The editor of the New Lewisville Re.
corder, gives the following advice to
parents about their boys running over
the streets at nights:
There are times in the affairs of men
when taken by the forelock they leap on
to fortune. One of these times is when
that boy of yours is loafing around the
depot and other public places smoking
cigarettes, drinking hop ale and using
cuss words, spending somebody else S
money at restaurants when he S got a
home and three meals day to go to,
furnishes you ample opportunity and
sufficient cause to take the young man
by the nape OF the neck yank him out
behind barn and wear barrel stave
down to frazel upon the part of his
anatomy which Dame Nature has so
generously furnished for all such. To
neglect such an opportunity only affords
recruits for the penitentiary and other
state penal institutions. There are boys
in this town who are smoking cigarettes
on the sly whose parents would be hor-
rified where they informed of it. 1t s
time you were finding out what your
boy does when he goes down town after
dark who his associates are, and all
about him. And if you are not doing
this you are neglecting your duty. and
there will be only one time to regret it,
and that will be always.
