Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1907-11-22
Elizabeth Jane Answered By
Young Medico.


Being in a sister state, as most 9TH
err Greene County boys had the HER
AID to follow ne, that | may know
something of the home happenings;
and tonight while looking over the
HERALD, | noticed Miss Elizabeth
Jane letter, which caused some en-
thusiasm on my part.
! am glad that some girl has becn
willing to say something in behalf of
her sex, for it seems that the time
has almost come when everybody is
strictly looking out for No. l.
So | begin boy like and answer
the simple question asked by un-
known friend, YES, | have met with
several young ladies within the past
year whom ] consider as pure inno-
cent Christian girls, and who | as all
other young men admire more than
words can express, but bark! my
blood runs cold, and it seems as 4
all humanity is in panic-stricken
condition when ] think OF the many
fair faces I've met within the past
year, who are lot the girls they
should be to decorate every sweet
happy home; YES | know the time is
here when Il young man may have d
fair face, but black heart; and
stands ever ready to lead some inno-
cent girl down in Disgrace; still fur
Their | know that just as often the
girl of today is more than ready to
lead them on. Young lady be careful
the way you conduct yourself before
your friends, for do you know that
you can lead boy to do thing that
he would not do even if bis mother
or sister would ask him? A good wo-
man is as near an angel Us can be
found here on earth. A bad woman
is the only whole sister that the devil
has.
Yes it's true some men are truly IN
love when there is fortune ahead,
but what about the woman? Who is
it that very near all the girls admire?
It's the young man who has plenty
of money and Can afford the best
horse and buggy, it matters not il
the mother says, daughter he is d
drunkard and debauched man," We
usually hear the daughter say, Il
don't care Ma, he's got MONEY.
And very often against her parents
will this girl will marry the Young
fellow to spend the remainder OF her
life here in torment.
| also ask has the President OF our
land ever called for volunteers to 20
to war, that his call was not respon-
ded to with an over majority, say
within the past few years our Presi
dent has had to call for young men
to defend our rights and thousands
of volunteers we're turned away Can
it be possible that all these expected
to become an officer? | say no. They
went because they we're true Ameri-
cans and loved their homes, to that
extent where they we're wiling 10 go
out, struggling against cold, heat
and starvatiOn; suffer pain; wade
through blood and die, 70 rmother,
sister and sweet heart.
suppose its time to close these
unconnected thoughts. When | be-
gan did not know what | was going
to write, but | can say I've express
ed myself just as my heart dictated,
and should this letter come before
the public, ask that all mistakes be
looked over as they are the thoughts
of young man just growing into
maturnity. | close by saying to E.
lizabeth that I'm single and expect
for my wife to be one of OF those girls
that she asked if existed. May be she
will fill the bill. (Mr. Editor II you
will give me her address | will try
and investigate the matter.) Best
wishes to the HERALD.
| am Very Sincerely Yours.
Tom MEDICINE.
