Most fortunate is the boy or girl
the young man or the young lady
who is given the opportunity to at
tend the school in our little city.
Its educational advantages surpass
any of like size, in the state of its
kind.
Settling up time is now here,
and if you wish to collect your
bills easily get your bill heads
printed. This class of work is
neatly and cheaply executed at this
office. We have in stock different
sizes and shapes of bill heads and

“The best is the cheapest.”
Your attention is called to the
change in the advertisements in
this issue and also to the new ones.
The merchants of our city appre
ciate your trade and take this means
of telling you of any bargains they
may have to offer and also to an
nounce the arrival of new goods
which are placed at your disposal
and inspection. By closely watch
ing the columns of this paper you
will learn the names of our busi
ness men who invite you to deal
with them and you can rest assur
ed that they will treat you right.
A merchant who does not care
enough for your trade to ask you
to visit his store and who does not
inform you of the many bargains
he may have to offer is hardly worth
your patronage. The progressive
merchant will always let his cus
tomers know of the arrival of new
goods at once, and the way for our
merchants to do this is through
the columns of this paper which
goes into almost every home in the
county.
A youug lady of this city went
into a dry goods store the other
day and blushingly asked the head
clerk if he “had any of those elast
ic bands, capable of being elongat
ed and adjusted at pleasure, and
used by the feminine portion of
mankind for putting around the
lower extremcties of their locomo
tive members to keep in the prop
er position and required altitude
habiliments of their tibias.” The
clerk is now seeking work on one
of the large plantations near town.
An exchange says there are two
reasons wny some people don’t
mind their own business. One is
that they haven’t any mind, and the
other is that they haven’t any busi
ness.
If the man who toils fourteen
hours a day, wears overalls and a
checkered shirt, and his wife wears
a poor quality of calico, how does
it happen that the fellow who nev
er works at all wears broadcloth
and his wife wears sealskin?

Mrs. S. C. Bishop received a tele
gram Tuesday morning stating

cidentally by a street car. Mr.
Bishop lived near MeCrory some
few years ago. He visited rela
tives here some four weeks ago

WOOD-CLOYES
Probably the most pleasant and
home-like wedding MeCrory has
ever known was that of Wednes
day morning uniting Miss Lena
lone Cloyes, of this city and Mr.*
Herman E. Wood, of Weldon.
The groom is an excellent young
man of more than ordinary busi
ness ability who has spent his past
life near Tip and in MeCrory. For
more than a year he was book
keeper for E. T. Wherry, a pros
perous merchant of this place, and
has many friends here. Some four
weeks ago he resigned his position
at the store of E. T. Wherry and
went to Weldon to accept a posit
ion with the exteusive firm of Mc
Donald & Bond. The bride is the
beautiful and accomplished daugh
ter of Rev. A. C. Cloyes, and has
many friends here who wish her
much happiness during her voy
age through life.
At 10:30 o’clock sharp the guests
assembled in the parlor of the par
sonage where the ceremony was
performed by the bride’s father,
Rev. A. C. Cloyes.
After the ceremony the bride
and groom received the congratu
lations of their friends. The pres
ents received by Mr. and Mrs.
Wood were not only handsome and
beautiful but embraced every con
ceit of silverware, linens, and bric
a-brac.
On the evening following, Mr.
and Mrs. Wood left for Tennessee
where they will visit for several days
after which time they will return to
Weldon, Ark., where they will
make their future home, .fust be
fore bidding their friends goodbye,
they were generously showered
with rice, without which no cere
mony is complete.
They are a prominent and well
known people and have the best
wishes of a large circle of friends,
among whom The News desires to
to be included.
NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, lam,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.
