DEVIEW NEWS
“Weunses” went down to
Frankie Davis’ home Wednes
day night to watch the young
folks enjoy themselves, which
brought us back to the days
of our own childhood, before
the war and the cornbread law
came on. And by the way,
the DeView people seem to be
very fond of walking, anyway
a crowd walked dowTn that
nie-ht.
Miss Esther Thompson of
Galloway College, spent Sun
day with homefolk.
Miss Lois Thomas was a De
View visitor Sunday.
Harry Hall, the handsome
and efficient gasoline jerker,
and all around “Handy Andy”
for A. S. Thompson, has taken
upon himself the duties and
responsibilities of mail distri
butor and parcel post clerk in
our local postoffice.
Mr. Norman Stark went be
fore the local board Tuesday
for examination.
Several of us took advan
tage of the opportunity to take
the longest way round, toj
Chappell Grove Sunday night j
using the fact that Shinn was;
to preach there as an excuse, j
Tom McClusky, our great
fisherman, says that crawfish
beat no fish at all.
We see in our progressive
paper that Chappell Grove
has been allowed, through the
Central Committee, a voting
district. Hurrah for “votes for
women.”
The church bulletin didn’t
appear Sunday, the reason per
haps, was the editor, manager,
reporter, and devil got out last
week and cut wood for the
preacher. Good of them, was
it not?
Mr. Myric Stark, our hust
ling and progressive young
merchant, of South DeView,
was all smiles Sunday night.
Mrs. Bob CroSsett, of Chap
pell Grove, was a DeView vis
itor the latter part of last
week.
J. G. Wilson, Milt Davis, Joe
Wright, Oscar Chappell and
Sam Rubottom attended the
musincal entertainment at Mr.
King’s home Friday night.
The preacher’s talking ma
chine hasn’t anything on some
we have had here thirty or
forty years. Ours don’t have
to be wound up and they never
need a new record.
Last week was voted a week
of prayer by our Sunday School
and everybody is willing to do
anything to help our men “go
over the top.”
There is always something
now to worry even the best of
us and the gentlemen below
put forth the following com
plaints against unyielding na
ture : J. W. Morris wishes he
was not so burdened with sur
plus fat. A. S. Thompson wish
es the fast time would get slow
er. Harry Holl is bothered
about the overall shortage, es
pecially length. Edd Wright
wishes his new ground was not
so new. Tom Daughety is
afraid cotton will be out of
sight this fall and poor folks
will have to do without. Mr.
Will McMurtry has the cut
worm fever and Forrest Bulli
ard is afraid the drouth will
kill all the pumpkin bugs. Mr.
George Weld has heard that
chin whiskers are coming back
into..* style and he knows that
it will take him at least two
years to grow a set.
Constitutional Convention
The committees of the con
stitutional convention are meet
ing in Little Rock this week.
Each member is serving on one
or more committee and the en
tire membership of the conven
ts in Little Rock. The conven
tion re-convenes in July to hear
the reports of the committees,
mittees.
Perhaps the most important
committee of the convention is
that on the initiative and ref
erendum. If mistakes are
made in drafting a new con
stitution, and the same is rati
fied by the people, these mis
takes may be remedied if a
broad a>nd progressive initia
tive and referendum provision
is included. A measure of
this kind should not be based
on the idea that the people are
not competent to legislate for
themselves, or that they can
not be trusted, but should
place in their hands the power
of self-government. Provisions
should also be made whereby
local communities can make
laws for self government that
are not in conflict with state
legislation.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Raney
and Miss Ora Lee Hunnicutt
were Wynne visitors Sunday.
Glenn Harris is attending
the good roads meeting in Lit
tle Rock today.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Drewry,
and W. G. Dilliard and family
motored to Augusta Sunday'
afternoon. *
