The business portion of our sis

stores of Jose Metcalf, S. M. Jones
& Taylor, John Street, Comer &
Warren, G. N. Nolly and N. M.

of the fire upon the clouds could
be seen very plainly at MeCrorv
and it is reported that some of our
citizens saw the flames as they
leaped into the air. 'the distance
from our city and Tupelo is about
sixteen miles.

OBITUARY.
The sad news was received in
our city Sunday, of the death of
Marion McNeese at his home in
Newport. Mr. McNeese was born
in DeSoto county, Miss. He
moved to this state about 1870 and
was married to Miss Mary Sim
mons about the year of 1883. He
was a resident of McCrory several
years until 1900, when he moved
to Newport where he died Sunday,
March, 3. He was one of Mc
Crory’s best citizens, a good
Christian man, always ready to do
anything for his fellow-man. His
mortal remains were laid to rest
at the Odd Fellows’ cemetery near
DeView, last Monday.
A heartbroken wife, and three
sons, Tom, Marvin and Minor,
are left to mourn his death. The
deceased’s wife is a sister to Mrs.
W. E. .Jelks and Miss Ricie Sim
mons of this city.
Without an extension of the pres
ent. session of the legislature,
same will end Thursday, March,
14. It is supposed, however, that
Represenative Jackson will intro
duce a resolution to extend the
session sixty days. If this exten
sion is made the present legisla
ture will be in session longer con
tinuosly than any previous legis
lature body in the history of the
state.
Later : An extension of 6(1 days
has been made. May, 15 being the
limit.

True religion sweetens, strength
ens, devotes and enobles home life.
It pushes back the horizon of ex
istence and makes one to live in a
larger world.
A bill is soon to be introduced
in the Tennessee legislature seek
ing to regulature the charges made
by telephone companies operating
in Tennessee. Under the plan
proposed by bill outlined, charges
will be regulated according to the
number of subscribers to an ex
change. The larger the exchange
the lower the minimum rate.
We fellows over here in Ark
ansas don’t object so very much to
the price, its the service.
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
She can come to a decision with
out the slightest trouble of reason
ing on it; and no same man can
do that.
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate, and no two
men can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in
her dress while he is getting one
under his thumbnail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in
half a dozen tight dresses and
skirts, while a man will fret and
fume and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each other’s head before they had
exchanged ten words.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-five years after
the marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and after
wards tell you what every woman
had on, and in some rare instances
can give you some faint idea what
the text was.
She can walk half the night with
a colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing the desire of mur
dering the infant.
She can—but what’s the use? A
woman can do anything or every
thing and do it well.
She can do more in a minute
than a man can do in an hour and
do it better.
She can drive a man crazy for
twenty-four hours and then bring
him to a paradise in two seconds
by simply tickling him under the
chin, and there does not live that
mortal son of Adam’s misery who
can do it.

Oue of the best resolutions we
have heard of anybody making is
this: Not to speak of mistakes
that make no difference; how often
the harmony of a home is destroy
ed by the persistant member of
the household who will argue half
an hour over the point wnether
Aunt Jane came on Tuesday or on
Wednesday. We have listened to
heated-disputes that cast an ugly
shadow over the whole meal, or
spoiled an evening’s enjoyment,
upon subjects that are of no more
importance than the state of last
week’s weather.
If men would remember that a
woman can’t always be smilin„
who has to cook dinner, answer
the door bell half a dozen times
and get rid of a neighbor who has
dropped in, attend to a sick baby
tie op the cut finger of a two year
old, gather up the playthings' 0f
a four year old, tie up the feet, of a
six year old on skates and get an
eight year old ready for school, to
say nothing of sweeping, cleaning
etc. A woman with all this to
contend with may claim it as a
privilege to look and. feel a- little
tired sometimes, and a word 0f
sympathy would not be too much
to expect from a man who, during
the honeymoon, wouldn’t let her
carry so much as a sunshade.
For a good light.
