What People Were Thinking, 1900

 From the Watauga Democrat, Boone, N.C., published May 10, 1900

 A woman can't be said to be practical if her wedding dress is not of a material that will make over nicely for children.

In nine cases out of ten, when a woman died, the neighbors say that she could have been saved if her husband had gotten scared soon enough.

When it is prayer meeting night the mother is allowed to go to represent the family, but if it is a church concert, the father and daughters attend.

One reason why there is not more good being done is because so many people want to wait until tomorrow to begin.

It won't do any good to pray for the South Sea Islander so long as you won't speak to the man who lives in the next house.
