BABIES Will RE
GIVEN A SHOW
Exhibition @. f Tazewells
Posterity at the Fair
This Fall

The proposal to have a Pretty Paby
Show at the Fair this fall has met
with enthusiastic approval among the
mothers of pretty babies in this town
and community, of which there is a
great number. Bluegrass Babies"
are proverbially pretty as well as
numerous, and this show promises to
be n great spectacle. All the details
have not been worked out, but it is
now thought to have two contests
one of girl and one of boy babies.
Some mothers have suggested that
girl babies are always prettier than
boy babies, and to bring them into
competition will not be fair. 1t is
also proposed to have two classes of
each as to ages, viz: from the cradle
to two years, inclusive, and from 2
to years, inclusive. Decision will
be made later. Watch the papers. The
Superintendent of the Agricultural
Department, Mr.. Leslie, who proposed
this show, wishes, it understood in the
beginning, that he will have nothing
whatever to do with judging this
show, as he is permanently located
here, and carnot get away from town
permanently, but competent Judge
of baby beauty will be selected who
lives in section remote from Taze-
well, and who will be prepared to
leave just before decision is announc-
ed, as this climate will not likely be
healthful for the party after the show
is over. Get ready for the baby show.

A Parable On Boys.

Verify in this day and genera
ton the father raiseth up his son on
the streets and sidewalks. He
layeth around the soda founts and
imbibeth slop and hookworms. He
groweth in knowledge of nothing
save cigarettes and cuss words.
When he attaineth the age of 16
he acqireth suit of clothes turned
up at the bottom two furlongs above
his feet. He displayeth a pair OF
noisy sox, with purple background
and violets to the front. He Weareth
loW-cut tan shoes and a green tie.
He looketh like a banana merchant
on the streets of Cairo.
The inside Of his head resembles
the inside of pumkin.
He falleth in love with a spindle
shanked girl with pink ribbons in
her hair, and he craveth for an
automobile that he may ride her
forth in the spring time. He thinketh
work is sinful. He scatterth his
mothers pin money like a cyclone
scattereth rail fence. He stitch
up at night to write poetry, and
giveth no thought to the multiple
cation table. His mind turneth to
the vanities of life, and not the
high cost of cornbred.
Verify, verify he needeth a
board applied vigorously to the
southwest corner of the anatomy.
He thinketh his father plodder
and his mother a back number. He
pictureth to himself great riches
suddenly acquired. He dreameth of
steam yatchs and private cars.
Yes, he thinketh himself the
real stuff He butteth in where he
is not wanted: he criticiseth his
elders; he purchaseth cheap per-
