A YOUNG MEMS CLUB.

The movement to establish q first.
class y. M. C. A. in Columbia, with a
suitable building, fitted out with an as
sembly room, reading rooms, gymnasi-
um, baths, etc, is most commendabIe
one, and it is gratifying to see that such
great interest is being taken therein
This brings to mind an effort which was
made in Mt Pleasant some months ago
by number of young men to organize
club, having for its purpose the fitting
up of suitable reading aud reception
rooms, small gynasium and baths,
where the members thereof could meet
in social way, enjoy the exercises in the
gymnasium, and receive other benefits
offered by such club. While the move
ment was not directed along the lines Of
a y. NJ. G. A., yet the purposes we're
very much the same, and when the young
men met t. discuss the organization, the
ministers of the several churches were
invited to participate in the meeting.
and it was expected that they would be-
come charter members of the club. The
boys agreed that the club should be or.
ganized on-a strictly moral basis, and
those interested stated in the beginning
that their main purpose was to provide
a nice meeting place for the boys and
young men of this community place
where they could assemble after work
hours and enjoy innocrnt amusements
or have the benefit of good literature.
The movement received our endorse
ment at the time, for we earnestly be-
lieve it to be a good one. If there is
any town in the State that needs such a
club it is Mt. Pleasant. The boys and
young men here need nice place to go
when they desire to meet their friends
or indulge in innocent amusements. It
would certainly be much better for them
than loafing on the streets and in the
stores, or, hanging around the saloons.
And yet when some Of the older men Of
the place We're approached in regard to
it-some of the very ones who have
boys growing up in the town-they
throw cold water on the whole thing by
saying that the place for the boy after
night was at home and that he had no
business at club. Perhaps this is true,
and yet some of the sons of the very
men who make this assertion are hardly
ever at home before ten or eleven o clock
at night. Would it not be better for
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1905-07-21

them to be in nice club, composed OF
gentlemen and conducted by gentlemen,
than to be loafing on the streets and in
the saloons where they are thrown in di-
rect contact with all the evil influences
that are to be found?
We suggest to the amen corner MEM
bers of our churches and to the fathers
Of the boys of our town that they should
lend their assistance and encouragement
to the boys in establishing such club,
and become members thereof themselves,
and we believe nothing would result in
greater good for the young men of our
place.
A club is necessarily an evil, If it is
conducted on evil principles; on the
other hand, club conducted on the
right principle can be made most val
liable thing. There are enough good
men here who could well afford the time
and expense to join with the boys al
ready interested, secure suitable rooms
and organize club which would prove q
great blessing to our town and commu'
nifty. Why not do it, and save the boy:
from the saloon?

Mt. Pleasant horsemen and stock
raisers are already bestiIring themselves
with a view of holding another 'stcck
day" in Mt. Pleasant in the early fall.
These affairs have proven to be very val
liable to the live stock interests of this
section heretofore, and every effort
should be made to make the affair in
the fall more elaborate than anything
yet attempted.

A Deserted Bride will be the attract

plays Of this class, but beautiful story
well told by q thoroughly competent
company. Special scenery ls carried for
the production Of this play.
The tons Of printers ink, both poetry
and cuss words, that have been hurled
at that "Old Court House Fence" failed
to effect it's removal, but Paving Dist.

blessing, and now we are to have "a 49,
inch cement coping in its place.
Work Is progressing rapidly on the
paving in Dist. No. l. and the pavements
will soon be laid on Oak street. 1t has
been completed already on the west and
