Mrs. S. E. Turner
Another loss to McCrory was
sustained when Mrs. Sarah Eliz

died at her home in this city
Monday, July, 3, 1916.
Deceased was born Dec. 31,
1844, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. McCollum of Waverly,
Tenn. At the age of 21 she
married Mr. John David Turner
and leaves two sons, two
daughters, two sisters and a
brother to mourn her loss.
Mrs. Turner joined the Bap
tist Church some 28 years ago
and has been a resident of this
city the past six years. The
funeral services were conducted
by Rev. S. M. Yancey, the re
mains being laid to rest in the
cemetery at Fakes Chapel.

and H. P. Riggs, Jr., Pete James
and J. W. Mullens and wife at
tended the celebration in Little
Rock the 4th.
Dr. R. N. Smith, county health
officer of Augusta was here today
and subscribed for The Home
News. He will have something
to say to the people of Woodruff
County in our next week’s issue
regarding the disposition of dead
animals.
Quite a number of our people
went to Cotton Plant the 4th
where they saw the Augusta
Base Ball Team meet defeat in
both games of a double header
at the hands of the Cotton Plant
team, The first game resulted
in a score of 3 to 2 and the latter
1 to 0.
Atty. E. M. Carl-Lee of Au
gusta was here this week and
gave us a copy of his law which
will be submitted to the voters
at the general election and which
proposes to dissolve all corpora
tions in this county. We will
publish the bill in our next
week’s issue.
Married: Mr. Wesley Eubanks, j
28, of Hickory Ridge, and Miss
Mary Jones, 25, of DeView,
Thursday, July, 6, 1916, at 5:30
p. m., Rev. H. T. Raney officiat
ing. Neither of the contracting
parties said the usual “Yes” in
answer to the wedding vows but
instead signified their agreement
to the same with a kindly bow.
The bride and groom are deaf
mutes.
CAT AND CHICKENS FRIENDLY
Singular Affection Existing Between
Creatures Usually Thought to Be
More or Less Antagonistic.
A quaint friendship among our
dumb animals is cited by the Greene
County Journal, which reports that
a bright kitten now rapidly ap
proaching the first bloom of her
young cathood, having lost every
known relative through an unfor
tunate series of illness and accidents,
has chosen to cast her lot with the
fine chickens owned and operated by
her kind master, M. T. McCreight,
the prominent pet stock fancier of
J amestown.
All the livelong day the strange
friends run and play together, quite
en rapport, as we say in Ohio, and in
spite of cameraderie which is very
touching to the observer who realizes
the marked differences in their nat
ural tastes and inclinations and ap
preciates the mutual sacrifices which
a cat and a chicken must make in or
der to appear keenly interested in
each other’s pursuits.
At night our young cat roosts with
her companions of the day, with a
delicate consideration of the customs
of those among whom she finds her
self and a generous determination
that when one is in Rome one must
do as the Romans do’ perching cross
wise, as a cat naturally would had
she no one’s feelings save her own to
consider.—Ohio State Journal.
QUITE DIFFERENT.
“The Chinamen are very different
from us. I know one high official
there who, because he did not get a
yellow jacket on him—”
“Well?”
“He felt himself stung.”
YEA, VERILY.
“Half a loaf is better than no
bread,” quoted the moralizer.
“But half the truth is often worse
than a whole lie,” rejoined the de
moralizer.
David Arnof and the editor
were guests of Wynne friends
Sunday.
Pete Barber purchased a Ford
car from Riggs Brothers, Agents,
last Saturday.
Ed Jackson of Little Rock is
spending the week here the
guest of his friend Roger Fakes.

E. L. Hamilton who is a believ

these columns occasionally states
that the advertisement which he
placed in The Home News a few

cream freezers has certainly
brought results. He has sold
two shipments in the past 30
days and now has the third order
coming. Mr. Hamilton handles
the celebrated 0. K. Freezer
j which is one of the best on the
