In the spirit of all kindness we call attention of parents to some of their boys who are not behaving as they should. One evening recent ly, while at church services, the noise by the children in the build ing and out-doors rendered it al- moet impossible for the preacher to SDeak or the audience to hear. At another church here a large crowd of boys assemble every Sunday evening on the outside, and this wouldn't be so bad if they only kept quiet, but we have seen the ushers leave the room on several occasions to quieten the disturbance. Anoth er inexcusable act is coming into church after seryices have com menced and filing out a few minutes later. Here on Main street the other evening a number of boys were shoving and pushing each other until one went through a pane of glass and in two minutes afterwards the streets were desert ed. Let the matter be corrected now, for it is understood the dis turbances were brought to the at tention of the authorities who say they will make an example of someone if it isn't immediately stopped. a ni:v i'osioriici:. roHtollloc Department Want lliils for New Ollloo Her.
