last week. While here she was
the guest of the family of Mr.
Joe Johnson.
Saturday night the people of j
McCrory witnessed Win. X. Se- j
lig’s polly-graph. On account of
the maehinism being somewhat
•out of kolter, those who attended
witnessed a “bum show.”

Our friend H.C. Rider left last

“lonesome spot around the stove”
where his erstwhile countenance

that be will soon i*eturn.

Dr. God by, editor of the Ark
ansas Methodist of little Rock,
and a speaker of exceptionable
ability will favor the people of
our comunily by delivering a dis
course at the McCrory M. E.
Church on Easter Sunday. Ev
eryone is cordially invited to be
present.
There are quite a number of
boys who are in the habit of hop
ping on the passenger train ev
eryday day near the switch and j
riding up to the depot. If there j
is no law to prohibit this ungen
tlomanly and at the same time
very dangerous practice the pa
rents should watch their boys’
actions more closely ere some
!one is brought home minus a
I limb or even worse, lifeless.
One commendable feature of
McCrory to impress a stran
ger is the fact that all her busi
ness houses are occupied by
progressive, courteous business
men. No empty storerooms can
be seen, and we know of no
dwelling-house unoccupied. This
indeed speaces well of McCrory.
The News would like to have a
news-contributor at every post
office in the county, and we
would be pleased to furnish a
copy of the paper together with
stationery and stamps to all who
will so favor us. Our desire is to
make this v county paper and the
news of the county will be appre
ciated.
One of the most enjoyable
affairs of the season was the
dance given by the young men
of McCrory at Wherry’s Hall,
Wednesday, March 24. Mor
! i/an’s band furnished -music for
| the occasion .and from the “Grand
Match” to “Hoi:-e Swet< Home”
the dance was “one grand sweet
song.” The visitors present
were Misses Jones and Gordon,
of Augusta,; the Misses Board
of Howell. Mesdames Kittrell
and Sales of Augusta, and Mar
lin and Duncan of Howell.
Our worthy and popular towns
man Clayton Ilailey, accompanied
by his bright little daughter
Liuth, made a business trip to
Memphis two weeks since. Mr.
Hailey for sometime has been
afflicted with failing eyesight due
to the straining <>f the optic
nerves by excessive writing.
The malady has been becoming
more marked recently, requiring
the services of a specialist whom
Mr. Hailey visited while in Mem
phis. As yet very little improve
ment is noted. We trust that
his eyesight may soon be fully
restoied.
A Missippi editor tells the story
of a young bachelor sheriff who
was called upon to serve an at
tachment on a handsome young
widow. He called and said ^‘Ma
dam, I have an attachment for
you”. She blushed and said the
attachment was reciprocated.
“You must proceed to court.”
She told him she knew it was
leap year, but she had rather he
would do the courting. “Ma
dam, ” he continued, “this is no
time for trifling, the justice is
waiting.” 0, I prefer a minis
ter!” she said. “A’squire mar
| riod me the first time and I had
bad luck.

Messrs. Fakes, Mullens, Noah

Speaking of what newspapers
do for a community, the late
United States Senator David
Davis, of Illinois, in an address
said: “Each year every local
paper gives from $">00.00 to
$1,000.00 in free line for the ben
efit of the community in which it
is located, no other agency can
or will do this. The editor in
proportion to his means does
more than any other man. He
ought to be supported, not be
cause you happen to iike him, or
admire his writings, but because
a local paper is the best invest
ment a community can make.
Today the editors of local papers
do more work for less money
than any other man on earth.
Patronize your home paper not
as a charity but as -an invest
ment.

On Saturday evening, April
the 13th, McCrory will be able to
enjoy Ralph Bingham, known to
newspaper prints throughout the
country as “the modern Proteus
monologist, humorist and vio
linist.” Mr. Bingltam has given
2,000 entertainments alone in the
Empire and Keystone States,
while 6,000 audiences on the
western continent, who have
heard him, will attest to the per
fection of his remarkable skill as
a platform entertainer. He is en
gaged over and over again by the
same committees. He comes
highly recommended and we be
speak for him a full house. In
speaking of his successfull en
tertainment at ChiUicoth, Ohio,
the Daily Advertiser of that place
says: “Nocriticism can convey
an idea of how Mr. Bingham en
tertains his audiences. They
laugh when he laughs and weep
when he weeps. His powers are
a heaven-born gift, and liis asso-;
ciation with the literary geniuses
of the time give him an inex
hausjable supply of wit, poems
and a|pries that form the nu
cleus of his entertainment. ” Be
sure to hear him, it will be a
treat.
