FRO VERBS.
Like sheep that are leaderlcss
are many women come together
tor much talk.
Speak not ill of any woman; if
& woman be not righteous, wjiat
she is speaks for itself.
A beautiful woman knows not
her charms, therefore is she
beautiful; more so than the
colors of the sea.
G ive heed to the voice of an old
woman; sorrow b?s given her
wisdom.
A woman desirous of being
seen by men is not trustworthy;
fear the glance from her eye.
A woman who mistakes, her
place can never return to where
she first was; the path has been
covered up from her eyes.
Gods honor her whe thinketh
long before opening her lips,
pearls come frem her mouth.
A haughty woman stumbles,
for she cannot see what may be
in her way.
A vain woman is to be feared
for she will sacrifice all for her
pride.
Respect always a silent wom
an; great is the wisdom of a
woman that hcldeth her tongue.
COUNCIL MEETING.
Last Monday night the town
council of McCrory met at the
office of the mayor and among
other business appointed the
followiug as members of the
board of health: Dr. McCain,
Dr. Hargis, C. B. Cook, P. M.
Lemon and Mayor B. T. Raney.
It is hoped that this board of
health will soon have the small
pox under control. The patients
who now liave it are ail getting
along nicely.
?HE SEARCH FOR A MAN.
Napoleon said, “I have two
hundred millions in my coffers,
but I would give them all for
Marshal Ney,” Napoleon want
ed a man when he said that. The
great cry, since the world began, :
is, “Give us a man.” i
The scarcest thing in the
world is a man,—a man who can
accomplish something, a man of
fo'ice, a mau with concentrated
energy, a man who has a definite
purpose and knows how to fling
his life out to it with all the
weight of his being. Such a man
is needed in every calling.
This century calls loudly for
man of broad and liberal culture.
This is a very practical age;
theories and theorists are not in
demand. The cry is ever for a
man who can produce results, a
man possessing tact, practical
ability, and executive force.
The world wants men who are
well balanced, and who are not
cursed with some inherent de
fect or moral weakness which
cripples their usefulness and
neutralizes all their power. While
specialists are in demand, there
is little hope for men who are
one-sided in their development,
and who have sent all the ener
gies of their being into one nar
row twig, so that all other
branches of their lives have with
ered a,nd died. Men who do not
take half views of things—men
of completeness, and of large
comprehensive ability,—are
needed everywhere.
The world wants men of com
mon sense,—those who will not
let a college education spoil them
for a practical everyday life. It
wants men who are educated all
over, whose hands are deft,
whose eyes are alert and micro
scopic, and whose brains are
keen and well developed.—Suc
cess.

NEW RAILROAD.
News now comes from inter
ested parties that a railroad from
DesArc to Heber via Bald Knob
is a strong probability, and if the
road is built, a mill with a capa
city of working one hundred
hands will be built at this place.
We had a hint of this several days
ago, but was waiting for a fuller
development of the scheme be
fore saying anything about it.
There is considerable probability
that it will work out all right, at
least for Bald Knob.—Herald.
ARKANSAS AT THE WORLD’S PAIR.
The Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition, at St. Louis, will be
adorned with a large red oak tree
from the wildest section of Ark
ansas. The tree is one hundred
and sixty feet high, and twelve
feet in diameter at the brse. A
double railway will be built from
the tree to the river, where it
will be floated, and towed to St.
Louis. This will occupy six
months. The tree will be dug
up by the roots, and none of its
branches will be trimmed, so
that it will appear on exhibition
just a3 it now stands in the
woods.

