Crescent City News

Mrs. E. X. Sweet of Quincy, Ill.,,
was here for few days last week, a
, guest at Crescent Inn. She left for
Quincy, ILL.,, last Monday accompan-
led by Mrs. Arthur Sweet of Haw
Greek.
Capt. d. B. Marley, one of the best
known commercial travellers in Flor
ida, and q man highly regarded
wherever known, died at his home
in Sanford last Thursday evening
after an illness of three days. Capt.
Manley was well known to the pee
pie of this place, which he visited
every two weeks. He always stop
ped at Grove Hall for at least over
one night and always had good
word to say for the place and our
hotel. He was a veteran Confede-
rate soldier from Jefferson county
and was related to some of the best
Florida families. There is universal
regret here over his sudden taking
off.
Mrs. Harry Sweet, who resides on
her husbands stock ranch up on
Haw Greek, has been i'll with small
pox. Her attack was very mild
one and those familiar with the case
say she was never very ill. She is
now quite recOve cred. 1t is said that
Mrs. Sweet probably contracted the
disease at the time she with other
members of the family went with
the body of the late f. X. Sweet to
Quincy, Ill. The announcement of
the nature of Mrs. Sweets illness
caused considerable anxiety here,
where the lady is well known, but
this subsidized when it was learned
that she was not seriously i'll. Her
mother, Mrs. Kreitz, arrived last
week from the north and will go to
her just as soon as she can safely do

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Probably the easiest thing in the
world is to be bore.
You waste half your time. There's
reform work for you.
1t is possible to laugh at trouble. but
the laughter doesn't mean 1t.
What dIsagreeable world this would
be II people were perfectly candid.
1t is easier to talk a man out Of a
thing than 1t is to fight him out of IT.
There is one thing sure about fuss
1t does not do any good to talk 1t over.
When men talk together. 1t is Of
prices at which things can be sold.
Women talk Of prices at which things
can be bought
The sentiment seems to be always
in favor OF abusing the man who OBJ
jects to cost when It comes to funerals
or Weddinss.-Atchlson Globe.

Concerning Our Boys.

as some would like to make them
but whether good, or whether bad
depends on how we take 'em.
That is a borrowed idea made owe
into doggerel to introduce the Ores
cent City "kid"-God bless him; ant
God bless those of us who are willin!
to allow him all the tether necessary
to his proper development.
The live, mischievous boy is thu
natural boy. He feels his oats" Of
grits. He doesn't differ materially
in his playful proclivities from the
pup, the kitten, or the cub. Like
them he gets into frequent mischief
That's what makes him interesting
A boy without tendency to mischiet
is prodigy-something out of the
ordinary course of nature.
OF course the mischievousness Of
boys may be carried too far. 1t may
be carried to the point which has
been defined as the mischief of 8
boy that would be criminal in man.
When that point is reached it is time
to shorten the tether.
Most people understand the boy
nature, but occasionally we come
across persons who do not and who
make no effort in that direction. On
the contrary they dislike boys on
general principles and let slip to OPP
portunity to nag and scold them
Such as these usually have their re-
ward. 1t is bestowed by the despised
boys themselves.
AS a rule boy haters never had
boys of their own. They much pre-
fer to cultivate dyspepsia for home
amusement and a two-for-a-quarter-
smile for business purposes. We
once knew an old heifer who answer
ed this description. She was barren
and had reached the age limit. She
was sour by nature, scandal-mong-
er from choice, ana an expert pin
pricker. She wore her t-f-a-q smile
on most occasions in public, but
when boy hove in sight the smile
curdled and her store teeth disap-
peared from view. She was forever
scolding the boys. She never let an
opportunity pass to give them a
tongue flashing. The boys got to
disliking her and finally to hating
her. They organized to punish her.
That was where they did wrong ?
Yes, it was wrong, but the aggrava.
ton was great.
In the silent watches of the night
the boys played tick-tack on her win
dow with tin can. They practiced
other indignities in the night season,
and might have gone on indefinitely
had they not been called off by
friends who showed them wherein
they were wrong.
Boys will be boys" but they will
not be imps nor criminals unless
they are born that way or are driven
thitherward. Speak kind word to
the boy. Let him know that you ap-
preciate him; that you are with him
when he's right and against him
only when he's wickedly bad. We
have large and growing crop of
boys in Crescent City and there isn't
a single sneak in the whole bunch.
Ii you want to show 6ispleasure
with anyone select the person or per-
sons who hate boys on general prin-
ciples and who are forever finding
fault with them.
