riCCRORY SCHOOL OPENS.
The McCrory public school will
open Monday Sept., 17th, and the
teachers will be pleased to meet as
many of the patrons there as pos
sible. The prospects for a success
ful year’s work are good from the
standpoint of teachers and equip
ment. The board has spared
neither pains nor money in their
attempt to give to the people of the
district the best school possible.
They began early and have been
untiring in their efforts to select a
competent faculty, and they have
secured as good teaching talent as
money will procure. The princi
pal, is a university man and comes
with the highest recommendations
from the best school men in the
state, both as to scholarship and
experience.
The tenth grade will be intro
duced this year, whereby pupils
can be better educated than here
tofore and those who decide to
enter some college or university
will be better prepared for same.
The teachers for the different
grades are as follows: Miss Clem
entine Brewer, primary, 2nd and
3rd, grades; Mrs. W. G. Dilliard,
intermediate, 4th, 5th, and 6th
grades; Mr. Lonnie L. Campbell,
of Newport, 7th, 8th, 9th, and
10th, grades.
The board has generously pro
vided a complete and up-to-date
building and grounds, and the
fact is, the members of the board
have shown themselves not only
willing but anxious to do every
thing in their power, in co-opera
tion with the people to make the
school the best possible, and they
would do more, if they had the
money.
McCrory’s educational oppor
tunities are becoming better every
year. School will be taught in the
large brick building, a big im
provement to what we have had
heretofore, and certainly every boy
and girl in McCrory or Woodruff
County, ought to avail themselves
of the educational advantages offer
ed. Parents should weigh the
matter well before they allow their
children to remain out of school.
The child has but one life to live,
and it means a great deal to him
whether he is educated or not.
Let every pupil enroll the first
day, and then be punctual and reg
ular in attendance, and at the close
of the year, th;e results will be
gratifying to both pupil and pa
tron. Let us have the best school
in the history of the town.

Many young men are adopting the suggestion as a money
saving scheme. Better investigate.
These suits are the latest things and are Ihoroughly com
fortable during the hot season. Best bargain you can find.

If concrete cannot be furnished
for a walk from the Methodist
church to the new school building,
we would suggest a cypress plank
walk be built and if cypress can not
be had, use some other kind of
wood. School will begin Monday
and a new walk should be laid im
mediately for the accomodation of
the school.

NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
an<T you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col- :
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash j
business, which will be an advant- :
age to my customers as well as my- I
self. I ask the continuance of i
your patronage as well as to share j
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

Volo
If you have a machine it may have been fairly
satisfactory in the past, but when you see the Volo
and the kind of work it does you will be satisfied
with nothing else. The very finest material has been
used throughout its entire construction. Every adjust
ment is perfect and it has roller-bearings which
make it noiseless and light running, fast sewing and
capable of doing either the most delicate or heaviest
work in the most satisfactory manner. Its arm is
higher than that on any other family sewing
machine in the world. This enables one to easily
sew quilts and goods of considerable bulk. Call and
examine our new stock. We shall be glad to explain
every point in detail.
Price, $40. Every Volo fully eruaranteed.
