While the board of health is
busy serving notices on the citi
zens to clean up their premises,
we would suggest that a notice also
be served on the street committee
to fill up some of these mud-holes.
We wonder how long one of
these mud-holes, like the one near
; the mayor’s home, would last if it
were in front of the home of a cer
tain member of our street-commit
tee.
People frequently inquire of the
editor where we received our infor
mation concerning such and such a
person, also who wrote this article
or that. To impart information a
long this is against the rules of a
news-paper office and our friends
and patrons will please bear this
in mind and not annoy us with in
quires. We always stand ready to
correct a wrong or mis-statement.
A business firm not far away
has as it’s motto: “Keeping ever
lastingly at it brings success.”
That’s a good motto and if the citi
zens of McCrory will adopt the
same and practice it when setting
forth the natural advantages o f our
town and surroundings we will
have a town of 2500 people here in
two years.
If you are pretty godd people
and have money to buy a farm, or
build a home in town, have some
thing of an education and the taste
and habits of respectable society,
and, in addition, you are looking
for a place to live and do your
whole duty as a citizen, then come
to McCrory. The men and
women about you will prove com
panions, the health that fills the
atmosphere will crown you with
content. There are business op
portunities to work and earn a com
petence in the productive fields or
in the business establishments.
But we have no place for the drone
or kicker. If you are a failure or
sour on the world and believe
that the world owes you a liv
ing whether you work or play,
then we don’t need you and there
is no hope for you here. This is
a busy town, full of busy people,
and that is the kind we are wel
coming.
A merciful man is merciful to
his beasts. We like to see our
| farmers when they drive into town
I on a cold, stormy day, pot their
j team in a barn or cover them with
blankets. In the heat of summer
they can always find shade in
which to leave the noble animals
that brought them safely to town.
There are many, however, who on
cold days will rush for a stove
themselves and leave their horses
in the storm while in the heat of
summer they seek the shade and
leave their horses in the sun.
There is something wrong about
the man who thus abuses his team.
He may be a nice man may belong
to the church, may not swear,
smoke nor have any bad habits,
but we would not want to be his
horse. No, sir.
Subscribe for the News and be
happy.
Will Jones wrote on the black
board: “Bill Jones can hug the
girls better than any boy in
school.” The teacher seeing it,
called him up. “William did you
write that?” “Yes ma’m,” said
Billy. “Well, you can stay in af
ter school,” she said. The chil
dren waited for Billy to come out,
and they began to guy him. “Got
a lickin, didn’t yer!” said Billy.
“Get jawed” “No.” What did
she do, they asked. “Shan’t tell,”
said Billy, but it pays to advertise!
McCrory is plenty large to sup
port an electric light plant an oil
mill a canning factory and various
other manufacturing plants. It is
not necessary that either should be
stupendious in size. A small one
of each and all run by the same
power would be the proper thing.
There would be money in the
scheme, money to the promoters,
money to the town, money to the
country and every individual for
miles around would be benefited.
Suppose we talk up the scheme.
We wonder how many of our
boys realize that laud is going fast
—boys brought up to think that in
America land can never be scarce,
that when they have played out at
everything else they can somewhere
get a piece of land for nothing and
next day be a prosperous farmer,
can with difficulty be made to see
it. In 1865 there were but little
over 81,000,000 acres under culti
vation in the Uuited States. Today
the cultivated acres number 236,
000,000 and these acres are not on
ly our best, but they are fast going
up in value beyond the reach of
men of small means. Keen scent
ed corporations snuffing the inevit
able battle from afar are turning
their attention to land, and greedi
ly buying whole counties with no
idea of ever letting an acre go, but
the boy who thinks he is made for
something higher looks calmly on
thinking there will be plenty left
for him should he ever have to
stoop to it. The sons of half starv
ed teachers, lawyers, traders and
others, who are unsuccessful in

Did you ever notice that “talk”
doesn’t hurt a man much? Per
fection isn’t looked for in man,
and when some one tries to injure
a man by ranting about a few
faults he has, the absent one, who
is probably attending to his own
affairs, is elevated in the hearer’s
estimation, while the informant is
lowered accordingly. If a man
knocks along, doing fairly well,
people realize that while he has
some faults, he has more virtues
and they are charitable enough to
over-look these faults. But it is
different with a girl or woman.
No matter how good and pure a
woman may be, let someone start
an infamous lie about her and
everyone is willing to pass it along
and there is always someone to be
lieve it. That lie can never bt
lived down. It may burn low but
gossip-loving are ready with new
fuel. Did you ever think how
damnably mean some goody-goo<
people are in this respect?
NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work fo>
cash only, as cost of material auc
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times account.1
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of sonn
customers, owing me are rendere<
unvaluable. I have found that J
am banking on good health am
good business ability, honesty am
good luck of a great many peoph
who’s account I carry on my bool
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chanct
in my business.
I find that many times it cosl
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So 1
adopted the plan of doing a casli
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

Somebody who wants to explain
what the editorial “we” signifies
says its meaning varies to suit the
circumstances. For Instance,
when you read that ‘‘we expect our

editor-in-chief; when it’s “we are
a little late with our work,” it in
cludes the whole office force, even
the devil and the towel. If “we
are having a boom,” the town is
meant. We received over 700,000
