All boys are not cut out for
printers or farmers either for
that. We were told recently
that our young friend Carlton
Barclay tried to make a farmer
out of himself but it was not in
him. Carlton had gone to Fake’s
mill about two weeks ago to drive
a saw dust cart and when he ar
rived tncre he found that the mill
was not running. He then heard
that Will Cole wanted a plow-boy
and he thought he ought to be
able to do some good at that.
So he went over and began to
plow, but as we say, it was notin
him and he lasted only for three
long hours. The last seen of
Carlton he was winding his way
in the direction of Me Crory puff
ing severely at the other end of
a cigarette, no doubt thinking to
himself that every-one can’t be
president of the United States
and everyone can’t follow a plow.

rabbits and about eight squirrels

Due to the fact that some have
it circulated in town that Louis
H. Shultz has already left for
New York City he requests us to
state that any rumor that he went
up in a balloon or jumped off the
London Bridge or that he rode
the goat is without foundation.
He can still be found at the
Leader handling the yard stick
as deftly as ever and will remain
there sometime.
W. II. Flynn one of our hustling
townsmen and superintendent of
the H. Alfred Heading Company
at this place made us happy last
Friday by presenting a “round
wheel” for the News. Mr. Flynn
now has working under him
about fifty men who are engaged
in cutting bolts for whiskey and
pork barrel heads some of which
are exported to France. At pres
ent Mr. Flynn has three gangs at
work on the Thompson, Watson
and Burkett timber lands south
of town. It is said the supply of
good timber in this county for
heading purposes is great, being
made mostly of white oak. Mr.
Flynn advises us that he will have
from forty to one hundred men
employed all the time. McCrory
will receive much benefit from
this enterprise.
