THREE FOOLS.
There was once a business naan who failed
To win the longed-for prize
Of riches and prosperity.
He did not advertise.
There was a lover once who died
Quite wretched, I suppose.
Because all through life he was
Too bashful to propose.
There was another man whose ways
His neighbors greatly pained.
Because he didn’t know enough
To go in when it rained.
All three were fools, but worst of all,
To everybody's eyes,
Was he who was a business man.
And did not adversise.—Ex.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
In speaking of a person’s faults.
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with houses of glass
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But to talk of those who sin,
’Tis better we commence at home,
A nd from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man.
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company.
We know the world is wide.
Some have their faults—and who has not!
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may. for aught we know,
Have lit ty to their one.
I’ll tel! you of a better plan,
AndHnd it works full well.
To try my own defects to cure.
Before of others tell:
And tliouith I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some I know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe.
Think of the harm one word may do.
To those who little know.
Remember curses, something like
Our chickens, “roost at home;''
Don’t speak of others’ faults until
We have none of our own.
The above is a poem Wilder
i Kyle & Co., had the News to
j print on some cards. If every
j one will take heed thereto this
j world will be far better. There
j is nothing so distasteful to sister
j Nancy than one of these things,
whether it wears pants or what
not, that is all the time going
around telling evil things about
people true or false. What good
they intend with such tales God
almighty cannot divine, But
tell everything, they must.
While the old lady Nancy does
not give a continental about the
remarks of such people concern
ing herself, yet for the sake of
humanity and the good of the
race, people should ask them
selves these questions, is it true
or false? If it is true, what good
will I or onyone else derive from
telling these things? If no good
can come from it, bad is the only
chance. Let us turn the search
light of true inspection on our
own hearts and see how we
stand. If the people will study
and appropriate the poem to
their daily conduct, Wilder Kyle
& Co., will have done more good
for this community than ten
thousand-tell-tales slanderers
will do, if they live until the roll
of eternal ages ceases. Our sa
loon men deserve a great deal of
credit for the manner in which
they are managing their saloon
this year. It is a hundred per
cent improvement on last year’s:
management. Some of these
tatlers will no doubt say, “well
Miss Nancy has an ax to grind.”
For the benefit of such, wq will
say that we are Iboking the sub
ject right in the face from aliber
al standpoint unbiased and un
prejudiced and whatever we say
or write comes from a free man
I and not a slave.
TEXAS LETTER.
Honey Grove, Texas,
May, 26th, 1902.
Mr. Editor:
McCrory, Ark.
Dear Sir: If you will allow me
a little space in the grand little
j News, I will say a few words
; about Texas’ crops. Crops of
! all kinds are as line as a man
I could desire, all except oats. Cot
i ton has about all been chopped.

We buy and sell horses. Careful

Riggs & Walker, McCrory, Ark
has plenty of squares. The
farmers are laying by their corn.
Corn is now in tassel and never
was there a better prospect for
good crops. Gardens are fine.
Cotton chopping is very high as
hands are scarce. Farmers are
paying from $1. to 1.25 per day.
(Will say, if you have any goods
box whittlers, send, them out, if
they will work, they can earn
$125 per day and grub thrown
in.
Just here, I want to tell my
old Woodruff county friends, if
they think it never rains in Tex
as, they are badly mistaken. We
have had plenty rain all spring.
It rained on May, 14th, 16th and
18th. I never saw a harder rain.
It was too wet to plow for twelve
days.
We are pleased to see you have
a correspondent at DeView. It
is like a letter from home-folks.
We hope he or she will write up
old DeView each week. (The
editor vdll certainly appreciate
to hear from our DeView corres
pondent weekly.) I will say to
the DeView correspondent, that
as far as pretty women, if he
had been with me at the reunion |
at Dallas he would have seen the
prettiest women the sun ever
shown on; some of them were
from old Arkansas too. I saw
300 pretty ladies, as ever lived,
dancing at one time and each

