WATCH US GROW
The News this week greets its
readers with an eight page paper.
This increase in size is made at
considerable expense, but is in
keeping with our determination to
give the people of Woodruff Coun
ty the very best home paper they
can get anywhere at any price.
Our busy season is now on, when
our business people demand more
of our space for advertising pur
poses, and in order to accomodate
them and at the same time not re
duce the amount of reading mat
ter we give our subscribers, we
have added the four extra pages,
just doubling the size.
A little less than a year ago
other publishers found it necessary
either to cut down expenses by re
ducing the size of their paper, or to
increase the subscription price. We
chose neither of the two but kept
up giving the people a good paper
without an increase in price or a
decrease in size and we have no
cause to regret it. With the sub
scription price ot $1.00 per year,
we have been able to keep the pa
per up to its former standard and
even improve upon it in the
amount of home news given our
readers.
Many interesting features have
been added with the extra four
pages, among which is a most fas
cinating serial story, “Rosalind at
Red Gate” which begins in next
issue.
But we refrain from further
comment, believing that the paper
will best speak for itself. If you
like the paper, if you think it is
worth the price of subscription,
speak a good word for it when the
opportunity affords. Many of our
subscribers have neighbors and
friends who take no county paper.
Show them an occasional copy and
ask them to subscribe. The price
each week is less than the cost of a
postage stamp, and no citizen can
afford to be without the paper and
the news it brings you from all
sections of the county.
IN MEMORlUn.
Died, after a brief illness of
pneumonia, at Galloway College,
Searev, Arkansas, Tuesday morn
ing, January 26, 1909, at 6
'o’clock, Miss Grace Lewis, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lewis,
aged 21 years.
The sad news of Miss Grace’s
sudden death cast a shadow over
the whole community, for most of
her short but happy life was spent
among us, and every heart was
touched with sympathy for the
stricken ones, from whose fireside
the light had fled. For many
bright, sunny years not only had
she been the joy and comfort of
the home, now left empty and
desolate, but her sweet, womanly
presence brought a wealth of sun
shine and happiness into the lives
of the entire community. We feel
the emptiness of human words in
times of bitter sorrow. Yet He
who “has borne our griefs and
carried our sorrows” will comfort
and sustain.
During her school days in Gal
loway College Miss Grace’s sweet
face and winsome ways won the
hearts of both teachers and stu
dents.
Rev. J. R. Nelson conducted the
services at the Methodist church in
this city and the sweet solemn mu
sic of the choir touched every
heart. Loving hands tenderly
laid the form to rest in the Fakes’
cemetery north of McCrory, the
somber sky and rustling leaves be
ing in true accord with the solemn
scene. Yet above all came the
comfortiug thought that the gentle
daughter was spared earth’s cares
and sorrows, that her memory but
forms another cord to draw her
loved ones to the brighter home
beyond.
EXTRACTS FROM TALK MADE BY REV.
NELSON AT FUNERAL SERVICES.
Miss Grace Lewis, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Lewis, was
born Dec., 8, 1887. From early
childhood she had made her home
with her sister, Mrs. Lena Gant,
of Harrisburg, Ark. Very early
in life she was converted and join
ed the Methodist Episcopal Church
South a t McCrory, Ark. She
possessed those beautiful traits of
character that made of her the
favorite of all the family and won
for her a large place in the affec
tions of all who knew her. She
was a devoted Christian, and had
an abiding love for the church,
and was much concerned in the
great work of missions perfected
by the church.
She graduated in the High
School at Harrisburg and after
ward entered Galloway College, at
Searcy,at the time of her death
was in her third year. Her ex
amination papers show marks of
rapid advancement, and always
came with the word ©f encourage
ment, that Miss Grace is among
the best.
She was loved by the faculty,
and all the students, and over
Galloway College today there
hangs a dark cloud of sorrow be
cause of her departure.
She was of an unassuming na
ture, always thinking of others’
pleasures first—Like our Lord,
rather minister than to be minis
tered unto. On the morning of
the 26th inst. at 6 a. m. God call
ed—she answered—and passed in
to the haven of rest. The deceas
ed was a musician of great talent.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT FROM THE
IRVING LITERARY SOCIETY.
Whereas: God, in his infinite
wisdom has seen fit to take from
our midst oue of our most loyal
members, Grace Lewis, and
Whereas: We, the members
of the Irving Literary Society of
Galloway College, are deeply
grieved and recognize the severe
loss that we sustain in her death,
be it resolved:
First : That we extend to her
family our heartfelt sympathy in
their great loss and may our all
wise and omnipotent Heavenly
Father comfort their hearts in
this hour of grief.
Second : That we will always
cherish Her memory as a true and
faithful Irving.
Third : That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to her family,
her home paper—the Woodruff
County News, and also to the
Searcy Daily Citizen. Signed,
Dell Park,
Jane Price,
Lois Simpson.
The News breaks the record
this week with eight big pages and
two spicy supplements—Baby

MONEY
YIN every community there is enough money
in hiding to start a respectable bank.
Y This money is not only liable to be lost by
theft or fire, but it is placed where it does not
bring in any income to the holder—neither is
it of any use to the public.
Y Deposit this “dead” money with us. Then it
will get into circulation and be of some bene
fit to yourself and also to the community.
YThe more money there is in circulation, the
cheaper the rate of interest; the easier it is to
borrow, and the more prosperous the general
business conditions.
