The chaingang is doing some good work on our roads and we are glad to see it being done. We are inform ed that there are twenty-six on the gang. , We are sorry to hear that some young boys who attended Sunday school in the morning, go home and eat their dinner and meet in the af ternoon in the old field or in the woods and playfocards and do other mean, low down things until nine and ten o’clock at night. We do not know one card from the other, and furthermore, we are not going to know. If the boys fathers would look after them and see what they are into when they are late coming in on Sunday night and punish them, they would not learn to play cards and other meaness. Some fathers, we are sorry to say, play cards them selves and learn their boys to play and give them whiskey. Mr. WI- S. Wilson is very ill at this writing.
