The Punta Gorda herald., 1922-04-14

from lne men anu Il DON HSeu do
Christmas and bids fair to pass to the
| fifth this term.
/ 1t would seem that some of our
young bloods cannot escape the spirit
OF rowdyism. Saturday night some
one placed an old auto frame in the
road in such way that certain young
men who We're calling on their friends
here had to drive over it or ran upon
il before it could be discovered.
| Boys, remember that auto tires cost
money. You cannot expect the ladies
to hold YOU in very high esteem sO'
long as you practice such spite work
on your rivals Deport yourselves as
gentlemen if you wish to win the fa-
vor and respect of the ladies. No
self respecting young lady can look
with favor on any boy who has no
self respect. We sincerely hope there
) is spark Of true manhood lying
. latent under wOur bOyish rudeness
; and that you now feel the sense Of
. shame to the extent that you will not
allow yourselves to be guilty of such
; tricks in the future.
: Prof McNey of Murdoch spent Sat
. urday and Sunday with friends in
Mccall and Vineland,
Uncle Jimmie Jordon took his de
ro, biC bon,, in DbiIo6aln N
last Saturday. Mr.. Jordon was high
: ly pleased with our climate and soil
. and frequently spoke of his regret at
not coming to the land of sunshine
: and flowers land of Opportuni-
. ties when he was a young man He
.. was so highly impressed with our
: climate that it was an easy matter to
. secure his scalp for years subscrip-
ton to the Herald. Come again
. Uncle Jimmie, you can be our boy
right on and we will be pleased to
; take your scalp every spring for the
dear old Herald.

4 "Bazz' Whidden was telling us of
fthe good fortune of the Board of
; Commissioners. He stated that the
Hon. Board of old DeSotO had ia
; vored the board of Charlotte and
promised them the skimmings from
. the cane on that fine parcel Of ground
; in dispute Mr. Whidden also stated
. the board of Charlotte had engaged
him to work those skmmings.
Messrs. Gottfried Semple and W,
F. Whidden motored to Punta oGrda
: last week.
. Charles and Stewart Anderson Of
Manasota spent Sunday evening with
: old friends in Mccall.
Some young ladies, ranging in age
from 10 years to 16 years, went
. Sunday afternoon to take a bath and
on arrival at the pond they found
. that some boys in their teens had
. preceded them and were already in
: the water The fact that the boys
. were naked and were jumping like
/. mullet did not stop the young ladies
: (?) from going right on in for they
. had chaperone with Fthem. The
church work is progressing nicely and
. as is desired, if we can procure an
!. evangelist to conduct a series OF
I meetings, we believe it will then be
!. safe for young ladies TO so swimming
!: without chaperOne.
: We would like to call the attention
Z. Of voters to the facts that there are