PUTTING A PREMIUM ON LYlnG’
There is a wholesome story a
bout the New England manufact
urer, Albert Pope, who holds
truth to be the crown of manly
virtues. His son, when at college
was involved in mischief, togeth
er with a number of his class
mates. when found out, and they
were brought before the faculty,
all the hoys denied persoual
knowledge of the affair until the
questions were put to young Pope
who confessed to everything, and
was promptly expelleb. When
Mr. Pope sought an interview
with the faculty, he rebuked!
their method souudly. “I am
glad to remove my son from your
influence,” he said. “He has
been taught to speak the truth ’
Some day, if I am spared, I hope
to endow an educational institu
tion; but it will not be this one,
where you expel the boy who
speaks the truth, and retain those
who tell falsehoods, thus plac
ing a premium on lying’”
THE PUNISHMENT OP INDOLENCE.
!
One of the saddest sights in
the world is that of a soul which
has been starved by indolence, j
an undeveloped, stunted man, j
who has never sufficiently exert-1
ed himself to unfold his godlike

power, to cultivate his finer sen
timents and faculties.
It is not necessary for a man
to be actively bad, in order to
make a failure of life; simple in
action will accomplish it. Nature
has everywhere written her pro
test against idleness; everything
which ceases to struggle, which
remains inactive, i-apidly deteri
orates. It is the struggle toward
an ideal, the constant effort to
get higher and further, which
develops manhood and character.
—Success.
One of our very able exchanges
says: “Every newspaper treas
urers up in its memory the
names of its friends and like
wise those of its enemies. It
seldom overlooks an opportunity
to assist the former, but it never
goes out of its way to help the
latter. Human nature is pretty
much the same elsewhere. Peo
ple who show the newspaper
man kindness never makes a bet
ter investment or one that pays a
hundred fold sooner or later. As
it has been truly said, there
comes a time in the life of every
man when he needs his home pa
per and needs it badly,
THE INCOMPETENTS.
AU occupations and avenues of
endeavor are overcrowded to the
indolent, the nerveless and the
incompetent. There is no room
anywhere for a lazy man without
sufficient ambition to enable him
to rise. The world is looking for
the man who can produce results,
the leader, the aggressive man,
and the mau who has a purpose.
No field is overcrowded for the
original man who can think for
himself and is not afraid of hard
work. The young men who are
crying that there is no chance,
that the trusts have ruined their
opportunities, would not succeed
anywhere.
The cry of overcrowded posi
tions is a bugbear only to the
weak and incompotent. Those
who feel the power within them
to make their place in the -world.
Always be busy for it is the busy
man that the commercial world
is seeking. It has no more use
far an idle man than a bee-hive
has for a drone. Never give (
“no chance” as an excuse for'
inaction.
Old People Have Their Troubles.
Mr. Francis Little of Benton
Harbor, Mich., is over eighty
years of age. Since 1865 he has
been troubled more or less with
indigestion and constipation and
has tried almost everything in
use for those ailments. Last Au
gust he began using Chamber
lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets
and was soon feeling much bet
ter. In a recent letter he says,
‘ I have used three boxes of the
Tablets and now think I am
well.” These Tablets improve
the appetite and invigorate the
stomach, liver and bowels. For
sale by Dr. J. B. Neal of McCro
ry and A. S. Thompson of De
View.
Among those to attend the
dance Thursday night were the
following: Misses Hope and Allie
Beard of Howell and their friend
Miss Kinchlou of Conway, and
the Misses Daisy Chaney and
Bailey of Cotton Plant.
Mr, Gus Reard of Newport has

A Typical South African Store.
0. R. Larson, of Bay Villa,
Sundays River, Cape Colony,
conducts a store typical of South
Africa, at which can be purchas
ed anything from the proverbial
“needle to an anchor.” This
store is situated in a valley nine
miles from the nearest railway
station and about twenty-five
miles from the nearest town.
Mr. Larson says: “I am favored
with the custom of farmers with
in a radius of thirty miles, to
many of whom I have supplied
Chamberlain’s remedies. All
testify to their value in a house
hold where a doctor’s advice is
almost out of the question. With
in one mile of my store the pop
ulation is perhaps sixty. Of
these, within the past twelve
months, no less than fourteen
have been absolutely cured by
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
This must surely be a record.”
