The editor of The Walton News drops into
this rhapsody on the American girl:
"Tlie truest, best ami sweet.-st type of the
Aiuerlcan girl of today does not i-otue from
the home of wealth; she steps out from the
hottie where exists comfort rather than lux
uries. She belongs to the great tnl'ldle class
that class which has given us the best
American wifehood; which has given help
mates to the foremost American u.en of out
time- which tea*-li>-s its daughters tin* true
meaning of love; which teches rhe manners
of the drawing room but the practl'-al life
of the kifhen as well; which teaches its
girls the res)ionsibilities of -vift-naod and the
greatness of motherhood. These girls may
not ride in their carriages, 'hey may not
wear tlie most expensive gowns, they may
even help a little to enlarge the family in
come. but these self-same girls are today
the great bulwark of American society, rot
only present, but of Hie future, i’iiey repre
sent the American home and what i.- lest
iind truest in sweet domestic life, and 11 ey
make the best wives for onr Ame.-man men.
The Chattanooga News tells ttie following
new joke of ex-Governor Bob Taylor:
“i’at was about to die. The priest had been
called and bad administered tin- last service.
Then lie said: ’i’at. is there anything else you
desire?’ ‘Yes,’ said i’at. T want to lie bur
ied in a third party graveyard.’ ’Vyiiy, i’at.
