A GEORGIA GIRL ON MATRrMONY
(Quitman Free Press.)

The attitude of a good many women
toward matrimony is the same as that
of stray cat toward a warm hearth.
-Quitman Free Press.
Now, will Miss Cain please explain
the attitude she refers to above. We
want to know so we can tell at the
proper time-Dalton Citizen.
Well a detailed explanation would
sound bit uncomplimentary to man
and pessimistic toward matrimony.
Nevertheless, when this business of
life is stripped right down to the bare
fact, when the last rose of romance
has faded away and the gilt on the
ginger bread no longer DISCUSSES the
staleness of the bun, and the tinsel
dreams of Prince Charming look
tadwry in the morning when the cook
doesn't come and the stove wood is
wet, then-HaTen't you heard girls
say ''Oh, well, don't think it matters
about being in love anyway. I've all
ways been sentimental fool. but life
is practical affair and if man is
nice and has some money one could
be very comfortable-Why not?"
There's the combination of the lonely
lady and the warm hearth.
'Tis a sad little tale But don't blame
the girl. She didn't make this world.
However, be that as it may, dear
man, when the proper time" comes
you will not be able to tell" No man
ever did and here is the origin of
that saying, Where ignorance is
bliss"

The Savannah Press is guilty of the
libel that women's hearts are like

Love affairs have the same result that

more yearnful.

Your committee believes the COM
mission form of government for the Dis
triCt Of Columbia meets all the require

any that can be devised.
your committee believes that what
ever dissatisfaction with the present
form Of government there may be, is
due to the prevailing methods Of ad-

The act Of Congress as amended.
which created the existing form of gov

the transaction of the public business,
the act seems to contemplate that the
business of the District shall be trans
acted by the Commissioners. sitting as
board. Your committee believes that
if the Commissioners would hold daily
board sessions, open to the public, for
the transactions of the public business,
and act together as a board, the ques-
uOnS arising FOR consideration would be
more eNpeditiOusly and satisfactorily
disposed of, than heretofore, and there
would be less ground for dissatisfaC-
tion on the part of the citizens with
the administration OF municipal affairs.
Moreover IT is believed hat certain
changes should be instituted in the
methods of doing business In some Of
the subordinate branches Of the Gov

vexatious delays.
