The best time to enter school is
on the first day of the school year;
the best time to leave is on the last
day of the last term of the school
year. First year pupils, that is,
pupils who are entering school for
the first time after reaching six
years of age, should not enter
after the first month of any term
is past. The interruption and
hindrance to the rest of the pupils
of their grade is more than any
considerate parent ought to de
mand.
The members of the Baptist
church are soliciting subscriptions
for the building of a church in
this city sometime next month.
Are you doing your part towards
the movement? Have you given
liberally to get another church
erected in our city and do you
realize that the more churches and
schools and other similar insti
tutions you have in a town, the
more they will add to the value of
your property? All these are
facts that you should take into
consideration and we feel sure that
the citizenship of McCrory and
vicinity will freely give these peo
ple their liberal support in the
building of a Baptist church in
this city.
It is more fun to see a man read

propriate what copies he can. The
kind hearted man goes around to
the office and pays what he owes.
The successful business man who
advertises regularly and makes
money by it, immediately starts
out to find the editor and the two
walk silently down the street and
the business man takes a “coke”
while the editor orders a cream
and they both enjoy a refreshment
or two, together which makes life
sweeter and peace settles down on
their hearts for moments. Such
is the experience of a mustard seed
that falls on different ground.
The Farmers’ Educational and
Co-Operative Union of America
met in national convention
in Little Rock on Tuesday morn
ing. About 300 delegates, repres
enting every Southern state aud a
number of Northern and Pacific
slope states, were present. The ex.
ecutive committee met Monday and
examined the books of all the
officers. President C. S. Barrett,
of Atwater, Ga., delivered his
annual address shortly after the
convention was called to order
Tuesday morning. The first ses
sion was held at 10 o’clock and
Secretary-Treasurer Ben L. Griffin,
of the Arkansas union, delivered
the address of welcome to the del
egates. The convention will be in
session until Friday, and it is
stated that a number of very im
portant amendments to the consti
tution will be adopted.
We often hear men say in ex
cuse for their ignorance that they
never had “a chance.” Now the
majority of men who have be
come noted, made the chance for
themselves. Where there’s a will
there’s a way, you know, and the
boy who determines to be some
thing and does not lose heart in
the struggle, generally accomplish
es his end. One may have a great
many wise and ambitious thoughts
but if not followed up with perse
verance and industry, he will
never amount to much. A thing
must be wholly done and well
done, if one would have fame and
prosperity. Education is the great
preparation that materially figures
in life’s success, and our school is
making extensive preparation to
give every young man and woman
in the county “a chance in the
race” at a very small outlay.
In a few weeks our schools will
open their doors and bid you come
for all things are ready. The
school is specially prepared to
give you a practical course of train
ing in the shortest possible time.
If your time is limited, special
pains will be taken to enable you
to get the most out of it that will
be of real practical value. The
school is the best equipped of any
graded school in a place of like
size in the state, and there are but
few places of three times its size
that equal it. Our town is pleas
ant, social advantages first class
with moral atmosphere all the
while prevailing. We proffer the
opportunities freely, and it is
yours to accept them with profit.
Make ready and start with the
opening of school. Be always on
time, employ your talents wisely,
and life has an alloted place that
you can acceptably fill with profit.
Subscribe for the News and be
happy.

LITTLE ROCK WELCOMES
THE FARMER’S UNION.
Delegates from many states will
convene in Little Rock today as
representatives of the Farmers’
Educational and Co-Operative
Union of America. This great or
ganization, though young, weilds
an immense power for the weal of
the producers,, and logically, for
the benefit of humanity; the wel
fare of the soiltilllers affecting the
entire populace. The eyes of the
country will be upon the assem
blage at Little Rock, therefore, to
observe the action taken in line
with the purposes of the organiza
tion.
The South sees and feels the
benefits of cohesion among the
farmers. Improvement is every
where in evidence. Regulating
production and controlling the
prices of their products, the farm
ers can conduce to their own best
interests and simultaneously bet
ter conditions generally because of
the far-reaching effects of well-re
quited prosperity on the farms.
There is nothing unjust, nothing
unreasonable, in the concerted ac
tion which yields fair returns to
the farmers.
The Texas division of the Union
has set about to get 15 cents for
cotton, and it is probable that this
will be the minimum price agreed
upon at the national meeting in
Little Rock. No one can show
that it is an exoribitant or unfair
price. Yet no one can doubt that

