the most disgusting sights that could
be seen. A young boy hardly Is years
old went up TO girl not yet in her
teens and asked her would she accept
his company home The fathers of
that boy and girl ought to have been
there with switches and whipped them
both all the way home. | think that
any father or mother who will permit
their daughter to keep company with
young men before she is at least six
teen ought to have their children tax
en- away from them and put in place
where they will be taught better No
young man who has the right kind of
sense will ask young girl for her
company. | think there ought to be
law prohibiting boy and girl from
keeping company until they are at
least sixteen or seventeen.
