lets wake up.
Have you noticed the trend of
recent events with regard to the
advantages and obligations of
McCrory, as the central city of
Woodruff county?
When the Red Cross people
wanted to cover the whole coun
ty quickly they came, per force,
to McCrory. Our County Dem
stration Agents necessarily main
tain headquartere here, as the
most accessible point from which
to direct their important opera
tions. Now the far-seeing gen
tlemen who organized the Wood
ruff County Fair Association
have decided upon McCrory as
the proper place to establish per
manent fair grounds. McCrory’s
central location makes her the
ideal “Convention City” of the
county.
This entails upon us certain ob
ligations that we cannot afford to
ignore. We are sadly in need of
a properly equipped convention
hall and other accommodations
for the people who must neces
sarily come here.
Let’s wake up and welcome
the “opportunity that is knock
ing at our door.”
A Young Patriot
Egbert Dupree, 20 years of
age, a former employe of The
Home News, whose home is at
Augusta, volunteered for the reg
ular army three weeks ago at
McAlester, Oklahoma, where he
was then working at his trade.
He was accepted and sent to the
receiving station at Fort Logan,
Colorado. In that high altitude
his heart action showed below
standard at the final examination
and he was rejected, but the sur
geon intimated that he might get
]y in a lower altitude. A hint
was sufficient, and Egbert came
ome and enlisted in Company
A, Third Arkansas... ^
Egbert says he had no money
to buy Liberty bonds nor any to
give the Red Cross, and he
.ought the least he could do for
ois country is to fight for it.
ut we all know the impelling
??.use- If is in the boy’s blood.
18 ancestors have been Ameri
can volunteer' soldiers as far
back as they can be traced.
The young soldier is alternate
ly setting type on The Home
News and visiting his mother at
Augusta until August 5, when
his regiment will mobilize for ac
tive service.
This is the spirit of patriotism
that always has and always will
win America’s battles, and that
will finally put the kibosh on one
Wilhelm Hohenzollern.
