L. Shelton, Geo. M. Blake and
R. T. Scoggins were appointed as
a committee on resolutions and
submitted the following:
Whereas, the prosperity of a na
tion is most secure when all ele
ments and classes of people of that
nation are at peace, one with an
other, Christianity reaches the
height of its sacred mission when
the spirit of co-operation and bro
therly love are most couspiconsly
in evidence.
The diseases that threaten us
most are from within, therefore,
Mr. Chairman, we are glad to
meet on such an occasion to try to
bring about a better feeling and
understanding between the two
races.
For the above reasons we offer
the following resolutions. Resolve
first, that this organization shall
be known as the Law and Order
League. Whereas we believe that
the best element of the Negro Race
is misunderstood and misjudged.
Resolved Secondly, that we the
Law and Order League of Mc
Crory, Ark., do hereby pledge our
selves to co-operate with the White
Race in suppressing crimes of
every kind. Resolve further;
that we co-operate with them in
bringing all violators of the law to
the oourt of justice, white or
colored.
Resolved thirdly, that a copy of
these resolutions be published iu
The Woodruff County News.
Both races were represented and
a profound talk on the subject of
good citizenship was made by Rev.
A. C. Cloyes.

will urge the people to stop taking
the paper of contemporary.
care not if you patronize fifty other
papers so long as you take ours.
The editor of this paper has a
warm place in his heart for the
friends who bring or send in uews
items. -It is the desire of th’s pa
per to give all the news all the
time and those who lend us then
assistance to that end have our un
bounded gratitude.
After a man has spent his whole
life as the devil wished, it, doesn’t
look reasonable to us that lie can
lie to the Lord, on his deathbed
and go straight to heaven. In our
opinion the talk of deathbed re
pentance has kept many from .-u
tering the pearly gates.
There are 800,000 rail
graph and telephone lines u,
couutry at the present time which
requires 32,000,000 poles. A pole
lasts on an average, twelve years
and is made from a tree sixty rears
old. To maintain a continuous
supply five times as many trees
must be growing in the forest as
there are poles in use. Experiments
are being made which if successful
will vei-y materially add to the
length of the life of a pole.
Let us rally around the standard
of youth, remembering that the
future of our country shall be
what the youngs people make it.
Let us show our fathers and
mothers that the boys and girls of
today shall be ready to stand forth
fully equipped men aud women of
tomorrow. Let us show them the
rising generation which is follow
ing in tneir footsteps is fully com
petant to sueceed them and shoul
der the responsibility of the farm,
the home and the nation.
Microbes in everything you eat
and drink, and if you eat aud
drink microbes you will surely die,
and if you don,t eat and drink you
will still more surely die. Bound
to surely die in any event, y ou had
better pay no more attention to
microbes than your grand-dadies
did. They ate and drank every
thing they wanted and they lived
loug aud prospered. What did
Methuselah know about microbes
in his time? Eat aud drink every
thing you want, microbes and all
and you will live untill you die
and that is what old Mathuselah
did—he lived until he died.
