No ingenuity or labor wae spared by the gay attendants of the bridal party to make their going away so unigue as never to he forgotten, for in an open wagon gorgeous with vari-colored ribbons, bunting, posters, was this merry pair drawn through the streets to the sta- tion by the young men.

II every parent were as sensible as was this one there need be no fear of our boys not growing into true men. Respect for authority, whether that of parent, teacher, church or state is necessary and the earlier it is inouleated into a child’ mind the better it will be for his future. No nation is as disrespectful of authority as are we Americans and the lack of this discipline in the young of this generation is appalling. - Few children’ nowadays are amenable to rule at home and consequent- ly are incorrigible at school. If disciplined there, the parent usually censures the teacher and often takes the child from school. There finally comes a, time when be gets beyond even parental anthority atid is then turned ‘over to a ‘boarding school master who is expected to do what the par- ent cannot. . The modern fallacions ‘meth- od of ‘“‘sparing the rod’’ and tolerating im- pertinence and . disrespect. .in.the home is responsible for thé insubordination in school and church that leads to unhappiness, dis- honesty and threatens the overthrow of our nation. : pi ADDITIONAL LIME OPERATIONS.—That seotion of the county in and around Pleas- ant Gap promises to" ‘be one of the biggest lime operations at no distant day of any place in the State.
