One of the sheepiest looking
pieces of humanity, will be little
Bobbie Rogers after the 28th day
of March.
Before Bobbie entered the race
for governor it would have been
wise for him to have somewhat
looked over his past record.
The small and inattentive au
dience which Rogers had Monday
is a fair sample of what Woodruff
county will do for him at the polls
on March 28th.
Wonder if Bobbie thought of his
dear old mother as he worked out
of Texas at the business end of
that gun on the night of December
5, 1892.
The fact that Jeff Davis is sup
porting John S Little for election
to the executive chair should not
be a bar to any one’s way of
voting.
The only way to get a good set
of officers in national, state, dis
trict and township is to look first
and alonfe to the merits and qualifi
cations of every man in the field.

in the most conspicuous position in
the town stands our newly finished
school building—one which ranks
far above those of Jonesboro, Rus
selleville, Wynne, Augusta aud
divers other towns of much greatei
population than McCrory. There
is not another town in the state
with a population not exceeding
McCrory’s that can boast of a
school building such as we possess.
Some few years ago we failed iu
our effort to have the court house
moved to this town from Augusta,
aud after the county having built a
court house in that town the enter
prising citizens of McCrory then
began the agitation for the school
building, and with what eminent
success is best shown by the result.
The ehief starting point of the
movement toward this building
was the circulation of a petition by
Prof. J. I). Wilder in the spring
of 1905, he being at that time
principal. He worked very faith
fully to have this petition signed
and to get a bill through the legis
lature making this a special district
No. 9, in all which work he way
most ably and enthusiastically sup
ported by Mr. E. C. Kramer, then
Says an exchange, “It is scien
tifically assured that baldheaded
men are pjactically immune from
consumption In a recent census
of 5,000 tuberculosis cases, not a
single baldheaded person was
found. This information will un
doubtedly be a relief to many a
good wife who can now realize that
she has done a beneficial act in re
lieving her expouse of his coveted
locks.” But what about the un
married mau?
In his speech here Monday, Mr.
, Rogers accused the Argent a News
| and Monte Ne Herald of publish
ing lies and articles defaming his
character. What we want to know
is, will Mr. Rogers go before a
notai'y public and make an affidavit
that any of the so-called false
1 hoods are not erroneous?

having succeeded iu this, Mr. Wil
der then introduced the school
building proposition,and was large
ly instrumental in the fruition
of his i teas.
The building is located four
blocks from the Missouri Pacific
depot, it occupying, with the recre
ation grounds, an entire block, be
ing bounded by Third and Fourth,
Seaman and Jackson streets. The
site was donated jointly by Major
C. W. McCrory and the incorpor
ated town of McCrory, the former
giving one half the block in his
late addition to the town, and the
town authorities came nobly to the
front and purchased the other half
and donated it to the school dis
trict. The officers of ihe town at
this time were: H. T. Raney,
mayor; E. C. Kramer, recorder;
E. L. Hamilton, L. M. Pettit, J.
II. Crossett, E. T. Wherry and A
J. Marsh, aldermen.
The building is .">9 feet. wide un i
69 feet long outsi ie. is two stories
liigb, has four rooms on the ground

long, also a hall 10 feet wide and
69 feet in length, with cloak rooms
and two large stairways situated at

Don’t frown—look pleasant. If
you are suffering fi’oru indiges

Moore, of Atlanta, Ga , says: ‘‘I

better health than for many
years.” Kodol digests what you

The unusual shower which fell
here Tuesday night, proved to be
sufficient for the opening of spring
navigation. Two uew vessels—the
Harvard Rye and Pnritauos Fiuas
—were launched in the navigable
portion of Edmond’s Ave. With
a small investment and a reason

(58 feet long. The recitation room

converted into one room, by the

The walls are of brick and stone
set in red mortar; the roof of slate
and galvanized iron. Contractor
Apple, of Conway, had control
and the contract for the building.
The structure after being complet
ed and furnished will cost some
thing in the neighborhood of
$13,000.00. The building is fin
ished, almost paid for and will be
ready for occupation in such time
as to allow the school to be run for
the full ten months of the year.

Company “G’s” Reception.
Last Friday night was Co. “G’s”
public reception night and the la
dy members of the “30” Military
club treated the boys to the nicest
surprise they had experienced in a
long time. After going through
the different evolutions of the drill
in quite an improved manner, the
boys were ordered to “fall in” to
a very unique little banquet pre
pared by Mrs. C. W. Walker, Mrs.
Lieutenant Walker, Mrs. Hanni
bal Raney and Misses Angus and
Lockhart. A “recall” had to be
sounded to bring the boys back to
business. Never was there a
crowd so appreciative nor so well
pleased.
After supper was over, the reg
ular business was transacted. Five
applications for membership were
acted upon—four were accepted.
The lucky four were sworn in, and
to the music of ‘‘Uncle Sammy”,
their nerve was tested by being
rode over the “ocean waves.”
A ruling was made that the sec
