in most cases of married folks one
or tother holds the whip-hand as
we might say. In other words one
has got to nuckel to tother. When
a man gifts married he promises to
love and cherish his wife but so
far as we can discuvver there amt
nothink in the ceremony that makes
him promise to stand up and let her
throw flat irons and rolling pins
and dishes and pokers at him.
Now in Our own case when we
married Our LIST wife (which is the
last one also) we have often thort
that we started in wrong by givin
in to her too mulch instid of as
serting Our rights becuz 1st thing
we knowd we diddent have emmy
rights and now its too late to as
sert EN- even if we did have emmy.
Knowing our own personal wife as
we do we calkilate if we was to as
sert our rights at this late date it
wouldn't help our general helth en-
ny and might cripple us for life
Our wife is a strong minded
woman & also strong fizzikally and
we would perfer to continue not to
have emmy rights than to assert
same in her presence.
Be that as it may however, June
will soon be here and for the good
of Bingville we urge our yting folks
to enter into the blissful state of
n1atrirnony. If marriage was to
stop in Bingville it wouldn't bee
long until this town went to the
dogs. Besides you mite as we'll
go ahead and take chanst-praps
your marriage will turn out all
right and you'll live with your wife
happy ever afterward, who knows

About p. m. Cy arrived back and
wanted to know why in tarnashion sup

Our town selecktmen held a informal
mtg. in the rear of Hen Weathersby's
store tother evg for the purpose of
discussing whether or not they would
purchase a new pump for the well in
the public square where there amt been
no pump for 10 these n1enny yrs. They
finally brung the mtg. to close with
out deciding whether they would pur-
chase a new pump or not.
This is the sixth mtg. which our Sc

about this time to discuss whether or
not they would purchase new pump.
If discussing would get pump that we'll

Becuz the town we'll amt had no

water in the well and we persoem they
wouldn't drink it even If there was a

of the well platform and some Bing-

to write a eddytoriul on the saekred
subieck of Marriage"
In Our opinyun marriage is a
turrible sollum & critikal step for a
person to take regardless of sex,
former condishion of sevrytood or
ennvthink else. Before two yung
folks take a holt of each others
hands and prance right UP to the

& letters of wedlock they ort to
both be shure that they love one
another suffishient to Ease ad-
versitty & joys & sorrers & every
think else that is liable to happen
to a person.
We calkilate that the reason
more married folks amt happy is
becuz they diddent know each
other we'll enuff before they got
spliced and went outen their way
to conceal their fats until after
they got Iitched, then they jest
ackted nacheral and the result is
they fife like cats & dogs.
When a boy & a girl is engaged
they al1us put their best foot for

for a wife whereas the honeymoon

she was separated from him and
he thinks he would ruther Ease a
wildcat than her when she loses
her temper.
We wouldn't go so far as to say
that marriage is allus failyure

Marriages

Gideon Wilkins one of the best
knowd young men of Snake Bend was
united in marriage last Thursday at
high noon at the residence of the bride
to Miss Agatha Miller, one of our hand
soonest young ladies.
The operashion was performed by
Rev. Moore paster of the Bingville
church in the presence of few in
vited gests. Gid and Agatha has been
keeping company with each other for
the past seven yrs. FIVE of which they
have been engaged.
When it lackd only IS minnits of
the time to be married and all the gests
had assembled Gid had not arrove ard
Miss Agatha was turrible SWEET up about
it fearing he mightnt come a tall. At
about 10 minnits TO high noon, how
ever, Gid was saw driving up Main st.
in blackboard on the gallop hckin the
horse who was all latherd with SWEET

Gid jumpt out all over dust and ex-
planned that the reason he was late was
that the pants of his new weddin suit
which he purchased at the co. seat &
paid $40 for was so gorrammed tite
that it TUX him nearly hour to git
EN- on and even now he was almost
afeard to breath in EN- lest they'd give
way.
Gid was whitern a rag when he stood
up before Rev. Moore with Agatha S
hand in hisn to have the knot tide for
better or worse. Hank Dewberry who
was present said Gid wouldn't of been
emmy paler and more scairt 1ookin if
he was goin to have a tooth puld or
be hung.
After the ceremony Gid handed some

DEPENDABLE partAof my daily
mail is letters from young
mothers telling how they are


~ mail Is letters from young
n mothers telling how they are
unable to run their house and
take care of young baby. too one OF
the most pitiful recently came from a
mother with two older children and
three-month- baby. She said 1t was
impossible to keep the house looking
neat and that she never was able to
get rest
The first thing for such a young
mother to do is to change her viewpoint.
The woman with young children must
put the children and herself before the
house, for this Is a case where house
keeping becomes secondary to the
health Of tho baby and the strength
Of the mother. Even II she does not
like It, standards must he lowered by
the young mother, who must take care
Of both children and house unaided. A
tidy. we'll kept house is JOY and an
ideal, but II is an impossible realization
by the mother of the baby, who has no
other help, unless she is willing to I'M
wisely sacrifice herself.
II the baby is healthy much can be
accomplished in its two-hour maps. Dur
ing its morning sleep, the bedrooms may
be quickly Strengthened. living rooms
made presentable, and some little work
done in the Kitchen. Indeed. one OF the
wlsest things to do while the baby
sleeps is. any special cooking which re-
quires close attention. II is almost i'm
possible to prepare food well while
baby Is crying and fretful, as cooking
needs concentration and quiet. It Is,
therefore, better to prepare n dessert,
etc. while baby Is asleep. and to do
washing of his napkins, sweeping, or
other tasks which can he interrupted
while he Is awake The broom will not
scoreh as you lay 1t down to pick up
the. baby for a moment, but the rice
pudding will.
IL the baby takes another afternoon
nap. 1t is the better part of cense to
sleep or at last lie down during the
baby's nap. Certainty, there should be
some half hour at least of the day when
the mother can have 'uuiet and reIaxa-
ton, and 1t is not at all indolent to neg
lect some securing and polishing in
order to get rest and much needed lying
down.
