PAINTING IS CATCHING.
From present indications, it
seems that the paint bucket cru
sade is marching in both direc
j tions, north and south. They
j pay no attention at all to the Ma
son Dixon line, but proceed with
undaunted courage.
Miss Nancy gives Sam Kyle
credit for this movement of pro
gress and she only hopes the fire
will burn hotter and brighter
with each succeeding day until
our whole town will have on its
Sunday go-to-meeting clothes.
L. M. Pettit has beautified the
front of his father’s building
which is now occupied by Tom
Greer’s city meat market. Mur
ry gives it the left handed touch
and very artistically “do he ply
de brush.” We may not be com
petent judges, but Sam deals in
lighter shades and hues than
does Murry, yet Murry gets
there just the same.
Of course Harry Walker has
caught the fever and if he keeps
his courage up and we trust he
will there will be another house
painted and by the way if he
doesn’t we’ll have something to
say about faint hearts etc.
The next places, the News man
is interested in, are John Phil
j lips’ front on the south ward
! march and Mr. Nolen’s and D.
■ Fielding’s fronts marching
1 northward. Let us all put our
i shoulders to the wheel. It is a
' strange thing to us that painting
isn’t breaking out on the west
: side of Edmund’s avenue. Every
; one knows these buildings are
I decaying rapidly for the want of
a little paint. Help the good
| work along.

The “Devil*’ In Dallas.
HE SAYS HE GOT LOST AND
THEN FELL IN A RIVER.
On last Friday our Devil re
turned after a two weeks stay in
the Lone Star State. Walter
saw many strange sights while
in Texas. We mention a few. A
passenger coach running up and
down the streets without an en
gine pulling or pushing same.
When a person wants water in
Texas all you have to do is turn a
faucet at the end of a pipe and
the water runs. You don’t even
have to pump like you do in Ark
ansas. Sometimes you can’t
find the pipes however.
He also saw a lady flying around
in the air. Walter said the lady
was hypnotized and began to rise
and turn around in the air like a
cork-screw. He saw many
wonders. Two ladies standing
side by side; one weighing 33
pounds and the other 712 pounds
and this is no lie either, but re
member the devil tells this. He
saw a lady with four feet, four
hands, 20 fingers and 20 toes.
Finally he saw a lady change to a
tomb stone. This required quite
a little time and it so completely
bemuddled Walter that he was
actually lost. The very idea of
the devil being lost. It sounds
paradoxical, yet ’twas true.
Walter, like most other men, was
first seeing all the women, but
when the aforesaid strange and
mystical happenings had him in
a perfect state of preservation or
in the realm of witches and de

