Man that is born of his parents
is of a few days and full of microb
es. He goetli to school when a
youngster and gets the seat of his ,
pants paddled for something he
didn’t do untill he is sick at heart. 1
He grows up like a weed in a hack
yard and soon reaches the age
when he is composed largely of i
feet, freckles and an appetite for
pie. About the time he gets too
long for short trousers, and not
long enough for long ones he goes
away to college, learns how to
monkey with a three dollar man
dolin and play whiskey-poker.
He cometb home a bigger fool
than ever and marrieth a sweet
young thing whose pa is supposed
to be wealthy, but whom he sub
sequently ascertaineth, could’nt
buy the prize rooster at a county
fair. He worrieth along from
year to year, gradually acquiring
offsprings, until his home resemb
les a Sunday school class just be
fore Christmas. He fretteth
dirough the day and lieth awake
lights trying to figure out how to
seep himself and his dependent
lopulation out of the poor house.
Efforts are rewarded by having
lis daughters run away and get
narried and bring him home a
lice son in-law every few days to
'east at his board. His sons grow
ip and call him governor and set
dm back a five spot every day or
wo. About the time he has ac
quired enough lucre to make it
vorth while for his heirs to quar
■el over, he contracts a cold and is
lurried away before he has time
o have a talk with his family.
Iis sons blow in his estate on bad
vliiskey and plug hats, and his
vife puts the finishing touches to
iis career by marrying the hired
nan.
If you are superstitious about
he number 13 you had better give
is your quarter dollars, for on
(ach one are 13 stars, 13 letters in
die scroll of the eagele’s beak, 13
eaves on the olive branch, 13 ar
•ow heads and letters in the words
‘quarter dollar”. Now it’s not
safe to keep them so just bring
hem in and get credit on your sub
scription for the full amount.
McCrory was somewhat demol
slied Wednesday evening about
2:00 o’clock, by a fierce wind
The wind was of such fierceness
that it blew the Methodist church
some 18 inches off its foundation,
The two large, tall chimneys or
the south side of the new school
building, which extended 19 feel
above the roof, were blown ovei
crushing in the slate roof, below
them. The large tent which had
just been raised in which a revival
is to begin, was blown to the
ground. Rev. A. C. Cloyes, Cl B,
Cook, C. L. Jones and J. T. Atkin
son were under the tent when the
storm came. Mr. Cook was the
only person to receive any injuries.
The damage done to the church
will amount, to $300.00 while that
of the school house will be some
thing near $250.00.
Our street committee made quite
an improvement last week on our
streets by having several mud
holes filled. There is another
however, just south of the railroad
that should receive prompt atten
tion.
Notice.
The Sods of Confederate Veter
ans will meet at MeCrory, Tuesday,
Aug. 7th. All members are re
quested to be present. All con
federate veterans and their sons
are cordially invited to attend the
meeting.
WHITE LAKE’S PICNIC
The people of MeCrory, and
Barnes township, enjoyed them
selves at a birthday pinic and fish
fry given in honor of Miss Ruth
Powell’s 19th birthday, at White
Lake some three and one half
miles north-east of our town last
Tuesday. Quite a crowd was pres
ent and every one had a good time.
Among the humoious things that
took place there we note the fol
lowing. Some of the young ladies
went strolling down the lake sever
al hundred yards to where, they
thought, “man had never explored”
to go wading aud when they had
relived themselves of their foot
wear, and were wading in the
water of the lake, near the bank,
all at once, to their surprise, a loud
cry of a man was heard on the op
posite shore, saying to another
‘1 Hurry on with the kodac! ’ ’
No ship, steam-engine or plauing
mill ever made a noise equal to the
one sent up by the girls, when
this “man-cry” was heard. It
the photographer made a success
of the picture, he cau certainly
make a little piece of money ofll
our boys for we heard several offer
as much as $2.50 for one of the
pictures.
Boat-rides, walks up and down
the lake, fishing etc., constituted
part of the days programe. The
dinner was a graud success,—fish,
meats, cakes, coffee aud everything
good to eat, usually found at such
a place was there in great abund
ance. It was a complete success.

fiEST AND CHOICEST MEATS
It has pleased the Commander in
Chief of the Universe to call our
fellow guardsman, James Mayfield
to the tents of the dead. To the
call of the last bugle he has ans
wered “here”. We join those
who are sworn to protect the life
and property of our state in de-1
ploring the loss of a good soldier
and grieving with the family over'
the loss of a son. But we do well}
to bear in mind that there is a day j
when the trumpeter of God will |
take his bugle of gold and blow j
the grandest call in the world, the
“Reveille”, and then we’ll see our
comrade rise to his reward for a
faithful performance of duty.
The deceased was born July the 9,
1882, and departed this life July
26th. 1906.
