HOBBLE DEFENDED
BY BOSTON DIVINE

BOSTON. Oct. l0.-The Rev. Herbert
> Johnson, BOStOnS millionaire minis
ter, has come out in defense Of The
hobble skirt In a sermon preached
at Warren Avenue Baptist Church. ne
declared that the young man of today
who IS seriously thinking of getting
married cannot afford to take for his
wife other than the fashionable girl.
THE hobble skirt. so much worn. is a
product for good. Girls who take d
well-devcloped interest in the fashions
are the best girls of a community.
There is something radically wrong
with the young woman who does not
think about dress, and dresses as well
as she can l mean that such a girl is
not normal, either mentally or morally
and l warn all young men to look out
for her"

trade. In the little town of Waldorf,
few miles from Heidelberg. A
butchers business then was to
travel around and kill the pet pig

hearted owners dare not harm. The
butcher was a pariah. sort of un-

John Jacob Astor was the young

Jacob Astor. the happy father of

the other to make sure that the boy
did not run away.

The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1910-06-10

The business men of this city and
many others interested in getting
the best paving possible for the
business sections of the city have
been agreeably surprised at the re-
suits obtained by Warren Brothers
of Boston, in all sections of the city
where their Bitulithic pavement
has been laid.
Not only has this pavement been
superior to what was anticipated
when the pavement was fret laid,
but it has withstood the wear and
tear of heavy travel better than the
asphalt which was laid at the same
time. In only one or two spots has
the bitulithic paving shown any
defects, while the asphalt paving
laid on North Main street, Santa Fe
avenue, and on all of the cross
streets, is badly era cked and in many
places it needs to be repaired and
the ruts filled up.
II 10 stated That all OF the proper
ty owners on the north side includ-
ed in the new district to be paved
will specify the bitulithic paving
in the petitions to be circulated on
account Of the general satisfaction
that paving has so far given in this
city over the asphalt paving that
was laid in that section OF the city.
1t is stated that the foundation
for the bitulithic as we'll as all OF
the various parts used in laying it
have BE- en- improved over the quail
ity used two or three years ago in
Pueblo, and that the property own
ers will get even better paving
now than was laid when South
Union avenue was paved with this
