Oui’ friend P. M. Lemon has
the contract to build a $1,000.00
house for W. V. Angelo at Grays.
He is building a barn first and
intends to camp there until the
building is complete. Mr. Lemon
is a fine workman and will no
doubt have more work than he
can do, when the people see this
building completed.
Our friend M. R. Porter return
ed last Wednesday from Ala
bama where he has been visit
ing since Xmas. He brought back
with him his sister Mrs. c. P.
Dunkins,. who will remain here
on a visit, and L. c. Wilson a verj'
agreeable looking young gentle
man. We trust their sojourn in
our midst may be pleasant and
profitable.
The following is a school boy’s
idea of an editor: “The editor is
one of the happiest mortals on
earth. He can go to the circus
afternoons and evenings without
paying a cent, and to the in
quests and hangings. He gets
free tickets to picnics and straw
berry festivals, gets wedding
cake sent to him, and sometimes
gets licked, not often, for he can
take a thing back in the next is
sue, which he generally does. I
never knew but one editor to get
licked. His paper busted that
day and he could not take things
back. While other things go to
bed early the editor can sit up
late and see all that is going on.
When I am a man I mean to be
an editor so I can stay out late at
night. Railroads get up excur
sions for him. In politics he does
not care much who he goes for if
they are on his side. If they are
not he goes for them anyway. If
11 were asked if I had rather have
! an education or be a circus man
I wonld say, let me be an editor.”

On account of the lack of space |
two very spicy articles were
crowded out this week, but they
are coming.
The fragile babe and the grow
ing child are strengthened by
WHITE’S CREAM VERM I- i
FUGE. It destroys worms, gets ,
digestion at work, and so re- j
builds the body. Price 25 cents.

Miss Cora Covington of Howell, i
who has been visiting friends at j
Vandale and Wynne, stopped at
McCrory last Saturday the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Marsh and |
returned to her home last Sun-1
day.
The properties of BALLARD’S
SNOW LINIMENT possess a
range of usefulness greater than
any other remedy. A day sel
dom passes in every household,
especially where there ai’e chil
dren, that it is not needed. Price,
50 cents. Sold by Dr. Neal.
The young people of our town
enjoyed themselves hugely at a
party given at the pleasant home
of Mrs. M. M. Perkins last Tues
day night. The most laughable
occurance of the evening’s enter
tainment was that of “St. Valen
tine.” Games of all kinds were
indulged in. Just before depart
ing for their homes refresh
ments were served and all that
were present report having had
a splendid time.
Our friend Dr. M. J. Barlow of
Beebe has been visiting the
News man this week. We at
tended the University of Nash
ville together and both graduat
ed from same with two degrees
each. Since his graduation, our
friend has been attending the
Medical Department of Vander
bilt University and for the past
few years has been practicing
his profession. He is here look
ing for a good opening and on
Tuesday in company with the
News man visited Riverside.
It all depends on knowing what
to say at the right time. A gen
tleman on getting into a railway
car accidentaly trod upon the
foot of a young lady, who scorn
fully muttered about his awk
wardness. Many a man wauld
have looked foolish and apologix
ed; but he exclaimed, “My dear
young lady, I beg to apologize,
but you should have feet large
enough to be seen, and then they
would not be trod upon.” Her
frowns were displaced by smiles
with the same rapidity as a coun
try “hand out”is absorbed by a
famished tramp.—Ex.

“Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She com
plained of pains in her chest and
had a bad cough. I gave her
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
according to directions and in
two days she was well and able
to go to school. I have used this
remedy in my family for the
past seven years and have never
known it to fail,” says James
Prendergast, merchant, Annato
Bay, Jamica, West India Islands.
The pains in the chest indicated
an approaching attack of pneu
monia, which in this instance
was undoubtedly warded off by
iChamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
It counteracts any tendency of a |
cold toward pneumonia. Sold

and A. S. Thompson of DeView.
