Marriage Vs.
Bachelorhood
I VV ur rcit Kecord )
The follow inn verses denounc
i 11 k mid upholding wedlock, writ
ten yeiim ago, were found recent
ly by Mrs. II. K. Davis while look
ing through some old papers aiul
submitted l?y her to this newspa
per for publication:
Tilt: it M tiKi.oirs rs.UMi
Tell me not in idle jingle.
Marriage is a happy dream;
For the boy is rich that's single
And girls are not what tli^y
seem.
Free t.hiiu mi, then f ree remain,
air;
Marriage is no brave manV
gOHl.
l.et her papa still maintain her.
Escape her "rollin'pin" of old.
Then in joy, and not in sorrow.
You will go your destined way.
And you'll tlnd on each tomorrow
Farther from the fatal day.
Life Is long, and youth is fleeting.
And our hearts, now light and
guy.
Like bass drums should not he
heating
Wheif a woman comejirour way.
When she courts you. do not fal
ter.
l)o not let Iter wreck your life
lHut't he driven to the altar,
Say f "Nix for me; 1 want no
wife."
Trust 110 girl, however pleasant.
No matter what is done or said:
Even tho 110 one is present, .
Hold her hands hut keep you,'
head.
?
Lives of bachelor's remind us.
We can make our lives sublime.
^nd departing, leave behind us.
Oirls resisted every time.
Girls that try to win you. Broth. . .
Are not worth the. time an I
cost; ?
They 'ye ship-wrecked many an
other,
So- be brave, and don't be lost.
Let us then watch what we're
doing.
? ' Keep our hearts against lhe".i

No matter how they keep pur
suing.
Let them not a victim get.

PSALM"
To the Camp Knox News:
I fm by nature quite tolerasit
in my views. I, feel that eae'i
man is entitled to his own philos
ophy of life, but whenever a man
tries to force a false philosophy
upon others, then I feel under ob
ligations to advocate the truth.
Since one of the bachelors of th?
81st, through your columns a cou
ple of weeks ago. gave still fur
ther demonstration of the trutii
(that "misery loves company." 1
feel under constraint to make rli ?
following reply:
"A Married Mail's MriliHilion>."
Poor old bach'lor, sad and lonely.
Hopeless, homeless, and forlorn:
Still you would proclaim your vir
tues,
| Spite of ridicule and scorn
Just for your own consolation.
To console your wretched fate.
Vou would gladly picture marriage
As a sad and mournful state
With attendant woes and sorrow.
Too lugubrious to relate.
Knvy you? Well, well, 1 reckon'
As the strong envy the weak.
As the hale and hearty envy
Sightless eyes and pallid cheelf.
Yet somehow our souls within u^
Understand your bitter plaint.
Pity you your lack of foresight;
And your doctrine, false and
quaint.
We condemn as most pernicious.
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR
DOCTOR ?
?
Thi* Is the second of IhrM articles sponsored hjr The
Franklin County IMIril Hoclety tbe members of which
?re rngagnl In staAylng lo^lhrr the unpaid wrounl* of
their patient*.
As the study progresses It in apparent thai a tuner por
tion of oar people have gotten the idea that It is not necces
*ary to pay Doctor* ? their plan being to use one Ikx-tor
until he wearies of working without pay and then to change
to another.
Doctor* a* a rule are sympathetic and long suffering anil
realize that It Is not always possible for a patient to pay
an account in full at the expected Iliac for payemnt hut
the Society feels strongly that there Is no excuse for an;
one not making some payment each year for work (lone..
If every patient would make as large a payment on his
account us his best efforts permit It would not be neceasarj
for the Hoclely to adopt the measures It contemplates to
discourage this Indifferent attitude toward the payment of
Doctor* bills.
The Medical Haciety of Franklin County again urg.-s
those who liavr not yet done so to see their Doctor and
make a payment before the New Year.
