Editor of the News:
It is a general
failing of human nature and has
been since the days of Grand-Pa
Adam to look into and inquire
about the business of others.
Knowing this to be true, I for
one have held my peace and kept
my thoughts to myself. But
there is a time, ‘‘When silence
ceases to be a virtue.”
There are many things that
should occupy the public mind
and engage the attention of all.
The newspapers are filled with
new trusts being formed and
mergers being merged and great
strikes being struck and mighty
corners being cornered. All of
which causes feeling of restless
ness to creep up the back of the
business!* world, which pin turn
looks out over the strong mass of
poor humanity with a suspicious
leer in his eyes, which seems to
ask itself, what will be next?
Rut undoubtedly the most im
portant question at present is
the public roads. Never have I
seen the roads in such a condi
tion. WHat has become of the
Overseer?
There are a few places on near
ly all the roads that are simply
too bad to drag a team through,
these places should be repared in
some way as soon as possible.
And there present condition is
largely due to there having been
neglected before the wet weather
set in, and will continue to, grow
worse through the winter. The
Free Press said in a recentissue,
in effect, that if a great improve
ment was not made on the Public
roads, that the road tax would
Boon be a thing of the past, and
suggested buildingigood roads,
using rock and gravel, and begin
at Augusta, why not begin at
DeView (it is more centrally
located) and first make a good
road to McCrory, then we could
go and pay our subscription
for the News and attend to
other important business, and
have no fear of crippliug a team
or sticking over night in a mud
hole.
I think it best for us all to look
in to the proper solution of this
matter, so all things will work
through for the goedfof the Coun
ty, and in 1901 vote for no road
ta x.
I will mention a few other
| things that are needed by DeView,
first we want a president that
wont delight in insulting the
south, then we will like a good
| crop year for 1903, and we also
! want a cotton gin, and a trust
| that can be trusted, and last but
: not least a steam boat to ply
I Tupelo with GidStarksascaption
! and George Thompson for pilate.
i “Selah.”
At the last election this side
of the River, an the saying goes,
was victorious with two excep
tions and they were the Hon. J.
D. Eidridge for Representative
Hon. E. L. Billiuglea for Treasur
er. Sometimes, we doubt the a
bove. They tell us “charity be
gins at home,’’but neither one
of our clerks have as yet known
home as far as placing their legal
advertisements is concerned.
Our sheriff has placed every no
tice pertaining to the sheriff’s
office in the News, the people’s
organ, and he hereby notifies the
public that if they wish to know
the doings of the sheriff, they
will find same in the News. No
sane man can criticise an official
elected from this side for
patronizing the institutions of this
side. We hope the boys will re
member the interests of majority.
Don’t do as the News Man says,
but ask yourself the question,
“what does my constituoncj-say”
“What "would their answer be if
they were asked as to what
news paper to patronize.
If you come to the conclusion
that the News is not the organ
of your constituency, then con
tinue in your course.
NEWLY HARRIED.
She was newly-married and
did not know a little bit about
either housekeeping or shopping,
and she was giving her very first
order. It was a crusher, but the
grocer was a clever man and was
used to all kinds of orders and
could interpret them easily. 1
“I want two pounds of paraly
zed sugar,” she began.
“Yes’m. Anything else?” £
“Two tins of condemed milk. ” j \
“Yes’m.”
He set down pulverized sugar ;
and condensed milk.
“A bag of fresh salt. Be sure it ;
is fresh.”
“Yes’m. What next?”
“A pound of desecrated cod- 1
fish.”
He wrote glibly, “Dessicated :
cod.” i
‘ Nothing more, ma’am? We :
have some nice horesradish just •
in.” <
‘"No,” she said. “It would beof :
no use to us; we don’t keep a :
horse.” :
Then the grocer sat down and :
fanned himself with a washboard, :
although the temperature was :
freezing.—Home Companion.

Nothing is too good for my

Hccrory, Arkansas
The News Man visited Augusta
Tuesday and Wednesday and
while there he had the judgment
of the Justice court affirmed in a
damage suit of fi. L. Hamilton ts.
the Iron Mountain R. R. He was
kindly given the following names
to be placed on subscription list
of the News: W. R. Bishop of
Snapp, J. L. Beets of Tilton, W.
H. Riley of Riverside, Harry
Amarine and T. S. Gonkle of Au
gnsta and Uncle Tom O Ban non
of Seay. We also visited Mr.
Louis T. Penn at his "True Blue
Dispensary,” theStarSaloon and
we were rewarded by a contract
to advertise The Star of Augusta,
the Star Saloon. You will see his
locals elswbere. The Genteel
Merchant Tailor, O. A. Barth,
we paid a social call and while in
his lordly apparkmenta, where
men haw their millinery dresses
roads*, wa were pleased by a con
tract to run & four inch double
column add in the News to inform
tho people of Woodruff Co. that
there is one of the best Tailors
iu th(! State located at Augusta.
This is the simple truth without
owe ounce of hyperbole. He makes
the clothing to lit you and does
not endeavor, as many others do,
to make you tit the clothes. Give
him a trial and you will be forever
pleased. We were on curiaity
bent while away from home and
as wo noticed the sign on the
corner opposite B. P. Shoup,
“Wade in and see Buck handie
’em,” we walked right in expect
ing to see a slight of hand
performance going on or some
lond-lunged descendant of Adam
explaining why the Ground Hog
did not show himself these days
but to our utter amazement, we
saw what very much resembled
the interior of the Ancient Tem
ple of the Seven Spheres. To stitfld
before that French Plate sur
rounded by elegant mahogony
second to none in the State, one
naturally imagines himself in
the courts of European Royalty.
While there, viewing the palms as
they give the whole scene afresh
nesa of spring, the proprietors
walked up and gave us a contract
to advertise their palatial Quar
ters. We are well pleased with
our trip and the News is mov
ing on.
