matter in
hand At a meeting last Friday night a
committee was appointed to raise money
for the furtherance of the matter.
Should this college be established at
West End it will be of great benefit to the
town and vicinity, both from a business
and social standpoint, for it will bring
residents and they will be of the better
class of people, and the refining influence
from such an institution will be wide
spread.
Though glad of the prosperity that fills
all the houses in the place, the people
of West End regret to lose Mr.. and Mrs.
John Barker, and Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Pound, who, being unable to secure
houses, have been compelled to go to
Birmingham to live.
The Belles-Lettres club was most de-
lghtfully entertained by Mrs. j. T. Smith
on Thursday last. The attendance was
good, notwithstanding the unpleasant
day, only one member being absent. The
programme was as follows:
Public Institutions of our State-Miss
Powell.
Our Public Schools and Chartered Col
leges--Mrs. c. B. Powell.

Jarnette
Following this came the question box"
each member handing in two (2) ques-
tions on historical subjects to be answer
ed by the club in general. The subject
of an emblem was brought up and will
be decided at the next meeting.
After adjournment the hostess served
delicious chocolate and cake. The after
noon was very pleasantly spent, music
and literary conundrums adding spice to
the occasion.
Mrs. Hilton will entertain the club on
Friday, the 18th.
Mr.. Ponder. who recently lost his home
In Powderly by fire, has moved to Cleve-
land and purchased very pretty little
place.

PETT1BoNE.

There was legislator who
Determined he the grand would do.
Since God unable did appear
TO keep the women in their sphere,
One, Pettibone B. Undertake
Decided he the job would take
He framed bill which did abound
With wisdom, manliness profound.
he Alabama women fair
Must not elect what they should wear;
Such liberty should be denied, u
And Pettibone could best decide
The styles that would become them best,
How they their money should invest.
Is justice dead? Is reason flown,
That thus you'd act, o, Pettibone?
The CLOTHES of men" they should not
wear,
The shirtwaist dear the bloomer rare
Must be reserved for men alone.
Inc law should act, says Pettibone.
Now wouldn't Pettibone look cute
In shirtwaist pink and bloomer suit?
Imagine, please, his dainty feet
Protruding from the bloomer neat
The bloomer made for woman's use
Now claimed by him for mans abuse;
The shirtwaist hobby, dainty. too,
Adjoining men who smoke and chew!
If Pettibone thinks he'd look sweet
In such rig upon the street.
Why, bless your heart dear Pettibone,
We'd nerve ourselves, suppress a groan,
And grant that you had every right
To rig yourself in such plight,
That, although ugly, on the street
The bloomer dress was light and neat,
And If for such advantage you
Would Danish style and beauty too
And make yourself perfect fright,
We never should deny your right
And ask the law to interfere
If you in public should appear
In any garb we did not like,
For promenade or ball. or bike
We would not try to choose your coat
If you were we and had no vote
You noble, generous Pettibone
To manage business not your own
You claim a law like that protects
The purity of our sex
Now, Petit, don't you think that you
Have just as much as you can do
To mourn the vices of your sex
And not allow your mind to vex
Itself with ours? Why grieve at all?
Compared with mems, they are but small,
Why do you leave the ninety-nine
In immortality to pine,
While you rush off in search of one
And leave the greater work undone?
Don't let our vice your brain perplex;
Just mend the morals of your sex;
Well guard the morals of our own,
o, Pettibone, pure Pettibone.
If really you did intend
The morals of our state to mend,
To guard the innocent the good,
Protect the gem of womanhood
Why leave in force that vilest law
Which brands her daughters victims for
The lust of libertines, who plead
