THE YOUNG GENTLEMEN.

pleasant in ways, manner, or speach.
He does not call his father the old |
man or dad and his mother the old
woman, but has the very kindest and
most affectionate feeling for both OF
them and addresses them in the kind
est terms. And not only this the
true young man always strives to
lessen the burdens of father and
mother if he possibly can. He not
only works, but he works with his
mind and suggests to his father what
they had better do.
With the knowledge, advantages,
and privileges the young men of the
present day have, they should be
better fitted to help their parents
along and in very pleasant and
Agreeable manner suggest THAT they
ars better educated and therefore
better prepared to suggest to them
what should be done.
It is 50 offensive, in the eyes of the
strangers and friends to see some
children, both boys and girls, who
with the smattering of little edu-
cation become 30 egotistical as to tell
their father and mother that they
don't know this and they don't know
that when the father and the mother
have denied themselves many Of the
comforts of life and have sat up
many long and wearisome nights
working harder to keep them at
school SO they could be better educat-
ed than they were, that with this
education they would be better able
to cope with life's duties and LIES
work.
The true young gentleman has that
sensibility and love that rather
covers up the mistakes that are made
by Others instead of bringing them to
the view of others, Or making them
more odious by bringing them to
light.
To be great ard noble is to be kind,
good generous, AFT c ionate, looking
after the pleasure Of oilers as well as
yourself. We see a great many
genuine good, true young gentlemen
in Barton county and this western
country. We have come in touch
with them and they show it in their
manner and in their actions, they
show it in the treatment of their
father, mother, brothers, sisters,
their friends and their neighbors
: They appreciate all the efforts that
have been put forth by their parents
to make them better and are not in the
counting house or in towns altogether;
they are on the farm, behind the
pillow or harrow, they milk COWS and
do general farm work, but they
} are strong and healthy and when
the work Of the day is over they are
Just as clean and nice as any young
man in the cities.
1t is not the place altogether that
makes gentlemen, gentlemen make
the place and places are made better
, and more remunerative by the true
. gentleman who knows how to do it.
, We have watched, with growing
interest and pride, the young gentle
men who have grown up in this
county for the past 25 years. Some
of them are now filling the places OF
citizens and have good homes and we
have as good pride as any to say
that we, too, have contributed in
helping them along as they have
helped us along.
) For the farm is to have implements,
and to have implements is to have
the right kind and on hundreds OF
farms we have seen the many different
kinds of implements that we. have
sold. None the LEES of these are
the Dowagiac, Decatur, or the Ken
lucky Disc drills and at prices tina,
every farmer, who wants one, can
not afford to be without it.
The Grain King feed grinder is
the only grinder that we know of that
