deputy prosecuting* attorney of
Woodruff county last Tuesday
whileattending court at Augusta.
Ben Trice of Cotton Plant and
a agreeable gentleman paid
.the News a very pleasant visit
' the last of last week. He is quite
enthused over the district court
proposition and thinks Cotton
Plant has a cinch on the situation.
It is said that if just before
turning a milk cow to pasture
she is given a teacupful of sugar
she will shun the bitter weed,
and her milk will be sweet. No
one likes bitter milk, and this is
a simple remedy that it is easy
to test.
From Galen Patterson we learn
that John A. Jimerson is now at
Ruston, La., where he is follow
ing the carpenter trade. In
writing to Mr. Patterson he says
he is getting along nicely and re
quests that the Woodruff County
JNews be sent to him.
For the past two weeks the
people in an eastern neighbor
hood have been kept awake by
wild, unearthly cries. It is not
the noise made by a dog or cow,
and is too unearthly to be hu
man. It is believed by the su
perstitious to be a banshee.
Miss Mary Underhill who vis
ited here for the past few weeks
thejjuest of Miss Lizzie Crossett
’'was joined here Tuesday by Miss
Mary Harden also of Conway
and Wednesday the two left for
points in Missouri and Kentucky
where they will visit relatives.
Neill Rutherford returned to
Morelield the last of last week
after spending several weeks vis
iting among us. Mr. Rutherford
is a gentleman of excellent attri
butes and is quite a social favor
ite. He informed us while here
that his trip had been a most
pleasant one.
W. N. Dunehew of the Pump
kin Bend neighborhood is com
pelled to limp around on a crutch
this week due to a very severe
swelling in his foot. The many
friends of Mr. Dunehew trust
that his foot will soon become
heaied and that “Richard will be
himself again.
Clayton Hailey is the inventer
of a new up-to-date and at the
same time economical home-made
rat trap. Just what success he
has made in placing his invention
before the public we don’t know.
It will pay all who would like
to help catch rats to call on Mr.
Hailey and have him to give an
expose of his inventive genius.
Wdl T. Raney who for some
time past has been dealing out
spirits at the Palace saloon here
severed his connection with that
institution the first of the week
and left for his old home at Tu
pelo. Just what Mr. Raney con
templates doing in the future we
don’t know but join his many
friends in wishing him success
in anything he undertakes.
The ever genial Capt. R. H.
Smith can now be found at the
Palace saloon ready to serve the
“fire-eaters” with anything from
a “Rhine stone cocktail” to a
“Klondyke frizzle.” Bob'is a
whole souled, big hearted fellow
who has a keen apprecation of a
good thing and nothing is too
good for his friends. Whenever
he hands you anything over the
bar you may know it is the best.
R. L. Stoker and children left
last Sunday for Brinkley where
they spent a few days visiting
the family of Bob’s brother Al
bert. These joined Bob and fam
ily and together they went by
way of Little Rock to “Sugar
Loaf Springs” about 40 miles
north of Searcy where they will
spend the remainder of the heat
ed term. Bob’s many friends
j here will miss him while he is
: gone.
Wednesday a series of three >
games between Cotton Plant and
Memphis began. Some of our
boys are taking in the games.
Cotton Plant now has a first-class
ball park.
Dr. W. E. Vaughan a prom

fore proceeding home.
R. B. McKnight of Brinkley,
and J. M. Haggard were arraign

while Haggard was charged with
breach of peace for which he was
fined $5.00 and cost. The trou
ble arose over a branding iron.
Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Williams
returned from Searcy and the
Springs Wednesday. They re
port a very pleasant trip al
though they came very near ex
periencing a wreck on the Iron
Mountain on the other side of
Fakes, when the engine ran off
of the track. However the wreck
was a verted and soon the train
went on its way. Crops are re-.
ported in good condition in thaV
section.
Last Tuesday morning it was
the pleasure of the News to have
Miss Mary Katheryne Underhill
of the Conway Democrat, and
Mr. Joseph Crossett pay it a fra
ternal call. Miss Underhill is by
profession a follower of the art
preservative, and if there is any
thing in the world a printer en
joys better than anything else it
is a call from one who thoroughly
understands the trials and vicis
situdes of the art of running a
country paper.
It is quite often the case that
some people are very much dis
appointed when their town and
county paper fails to write up
every thing which happens and
especially social gatherings and
-‘such like,” but they do not stop
to think that the editor can not
draw on his imagination enough
to write a column or two, wheth
er he was there or not. We ad
mit we have a very fine way of
extending our imagination some
time, but not often do we try it
unless some inducements are of
fered.—Ex.
Last Tuesday morning the fol
lowing hunters left for Peach
Orchard Bluff, on a hunting and
fishing trip: P. M. Lemmon, A.
J. Marsh, J. L. Garrett, Ed Gat
lin, “Squirrel” Jones, Marian J,
Johnson, Ben Watson, Tom Ar
nolcj^-^nd Tom Greer. These
.gentlemen represent the lovers
of the sport of our town and will
no doubt have a great time while
gone. All kinds of eatables were
taken along to insure success in
this line. A tent, boat, plenty of
guns, ammunition, fishing tackle,
constitutes the paraphernalia of
the company. They will oe gone
until the end of the week and
when they return will most like
ly be loaded down with fish-sto
ries galore.

Hailey & Atkinson.
Several of our young folks
went to Cotton Plant today to
M”ke in the Cotton Plant vs.
Memphis ball game.
Our correspondents are a little
shy this week due no doubt to
court. We trust all will again
send in their news items for the
next issue.
Mr. Hardy the mill-man is
quite ill this week due to blood
poisoning. While scraping on a
rusty piece of machinery at the
McCrory Cotton Company gin
last week, his hand slipped and
was scratched. Blood poison
immediately set in. He is suffer
ing very much with it and it is
feared that he may lose his hand.
THE CAMPING PAKTY.
The Taylor bay crowd return
ed home last Friday afternoon
just in time to escape a drench
ing.
About 25 McCroryites and sev
eral from Augusta were the ones
to enjoy the trip. From those
who attended we learn that a
most pleasant time was spent by
the entire crowd. Ghost stories
and other hair-stirring tales
were'told by the orators who
w£re there, and to add to the
wierd scene a ghost or supposed
to be ghost was seen slowly
wending its way down the river,
seemingly gliding over the water
and keeping watch over the hap
py party. The girls were fright
ened at the apparition and could
not get up the courage to ask the
boys what the thing was until it
has passed around the bend in
the river. They were then in
formed that it was the headlight
or torch on the prow of a boat
behind which sat a party of gig
gers who were looking after the
fishing industry. The girls tell
some bad tales on the mean boys
of how they filled the night air
with unearthly yells and other
things, keeping the company
awake almost the entire time.
Hugh Shearer did the ghost act,
and being by the very nature of
things a two-for-five clown, we
will bet he performed the “ban
co-ghost” act to a fare-you-well.
Eatables, well if we were to enu
merate all the difierent delicacies
th£t the party had at the camp it
would fill the entire paper and
we will just say they had every
thing that the most aesthetic and
fastidious epicurean could desire.
Among those to attend were:
Misses Lizzie Angus, Mary An
gus, Mary Uuderhill, Mary Mc
Crory, Ruth Shearer, Ellen At
kinson, Fannie Jones, Annabelle
Riggs, Oma Scales, Nina Riggs,
Mrs. Liza Wortham, Fannie
Scales and Fletcher Lewis.
Messrs. Bruce Keating, Jo
