Prosecuting Attorney Damron
Saturday had a warrant issued for
the arrest of Munsen Henderson, a
school teacher, twenty-three years
of age, son of H. R. Henderson of
Burgundy, Mo. The charge
against Henderson is having Sc
duced Efie Stricklin, daughter of
James Stricklin and under sixteen
years of age, on the promise of
marriage.
No. A., about two hours late,
struck a handcar a short distance
south of the Ironton station last
Wednesday evening. Three hand
cars loaded with Creeks, who had
been at work on the track south of
Arcadia, were coming to Ironton,
when No. A was heard in the rear.
Two of the cars were gotten off the
rails and out of the way, but the
other was struck by the fast run
ming train. A Greek, who was
trying to get the car off the track,
was quite painfully injured, one of
his legs being badly bruised.
The REGISTER learns through
Mr.. Geo. l.. Moore, of Hillsboro,
Texas, that Chas. r. Mason, who
had his leg broken at Cleburne,
Texas, a couple of months ago, is
not getting along as we'll as his
friends had hoped for. 1t seems
that when the fractured member
was set it was not properly done
and the limb had to be broken and
reset, and it is feared will leave
Mr.. Mason a cripple. Charlie Ma
son is one of the cleverest boys it
was ever u good fortune to know,
and we still hope for his complete
recovery.
Girls, don't cheaper yourself by
allowing yourself to be every
body's plaything. 1t is all right
for you to have a "fellow" and GO
here and there with him, but don't
be everybody's girl just because
he asks you to be, and then i'm
agine that you will not cheaper
yourselves in the eyes of every
body-especially the young men.
1t is a laudable ambition for a girl
to have a 'fellow," and she is en-
titled to the best if she is the right
kind of a girl. But it makes no
difference how good she is, she
loses the respect of everybody
when she gets SO boy struck that
she cannot walk down the street
without stopping to CAB with every
lobster she happens to meet.
When she permits such familiarity
and cultivates it, she loses dignity
and that is one of the rudiments Of
a lady. The average young man
has no respect for a girl who is
familiar with all the boys of her
acquaintance, and she is the last
girl in the world he would think OF
marrying. 1t is really a disgust
ing sight to see an otherwise SEN
sible girl gadding up and down
the streets, Cabling with every
man she meets, loaing around the
stores and shops, sponging treats
from all who have the price and
disposition to "loosen." The girl
is marked for the bargain counter,
and when she marries it is in
variably the last and only chance,
Married life a be happy only
when husband and wife have i'm
plicit confidence in each other, and
no man can have confidence in the
cheap, gadding, gossiping, giddy
girl--the n who imagines the
boys are all eager for her com
pany, when in reality they use hel
for a plaything with which to pass
away the time. Don't cheaper
yourselves, girls, but pick out
some really good young man, some
fellow with an ambition beyond
cigarette smoking, booze fighting
and gambling and tie to him. L
he does not suit you, get the right
one-that is if you must have g
fellow-but don't fool around with
half a dozen of them at once anc
think that any of them respects
you. An honest girl is the mos
beautiful object in all creation
even if she is as ugly as mud il
the face, but a cheap girl-oh ge
the axe!-Er.
