One bright, energetic young lad
of our town who is just out of
school has voluntarily occurred
employment in the cotton mill.
He preferred having regular en-
ployment to being loafer. How

are more than a dozen other boys
and young men who could with
profit follow his example. It is
much more honorable to work,
even upon the streets, than it is
to hang around the street corners