the producers would fail to reap
benefit of this clearly reasonable
and fair quotation if they were dis
organized and the power of regu
lating prices were exercised wrong
fully by manipulators and specu
lators.—Gazette, September, 3.
’Twas the pleasure of the News
man to meet Hon. J. M. Vineyard,
of Phillips County, while in our
city yesterday, enroute home from
Cotton Plant, where he had been
attending court. Judge Vineyard
is a young attorney of eight or ten
years practice in his profession
and comes highly recommended
from his home town—Helena, as
perfectly capable of filling the
office of Prosecuting Attorney for
this, the First Judicial District,
for which he is a candidate. We
would advise that the Democratic
voters of Woodruff well consider
the above gentleman’s possibilities
before casting their vote in the
election next March.
When the sun shines and the
streets become dusty, you wish it
would rain; when it rains and
the streets become muddy, you
wish the sun would shine. After
you are married you wish you were
single, and if you get a new dress
you wish you had a new hat to
match it; if it is a boy you wish it
was a girl, and if it is a girl you
wish it was a boy—was human na
ture ever satisfied? Guess not,
and glad of it, for then there would
be nothing to “kick” about.
STATE SCHOOL CLOSES
The State Cotton school for
members of the Parmer’s Union
closed at Conway, Saturday night,
after a two months session. W.
T. Wells, of White county, de
livered the farewell address fol
lowed by Geo. W- Donaghey, on
an address on educational farm
ing. His speech was to the point
and well received.
Ben L. Griffin, secretary and
treasurer of the Farmer’s union,
delivered a strong address on co
operation which v^as enjoyed by
all. J. R. Williams, of Ozark, de
livered the closing address, which
was to the point, and reviewed the
work of the cotton school in Ark
ansas the past two months.
E. W. Chaney, of Tip, county
secretary and treasurer, who has
been attending this school arrived
home Sunday, and praises the
school and its work highly.
ARKANSAS STATE FAIR.
The Arkansas State Fair will
open Thursday, October, 3, with a
height of interest that will be con
sistently sustained to the close.
Every day will present features
entirely different from every other
date of the Fair.
The opening day will be Arkan
sas Day. On this date Hot
Springs will shut up shop and go
to Oak Lawn. On that morning
an immense Floral Parade will cir
cle the mile track. The parade
will be headed by the State Fair
Queen of that day in a gorgeous
chariot an d her ladies oi the royal
court in an elaborate float.
Then will come “Old Soldier’s
Day” for both “The Blue and the
Gray,” then Educational and Uni
versity Day with a genuine college
foot ball game, Automobile Day,
then “Live Stock Day” with the
gigantic parade of all the ex
hibition of fine stock at the Fair,
the Horse Show and the Bench
Kennel Show.
One day has been set aside for
the Farmer’s Union and the
Trades’ Unions. Fraternal Day
will be the next date and valuable
prizes will be given for the orders
showing the largest number in
parade and for the parade that is
the most impressive. Then will
be Children’s Day, with a school
holiday to spend at the Fair. The
closing day will be the great Car
nival feature, Saturday, October.
12.
Next Saturday, Sept., 7, will
close the Arkansas State Fail
Queen contest, for which Miss
Ruth Powell, of this city, has so
faithfully and untiringly labored.
Miss Powell has secured several
hundred votes, but we can’t say
that she has a sufficient number to
win the coveted trip to the Vapor
City where she will reign as Queen
of the Fair one day during same
which will be in session from Oct.,
3, to 12. Her railrod fare, hotel
expenses, admission into the Fair
grounds, and all other expenses
will be paid by the Arkansas State
Fair Association.
This will be a high social honor
and we would like very much to
see Miss Powell win out ahead of
her opponents in this the first
congressional district, for the
Queenship, and by a strong effort
upon the part of our citizens, the
honor for the McCrory lady can
be made a certainty, while as it

HUNTER.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Charlie Briunamon made a busi
ness trip to Brinkley.
Bartie Manning, of Kavenden,
Ark., is in Hunter again.
Mr. and Mrs. Hogan made a
flying trip to Brinkley Monday.
Most of our citizens are attend
ing court at Cotton Plant this
week.
Mrs. McCord’s little daughter,
Georgia, is very low at the i>resent
note.
George Hyndes, of Bemis, was
called to Hunter to see sick rela
tives.
Will Branson, who went as far
as Memphis with his wife, return
ed home Wednesday.
Mr. Newbern, a fruit tree agent,
was around seeing the good peo
ple of Hunter, last week.
Miss Mauuie Pancake, the school
teacher, of Pumpkin Bend, came
home on a visit Saturday and Sun
day.
Many of the young people of
Hunter went to the Baptising
down near Brinkley. Sixteen
were baptized.
Thos. Wilson went to Wheatly
to attend the Quarterly Conference
and will go from there to Good
win to visit his son, Charley Wil
son.
The Baptist Ladies Aid gave a
“tackey party” last Saturday
night. John Decker and Miss
Mattie Mattling won the prizes
for being the tackiest. It was en
joyed by all who attended.
The editor who can please every
one is not suited for this earth,
but is entitled to wings. Human
nature is so constituted that some
of our readers would like to have
us feed them on scandal; some
would like to have us tell the un
varnished truth about them, while
others would kill us if we did.
It is a comforting thought to the
editor to know that the Lord Him
self did not please every one
while on earth. We labor hard to
entertain and please our subscrib
ers buu that we should occasional
ly fail is to be expected, but you
will always find us willing to k
forgiven.
