Cotton picking is on hand but
the rain is against us as it keeps
the cotton too wet to pick.
We noticed a note in Nicholas

those who are supposed to be and
are looked upon as the leading cit
liens of the town. Yes gray-haired
fathers will be seen to scold their
boys and tell them to go do so
and so, and then the father will
stand for hours until his brittle
bones and exhausted muscles refuse
to support him any longer; then he
wanders back home. falls down in a
chair and wonder what makes him
| feel badly. Then when he enters
the front gate the son goes out the
back one and is soon seen at the
leisure oak, and they become so en-
Unused that they hardly notice or
know when any on9 speaks to them
from the street. Well of course
the boys are gong to play and
would be ready to fight you almost
if you told them it was wrong,
Why? because papa, plays or en-
joys the game and know it all
right.
And the reason | was lead to
write this piece is, because just a
few years ago | was boy also,
have just developed into young
manhood and am acquainted with
these innocent pleasures. | have
INDUCED in these innocent games,
and many times the contest was so
close that the other fellow would
cry out I'll bet you quarter you
will loose, and | was sure of my
success. Well then the tempta-
tion come and am proud too say |
never yielded, but soon saw there
were two things | must do: either
give up the pleasure or put up the
quarter. | chose the former.
You will pardon me for this per-
sonal reference, but merely
relate it for | believe all boys are
all about alike:-viz enthusiastic,
quick to jump at conclusions,
know that they know more than
Ia, lovers of lleakure and ever
ready to enter most any thing for
a little fun; yes in closing
again say that | fully believe
that the innocent checker-game
may lead some father to stand by
the casket of his own dear son
and see him lowered into a gam
bler's grave.
Fathers if this is worthy of
acceptation, accept it; if it is net
pass it by as the thoughts of a
young man whose intentions were
good, hut his pen failed to out
line them on paper; Young man

pleasant honey man, is seen

honey or molasses? Lets have an

Dear Editor OF HERALD, If you
will allow me little space ir your
paper | desire to write few words
in regards to the innocent checker
board. -
AS far back as we nave any record
we find the so called innocent
games, and in my mind there is no
doubt that there has been thousands
of the innocent games played from
which no harm resulted but on the
other hand, | do not believe that
there has even been one Of the
innocent games but what inspired
and fired the heart of some young
man and lead him to enjoy the
gamblers company and finally to
ruin, death and He'll.

pardon me using them as an exam
pie, but what | say of McLain |

which such things are INDUCED in.

A Big Rattle snake Killed.

Bill Lister rep rts the killing of
large rattlesnake by somebody
Monday in the route leading into
town from Mohoba. He discovered
TIE body of the reptile dead in the
road at foot of hill travelling this
way from old Negro graveyard.
He says it was a big one of its
kind, having a body nearly six feet
long, and as big around at its big
gest point, as the reach of the
hands of an average man in cir
Gle. He ventures that it must have
had Il to ID rattles. These were
cut off. The HERALD regrets that
the slayer of this old reptile, did
not himself report the killing and
the number of rattles, but are glad
the thoughtful Billum did not lot it
escape us.
