Editors

It seems to us that the everlasting moan that goes up from newspaper men about the extreme Ipovery of the editor is mighty tiresome thing
 One would think by what some of the brethren have to say that the newspaper business is i sort of char ity bureau and poor fat Inn combined.
 A man who has tried preaching and failed, secondhand business and failed, matrimonial bureau and failed gets hold of a hand press and three fonts of type and proceeds to adver- tise his poverty. He takes any old thing on subscription and poses as the only unfortunate in the community.
 The painful part of the affair is that these misguided and Iuntutored mental defolsnities pose as newspaper men. The newspaper business is just as good as any buiness if it is run right. However, no man can make a success in the. newspaper game by everlastingly harping about his pow efty. After a time the people will begin to look upon him as an object of charity and not as abusiness man who pays for what h0gets and ex- poets pay for his paper and his ad- vertising.
 And the strange part of it all is that these poverty pleaders call them selves journalists"
 Hades is full of journalists, but one must travel some distance before the eye is gladdened with a genuine news paper mana man who pays his bills sticks by his principles, and stands square on his feet and makes his busi- ness pay.
 Get out you poverty moaners- you make us ill.

THE PARADE
Human Buzzards

We love the town of Carlisle and her people, but are not blind to our faults. One of these is that we talk too much.
 As we write, we have in mind man in the D rime of life. We have heard him at his favorite diversion of smirching regulations and blaokening good names. He gloats over piece of scandal as a huzzard gloats over carrion. He seeks the first opportu- nity to pass 1t on and in passing adds a few slimy details to the unsavory morsel as his lips drip with lies. He can be found in the morning hours when honest men are at work, sitting on the edge of chair in some wom-. ans kitchen spreading the foul con- tamination that soils woman's char acter or blasts mans good name.
 Of all the loathsome things that crawl upon the earth these village tale-bearers, these assassiis of char acter, these lying peddlers of gossip are the meanest and most contempti- ble We can have some forgiveness for the old crone who sits all day alone by her fire, who is hungry for some one to talk to, whose hearing has failed and who does not repeat correctly. She is an object of pity end what she says should be heard with tolerance and mercy.
 But when a man or woman with no excuse, go about the community lying and exaggerating, misrepresent- ing and misquot;ng, spreading discord breeding hatred and distrust, estrang- ing friends and leaving a path of ruined reputations, shattered hopes and broken hearts, there ought to be some way to make them suffer as they have made others suffer.
 We have cleaned up the town in many ways; let us clean it up of this nasty habit of gossip. We planted flowers in many spots in the village let us plant kind words in the hearts of our neighbors and friends.
 A humorous writer on one of the large dailies truly said: "The women would be the biggest gossips on earth If it were not for the men,"
 The oid-Fashioned Boy
 What has become of the old-fash- toned boy who loved his mother, was polite to his sisters, and respected all womanhood?
 We mean the boy who got up and gave his mother the easy chair when she came into the room; the boy who refused to laugh when a dirty story was told, and who looked upon his sis ter as his special charge when they were out in company.
 The young fellows who wear dog caps on the sides of their heads and stand about on the street corners, talking of somebody's sister and puff  ing smoke through their noses, are as different from the old-fashioned boy as day is from night.
 Can't you remember when there were lot of old-fashioned boys here in Carlisle? They swam in the river and they played the innocent pranks of boyhood. Not always gentle, but always respectful. They called the older men MT. So and So, and they lifted their hats to the ladies. They worked for their spending money and generally helped mother with con tribution toward the household ex- penses on Saturday night.
 We just don't seem to get used to this turkey-trot, shimmy, slangy, lack of respect for anybody or anything era.
 If we were a girl we'd tie can to some of the nincompoops that come sneaking around. We would rather be a bachelor girl for a thousand years

IN MEMORY.

Uncle John C. Rhodes, as he was
most generally known, was born Nov.
4, 1886, and died March /, 1921, at
HOO o'clock, p, m, hence he was 81
years, three months and "a days Of
age. He had been in feeble health
for several years with the dreadful
disease, diabetus, but never had been
confined to his bed very little.
He was an ex-Confederate soldier
and like many others bore the strug-
giles of the Civil War for something
near four years. Was surrendered at
Greensboro, N. c., but came home to
his invalid mother and his sisters and
after his mothers death he cared for
two sisters and neice, his sisters hav-
ing died some years ago, he then liv-
ed with his neice, that he had raised
who is the wife Of J. M. Bantley.
He leaves to mourn his departure,
one brother, Lee Rhodes of Grand
bury, Texas, and several neices and
nephews.
Uncle John was born and reared in
Henderson county, and could say
more than great many people-he
died on the same place he was born.
He lived through all his life except
the years he served in the army on
this place and had so often heard him
say that no other place would seem
like home to him.
He was for fifty years or more a
member of the Masonic fraternity,
and was Baptist in belief but never
united with the church, and a life
long Democrat.
He was laid to rest on March the
End in Jacks Creek Cemetery-fun-
eral services were conducted by Ell
der j. II. Phillips, Primitive Bap-
fist minister, one of whom he liked
to hear preach, and in the presence
of large crowd Of friends his body
was then consigned to the cold and
narrow limits Of the tomb, there to
await the Resurrection Of all Of
Gods children and when the blessed
Savior comes all shall come forth and
be like him.
While we miss him more than
tongue can tell, we feel he is at rest
with his blessed King, and can only
say: Sleep on Uncle John and take
thy rest. God called thee home. He
knows best.
Written by his neice and one who
loved him.
