THE HOME NEWS
EDITED IN THE INTEREST OF McCRORY AND WOODRUFF COUNTY
VOLUME 1._ McCRORY, ARKANSAS, FRIDAY, JULY, 30, 1915 NUMBER 1
OUR BOW
We present to the people of
McCrory and Woodruff County
this week Volume 1 Number 1
of The Home News which
though small at present, will be
enlarged in the future.
Realizing the need of a home
paper, we have decided to again
enter the journalistic field here,
after having been solicited by a
number of our citizens to “give
us a home paper.”
We are exceedingly thankful
to those who have given us con
tracts for advertising, and, al
though they are somewhat small
in size, they represent business
people who are doing the business
so to say in the commercial world
of McCrory. Had it not been for I
these people, McCrory no doubt
would not have had a paper, and
to them belongs the credit for
such, and we feel sure that others
will be added to our list of regu
lar contracted advertisers in the
near future and fhat those whose
ads appear in this our first issue
will be increased in size.
There no doubt will be quite a
number of news items omitted
this week, but we have gotten
up this issue very hurriedly and
as only a few knew that we
would print a paper this week,
we have not learned of any item
that may fail to appear. We
hope to in all future issues pub
lish ALL the news of McCrory
and surrounding country, and we
will thank any to tell or send any
happenings that will be of
interest.
The price of subscription will
be #1.00 per year, 55 cents for
six months and 30 cents for three
months, and if you are interested
in McCrory having a home paper,
subscribe, and don’t read the
other fellow’s paper. We have
already received several sub
scriptions, the first of whom was
Mr. Ben Storman, R. F. D. No.
1, McCrory, who paid us a dollar
Wednesday. We will positively
