McCrory Does Honor to
Woodruff Co. Volunteers
The last and one of the best
entertainments given in honor of
the Woodruff County volunteers
was tendered Company “A” at
the Methodist church in McCrory
last Friday evening.
An elaborate program was
rendered, appropriate addresses
made and delightful refresh
ments served to our honored
guests and they seemed to enjoy
the occasion to the fullest.
We believe that Captain Hutch
ins “hit the nail on the head”
when in his response he stated,
“There is not a streak of yellow
in a single member of Company
“A,” and such stuff has no place
in this bunch of men from Wood
ruff County.”
With the optimistic and cour
ageous Robert M. Hutchins and j
> his corps <ff brave subordinates
leading the gentlemen who com
pose the membership of this vol
unteer company, we know they
will rank among the first in ev
erything honest and honorable in
every part that they may play in
the world struggle, and we hope
to give them a greater reception j
upon their return from France, j

“BUSINESS IS BUSINESS”
\
BY BERTON BRALEY
u
EDUSINESS is business, but men are men,
Loving and working, dreaming,
Toiling with pencil or spade or pen,
Roistering, planning; scheming.
“Business is business/’ but he’s a fool
Whose business has grown to smother
His faith in men and the golden rule,
§*“ His love for a friend and brother.
£ “Business is business,” but life is life;
Though we’re all in the game to win it,
Let’s rest sometimes from the heat of strife
And try to be friends a minute.
Let’s seek to be comrades now and then,
And slip from our golden tether;
“Business is business,” but men are men,
And we’re all good pals together!

Another Word to
Property Owners
Some people seem to under
I stand that the cans being placed
in closets are the only improve
j ments that the town ordinance
j will accept. Any person who
j feels like spending $25. or more
| can put in a concrete tank which
; requires no scavenger service,
and that is even better than the
can. Of course a sewer svstem
is best of all. Getting something
! better than you have had is the
i plan. Any who desire it may
; have our service in directing the
installation of concrete tanks.
