It will require a majority of all

To McCrory.
Of all the places on this spere
The dearest one is this one
here.
McCrory is a dandy town,
Without it, che world would
cease to go ’round.
The girls are pretty and sweet
" as can be.
When the boys come
’round, they sigh, “Oh.
Me!”
The young men are handsome,
witty and nice,
And taking girls to The
Ice Cream Parlor seems
their greatest delight.
The old folks are friendly and
meek,
And believe in church going
three times a week.
The children are noisy and sweet,
For making noise, they can’t
be beat.
I here is a good school right on
the square,
If you want to learn lots,
you'd better go there.
There are many other things I
could say.
But will put it off ’til anoth
er day.

by daily toil states that he is
willing for his home to be taxed
for the purpose of building the
proposed rock road. If some of
the fellows “higher up” were as
progressive and enterprising as
Mr. Carter and numerous other
smaller property owners, the
road question would be settled
and all united for just such mo
dern and needed improvements
as the rock road will be.
