While Kennedy’s Laxative
Cough Syrup is especially recom
mended for children, it is, of
course, just as good for adults.
Children like to take it because it
tastes nearly as good as maple su

the cold from the system by a
gentle, natural, yet copious action
of the bowels. Sold by Howell

Last week we failed to make
mention of the first open cotton
boll of the 1908 crop of this sec
tion which was brought to this
office by Mrs. R. J. McDaniel Sat
urday, Aug., 15. The boll was
one of large size and fully opened.
Mrs. McDaniel stated that there
were several other bolls of like
size and maturity.
We were treated to a pleasant
drive Wedneseay evening to the
farm of W. B. Fakes just north of
town, by the owner, to look at
some cotton being raised under the
direction of the government. The
cotton was planted May, 20, with
the rows three feet nine inches
apart and it now has on a nice
crop. The bolls do not numher
as many to the stalk as the com
mon cotton but one boll of the
specially cultivated cotton will
weigh just double that of two bolls
from the other. Mr. Fakes has
two acres from which he expects
to harvest at least two and one half
bales. A sample of the cotton is
now on display at the Fakes Mer
cantile Company and if the seed
had been planted earlier Mr. Fakes
says that a larger crop would have
been made.
Atty. L. L. Campbell, of the law
firm of Jones & Campbell, of New
port, was a pleasant visitor in this
city Saturday. Mr. Campbell pro
ceeded Prof. E. L. Hayes as prin
cipal of the McCrory Public School
and both scholar and patron were
delighted to see him. Mr. Camp
bell has just spent a year in Col
umbia University in New York
City studying law. He informed
us that he has two more years to
go, before completing. At the
above univeisity last year there
were five Arkansas boys three of
whom carried away highest honors,
one being himself. While attend
ing school he would at odd times
teach law to a partner of Andrew
Carnegie, the steel king, at a sal
ary of two dollars per hour, a very
nice salary for a first year’s stu
dent. Every citizen of our town
and country is greatly interested
in Mr. Campbell’s success he being
a self made fellow and in life’s
earliest years.

business caller at this office Satur
day. He informed us that their

Dr. S. A. Pettit, and family,
left Wednesday night for Bates
ville where they go to make their
home in the future, because of a
healthier clime. These good peo
ple bave been life-long residents
of our city and we regret very
much that they have to be parted
from us. While in Batesville
recently Mr. Clayton Hailey pur
chased one of the most beautiful
residences in that city for Dr. and
Mrs. Pettitt who have reared his
only daughter, Miss Ruth, who is
also a grand-daughter of the above
named. Their son, Murray,
whose health has been wrecked
for sometime, accompanied them.
Miss Ruth was exceedingly pop
ular in McCrory’s social world and
will be greatly missed by every
young boy and girl of our city.
We hope that the Doctor’s and
Murray’s health will improve and
that they may soon return to Me
Crory.
