ceived a letter of invitation from
Dr. John Jelks of Memphis,
Tenn., to be present at the

Dr. will be raised to the sublime
degree of a master mason. We
are proud of the success attained
by the doctor. He was reared
in old Woodruff county and when
but a lad, he took a fancy to the
profession of medicine. He rais
ed himself from the daily work
of the farm and cotton gin by
degrees to that of a physician.
He at one time used the room
now used for the News office
while here practicing medicine.
He then moved to Memphis
where he is well known as a
specialist, Why can’t other
Woodruff bounty boys do as
well? Everybody is proud of
such a nifen. He is an honor to
his parents" and friends and a
credit to the community in which
he was retired. Such men de
serve hortiage at the hands of all.
A new and complete line of
Snag proof Rubber Boots, shoes,
Slickers and umbrellas, any
thing and everything to keep you
dry. Come and see my stock.

spected young ladies, left the

Happiness depends very much
on the condition of the iitfer and
kidneys. The ills of life make
but little impression on those
whose digestion is good. You
can regulate your liver and kid
neys with Herbine and enjoy
health and buoyancy of spirits.
Price 50c. Sold by Dr. Neal.
H. McParlane of Chicago, was
in town Friday in connection
with an investment tour. Mr.
McFarlane is an old friend of
John Shearer of our town, and
having business dealings to look
after in the northeastern part of
the state a desire to see his his
old-time friend caused him to
make an extra spin over to Mc
Crory and pay him a visit.
This whistling for crossings
etc., is a very unbusinesslike and
ungentlemanly sport. Suppose,
some house were to burn in
town or some store was being
robbed arid someone would at
tempt to give the alarm by shoot
ing. No one would heed to the
call. Because every citizen is
becoming so accustomed to tire
popping of the popper that very
little attention is given it. Yet,
business men should cease to in
dulge in such dangerous practic
es; for the safety of their pro
perty whether have the good
name of a town at heart or not.
On the night of October 31 is
the eve of All Saint’s or All Hal
low’s Day, commonly called Hal
loween and is quite extensively
observed by the people of our
country. Much is said of the or
igin of this superstitious observ
ance. In early years it was be
lieved that fairies or ghosts, and
supernatural beings ruled over
all the earth. Along with this
supernatural belief existed the
belief that it was dangerous for
people to be out on this evening
as they were liable to be set up
on by demons. Thus it became
customary for large companies
of friends to 6pend the evening
togather on this fateful night.
In olden timesthese partiesgath
ered at the fireside and spent the
evenings drinking eider cracking
nuts and eating apples. But as
civilization lias advanced this
superstition has been abandoned
1.o a great extent. Halloween is
observed to this day by old and
young in playing pranks and
having parlies.
W. M. Taylor made a business
trip to Wynne Friday.
—“Silas Moore Whiskey” is
pure and wholesome. For fami
ly or medicinal use it has no
equal; Sold by Cook & Cariker.
Our efficient barber, Robert S.
Shirrod, took in the show last
Wednesday night. He said he
knew of one youug man that had
a time. If you want to know who
it was, ask the barber.
After December 1, 1901 the
postal cards will be changed in
appearance. The new design will
have the head of the late Presi
dent McKinley on it, with the
year of birth and the year of
death imrnediatey at the left and
right respectively of McKinley’s
name which will appear under
the bead. Above the head will
be “series of 1901” and over
that “one cent”. “The inscrip
tion United States of America”
will be placed at a poiut lower
down.
.Quite a number of McCrory
people went to Augusta last
Wednesday to take in Campbell
Bros. show. Augusta entertain
ed more people on that day than
have been there for quite a while.
People were there from all over
the county and during almost the
entire day the streets were lined
with a motley crowd, the African
predominating by a fair margin.
The show did not arrive in Au
gusta until afternoon, and quite
a number of people who came 40
miles to see the free street
parade returned home without
even seeing it, having contented
themselves looking at the pic
tures. The parade took place at
about 4:30, after which the cir- j
cus began. In the rear end of j
the parade were Bob Smith and
Elmo Carter, riding alongin their
buggy as if they owned the en
tire show. Bob told some of his
friends, on the quiet, that they
were figuring on buying the
show and bringing it over to Mc
Crory. A hand-car party con
sisting of Sam Kyle, M. Toole,
Joseph Crossett, HamiltonRiggs,
and a number of other pushers,
also shot out of MeCrory
and the shots rang out on the
air a cornin’ and agoin’. It takes
all kind of people to make a world
but just what pleasure men, who
otherwise know how to act the
gentlemen, find in such repro
bating maneuvers we don’t know.
Hugh Shearer, Byron Walker,
Galen McMurtry, Clyde and Ed
gar Matthews and our “devil”
all went to see the clown and the
monkey. These young Ameri
cans could not find a place in the
town of Augusta to sweetly
slumber, at least they did not do
so. They came to the depot at
New* Augusta and there awaited
the arrival of the morning train.
These boys had enbibed so much
of show life w’hile at the circus,
that they immediately converted
| the railroad property into a
1 grand amphitheater. Some who
saw the performances of these
boys, say that it eclipsed the
show of Campbell Bros. They
performed everything from what
is nsually seen in a ten cent
side-show up to the great per
formances of Rip Van Winkle by
Joe Jefferson and Faust by Mor
risson. As the.train pulled into
McCrory, the bbys had not fin
ished the show and as Mr. Ball,
the conductor, is a great admir
er of skill, he had the boys to
perform for his special benefit
all the way from New Augusta to
McCrory. Mr. Ball was well
pleased and praised the boys to
the skies. He told the boys he
might get up a rail-road show to
take the rounds next year and in
the meantime for the' boys to be
practicing on their various feats.
This the boys are doing, You
can see trapeze at nearly every
home in town.

Stricken With Paralysis.
Henderson Grimett, of this
place, was stricken with partial
paralysis and completely lost the
use of one arm and side. After
being treated by an eminent
physician for quite a while with
out relief, my wife recommend
ed Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and
after using two bottles of it he is
almost entii’ely cured.—Geo. R.
McDonald, Man, Logan county,
W. Va. Several other very re
markable cures of partial paraly
sis have been affected by the use
of this liniment. It is most
widely known, however, as a
cure for rheumatism, sprains
and bruises. Sold by Dr. J. B.
