NEGRO NEWS NOTES
Concerning the Negroes of McCrory
and Woodruff County. Edited by
J. E. Livingston, Principal
McCrory Negro School
Remember the rally at Morn
ing View Baptist church on Sun
day Nov. 14.
Miss Pattie Lue Smith is said
to have left for Memphis, Tenn.,
on a short visit.
John Gilespie has experienced
a hard attack of sickness from
which there seems to be a chance
for recovery.
The total collection of the C.
W. R. M. B. District Association
at Brinkley, recently adjourned,
was $1,761.72.
Rev. J. A. Smith returned
from Colt, Ark., last Monday
with a good report of his Rally
service at Mt. Maria where he
has been pastoring for several
months. His day’s collection
was $52.05.
Sunday School opens at St.
John Baptist church at 9:30
o’clock every Sunday. The pas
tor, Rev. DeWitt Williams, urged
on last Sunday that eyery mem
ber of the church attend Sunday
School and that all sinners and
idle Christians would be supplied
with Sunday School literature if
they will come to Sunday School.
Rev. DeWitt Williams, pastor
of St. John Baptist church, was
on hand and at his post of duty
Sunday, Nov. 7, to baptize and
hold his pastorial service. Ten
candidates were baptized, the
baptismal sermon was preached
at night and the Lord’s Supper
administered. The churchr was
visited by a distinguished preach
er, Rev. James Miller of Wynne,
Ark., who officiated in adminis
tering the Lord’s Supper. The
congregation was unusually
large and the day’s collection
was $32.50. The increased con
gregation and collections show
the good will of the people to
ward the new pastor.
The editor of The Home News
has offered a good proposition to
the colored people who are inter
ested in reading and keeping up
with the local news of colored
people of McCrory and Woodruff
County. He offers the Memphis
Weekly Commercial Appeal and
The Home News, both for $1.25
per year, and in the bargain you
get the remaining issues of The
Home News for 1915. Mr.
Raney proposes to furnish a col
umn each week for “Negro News
Notes” on condition that he can
get 25 new subscribers among the
colored people. Help us to get
these 25 subscribers by taking
The Home News, in addition
with the excellent bargain of the
Commercial Appeal furnished for
25 cents more. The writer, J.
E. Livingston, editor of this de
partment will be on the streets
Saturday and will be glad to re
ceive your subscription.
