This is the year, the month and
the week when the editor must
once more remind his delinquent
subscribers how badly he needs
. that dollar.
To refuse a paper at the post
office is simply a cowardly way of
insulting the editor, and thus re
fuse it, when indebted to it only
doubles the insult.
We want to know when you
have friends to eat “chicken din
ner” or to visit, you. It is such i

BROOKS-RENAU.
On last Sunday evening at 2 :00
o’clock at the home of Mr. H.
Rauey, Mr. Chas. Brooks, age 28
and Miss Ed Renau, age 21, were
quietly married by Rev. H. T.
Raney,
The groom is an excellent young
man of move than ordinary busi
ness ability, who came here some
time ago from Cotton Plant. He
holds a position as bar-tender at
the saloon of H. Raney & Co., and
has made many friends here. The
bride is the accomplished daughter
of Mrs. S. A. Renau, of near How
ell, and her friends are numbered
by her acquaintances.
The young couple will make
this place their future home and
the News most heartily joins their
friends in extending congratula
tions and good wishes.
One of our subscribers took us
to task this week for failing, as he
remarked, to publish all that hap
pened. It was fortunate for this
particular individual that discre
tion occasionally demands the om
misson of unpleasant items.
Should we publish all that is told
to us we would be with the angels
in about twenty minutes after our
papers were mailed. We try to
print all items that are news, or
that will encourage, help or cheer
any of our citizens along life’s
rugged road. We all doubtless
would enjoy reading “all the news”
when it’s about the other fellow,
but our policy is to turn over to
the gossips the spreading of scand
als that only leave sorrows in their
trail.

The mangled body of an un
known negro man was found on
the Missouri Pacific track some f
of a mile west of McCrory, Tues
day morning. He, it is supposed,
was about 22 years old, weight
about 150 pounds, wore blue over
alls, black shirt, straw hat with
blue handkerchief around it. An
empty pocket book, a sack of smok
ing tobacco and a leather watch
chain was found in his clothes. The
unknown person person came to
his death by being run over by a
west-bound passenger train, on the
night of August, 13th. Coroner
Harpole, of Augusta, appointed
Mayor Raney to act as coroner in
his stead. An inquest was held
the morning of the 14th. The jur
ors rendered a verdict that the
cause of the man’s death was as
above stated. Some were of the
opinion that the man had been
murdered and laid upon the track
while others thought that he was
riding underneath the cars, on the
rods, and fell off same. The car
wheels cut his head into scattering
his brains along the track. The
body was also cut into just below
the abdomen and one leg was cut
off above the knee and the other
just below the knee. ’Twas a ter
rible sight to see, his flesh and
bones being scattered for some 50
yards along the track.

length and breadth of the state
and which is destined to grow into
great popularity. The discussion
of the many vital industrial and
educational problems that will
have to be solved in the develop

and impressive at the State Fair

NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and ,
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash f
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of |
your patronage as well as to share f
the benefit of doing business on a |
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett. |
Don’t teach your children that it
is a shame to wear worn and patch
ed clothes if you are not able to af
ford better, but that it is no honor
in wearing new ones that are not
paid for. A poet said, “Remem
ber, that rags may cover a boy,
who some day may be the great
world’sjoy.”
If there is a chance to boom
business, boom it, Don’t put on a
long face and look as though you
had a stomach ache. Hold up your
head, smile and look for better
things. Hide your little hammer,
and try to speak well of others, no
matter how small you may know
yourself to be.
Many a woman goes out shop
ping di-essed in silk and enveloped
in perfume whose hard-working
husband hasn’t had a new suit of
clothes or a decent meal in five
years. Yes, and many a loafer
stands on the street with a stinking
pipe in his face, his tank full of
“booze” and his mouth full of pro
fanity, whose hard-working wife
hasn’t had a new dress or a kind
word since she was married.
The quiet fidelity with which a
woman will dish wash her life a
way for her husband and children
is a marvel of endurance. Here is
the servitude of women heaviest,
no sooner is her work done than it
requires to be done again. Men
take jobs, work on them, finish
them, and they are over for good
and all. The prospect of ending
them and drawing pay for the la
bor is alluring, but no such allure
ments are held out for the wife.
She washes Monday after Monday
the same garments until there is
nothing more of them to wash;
then they are replaced by others of
new material just like them, and
the rubbing and wringing goes on
forever. She mends the stockings
with tireless fidelity, the same
holes meeting her gaze week after
week, for if there is a “darned”
place in a sock “he” invariably
puts his irrepressible toe through
it. Every morning the rooms are
put in order, only to be in the
wildest disorder by the time night
falls. There are no jobs, each one
different, no terms, no pay. The
same socks, the same washing, the
same room every time.
The Best Is Always Cheapest
So in buying an 0.

You are getting an ar
ticle that is made of

You are getting the
