lie. L. M. White, pastor of the
First Baptist church, hai been
pi r:u hing some interesting sermons
to young men. but Sunday night be
switched over to the young ladies.
Hi.s text was taken from the 31st
Chapter of Proverbs. Extracts from
his discourse was as follows:
"1 am very much interested in the
girl questiou 1 have one at home
myself."
"Jesus always spoke of women in
the highest terms, and I hope all of
the young men piesent here tonight
have the same attitude towards the
women. Women had no value until
Christ came to this earth, except in
the city of Athens. Woman's sphere
has Increased ever since, and now .she
U claiming the right of eiiual sul
rage." "Any woman may change the
course of any man's life who comes
under her sphere, but marriage has
never reformed a man and it never
will."
"I may preach myself hoarse on the
evils of dancing, but I will not ac
complish one thing without the co
operation of the young ladies. The
balance of power rests in their hands.
I hope every young lady in town will
become so enthused with the spirit
of Christ that they will repudiate
the dancing evil."
"Every war In Europe of the past
two centuries was waged on the whim
of a woman."
"Women are the greatest force of
today. I wish that they would use
their great power to stop th grow
ing use of cigarettes among young
men. Young lady, refuse to be seen
with a young man who smokes cigar
ettes. I'll then guarantee that the
stores will have to go out of business
in the sale of this particular pro
duct." "Some women haven't the proper
consideration of their husband's
pocket books. Clothes Is one of the
failures of women."
"Wonran's sphere is in the home.
Make it attractive, and make your
husband smile. Then you have ac
complished your mission on this
earth."
"Girls are taking more advantage
of our school. Only two boys gradu
ated last year In a class of sixteen."

A surprise wedding of much in
terest throughout the county oceur-

when Miss Orpha May beiamo the

mony was performed at th1? home of
the bride's parents at Wingaie by
Rev. C. J. Black. Immediately niter

in their car for the moun'ain.', where
they expect to spend a week or ten
days.
Miss May Is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. E. L. May of Wingate, nnd
she is uu attractive young lady who
has many friends. Mr. Hn-.t'.ler is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Haigler
of Goose Creek township, nnd he is
well and favorably known through
out this entire section. He is an em
ployee of the postofflce here, and he

The Matter of Street Improvement.
Mr. Harry Loving, Civil Engineer,
spent several d:iys lice last week in
the Interest of his him. the J. W.
McKary Co. of Atlanta, Ga contrac
tors and engineers. He interviewed
the Mayor and the Hwrd of Alder
men, and several inilutntlal cilizei,
on the probability of .Monroe doing
extensive street Improvement In the
near future. Last Tuesday night he
spoke at the mass meeting of citi
zens, which wus held lit the court
house.
Mr. Loving recommended sheet as
phalt for Monro streets. He claims
that it is the cheapest and "the least
expensive to repair. It has been
adopted -by most towns the size of
Monroe, and It has glvn perfect
satisfaction. The cost rangers from
$1.35 to $1.50 a square yard. Tak
ing in consideration that we have a
municipal owned rock quarry, nnd
free convict labor, the cost to the
citizens would be less than the above
quoted figures, according to Mr. Lov
ing. The McRary Co., according to their
representative, Mr. Loving, will
finance the proposed street Improve
ments. This Is an encouraging fea
ture as the financing of the proposed.
woric Das caused me Aldermen great
concern. The city has reached Its
bonded indebtedness limit, and It
would almost be an Impossibility to
carry out the work without special
legislation. Even then it would pro
bably be Impossible to borrow money
without increasing the assets of the
city.
; The street Improvement problem is
being agitated daily, and strong op
position has been manifested. Some
are opposing It as a matter of prin
ciple, and others from a standpoint
of necessity. There Is no doubt,
anti-sympathizers claim, that the pro
posed street work would tend r
work hardship on many citizen who
are really not able to pay for their
proportionate share of the work. On
the other band, the sympathizers of
the movement say that the Improve
ments contemplated are for the best
Interests of the city, and though they
realize it would work hardships on
some people, It would be for the best
Interests of the majority.

Statement I'lom Mrs. Laney.
To the citizens of Monroe:
In my report critiziaing the slaugh
ter pens of Monroe, I was actuated by
the desire to have clean and pure
food for our city. No personal mo
tive was intended; however, in re
ply, the owners claim I was In error,
and 1 cannot let the reply go unchal
lenged. The slaughter pens referred to
were not only unsanitary, but were In
decent. The premises of two of the
pens which were furnishing meats in
Monroe were in a horrible condition.
They are one room affairs where cat
tle and hogs are slaughtered and
dressed all in one little unsanitary,
dirty, hithy place. The rooms had
around the side boxes filled with of
fal with senium running around the
floor and side of the building. In
ract, words fail to describe the filth.
These scraps of offal were In easy
reach of rats which played arnttnu
the building. The blood and refuse
drain into a cess pool under the pen,
in which the hog could return to his
wallow In the mire. The odor from
this Is unbearable. Around the sides
were bones and maggots by the mill
ion. That the country slaughter house
is a factor in the spread of disease is
well known by every Intelligent per
son, and how a pen as above describ
ed can be sanitary Is above compre
hension. No hot or cold water, no
way to clean tin old rotten, rickety,
decaying, wooden building, and
them sanitary!
This is mild criticism, and some
detrimental information can be fur
nished. An avalanche of public opin
ion In favor of clean food has started
to move already, and woe betide those
who from greed, filth or carelessness,
get in the track.

Likely it's a pretty good watch, too
but you surely aren't going to ex
pect it to run a life-time without at-
tentlon.
That's unreasonable anil you'll
find it costly, too.
Because- no watch can go on for
years without wearing itself out.
We've a repair department here
waiting to give you the best possible

To My Friends and Patrons
I have gone into partnership with
Mr. Green Whitley, at his shop on
Main street in the Williams & Benton
old stand, and I will appreciate it if
you call around and give us a share of
your patronage. Everything is going
to be kept clean and sanitary, and we
are going to do our best to give the best
shaves on the market. No rush work;
every man is going to receive the same
careful attention as would be given
him as if he were the only customer
in our shop during the day's work.
We are going to make some extensive
additions to our equipment, and we
are going to conduct a first class shop.
Give us a trial.
