The north Mississippi herald., 1919-04-11

Am. ID. D. LII. d. etc was here few
days since to deliver his celebrated
lecture on the Reconstruction days,
when we pass over the River. OF
course this distinguished lecturer,
and scientist, could spend only short
time here so he made the best Of it
that he could. He was introduced by
our old friend and statesman, Hon.
Auto Honk. This gentleman so well
known here would take only short
time, but in few well chosen words
explained the object of the meeting.
His words were marvels of wisdom
and all the more appreciated from
the fact that everyone in that vast
audience know him to be one of our
most useful citizens always attending
to everybody's business (except his
own and that made the occasion full
of interest. But to the lecture, it was
full of good thought and uncommon
sense both 'gwine and Cumnin. .
The main thought, however, in the
lecture was how to have peace among
the inhabitants of the community
and how to promote good will every
where. Some of these most elegant
expressions would be hard to give to
the public for we do not want to ,ay
anything that would misrepresent the
lecture. His main point in this most
instructive lecture was about how to
keep your chickens from flying over
the fence into your neighbor's back
yard. When he approached this i'm
portant part of the discourse every
one listened with intense interest.
After giving an explanation of all
the good that would come from such
a plan he said in substance that the
best way would be to remove the
fence. The entire audience which
was composed of some fifteen persons
all seemed grateful for the informa-
ton thus obtained We neglected to
state in the outset that the lecure was
free, but after it was over the hae
was passd around and all that enjoyed
the lecture were supposed to contrib
ute something to help pay expenses,
which we think they did. Many were
heard to remark that it was a wonder
full lecture andif he should ever get
time to come this way again and will
have his lecture better advertised and
we are so fortunate as to be here, we
promise we won't be there. (How
VIII that doI)
Of course women's clothes, like
weather, are made to be talked about
and if not, why not? We all know
that a good lot of them are not made
for comfort, neither are they made
for looks. They fail in both of these
requirements. If they are made Cor
comfort, it could only be in spots.
Abbreviated in length, both top and
bottom and so much so in width that
they act like hopples. Well, that is
all right for when all the other girls
and ladies wear them any one would
feel very much out of place and be
odd if they were different. There
is one thing certain that all the tho't
and remarks will not change them.
Recently we heard Christian LADY,
remark that great many boys had
been ruined by girls. We think this
is true, but we think that great
many girls have been ruined by boys. |
How nice it is for elderly people to
comment and affirm that the good
old days are gone, the days Of modest |
girls and noble boys. Perhaps it may
be true that times in some WAYS |
have changed and they have, but we
remember some things when we were
with the girls a few years since that
is about as they are now. We think |
the girls of today are about like their |
were and the boys are about |
like their fahers were, and some OF |
them much better. 1t is better to be
charitable toward them and they will |
enjoy life much more.
