OBITUARY
After a four weeks’ illness
caused from a wound through the
right breast, Mr. Jno. D. Harris
passed from this earthly taber
nacle to his immortal rest, last
Thursday, Dec., 6, 1906.
Iu this sad death a proficient,
law-abiding citizen, a good hus
band and a sweet father has been
removed from our midst.
Mr. Harris was especially noted
as being a good financier, having
acquired quite an amount of real
estate, and personal property.
Somcjfour weeks ago'on Saturday,
Nov., 10, Mr. Harris, in trying to
make an arrest upon one Cincin
natti Pearson, a negro, was shot
by the negro with a 38 pistol
which sent a bnllett through his
body, afterwards causing pneu
monia, and later bringing death to
his home.
He was born iu Oktibreha
county, Miss., Nov., 13, 1865, and
when a boy came to this state,
making his home at Mt. Vernon,
in Faulkner county. Here he be
came acquainted with Miss Dora
!Parnell and afterwards was marri
ed to her. After a year of married
life in the hills of Faulkner
county, they moved to the bottoms
in Woodruff county, near Greg
ory’s Point. Here they remained
until in later years when he pur
chased the Jus. Melton farm some
3 miles south of DeView. In
October, 1905, Mr. Harris purchas
ed lots in the north part of Mc
Crory, and built upon same a fine
two-story residence and moved
his family here at which place he
had the pleasure of living until he
died. To this union were born 8
children, four boys and four girls,
seven of whom survive him.
He pi’ofessed religeon about
eight years ago, but since then had
wandered away from his church’s
requirements. He told his wife,
that had he been killed instantly
when he was shot he might have
been lost but just befoi'e
death came, he informed her that
he was ready to die and believed
that he was saved.
The funeral services were con
ducted at the family residence, by
Rev. H. T. Raney, and were con
cluded at the Odd Fellow’s ceme
tery under the auspices of
the Woodmen of the World.
Consider what the hen does
when she is working, now that her
strike season is on and she clamors
for rations. The market value of
“Biddy” is about 50 cents and the
value of her daily pi-oduee 2 cents,
or one twenty-fifth part of her own
worth. True, her career is short,
but long enough for her to earn
her value many times over, and
that cannot be said of some in this
world who have great pretensions
to usefulness.

People, do not place confidence
in the many rumors that are con
stantly flying about upon the
streets. You can help us run
down all rumors by giving in all
the particulars of all local happen

The best way to build up a city
is for each and every man in it not
to strive to rend and tear down.
When a man in the town is doing
well do not try to tear him down.
All the residents of a town are
partners not opponents. In all
liklihood the more business done by
your rival the more you will do.
Every gentleman who treats his
customer honestly, courteously and
fairly, will get his share, and the
more business that can be secured
by united effort, the better it will
be for all. When a town ceases to
grow it commences to die, and the
more the people try to kill off each
other in their business and good
name, the more rapidly will utter
ruin come to all. Stand together
for the advancement of every cit
izen. If a man shows ability to
prosper do not pull him back with
jealousy or weigh him down with
cold influence.

grand stand play and tell the ed
itor how a paper should be run
and what should be put into it.
But such people are becoming few
er every year.
There are some things that must
be done in a hurry, or not at all.
Catching a flea is one of the best
examples apropos to this. But as
a rule, it is safe to say, the man or
woman who works deliberately ac
complishes the most. The delib
erate worker is the thoughtful
worker, with whom the habit of
system has become second nature
Any one may cultivate it who will
take the trouble to try; and the
most unsystematic, spasmodic
worker will realize with amaze
ment how eazy it is to get through
with an allotted task in half the
time it formerly required, by
planning it all out before entering
the office, workshop or kitchen.
“In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth and all
things therein. He then created
man and woman and left the loaf
ers on the corners, and in due
time they multiplied and then
spread into postofflces and depots
and in the stores. In these places
they sit and explain state aud
national problems that have vexed
great minds. While he is thus
engaged his wife is out w*4iug
for her neighbors, and the poor
helpless children are left at home
taking care of themselves as bed,
they can. There is nothing more
noticeable than loafers” T
