VOLUME 1.
McCRORY, ARKANSAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1916
NUMBER 28
Andrews for Prosecuting Atty.
In our announcement column
this week will be found the au
thorized announcement of Hon.
p. R. Andrews of Helena, as a
candidate for the office of prose
cuting attorney of this, the First
Judicial Circuit composed of
Woodruff, White, St. Francis,
Lee and Phillips counties.
The First Judicial District has
no better known citizen than the
subject of this sketch who is one
of the ablest and most sucessful
members of the Arkansas Bar
and who is a most public-spirited
and progressive citizen. Mr. An
drews was prosecuting attorney
of this district for eight years
and resigned that position to
make the race for attorney gen
eral of Arkansas in 1908, and,
although he’was not successful
in that race, the result was so
close that it was several weeks
before it was known who had
won the office.
Mr. Andrews is now a candidate
for prosecuting attorney of this
circuit and owing to his popu
larity and his wide reputation as
an attorney of unusual ability
his many friends are confident
that he will undoubtedly be re
turned to the office which he
previously held for six years and
in which he made an enviable
record as the stated attorney.
Mr. Andrews was born in
Lonoke County, Arkansas, Oct.
22. 1867, and is the son of T J.
Andrews. He began the study
of law when quite young and
was licensed to practice when he
was 21 years old, and has since
continued the practice of his
profession, with increasing suc
cess and honor. He began the
practice of law in the town of
McCrory 25 years ago and he
holds a kindly feeling for the
people of this town for the many
courtesies and favors extended
while a citizen here. He moved
from here to Augusta where he
resided until November 1908
when he moved to Helena where
he has since resided.
For six and one-half years he
was attorney for the Iron Moun
tain Railroad Company, but re
signed that important position
last July to make the race for
prosecuting attorney. We re
spectfully submit his claims to
the voters and would ask that
you carefully consider his can
didacy before casting your ballot
for one to fill this important
office.
John Johnson returned last
week from parts unknown and
is the guest of homefolk.

ruff County’s most successful
business men. The bride served

Dogs Are Now “Hoboing”
Station Agent R. C. Thompson
is the possessor of a small dog
that hoboed his way from Mem
phis to this city on freight
train No. 253 last week.
Conductor Saulters stated
to Mr. Thompson that the dog
was heard barking around the
train in the yards at Memphis
and also at Bridge Junction.
When the train stopped here to
get a car of cattle the crew was
attracted by the barking of a
dog wmcn sounaea iiKe rne one
they had heard at Memphis and
Bridge Junction, whereupon they
began a search to locate the ca
nine noise. The little “hobo”
was finally located beneath a big
box car and mounted upon the
heavy trucks.
If John Hall of the Salem Sun
hears of this dog, we won’t ex
pect anything else but to hear of
him blaming the Democratic ad
ministration for this unusual
happening.
J. R. Taylor of R. F. D. No. 1,

chickens and has just received
from Searcy a pair of fine cocke

Methodist Church News
Last Sunday afternoon we had
our first quarterly conference
with a good congregation present.
The building committees for
the building of our church here
and at Fakes Chapel were elected
by the conference.
Dr. G. B. Fakes, W. H. Jimer
son, H. D. Swayze, G. G. Mc
Crory and Maynard Wherry were
chosen as building committee for
the McCrory church and W. E.
Jelks, R. E. Holder and Jim Tay
lor were chosen as a committee
to build the church at Fakes
Chapel.
Monday morning the building
committee at McCrory met to
talk over the plans for the build
ing of our church. Dr. Fakes
was elected president; G. G. Mc
Crory, secretary and H. D.
Swayze, treasurer.
Dr. W. F. Evans, our Presiding
Elder met with us and gave us a
profitable talk on the building of
a church.
May we all lend a helping hand
to the erecting of this Temple of
God, so the blessings will not
come to only a few but to all the
people of our town for having
taken part in this great work.
Do you expect it to be your
church, or is it to be the other
man or woman’s church? If you
fail to lend a helping hand in the
building of this church, what
claim will you have on it? What
blessing should you expect from
it? What right should you ex
pect a blessing from God’s house
if you will not help to build it?
Let us work and pray and the
victory will be ours, and in a few
months we will l^ave a beautiful
new church in our town that we
will all be proud of, and the Lord
will bless us for having labored
so faithfully for Him.
S. M. Yancey, Pastor.
