Horrible Encounter
On last Friday afternoon, as
Mrs. John T. O’Fallon and Miss
Nellie Gray were going to town,
the dog, Honey by name, grabb
ed Mr. Toole by his trousers.
Now Mr. Toole can wade around
in slashes among snakes, but
when it comes to the canine tribe
‘ Richard is not himself. ’ He
looked like a Chinaman in dis
tress; seeking a ciub with which
to defend himself, but as noth
ing could be found, (Which is
usually the case under such cir
cumstances.) he made use of his
dinner bucket and with one fell
stroke, he hurled his dinner nail,
dishes and all at Honey in the
distance. Then being without
any instruments of warfare, he
sought for weapons of death. The
most dangerous looking thing he
could find was a club some 15 ft.
long. We see murder in his eyes
and distinction awaits his every
movement. Now to kill the dog,
but he had taken refuge with the
the ladies and of course, “Rich
ard wasdiimself again.”
Memory recalled his dinner
pail and the necessary dishes.
To his chagrin, the bucket and
contents looked as if they had
gone through the last primary
election. The ladies and the dog
went on their way rejoicing be
cause Honey had not been sent to
his eternal bee-gum and Mr.
Toole was well satisfied with the
loss he sustained as he verily be
lieves his future depended on the
sacrifice.
He had no sooner arrived home
than he changed his complacen
cy and decided he must have
come to the wrong conclusion
about the demolishing of said
bucket and dishes. Never mind
Richard, no one will know any
thing about this incident 100
years from now, so fare-you
well.
The Same Old Story
J. A. Kellyrelatesanexperience
similar to that which has hap
pened in almost every neighbor
hood in the United States and
has been told and re told by thou
sands of others. Says: “Last sum
mer I had an attack of dysentery
and purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, which I used ac
cording to directions and with
entirely satisfactory results.
The trouble was controlled much
quicker than former attacks
when I used other remedies.”
Mr.Kelly is a well known citizen
of Henderson, N. C. For sale by

Editor News:
In last week’s News
under “Augusta” is an item pass
ed without comment, seemingly
not worthy the customary notice
of “The first Cotton bloom”or
“biggest water-mellon” “The se
cond largest mortgage ever re
corded in Woodruff county, was
put on record Saturday. It was
made by the St. Louis Southwes
tern R. R. co. and was for 25
million dollars”
How many voters in Woodruff
county, have given that item a
passing thought?
Who of its readers, under
stands that it in any way con
cerns him?
The number, I presume could
be counted on the fingers of one
hand.
This is a better first mortgage
on Woodruff county interests than
any individual in the county
could give.
Why the average voter will
ask, did not the Cotton Belt
mortgage its own property? No
it mortgaged its future and pros
pective business along its line.
The company is already capita
lized at many times the amount
necessary to duplicate its road
bed, rolling stock and better
ments. Developing Arkansas
will however pay greater tribute
than that being exacted now.
This tribute will pay interest on
a greater debt, and to provide!for
it, the people of Missouri, Ark
ansas and Texas have been bond
ed to the tune of 25,000,000.00.
What are the people to get out of
it? Nothing. WThat will the com
pany get out of it? There are cer
tain small roads and other pro
perties the Gould people wish.
We have placed them in control
of our highways over which we
must go to mill and market, plac
ed in their hands the taxing pow
er. What more natural than that
..r
We buy and sell horses. Careful
drivers - After a short rest, we have again started
W, 1 VCI £>• a ilvery stable and we invite our old friends
to come and see us on Main street west of Shearer’s Store
HcCrory, .%..%.%.. Ak
they proceed to make an assess
ment on us and procure these
properties? Are we represented
in any way? I thought Ameri
cans were opposed to taxation
without representation? The
Democrats are opposed to Trusts
and monopolies are they not?
And this is soil where nothing
but a Democrat can grow? And
we have four stalwart Democrat
papers in the county and not one
with courage or knowledge
enough to raise the warning cry
against a thing like this. Much
as the court house job was de
nounced it is a bagatelle in com
parison. Our court house debt
carrbe paid off and be behind ns.
A thing like this will be perpet
ual with the certainty of being
duplicated as many times as the
increasing productive power of
our peopie will warrant tribute
to pay interest. If we were real
ly Democrats, we would not pe r
mit such things to be.
Yours,
Wm. Penrose.
The wise man from the east
has spoken. Let us sing the
*' Doxology” and be dismissed!
Wait a moment and see what the
‘'four stalwart Democrat papers
without courage or knowledge
enough” have to say. In the first
place we humbly take off our
hat as a token of respect to the
gray-haired veteran of Meredith.
Now’, banishing from view all
things, we courageless ignorant
editors of Woodruff county, come
to thee, Oh Solon! to learn of this
great calamity. You say the peo
ple of Missouri, Arkansas and
Texas are bonded to the tune of
twenty-five million and yet we
noticed not a single paper from
anyone of these states making a
big to-do about it, not even a pop
ulite paper. But we little editors
of local papers haven’t the cour
age or are too ignorant to discuss
it. You seem to have forgotten
the last campaign.
. What is a mortgage? It is a
pledge given to secure a debt.

McCror.V).Arkansas.
There are two kinds of mortgag
es or pledges; one is a mortgage
on real-estate, the other on perso
nal property. There must be
something in evidence before it
can be lawfully mortgaged. A
mortgage on other peoples’pro
party can in wise effect me.
Because the road is capitalized
too much does not interfere with
a legitamate mortgage.
We editors may be ignorant etc.
but we don’t have to travel east
to be enlightened.

The Boss Worm Medicine
H. P. Kumpe, Druggist Leigh

tomers had a child, which was
sick, and threw up all food, could
retain nothing on its stomach. He
bougt one bottle of White’s
cream Vermifuge, and it brought
up 119 worms from the child.
Its the boss worm medicine in
the woald.” White’s cream Ver
mifuge is also the children’s tonic,
it improves their digestion and
assimilation of food, strenghtens
their nervous system and restores
them to heatlth’ vigor and elasti
