Bruce Herald Perhaps one of tn
: greatest evils in small towns is GOSSIP
and tattling. People have little OF
public character to go to for amuse
ment and they naturally talk abou
their neighbors when they meet. ant
the worst of it is they soon get into tn
- habit of telling all the evil and meal
things they know or have heard in
stead of picking out the good qualitie
to talk about. Many good reputation
:, has been ruined by this foolish habi
of tattling. Don't do it, remember tina
- we all have our faults and there !
