IN MEMORIUM
Again the Missionary So
ciety of the Methoist church
is called upon to mourn the
loss of one of its most faith
ful and devoted members,
grandmother Patterson, as she
was lovingly called. She was
one of the charter members
of the McCrory Auxiliary.
During the years of her ac
tive life, she was then one of
few but faithful who gladly
bore her part in establishing
the work of the Womans Mis
sionary Society. In later year
because of advancing age and
enfeebled health her active
work was brought to an end,
yet through the remaining
years her interests were una
bated and her love and devo
tion has an abiding inspira
spiration.
Whereas, it has pleased the
Heavenlv home. Therefore
be it resolved:
First, That while we miss ;
her and mourn her loss we
bow in humble submission
to the Father wrho is too wise
to err.
Second: That we extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the be
reaved family.
Third: That we cherish her
devoted and consecrated life
and express our appreciation
of her gentle character.
Fourth: That a copy of the
Resolutions be furnished the
family, and that a copy be sent,
to the paper for publication
and a copy be placed on the
minutes of the Missionary.

term is only four years.”

: $150,000 worth of bonds to
the Mortgage Trust Co., of St.
Louis and the proceeds go to
wards the hard surface road

will connect the new road of

route from Des Arc via Mc
Crory to Memphis.
The new road will also ex
tend two miles north and
south of McCrory. This will
be one of the best envestments
thatMcCrory has ever made
from the fact that we depend
entirely upon the farming in
terests of the surrounding
country for our prosperity and
when the road is completed,
which will be begun very soon
it will attract much trade to
this city and in a few years
McCrory will be the best town
in the state.
