Among McCroryites noticed

ty -
A. Henry the popular K. of P.
man spent a few days in our towu

last Saturday.
It is now reported that in the

was in our city last week assist
ing A. Henry institute a K. of P.
lodge. While here he paid a j
j pleasant visit to our public school
i and made the pupils a short but
| encouraging talk on the needs of
education. He expressed him
self as being of the opinion that
we need a better school building.
Perhaps he is about right about
this.
E. T. Tilby the pearl button
man whose factory is located at
DoVaU’s Bluff was in our city the
latter part of last week. From
here he went to near Larkin on
the San Francis river where
he has a couple of gangs at work
gathering the mussle shell for
his factory. Up to last Friday
Tilby informs us that 200 tons
of mussle shell have been gather
ed out of White river at this place.
As stated before he has a factory
at DeValls Bluff which has in op
eration 75 saws. The out put of
blanks for fresh water pearl but
tons at the factory is 4,000 gross
per week.
Gustav E. Henn of Newport,
was in town the first of the week
buying pearls. He purchased
some $625 worth from various
parties here. Mr. Henn arrived
in Augusta bearing signs that he
had been badly treated or treated
to some bad firewater, and of
| course did things for which he
I was sorry afterwards. We have
not the space to give the details
' of his grand stand spiel and will
only say that-the worst thing he
did was to resist the officers. In
resisting the officers, his head
came in contact with the police
club, and as a result he
carried quite a cut place
on the side of his head around
with him. Dr. Hackett had to
put three stitches through the
lacerated cut so severe was it.
The contact with the club also
cost him the sum of $20.00. Pret
ty severe punishment for a com
mon every day jag. Of course
he thinks he was “innocense
abroad,” but he’ll probably “look
yoosta Ieetle bit ouid yetalreaty”
next time.

Mrs. Berta Montgomery, who
has been visiting here this week,
left for her home at Searcy last
Wednesday. On her return she
stopped at Augusta a day or tw^.
We are wondering “what the fu
ture tnay bring forth.
H. C. Rushing of betwixt and
between came into the News of
fice last Friday just a foaming.
He said he was not guilty of thfe
charge of living in Pumpkin
Bend and as he lives on the bor
derland of the aforsaid and same
and as he said there would be an
editor less in this country and as
he showed us a knife of a mur
derous temperment, we hereby
correct our statement as to the
, bocatiun of Mr. gushing’s
I
whereabout. But as he does
live on the dividing line between
McCrory and Pumpkin Bend,
we will herafter mention him as
betwixt and between. Mr.
Pushing brought us some sam
ples of his second crop of irish
potatoes Friday. They are tri
umph and considering 'the dry
ness ;of the year, he has made
a wonderful hit in the potatoe
business. He cultivated only
fone sixteenth of an acre of land
land J,.ary£s.ted from this amount
of lurid t&toilsheis: ' The speci
mens, he -brought to the News
office are of the very best quality
we have ever seen. They are
rich, healthy looking potatoes.
Juding from the way our “devil”
went after them raw, we know
they are good not only to the.
sight but also to the taste. Col.
Shearer told us that all of this
betwixt and • between country
should be planted in potatoes.
Mr. Rusliing responded to this
that a man would never get
through digging the potatoes.
He also suggested that if the
railroad company should put in
a switch and an extra force
of Railroad men, he would plant
an acre or so next year. On last
Saturday he brought us tvro
large sweet potatoes which
weighed somewhere in the
neighborhood of 15 lbs. These
potatoes are the regular old yel
low yam. It would pay any com
pany to make Mr. Rushing their
traveling agent as he certainly
can discribe the good qualities of
his ware to perfection. He very
forcibly reminds one of a circus
man selling tickets or a punch
and judy showman, entertaining
a crowd.
