What puzzles the people of Me
Crory is, where and when will the
street committee complete their la
bors.
It is alright to have a nice, fine
brick school house, but it is simply
awful to have to go out of town to
cross Edmond’s avenue.
According to official information
given out by the Cotton Belt rail
road people, recently, Pine Bluff'
will have a $20,000.00 ear factory
with a capacity for turning out 40
cars, per day and giving employ
ment to some 200 men.
Miss Clara Smith, of Wiusted,
Conn., lias invented an auger that
will bore a square hole. Carpen
ters say there is a fortune in it for
her.
If we were going to write a po
litical obitnray in advance we
would begiu on Bob Rogers. And
in the wind up, would place him
in a place, somewhat of the nature
of the last general assembly.
That’s awful when you think of it..
Not long ago we heard the opin
ions of two individuals as to what
they would do, were they million
aires, one this aud the other that.
But, just what we would do isuot,
has not aud will never be known
until we reach that very important
point.
The Newspaper
Editors Bow.
Lives of editors reminds us,
Honest toil stands little ehauce,
The more we work we leave be
hind ns
Bigger patches in our pants.
On our trousers once so stylish
Now are stripes of varied hue,
All because the world is tarry
And don’t pay us what is due.
Then let them be up and doing,
Send your mite, however small,
Or when the winds of winter hit us,
We shall have no pants at all.
Notice.

electors of the town of McCrory
