With this issue of the Free
Press our brother Gus W. has
made another home run, while
Messrs. E. L. Billingslea and
Eugene Cogbill are now at the
bats. The latter gentlemen have
purchased the plant and good
will of the paper and will run it
in the future as before—demo
cratic in politics. Here’s suc
cess to the new firm and may
they prosper.
Hon. (?) Jamesky Jones, who
once upon a time paid the freight
but who is now collecting all the
revenue insight and God alone
knows how much there is in sight
for such men as Judas, Jones,
Shyrass, and McLauren, has left
the old ship of state and has
“ jined” Markus, Pierpont & Co.
which now reads Markus, James
ky, Pierpont & Co. of New York
and New Jersey, dealers in gov
ernment bonds, special legisla
tion and human liberties. How dc
we know he joined this firm!
Simply by voting with the cohorts
of republicanism and keeping
shy of democracy’s phalanx. It is
no more than we expected how
ever, a man who has been a citi
sen of Washington. D. C. soms
20 years and has x-eared a family
thei-e and hasoveri million dollars
worth of stock behind padlocks
in New Jersey could not be ex
pected to vote against his inter
ests.
From The FREE PRESS.
Rev. J . H. Barrentine, of De
View, was in town the first of the
week.
Atty. J. P. Summers spent the
latter part of last week in Little
Rock on legal business.
We learn that a new saw mill is
soon t;|be erected up the river
about a mile by one Goodrich.
H. M. Woods made a trip
to Mariana since our last issue,
returning home Sunday night.
Miss Annie Sue Wilder, of
McOrory, visited in our city the
past week, the guest of her friend
Miss Maud Morris. We receiv
ed a vei-y pleasant visit from these
young ladies last Saturday.

Mrs. Grigsby visited Grays
last Tuesday.
Mr. Musgrove of Grays, at
tended preaching at Beards last
Monday night.
Will Henry of Boon county is
very sick at the home of his sis
ter, Mrs. Woodard.
Tobe Holder and Horace Gow
an of Grays, was in our vicinity
last Monday bird hunting.
G. Starks and family spent
last Tuesday on Cheatham lake
fishing. They report a good
time.
A good rain on last Saturday
and again Sunday, which was
greatly needed, will make the
corn crop a bumper.
It is surprising what a little
difference there is between the
would-be saint and the sc-called
sinner. Did you ever think
about it?
The Baptist “big gun” was
fired six times last week down at
Beards, but fortunately for the
Methodists and Campbellites,
those armor-piercing projectiles
fell short, and now the next
thing on the program is a “de
bate.” Wonder how many souls
this discourse will save.

Several people from Grays,
McCrory, Wiville and DeVievs
were attending services here
Sunday.

er Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Tucaer, Homer Veasey
and Leonard Hatcher were all on
the sick list the past wetfk.
J. W. Royner and family visit
ed at Mr. Long’s near DeView,
the latter part of last week.
Quite a number of our people
have been attending a series of
meetings conducted by a Rev.
Hicks at the Beard’s church the
past week.
We had a good rain the last of
last week, which was very much
needed and gladly received.
Corn would now make very well
if we didn't get any more rain,
and cotton is growing very fast.
Our school commenced Mon
day morning with sixty pupils.
Prof. J. M. Lovejoy is principal,
Prof. E. W. Cheney assistant.
We think we will have a good
school and quite a large attend
ance.
Sunday was “children’s day,”
and we had a large and very well
behaved congregation, though
the crowd was not as large as
was expected, on account of rain.
There was dinner enough on the
ground to have fed twice the
number present, and everybody
seemed to be having a pleasant
time. We hope they did at least.
Come again, visitors.
Our DeView correspondent
seems to imagine that somebody
has been “kicking” because they
didn’t have dinner on the ground.
Now they might know that this
was untrue, for nobody ever
thought that they would. They
I hardly ever make such mistakes.
As for carrying dinner, of course
we will if we ever go, for we “nev
er go home hungry.” “The
Bayou” is indeed a bad place,
but we generally have something
to eat when our friends come.
And there are some places we
know that are worse than “The
Bayou” and they are not a thou
sand miles from here either.
Wake up and look around you.

While we do not like the idea
of asking for subscriptions to
this paper yet we feel that some
times people overlook this, and
it is to remind you of this fact
that we refer to this matter. If
you don’t know how you stand we
can soon tell you. Quite a num
ber of our readers are behind
on their subscriptions and we
are confident it is due only to an
oversight on your part.
