One more week and our school
opens.
And we had a fine rain the lat
ter part of last week.
Earl Crail of Fakes was in
M cCrory last Monday.
A. J. Baswell, of Howell was
in McCrory last Saturday.
Rufe Comer and Atty. E. C.
Kramer paid a visit to Grays last
Friday.
Walter Angus paid one of his
stereotyped visits to Wiv ille last
Sunday.
Master Ludie Winfree of Au
gusta, was in McCrory the latter
part of last week.
A. S. Thompson, DeView’s
popular merchant and druggist
was in town Friday last.
W. M. Matthews made a trip
down to Wiville last Sunday. We
wonder what calls him there.
Miss Cora Stacy a charming
young lady of Augusta visited
Miss Ellen Atkinson last week.
Miss Dove Crossett, daughter
of C. M. Crossett of DeView, vis
ited her cousin Miss Lizzie Cros
sett last week.
Bruce Keating and Miss Ruth
Shearer attended the protracted
meeting at Fakes’ Chappel last
Thu rsday evening.
Earl Kittrell and Ed Carl Lee
two popular young gentlemen of
Augusta were among the McCro
ry fair sex Sunday last.
Walter Hendricks of Little
Rock was a visitor to cur city
last Sunday. He knows where
to go to find pretty girls also.
—“Jessie Moore Whiskey” is
pure and wholesome. For fami
ly or medicinal use it has no
equal. Sold by Vaccaro & Co.
R. M. Mullens and family re
turned last Saturday from
across the bayou where they
have been clearing land for Allen
Holmes.
Charlie Meehan, a popular
young man of Cotton Plant was
in town last Monday.
Lonnie Price of Ward, White
county, came over Saturday and
is visiting the family of Mrs.
Sarah Bishop.
Our friend C. P. Hamer who is
located for the present at Cotton
Plant, was in town Monday shak
ing hands with his many friends.
Wild Bill Evans is waking
I things up religiously at Smith
ville. Some oO or 60 conversions
are reported.—Black Rock
Blade.
Last Monday Prof. W. W. Ba
ker who recently closed a terra
of school at Riverside was in Me
Crory. From here he went to
Vandale on a business trip.
L. C. Patterson our popular
butcher now has a dandy sign in
front of his store telling the peo
ple what he has to sell. It is the
work of our painter John T.
O’Fallon and is a good job.
Our friend R. W. Stoker wants
us to inform the good people
throughout the county that he
had a “mess of fresh meat” for
his dinner last Sunday. Bob is
a high liver and when he gets a
half chance, sure puts it on
heavy. We wonder what he'll do
next.
The front of Eobt. S. phirrod s
barber shop now has the U. S.
regulation sign painted on the
window and door casing. It now
has a hot appearance to it. Robt.
always has an eye to busines and
when he sees a chance of im
provement he most always takes
advantage of it.
We are informed by our broth
er Atty. E. C. Kramer who made
a trip to Grays last week, that
the Choctaw Ey. is improving
the looks of the platform and
depot at Grays. This will be a
blessing to the people there and
will give them much better ac
commodation at the hands of the
railway company.
Ollie Gross, Buck Joyner,
Harry Joyner and Marshal
Thompson of Wiville came up to
McCrory and spent Sunday
among friends here. Sunday
evening Harry Joyner and Mar
shal Thompson returned to Wi
ville, while the other three men
tioned left on the Monday morn
ing train for Wynne where they i
! will take the Cotton Belt for a
I point above Wynne at which
j place they are at work.
The man who will not help and
encourage a new enterprise
springing up in his home, is a
dead-letter and a drawback to
the general welfare of the com
munity he lives in. We have only
a few for which we can be truly
thankful. For a town its size
McCrory cannot be excelled by
any town in the state. We don’t
believe that one-half o": the busi
ness done in McCrory is done in
any other town its size in the
state. No town its size has the
push ahead, hustling, live busi
ness we have. A person has only
to look over the columns of the
News to see what kind of timber !
McCrory has.

