Important Road Meeting
McCrory, August 6th.
As has been practised through-1
out his administration in the
past, the one great principle of
Democracy ‘ ‘Let the People
Rule” will also be the course;
which our esteemed Connty;
Judge A. L. Hutchine will pur
sue in naming the three commis
sioners and three assessors for
the proposed road district which
is now being formed for the pur-'
pose of building a gravel roadj
trom Fakes to Fair Oaks and!
which we hope to have partially i
adopted as a portion of the Bank-1
head Highway.
At a meeting held in this city!
a few weeks ago which was call
ed on a few hours notice and at
which there were only present
about 20 citizens, three gentle
men were elected for commis
sioners and three for assessors,
all of whom are honest, capable
and thoroughly competent to
fill the places satisfactorily to all,
and no doubt would do so, but
for the purpose of leaving the
selection of the commissioners
and assessors to the people and
in order that everyone interested
may have a voice in the matter,
our Judge has stated in a reply
to a letter sent him by Mr. Lewis
and which we publish below,
that a meeting should be adver- j
tised at least one week ahead in j
The Home News thereby giving
notice of same to all concerned
and that he will name the men
elected at saidf meeting for com
missioners and assessors.
The men elected at the inform
al meeting a few weeks ago will
probably be selected at the meet
to be held in McCrory on Mon
day, August 6, but should others
be selected no legal objection
could be made. Judge Hutchins
has expressed himself as being
heartily in favor of the road and
we think he has taken the proper
stop in the matter of naming
50 bushels of good ear corn for
sale. John Koors, R. 1, McCro
ry. Adv. It.
Mr. R. H. Abpey of Webb,
Miss., former county agent here,
was the guest of McCroryfriends
Sunday.
Mr. Lee George of Company
B, 1st Arkansas, Little Rock,
returned home today after a
visit with his brother, “Doc”
George.
Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Jeffries
entertained a number of their
friends last Friday evening with
a barbecue dinner in honor of
the 10th birthbay of their daugh
ter, little Miss Hazel Jeffries.
E. L. Keene of Little Rock,
representing the Tunnah & Pit
tard Printing Co., was here to
day, Friday. Mr. Keene was
editor of the first newspaper
published in this city he having
published the McCrory Chroni
cle here in 1891.
The Home News gives to its
readers this week the FIRST OF
FICIAL list of the first 100 num
bers drawn in Washington ap
plying to Woodruff county. The
first number in the list indicates
the order in which the man’s
number was drawn. The figures
following the “No.” denote the
man’s registration or “red ink”
number. This county’s quota is
20 instead of 16 and the first 100
drawn as published on this page

men are not secured from this
100, others will be called in the
order in which their numbers
were drawn. We will begin
with number 101 next week and
continue to publish the remain
ing names of the 1,999 men who
registered in this county and the
order in which they may be
called^ on to report.
those who will have charge of
its construction. Following is
his reply to Mr. Lewis’ letter:
Mr. Fletcher Lewis,
McCrory, Arkansas.
Dear Sir and* Friend, —
Your letter in regard to^ the
proposed road from Fakes to the
Woodruff County line on the east
received. I agree with you that
this is one of the most important
improvements proposed in our
county and I feel that it will re
sult in getting recognition from
the Bank head people and will
