The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1922-01-08
FLINT HILL

Most everybody in our neighborhood
had very good time Christmas.
Visiting was the order of the day. We
heard of very little drinking, or other
disorderly conduct. Every one SEEM
ed to have the spirit of Christmas
and to understand what it meant. We
hope to live to see the day when the
man that drinks on his Masters Birth
day will be cast out Of society and
stunned as if he were a dog. 1t is so
disgusting to see men with family
drinking up their earnings, when may
be the wife and kiddies are at home
with barely enough of the necessities
of life to make living tolerable.
There will be a meeting of the pat
rons of the Stanley School, Thursday,
Jan. 5, for the purpose of deciding
whether or not to repair the school
house, to be used as a community
building. We hope that everybody
that is interested will come out and
help make this move a success.
