The editor of the Johnson

gret that we part with Mr.

Raney has proven himself worthy

The Memphis Nationals and
■ Cotton Plant Reds played a series
of three games at Cotton Plant
■ last week. Wednesday’s game re
sulted in a score of 4 to 2 in favor
of Memphis, Thursday’s game 16
to 1 in favor of Cotton Plant and
! Friday’s game 26 to 16 in favor
of Memphis. It is reported that
! the Memphis boys sold out to
the Cotton Plant boys in the
games.
Last week Misses Mattie
Anderson, Myrtle Best, Lula
! Best, and Messrs. Ben Ander
son, Charlie Anderson and Fred
1 Hartin went to Eight Mile, Jack
- son county to attend a barbecue
that had been announced. When
they arrived there they found
poned. However, they were re
warded for their trouble by wit
nessing a splendid game of ball
while there.
If there is anything that will
put life into a town it is a good
brass or string band. Last Sat
urday evening the boys had a
string band out again and the
hearts of quite a number of our
citizens were made happy listen
ing to “I don’t know why I love
you, etc. There are some things
a person does not like to lose
sleep over but when it comes to
music who is it that won’t get up
and stand around in his night
gown, when the theamometer is
118 above or 40 below zero, while
the sweet strains float on the
evening breeze. There is no
time when music seems half so
sweet. Why can’t McCrory get
up a good band? We will join any
thing from a jewsharp brigade
to a brass band. There is plenty
of talent here and it ought to be
developed by being used.

The McCrory Cotton Company
are doing quite a little work on
their gin and gin houses, getting
it in trim for the accommodation
of their patrons. Quite a little
improvement has been made for
the farmer to get his cotton seed.
All they have to do when want
ing their seed is to press the
button when the seed will roll
right into their wagon.
A Kansas exchange says: It
is so hot and dry here that the
wagons are going around with
their tongues out, and ice has to
be soaked all night in water be
fore it is wet enough to make
lemonade. The catfish kick up
such a dust in the bed of the Gas
conade river that the river has to
be sprinkled before you can go
fishing. A spark from an engine
set the big railroad pond on fire
and burned up a wagon load of
bull frogs before the fire could be
extinguished, and the ground is
so hard and dry that the crawfish
holes in the low places are being
pulled up and shipped off for gas
pipes.
Our friend W. B. Allen has
been doing the “bachelor act”
the past week, his wife being
over at Searcy on a visit to her
daughter Mrs. Slayton. Mr. Al
len says he has gained about 50
pounds since his wife has gone
and if he has to eat his own-bak
ed bread much longer he will be
too heavy to work. Mr. Allen
has our utmost sympathy but we
hope his wife will soon return
and relieve him of his troubles.
It is reported that he is already
making “goo-goo” eyes at sever
al of the widows in the neighbor
hood, fearing perhaps that his
wife may not return. We don’t
believe this however.
Walter Angus, agent at Mar
f.in .Tn notion. made a SDin down
to Wiville Sunday evening last.
He keeps things hot down that
way. Recently while making
one of his regular trips a cow,
that seemed to think it had as
much right to the railroad track
as Walter, ditched him and his
railroad bicycle and stood laugh
ing at him while he was trying
to extricate himself from the ma
chinery. It doesn’t pay anyone
to say whoa or sui to Walter now
if you value his friendship, and
if you tell him wrecks are com
mon to railroaders he simply
goes wild. Boyd Angus says he
sent the productions of the
wreck verbatim ad literatim
with all the scenes to a New
York phonograph company and
will soon give exhibitions with it
illustrating just what an old ob
stinate cow can do with a rail
road agent astride a bicycle. We
have paid our nickle and will be
first to see it.
