GIRLS IT IS TRUE.
(J iris do you know or did you
ever stop to thiuk that inoro than
half of the young1 follows who try
to ninUn n. ninsh on you would
rather help you to go to hell than
to assist you to riso in tlio world
and become a good and useful
and virtuous woman? It is a
fact, brutal and astonishing fact
though it is and though it may be
hard to say. The honest young
man the man who approaches
you with respect and deference
may not bo as "flip" as the oth
er follow, and you may bo sure
that his attentions aro good and
that ho would rather help you to
bo a good girl than lead you to be
a bad one. The young man
whoso motives are honest will not
make "cracks" at you on the
street nor use languago in your
presence that would cause a real
ly modest woman to blush. The
young man who works, who hus
tles, who acts like a gentleman
because he is one, not because he
has to, is the man for you. The
young man who never works (ex
cept when he works somebody
for a loan) but always looks
"nice," who spends his day in
idle "josh" and his nights over a
game that he will never learn to
play, who make "cracks" at you
in public and who gabs about how
you are stuck on him to his as
sociates, is a good fellow to keep
away from. If you don't think
this advice worth anything just
wait a few years and maybe you
will change your mind.
BIG STRIKE ON.
The great strike in the anthra
cite coal region of Pennsylvania,
ordered by the United Mine
Workers of America, began Mon
day, when between 100,000 and
112,000 miners out of 140,000 re
fused to work.
Representatives of the opera
tors declare that they have stocks
of coal on hand sufficient to last
for six months, that the men can
not remain out long enough and
that their demands will not be
granted.
The question of submitting the
whole problem to three arbitra
tors was disposed of by Prank
Pardee, who said: "Arbitration
can now be introduced only upon
a proposition embracing two
points, powder at $1.50 a keg and
a 40 per cent, reduction in
wages."
Resolutions of Respect.
At a meeting of Asbury Epworth
League No. 12505, of Green Hill M. E.
church, September 17, 11)00, the follow
ing resolutions were pussed;
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God to remove by death our esteemed
Bister and member of the League, Annie
Sipes, Resolved, That we bow In
humble submission to the Divine will,
knowing that to live is Christ, but to
die is guin; and while Earth counts a
mortal less, Heaven numbers a saint
more.
Resolved, That through her death
the League has lost an eillcient, faith
ful and earnest member; the family, a
kind and loving daughter, and the
church a pious and devoted Christian.
Resolved, That we extend to the
relatives of the deceased member our
sincere spmpathy, realizing that she
has answered the last roll-call, to
which we all shall have to answer in
the near future.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of our League,
and a copy of the same published in
the county paper.
