Thompson May Move
Our friend, Mr. R. C. Thomp
son, who has been holding down
the agency here for the Iron
Mountain Ry. Co., for many
years, informs us that he will
soon move his family to Brinkley
where a much easier position
with a greater salary awaits him.
Both he and his good wife have
won the friendship of the patrons
both town and rural, of the local
office, and an effort was made by
circulating a petition to have
them retained here, but it seems
that the best of friends have to
part and our loss is Brinkley’s
gain. We shall hope, however,
to some day again claim them as
citizens of McCrory. Following
is a copy of a letter from Super
intendent White acknowledging
receipt of the petition:
Wynne, Ark., Feb. 27, 1917.
Mr. Walter W. Raney,
McCrory, Ark.
Dear Sir:—
Beg to acknowledge receipt of
petition signed by you and others
regarding the retention of Mr.
R. C. Thompson as agent at your
station.
I appreciate the interest shown
by you gentlemen in this and
will give it my immediate con
| sideration nd see if some ar
rangement can be made for com
I pliance with your wishes.
R. C. White,
Superintendent.

Courtesy to Unbidden Callers
WHEN a person enters your office by mistake
you do not treat him churlishly.
On the contrary, your courteous acknowl
edgment of his apology helps to lighten his em
barrassment over the error.
Sometimes your telephone rings and you find that you have been
called to the telephone by mistake.
It is well at such a time to practice the same courtesy that you
would like to have extended to you were the same situation
versed and you had unintentionally become a telephone intru e.
