Among other good things he has
is a young calf. This calf has
associated with Mr. Angus so
much, and is such an intelligent
animal, that it has naturally
adopted some of Mr. Angus’ pe
culiar ways. One noteworthy is
his new way of drinking. Mr.
Angus says he has a pump on
his place used for watering his
stock and sometimes he takes a
drink there also, holding his
mouth at the extreme end of the
spout and catching the water “on
the fly.” The calf, which is also
nice and somewhat given to re
ficement observed this and now
it will not drink any other way
than by holding its head under
the spout. The trough is to un
clean for Mr. calf. What Mr.
Angus'will have the calf doing
next remains to be seen.

W. T. Mayfield who has been
spending several months at j
Clover Bend, Missouri, returned |
home Monday and will now re-1
main here again. He reports j
crops almost a failure where he!
has been.
A sewing machine fraud is j
operating in various localities
and may turn up in Bucklin. j
His method of operation is thus {
described: He would visit the I
homes and get the consent to
clean the sewing machines, and
while doing so would remove |
some part, then show a broken
piece of machinery, telling the
lady that it would have to be re
placed at a cost of a number of
dollars, he of course having the
proper piece to fit. He would
then put in the original piece and
receive his compensation for the
work. If he could deceive his
patron further he would find a
second broken piece and thus
add more to the treasury. A
number have been fleeced in this
manner and our residents should
be shy of machine repairers.—

Mrs. J. 32. Shelton, was sum

the worthy manager will act as
president, J. R. Boon ( one of the
most enthusiastic base ball
sports in Eastern Arkansas) was
unanimously elected Sec. Mr.
Stacy our efficient cashier as
Tres., with such an able “corps”
of officers we feel sure that con
struction will be pushed to com
pletion rapidly, the site having
been secured, work will begin at
once.The Cotton Plant
homes and Hunters imported,
met on the latters diamond
Thursday. That they played
ball as “Hoyl” says play is easily
seen by the score board, which
i stood 17 to 13 in favor of the C.
!P. team. After the ball game
they formed a () around one
“poor little 16 gallon keg,” if the
names of all present were known
you could readily guess what be
came of the contents. The boys
; all got in safe with tales galore
longing for another?—Cotton

_
! M ’CHOKY VS. WIVILLiE.
Our second nine boys crossed
bats with the Wivilie team last
Friday, score 32 to 11 in favor of
Wivilie. The boys say Wivilie had
men playing with them and some
of these were imported from Cot
ton Plant and Howell. Those
who attended the game from
McCrory were Galen Patterson
and Jno. Jimerson. i
Tuesday the people of McCrory
had another swell lish-fry down
on Kin" Lake. A jollier crowd
would be hard to gather together.
Every one enjoyed themselves
glee-oi'iousl.v. Boat rides, push
a-way hacks, surreys, wagons,
boys falling in the water, boats
capsized, girls throwing bucket
fuls of ice-water on one another,
all kind of good eatables, and fun,
fun, fun, constituted the days’
program.
NOTICE.
To the people of McCrory and
surrounding country:
Having fully and finally deter
mined to make a change, in my
location, I take this method of
expressing my appreciation and
sincere thanks to my friends, in
dividually and collectively, for
their liberal patronage during
my stay of something more than
six years among them. Within
this time I beleve I have acquir
ed a goodly number of friends,
and I can truthfully say it is
with some regret that T must
leave them, but feel that the
change may be best for me.
Wherever I go I shall ever cher
ish the friendship, courtesy and
confidence reposed in me by the
good people of this community.
My cousin, Mr. Arnof, will con
tinue business at the old stand,
and I take pleasure in commend
ing him as being in every way
worthy of your confidence.
And now with best wishes for
your prosperity and happiness,
I bid you, one and all, a friendly
farewell. Lolts H. Shultz.
