HOLLY BEACH

Wanted-Fifty boys TO join the Boys
brigade to be ready for Decoration Day.
We will make arrangements for the
boys so they can get a suit by paying
weekly dues, but should the boy for
any reason leave the brigade, the suit
remains the property of the organiza-
ton. We do this to prevent boys run
ming the streets and wearing the uni
forms who have no right to do SO. 1t
must be borne in mind that 1t is neces-
sary to impose a few restrictions,
namely: no profanity, falsehood nor
cigarette smoking, neither the wanton
destruction of property, especially the
tempting pastime of breaking window
lights. / am sure every well-thinking
parent will join me in enforcing these
rules. If every parent on the island
would take care of his or her boy,
where would we get the boys to do the
mischief !? Boys who join the brigade
will be turned ont after the second Of
Tense. / will ask the parents and COM
munity at large, If you cannot give
financial aid you can give your moral
support which will cost you nothing
and will help all parties concerned.
Sometimes a few words of encourage
ment will send the boy in the right
direction. We have had financial aid
from some, the moral support of others
and ridicule by a few. 1t is not pleas
ant 10 have boys and beardless men
hoot at the brigade or in any way in
terfere with the drill or discipline of
the boys. Right here / wish TO thank
the Mayor and Borough Council of
Holly Beach, for the free use ofthe bor-
aough hall once a week tor the purpose
of drilling the boys. / also wish to
thank Capt. E. H. Randolph for his
self sacrifice and untiriug energy in
drilling the boys. Capt. Il. H. Ran
dolph served as captain in the United
States army during the Spanish war
and belonged to the State organization
before the war, making him, by virtue
of his experience, a very efficient drill
master. We are now working for an
sarmory for the boys where we a drill
and have our gymnasium exercises
without interfering neither being in
terfered with. l now have a subscrip-
ton of $50 as a starter and another Of
$25 to be used toward the erection of al
armory to be used for the moral and
physical development of our boys.
Will you join us in helping the boys to
develop into the right kind of men? |
wish 1t were possible for the commun-
ity to distinguish u boys by their
good behavior and gentlemanly con-
duct. VIII you help us? The organiza-
ton doesn't belong to any n church or
borough, but to Five Mile Beach. Ad-
dress all communications to E. Yenney,
