Dining at Mr.. Shafer's.

Robert Tarter, Tom Smoot, Henry
Bowen, 10 Litz and King Crockett,
sat down to a splendid dinner at the
hospitable home of Capt. Geo. Shafer,
on last Sunday. This is one of a
series of dinners which this party en-
joys every now and then, first at one
home then at another in the neighor-
hood. They never take their wives,
of course, and the only lady present
on these delightful occasions is the
mistress of the home where the
crowd meets, and of course every fell
low is doubly anxious to have the
meeting at the other fellows house.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made to widen the circle so as to
take in larger number of houses,
and by that means the same man 5
day of torture will come aroud less
often. At all events, the boys have a
fine, good social time, wherever they
meet.

A Plain Request.
Improve.

This paper has been asked TO say
something about the crowd OF men
and boys who gather I'm certain
quarters in this town almost daily,
and sometimes on Sunday, TO PLAY
marbles, wrestle and "cuss," and
make trouble generally. One lady
said she was afraid to go To n certn N
store or To allow her children To 20
there at certain times, on account of
the rowdyism i'm the streets, al
language, etc. Indulged i'm by n.en
and boys, who have nothing u do
but play marbles. This is none of tie
editors business, except in SO far as
IL effects the public. This Is not the
first time there has been talk. Marble
playing is pleasant, harmless game,
but like anything else, can be abus-
eel as To become nuisance and an
evil. Disputes, quarrels, oaths, fights,
and sometimes serious casualties, oc-
cur on these mable yards. IT is the
opinion expressed by several people
that the quarrel which resulted i'm
the death of Groseclose last Thursday
night had Its beginning perhaps OH
the marble yard earlier In the day.
We do not know how true this is,
but we do know that a quarrel took
place there that day, and If one
man tells the truth, and is not mis-
taken, some of the tallest "cussin"
was done ever heard almost, end
might have produced trouble.
Had not the boys better close out
the marble yard2 Weeds are growing
la the gardens and cornfields. The
hoe and the plow are needed. Would
il not be better every way for the
men and boys to leave off mables,
and other games of idleness, and go
to work? IAN idle brain Is the
DEVILS workshop" Is an old saying,
and as true as 1t is old. This article
is written only In the hope of doing
good. We must all look out for the
boys. Boys make men-preachers
lawyers, doctors, statesmen, benefac-
tors, thieves, robbers, drunkards,
convicts and criminals, and which
they shall be depends upon the care
and training we, as parents and guar
dians exercise over them. Take care
of the boys and girls-thc men and
women viii take care of themselves.
IL Is the boy and girl who is left to
drift and do as they please that
comes to grief and wrecks. Do the
best we can, il is still difficult To rear
and train child properly, and every
time one of them goes wrong, or near
~ every time, the parents are peskAaps
TO blame. Look out for the boys and
girls. The devil would have to go
out Of business IL all parents and
police officers would be on the con-
+: stant watchout.
