SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Dear Cousins: 1t has been some
time since my name appeared in the
Post Card Club, but as Miss Flody
asks me to write again, take this
opportunity to do so. To start with,
/ will ask Minnie Smedley to an
sWer her question, If she can, for |
sure cant. Sometime ago someone
said that we should quit writing
about Hoke Smith so much. Well,
I don't agree with him. We younger
folks must sooner Or later step up and
abuse those political rasca's, who
are yet to come, and now is the time
to get our boys interested; let them
abuse the sorry officers with the
truth, and nothing but the truth.
Now bear with me while | give you
chew tobacco, for it will ruin you
and your health. Don't drink whis-
key, for it is a disgrace to man and
sin to God. Don't curse Don't
get mad with some dumb animal and
beat it. Don't make fun of anyone.
Don't curse and abuse some other
boy Or girl. Don't run your parents
horses when you drive them. There
are several others but I won't men
ton them here. To the sweet girls,
| say, don't go with a boy who
chews tobacco, drinks whiskey, and
so on. Now my dear boys and girls,
the time is fast coming when you
and l must take the place of Mr..
Watson, of Mr.. Bacon, and all the
fathers and mothers, and there is
one thing we must get to be, great
and good men and women, that is, to
be an honest, upright man or woman.