lady had a partner and as Bill
Evans said, “Ain’t that a sight?”
I did not see all that your devil
said he saw, but my little boy
said Walter sure saw those
things for he and Walter were to
gether at times. I saw a man 30
inches high and one 7 feet 7 b inch
es tall. We had to look up at him.
Dallas did all she promised to do
for the old veterans and more
too. They were fed well and
that was good enough for a king.
Good tents, cots and blankets to
sleep on; all free. The crowd
was immense. If you were in
the city, you would think there
was no one at the fair grounds.
Go to the fair grounds, and you
would be confident, everyone
had left the city. It was this
way from Monday until Friday.
I left Friday morning before the
buffaloes were barbecued, but
they were. I regret to hear of
my old veterans saying they
were not treated well. Every
thing was done to make the old
boys pleasant. Officers and com
mittees were just as nice as men
could be. I often thought they
had the patience of Jobe. The
crowd was so large, and many
asked many simple questions.
As for the fence-posts, my
friend speaks of in your paper,
will say as he knows something
about the third post. So I did
all I could to find out how long
the third post would last. The
best information, I could obtain
on the subject was from an old
man. I suppose he was 80 or 90
years old. He said the posts
they use in Texas were everlast
ing. He also hoped that the
county seat ring, that had been
bursted would never be able to
reorganize until the third post
was gone. (Of course, there are
no such rings in Arkansas.) The
people broke up one here last
Saturday at the primary. Of
course, they were only partly
successful. I hope this will sat
isfy my friend at DeView. If he
will come out here, he can see
for himself; see the pretty crops
and country. You can’t find
prettier women anywhere than
here. Yours truly,
J. S. Haggard.

We had a nice rain Thursday
night and every one is happy.
All you girls ask Charlie T.
how the game of Yankee dime is
played.
Some one please tell us why
the singing over at Revel is so
attractive.
Mrs. W. V. Angelo and Mrs.
H. H. Holder went visiting in
McCrory Thursday.
Mrs. Barber and children of
Tip were in our town shopping
the first of this week.
Quite a large -.crowd attended
our ice cream supper and every
one seemed to have a lovely time.
We are going to have another
Gypsy tea at N. J. Hays’ mill in
I the near future. Everybody in
vited to join us.
I ''
Miss Lena Holland of near
McCrory was in our town this
week and called on Miss Mamie
i Grentliam. .?
Mrs. H. L. Strickland and
Miss Ila Stewart were visiting
in Augusta Thursday the guest
of Mrs John Revel.
Someone ask Dr. Waldrop
what that was he was trying to
hide from the girls the night of
the moonlight picnic.
|
Miss Jessie Blackwell paid the
milliner store a call Thursday
and of course Mr. Gowan had
business over there at once.
A number of our young peo
ple enjoyed a moonlight picnic at
Martin Junction one evening last
week. They report a lovely time.
Mrs. May King and Miss Lil
lie Martin of Howell were visit
ing in Grays this week the guest
of Mrs. H. L, Strickland and
Mrs. Ola Ste>vart.

OAKS, ARKANSAS.
We have a nice post office at
this place and can any one tell us
why a certain young man posts
a letter at the millinery store
most every Saturday.
Mr. Horace Gowan says he
really must have someone to love
and if any one will just say the
word he will sure be her sun
flower. Now, girls don’t all speak
at once.
Mr. Will Melton of Augusta
was in our town Sunday trans
acting business. He must have
been very successful for we are
told he looked supremely happy
and went away whistling “only
one girl.”
One of our young ladies failed
to attend the reunion at Dallas
this year as expected, neverthe
less she and a prominent young
man of Texas are going to have a
re-union of their own in the near
future. Everyone guess who, ,.
Mr. Horace Gowan has given
our millinery store a new name.
He says it should be called “the
court house” for when any one
has a serious case on hand, they
always carry it over there and it
is usually decided in favor of a
ring. We don’t know whether
Miss Mamie is a judge or not,
but we do know that she is one
of the most pleasant little ladies
it has ever been our lot to meet
and we don’t wonder that all the
people like to gather there.
Mr. J. H. Wood, of DeView,
came up last Saturday and with
the spirit of the good Samaritan
handed us the where-with-all to
apply on our board bill. If others
will do likewise and we pray they
will, we can soon liquidate afore
said bill. Come to our help. Res
cue the perishing.

TAX ON BABIES.
Extreme hot weather is a great
tax upon the digestive power of
babies; when puny and feeble
they should be given a few doses
of White’s Cream Vermifuge,
the childrens’ tonic. It will
stimulate and facilitate the di
gestion of their food, so that
they soon become strong, healthy
and active. 25c at Dr. J. B. Neal.
CONSTIPATED BOWELS.
To have good health, the body
should be kept in a laxative con
dition, and the bowels moved at
least once a day, so that all the
! poisonous wastes are expelled
daily. Mr. G. L. Edwards, 142
N. Main St., Wichita, Kansas,
writes: “I have used Ilerbine to
! regulate the liver and bowels for
the past ten years', and found it a
reliable remedy. 50c at Dr. J.
B. Neal.
