We are pleased to note an increasing
desire on the part Of our readers to Sc
cure at the first possible moment q
copy Of this paper and some call at
the Office and get copy as il falls
fresh from the press. The reason is
we publish all the news all the time.
We want you to helr as make.it still
better by notifying us Of the death,
marriage or important transactions
in which any one from this county is
concerned.
We will offer little free advice to
the young men and young ladies who
read this paper. Never marry until
you are certain that single life is .
failnre and under no circumstances
marry until You find someone who will
have you. Be sure yon are right,
then 60 ahead. Boys remember that

To the Graduating Class Of
1907.
(BY HARRIS COLLlER.)

(BY HARRIS COLLIER.)
Some ninth grade girls went down the
street,
They thought they might some fellows
meet,
And each one with beau
Would to the soda fountain go.
But every cute boy
Had another great joy,
For a tenth grade girl had he,
And they are as nice as nice can be.
! do not blame him, do you?
FOR her hands are small and her eyes are
blue,
And her cheeks are a rosy hue;
Her mouth is sweet and charming too.
The ninth grade girls hands are large
and brown,
So don't blame the boys from turning
them down.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1907-04-18
Reply.

u -
The ninth grade girl, as far as know,
Never yet condescended to hunt for beau.
AS for soda, coca-cola and such like drinks,
She gets her share, land over, she thinks.
Then, the IDEA! of a boy calling a girl
nice.
Why,.a ninth grade girl wouldn't look at
him twice;
They're used to being called darlings and
beauties
So much 50 they can scarcely attend to
their duties.
Then look back to historic pages,
Where beauties were fought for in the
dark ages
Their eyes are not blue, but dark like ours,
And bright as roses after showers.
And the ninth grade girl can USE her
hands,
Which are so large and brown;
Therefore it Is not very wise thing,
For a boy to be running them down.
The ninth grade girl has seen the hail
Heaped high in the April sun,
And many other Wondrous things
She sees, or hears has been done;
But there is one thing she has never seen,
Nor it's never coming round
That living, Brandon boy,
VIII ever turn HER down.
