will give few of my ideas as to
how we should do and how we should
not do. Lots of times we should get
the mote out of our own eye before we
begin to prod in someone else's eye
As rule, women are more apt to
speak hard things than men, and often
| get up confusion that gets their hus-
bands or brothers, or even fathers, in
| to deep trouble. Now, friends and
people, let me say right here, if you
will think right you will quit such,
| for it does not make you one more
friend, and often lots of foes. If you
cannot say something good about your
neighbor, don't say anything for this
! gives you the i'll will of someone that
might make you an enemy of one that
would be your best friend ifyou would
! give them a chance. 1t is often the
case that we hear young ladies use pro-
family to affirm what slang they are
wishing to censure some innocent per-
sons with. No, girls, this will de-
| grade you for this life and knock you
out of heaven. This is too bad for
young men, old men or anyone else,
but to hear pretty girl cussing and
swearing it is awful. Now, girls, will
you stop this and consider how ugly
such is in the hearing of good people
and in the sight of God2 I will tell of
one little instance that some lady
caught on to. A girl of seventeen or
eighteen and her mother were visiting
at neighbor's not long since, where it
is supposed this girl is wanting to cap
tivate young fellow, and subject
was soon got up about another fellow

affection. So, in order to gain the
and cursed and swore and said hard
things about him and said she had or
dered him from her home. When this
was said by the girl the mother spoke
up and said, "Yes, she did, for | heard
her." which was falsehood. There
was not single word of truth in it.
Would this have brought the ties of
love any closer from him to her even
if it had been 500 This fellow had
been there only through friendship and
all the respect for the entire famil y
that anyone could have had.
Now, little girl, [ wish you all sorts
of good luck, and maybe that you will
reform from such. Hope you will, but
do not get it into your head that every
man that goes to someone's house
where there is girl, has sparkling on
the brain.
Now, let us all come to the conclus-
ion that God made us after counsel
of His will and we should not step
aside to tell falsehood for the devil.
Well, Mr. Third District, you should
be getting ready to call the poor trash
, together and tell them your views as to
what sort of move to make to get rid
of these internal cut throat laws that
are calculated to starve our women and
children to death. | have voted the
democratic ticket for 40 years. was in
} good faith that while the same was in
power that the laboring man could
earn living for his family. / now
see the mistake. Let all men that
want their own and who labor, try to
| change the thing by electing men that
have got human hearts in them, and
not men that want to make slaves of
us. l am going to vote to change the
thing this time as to state officials and
try to change the national officials, too.
3 | think change would be good all
around. So come to the front, you
Third District man. l am for you and
against any man that is in favor OF
these darn little knotty laws that are
made to build up capital and starve
labor. 1t has got to where we have got
to have guardian to say what doctor
we shall have to doctor our folks when
, sick whether we want them or not,
and the money is held back in the office
and if he gets doctor of his choice he
has two to pay. l think all people
ought to be their own guardians if
they are sane and if not, send them tC
the asylum.
Well, as there are some of the read
ers that want to hear from Whitwell
will give few items. 1t is only run
! ming half time As for the cause
cannot tell. We hope for the better,
q and as all is in good condition for work
we look for better times. Mr.. Meagel