The News has had quite a little
run on job work the past two
weeks, a thing we are very
proud of. If there is anything
we can do it is job work. Come
and see our work. It speaks for
itself. If we get your first order
we are sure of all other future
orders.
We had the pleasure of meet
ing C. W. McCrory this morning.
He is here to see what can be
done about building a spur from
Martin to his place. It is only
two miles and the Choctaw would
do well to grant his request. It
would also be a good thing for
the merchants of Newport.—
Newport News.
Compare the Mews to the other
county papers and even to the
average country papers publish
ed in the state and then come up
with your troubles and give us a
good “cussin.” And the News
is a fair representation of the
business men who cater to the
wants of the'people in McCrory
and it is to their patronage the
Ne ws owes its success.
Miss Fannie Jones left last
Monday on the noon train for
Oxford, Ohio, where she has ac
cepted a position as music teach
er in the popular college at that
place. Miss Jones’many friends
hope for h r a pleasant and pro
fitable term of school. The News
will keep her posted on the local
happening:’ of our comity, she
having handed us a round silver
wheel to Insure its appearence
just before taking leave for
which wo t hank her.
Josh Westhafer, of Loogootee,
Ind., is a poor man, but he says
he would not be without Cham
berlain's Pain Balm if it cost five 1
dollars a bottle, for it saved him :
from being a cripple. No external i
application is equal to this- lini
ment for stiff and swollen joints,!
contracted muscles, stiff neck,
sprains and rhumatic and mus
cular pains. It has also qijped
numerous cases of partial paral
ysis. It is for sale by Dr. J. B.
Neal of McCrory and A. S.
Thompson of DeView.
It is hard to decide just how
severe should be the punishment
of Czolgosz, the cowardly viper
who attempted the assination of
President McKinley at Buffalo
last Friday. Whether the Presi
dent dies or recovt rs, his assail
ant should be put to death. A j
liberal mixture of coal oil, fire and .
Czolgosz would be the most effec
tive way, and would better satis
fy the people. But it should not
stop at this. The anarchists j
whose teachings promoted the1
wretch to .-om mit his da starkly
attack on the nation's Chief Mag
istrate, should ; o the same way.
—Mariana. Index.
Col. H. C. Rightor the insur
ance man left Tuesday evening
for Wiville and other points
south where he will attend to his
insurance business.
The drinking man now is not
wanted anywhere. He is not
wanted as a clerk, as a lawyer,
as a doctor, as a teacher, as a
railroader—not even as a salopn
keeper. He is kicked out of so
ciety, kicked out of business,
kicked out of the saloons and
there are only two places in the
world where he is wanted—in
the legislature and in the army,
and it is about time that we rea
lized the danger of having them
in those places.—Advocate, El
Dorado, Kan.
A memorial service was neici
at the M. E. Church, South in
our little city last Sunday in
memory of our late president, at
which Rev. S. L. Cochran made a
short but excellent speech on
the life of President Wm. Me
McKinley, deceased, followed by
Rev. Moorehead, presiding elder
of the Helena district of the M.
E. Church, South, who gave a
splendid lecture on the nearness
of Heaven and hell. In the even
ing Rev. Moorehead preached on
the subject, “Whats’ in a name?”
A revival or protracted meet
ing will begin at the M. E.
Church, South, next Sunday,
September 22. The meeting will
continue indefinitely. It will be
under the management of Rev.
S. L. Cochran with the co
operation of the Revs. Coer
of Miss, and Moorehead of
Helena. It will be everybody’s
meeting and all the people are
most earnestly and cordially in
vited to attend. It is hoped that
the meeting will cause a general
awakening of the moral and re
ligious interests of all. It will
no doubt prove a great blessing
so McCrory.
A Communication.
Me. Editor—Allow me to
speak a few words in favor of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I
suffered for three years with the
bronchitis and could.net sleep at
nights. I tried several doctors
and various patent medicines,
but could get nothing to give me
any relief until my wife got a
bottle of this valuable medicine,
which has completely relieved
me.—i>V. S. Brockman, Bagnell,
Mo. This remedy is for sale by
Dr. J. B. Neal of McCrory and
