The Van Buren Press seems
to think somebody is t rying to
sidetrack Gov. Davis for re elec
tion “on a wild-goose chase for
the United States Senatorship. ”
It may be a “wild-goose chase”
for him to run against Senator
Jones, but the Press need have
no fear of Gov. Davis ever being
sidetracked if he concludes to
run.—Fayetteville Sentinel.
The city council, with all mem
bers present and. Mayor J. H.
Dale presiding met in regular
session last Monday night and
proceeded at once to get down to
business. The regular routine
business was disposed of and the
matter of paving the streets
with stone discussed. After
considerable discussion of the
subject, a measure was passed
providing for the paving of a
block as an experiment. Mayor
Dale is the promoter of the pro
ject and is a very enthusiastic
worker. His plan is a very
economical one, and we believe, it
will prove a howling success.
Good streets is one of the most
important matters ro any town,
and with our streets graded and
paved we will surpass any town
in the state for beauty, say noth
ing of the actual benefits to be
derived therefrom. Already
some splendid work of grading
is being done in different parts
of town which is beginning to
improve the appearance of
things.—Augusta Free Press.

Augusta, on account of the great
ness of the baseball game be
tween the Augusta and McCrory

to play a decent game, or else ac
cept no challenges.
A large number of young
ladies came over from McCrory

Free Press.
Among the new enterprises
recently launched in McCrory
for public favor and support is
the livery and feed stable being
erected on Main back of John
Shearer's store by W. H. Jimer
son and Gale Patterson. These
gentlemen are the owners and
promoters of the new stable and
are both too well known to the
citizens of the county to need
any eulogy at our hands. Mr.
Jimerson has been before the
people for some eight or ten
years past in the tombstone agen
cy business and his reputation
as a hustler and businessman
is well established. Gale Patter
son is right there when it comes
to running a livery barn. He
was raised “in the saddle” and
no one understands better the
care of horses than he. For the
past two or three years he has
been almost continually associat
ed with the livery barns of our
town and is a recognized number
one liveryman. We bespeak
success for the new firm in their
new venture. We are informed
that they will be ready to serve
the public with new horses and
rigs this coming Sunday.