mons he wandered along the
streets as one out of his head
and a policeman seeing Walter
act so uncommonly strange,
walked up to him and said young
man who are you. “Walter
Raney” was the reply. “Where
are you from,” “Prom Arkan
sas.” “What part?” “McCrory.”
“What are you doing here?” “I
am looking for my pa.” “Who
is your pa?” “Squire Raney,
who runs an undertaker’s shop
at McCrory; sometimes preaches
and then again practices law.”
“Do you know auy one else?”
“Yes Sir. Dr. Fakes said he was
coming over Monday. He told
me he had a brother livinghere.”
As a result, it is said the tele
phone system was used and Wal
ter directed to take a Pearl
street car. He at once took his
stand on one of the streets wait
ing a car of the aforsaid and
same discription. He sat there
until about ten o’clock, then he
concluded there must be some
thing wrong with the Pearl
street car. So he walked to a
near by drug store and called up
the Fakes furniture store, but it
was after business hours and
they had long since gone home.
The druggist called up the Fakes
residence and Walter was again
given direction more minutely.
He arrived there safe about il
o’clock in the night.
Walter is O. K., but on one oc
casion, some of the “on-to-their
jobs,” way-laid Walter or as Wal
ter called it “held him up.”
Now, what puzzles us is, how
these fellows ever got it into
their Satanice heads to hold up
the devil. But they found out
later to their sorrow, that it was
not worth the trouble as they
only made a haul of 10 cents.
Outside of these few incidents
Walter had a most lovely trip.
We don’t understand why
some people persist in mixing
politics and religion, unless it is
to aid Harry Miers in his defeat
for governor. A man, that can
down the opposition as Davis
has done, will down the repubs
no matter what some of the toe
bandaged hypocrits may do.
The Wedding.
On last Wednesday night at
the pleasant home of the Bride’s
father, a small but representa
tive company met to participate
in the hymenean ceremony.
The parlor was artistically
decorated with flowers rare and
fragrant with the perfume of
heaven and amid the heart mov
ing touches of the wedding
march, entered the Bride and
Groom. Then as the charming,
mellow cords of sacred anthems
filled the air, Rev. F. E. Taylor
tied the knot that binds for time
and eternity the lives of Mr. Cox
and Miss Clara Taylor. Soon
after the ceremony, the wedding
party enjoyed an elegant repast.
About 10:30 o’clock, Mr. and
Mrs. Cox in company with their
many friends went to the depot
to await the train. Rice was
very much in evidence and as
Mr. and Mrs. Cox seated them
selves in the coach; Mr Cox No. 2
opened the coach window and
about a sack of rice was shower
ed in at the window7. One pas
senger imagined he had struck
the outskirts of China, but he
saw no mice. The Newrs joins the
many friends of the happy coup
le in wishing them a life of peace
and joy; of usefulness and pros
perity, laden with the breath of
flowei’s and immersed in the
baptism of God’s eternal love.
The Roaster.
The Peanut Roaster has come
to town and with it comes the
curiosity seekers from all parts
of the wTorld. Among the distant
visitors, we note Mr. Ira Stoker
of the far north, Mr. P. M. Rhodes
of the distant south, Tom Jeffries
from toward the setting sun and
Sam Kyle from the Palace of the
east. The roaster was roasting
the first unroasted peanuts last
Wednesday and while the roast
er was roasting said unroasted
peanuts, Lynn Jimmerson was
standing near by with a new five
cent piece in his hand continual
ly asking Mr. Cook for peanuts.
Mr. Cook told him the roater had
not yet roasted them and Lynn
said well I shall wait until the
roaster has thoroughly roasted
the unroasted peanuts. Sato
Kyle seemed to be chief engineer
with Harry Walker Jr. doing all
the work. Sam can certainly re
gulate the governor of aforenam
ed roaster to pefection. If Sam
is desirous of increasing the
speed of said roaster, he turns a
screw. If he wishes the machine'
to operate with less velocity, he
also turns the screw. Sam is a
great one. Mr. Cook deserves
credit for his progressive busi
ness methods.

Somebody said Col. Charlie
Dailey had received a letter from
his best girl. Some of the boys
are thinking about having that
letter printed next week.
Whose baby was that? Why
it was the young lady visiting
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. H.
P. Hargis. The Doctor can now
catch fish without bait.
Our friend H. B. Angus came
up to see the News office last
Saturday. While here, he in
formed us that he had saved the
seed of a cotton stalk from which
he expects to recuperate the flee
cy staple on his place. Upon be
ing asked how he happened to
find the first stalk, he informed
us that this stalk had grown
from a seed planted in his field
with other seed, but as it out
grew the other, he uatu rally
took special care to cultivate it
with extra diligence. He told us
the stalk, when grown, was four
teen feet higher than any other
stalk in the field. To us this
sounds, but yet being flon^rqnted
with Mr. Angus’ reputation for
truth and veracity, we are forc
ed to believe it. That is a wonder
in the wTay of a cotton stalk.
FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ON FARMS.
Dr. Bergin, Pana, Ills., writes:,
“I have used Ballard’s Snow Lini
ment; always recommend it to my
friends, as i am confident there is
no better made. It is a dandy for
burns Those who live on farms are
especially liable to many acciden
tal cuts, burns and bruises which
heal rapidly whenBallard’s Snow
Liniment is applied. It should
always be kept in the house for
cases of emergency. 25c, 50c and
$1.00 at Dr. J. B. Neal.
SPRING AILMENTS.
There is an aching and tired
feeling; the liver, bowels and kid
neys become sluggish and inac
tive the digestion impaired with
little or no appetite, no ambition
for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that
during winter, there has been an
accumulation of waste matter in
the system. Herbine will remove
it, secnre to the secretions a right j
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully j
restore the wasted tissues and
give strength in place of weak- j
ness. 50c at Dr. J. B. ^Teal.
On last Sunday morning at 10
o clock, at the residence of C. J

occured. S. T. Cross and Nora
Johnson were the happv con
tracting parties. The ceremony
was performed by W. W. Best
Esq. After the ceremony, the
entire wedding party betook it
self to the pleasant home of Mr.
Benson where a sumptuous din
ner was served for the occasion.
We hope their future may be a
continual song of sweet harmo
