President Roosevelt has set
apart Nov., 28th, to be observed
as our national day of thanksgiv
ing.
On last Saturday night the
gates of the great Pan American
Exposition were closed. The
Exposition is said to have lost
some $3,000,000 in their stupen
dous work.
Chancellor Thomas B. Martin
was married to Mrs. Floy
Stevenson on Wednesday Nov.
18th. The ceremony was per
formed by Dr. Ben M. Bogard at
the home of the bride’s father,
Prof. J. A. Kimbrough.
Mrs. Anna Edson Taylor cele
brated her forty-third birthday
by making a successful trip over
Niagara Falls in a barrel. After
landing and while the doctors
worked oyer her, she said: “I
felt as if I was being knocked to
pieces and churned all over. I
thought of trying not to break
my neck. I caught on to the
side straps. After the men set
me adrift, I closed my eyes and
prayed. I struck rocks three
times and the water seemed to
come in the barrel everywhere.
I knew when I went over the
falls and I lost my senses just a
minute. I would rather face a
cannon, knowing that I would be
blown to pieces, than go over the
falls again.”
In a town in Tennessee, a
church made the following an
nouncement: uWe will serve free
drinks at the church.” There
object is to run an objectionable
saloon man out of town. What
some people won’t do to carry
their point is not worthy of re
cord. If if is sinful and wrong
to sell drinks, then it is doubly
wrong for a so called Christian to
give it away free in order to reek
his vengeance on a man who has
spent rocks for that privelege. The
Bible does not sanction such a
method. It says kind words turn
away wrath. “Vengeance is mine
.Baith the Lord, I will repay.”
But won’t the boozers of that
town have a time and under the
sanction of that church too.
The News receives quite a
number of excellently printed
country papers, among which
the Courier-Democrat printed by
Oldham & Mourning, at our
old home Russellville, holds the
first place. It is by great odds
the best edited and therefore j
the most liberally patronized pa
per in the state, or we are no j
judge of what constitutes a good j
paper. The C-D. is one of the j
best equipped offices in the state, j
They have the material and know.
how to use it to get the best ef- j
fects. The Courier-Democrat
is run just the way a successful j
paper should be run, and the
merchants show their appre- j
ciation by a very liberal patron
age. Last week the C-D. came
out as a sixteen page all home
print paper with quite a number
of we!l-gotten-up adds. Messrs.
Oldham and Mourning can well
be proud of the success they are
meeting for they certainly de
serve it,
H. C. RUSHING.
Our friend H. C. Rushing of
Punpkin Bend was in McCrory
last Friday and showed his smil
ing face in the News while here.
On this occasion Mr. Rushing
was in a very happy frame of
mind and the whole push enjoyed
the timely jokes he spun. He
informed us that some one whom
he never injured had the audaci
ty to call hi m a resident of the
city of Morton. He says of all
false accusations he had been
charged with, this of all others
was the red necktie climax.
We didn’t stop the flow of his
oratory a little bit for he enjoyed
t and so did we. We didn’t even
get to put a word in edgeways.
Mr. Rushing has been a resi
dent of Pumpkin Bend for some
time past where he has made
quite a success farming. He in
formed us that although this was
an unusually short-cropped year,
by hard work and strict economy
he has managed to realizeenough
to pay all his debts and at the
same time have a small bank
account. This ought to be
enough to cause him to be happy.
Among other good things
raised on his farm this year are
some of the largest and finest
sweet potatoes ever brought to
McCrory. We are promised a
sample of them the first time he
brings any in.

We sympathize with him in his
bereavements.
On Saturday Nov. 9th, a fine
101b. girl appeared at the house
of E. M. Fowler. < .Wife and child
are doing well, while Ed will
probably not recover for some
time owing to a shock he receiv
ed from running against a tree
while going to tell his father the
“glad tidings of great joy.”
The preacher was down the
first of the week and begged
very faithfully for a chicken but
we soon found that they had
already disappeared, he, then
threateded us again with the
jokes he got from mamma but
said if we would give him a $ he
would quit. Of course a timber
man never has the dough and his
wrath was kindled again and he
will of course fill the News with
his funny stories.
A party consisting of C. R. Nail,
Fon Caudle and Will Griffin went
to White river bottoms last week
and while in camp at night, they
became alarmed at what they
thought was a bear. The result
was consternation in the camp.
This was a cold night and as there
was no wood inside and as the at
mosphere without was clxarmed
by the thoughts of Mr. Bear,
they shivered all night, but the
next mornning each and every
one claimed to have sweetly slum
bered all night. They were all
ready to return home before
breakfast.
