NAUGHTY GIRL
Miss Juanita Jordan is becoming
very popular during the last few days
I at least it seemed that way, at the
| prty at the Masconic Hall, that she
attended. On dscoveding that her
ssh to her dress was untied, when got

nearly expired, at a certain young
ladies house, when George Curry and
his girl friend paid a visit to this
young lady. We were asked, if we

take it- \ ou should have heard him i
rave, one night last week up on 26th \

know him, would have thought some
one had accused him of murder or
accidentally got in his hair- But, Geo
rge you must remember, that it’s all
in life. If you do not want publicity,
you should not do things, that will
cause you to get it, such as highhat
ting a young lady, that has never
done anything in her life to hurt you,
•nd telling her to never speak to
you again- We’re sorry George, but
it can’t be heled
