THE BULL FIGHT. "

The latter part of last week our friends John Shearer and Major J. B. Dent left for near Clover Bend, Arkansas. to attend what these gentlemen term a ''bull-fght," which took place at the home of F. w. Tucker. MT. Shearer on being asked if he en- joyed himself while gone said,
 By George, we had a fine time. Fuckers place is out ways from the railroad and there were hacks to receive us and take us out to the fight, and when we came back home they brought us back to the railroad in hacks. As soon as we arrived the fight began. We had everything good to eat and drink. Everything to drink from fresh beer on ice to the best champaign" He says the way they fought it, ;" (alluding to the bull-fght) was enough to raise a common school boy to the senate. From the looks of his eyes and countenance in toto, we are led to believe that MT. Shearear did not shift his part of the fight on someone else but undoubtedly he was always in the thickeSt of the affray.
 We haven t seen the Major or even heard of him, and have al- most come to the conclusion that he must have been shot, provid- ing any shots passed during the encounter. As we were not there, we can not speak of this as one with authority; and if we had we would have been so actively engaged looking after our own neck that we wouldn't have noticed him.
 One thing is dead sure the fight was easily won by the men present, composed of some 12 or 15 good fighters, personal and intimate friends of MT. Tucker from various parts of the state. It has been the custom of MT. Tucker for a umber of years to invite these friends to a kind of reunion, at each of which he has proven himself the quintessence of hospitality and brotherly love. It was replete with success.

Dr. Harrison of For dyce, Ark, was a visitor in our little city last week.
 Miss Jessamine Perrin of Batesville who will be at the helm of the McCrory school dur ing the coming session arrived here last Monday. She is a pleas ant and agreeable lady and will no doubt make @ success of the school.
 Hamilton Riggs and Joseph Crossett made a trip to Howell last Sunday. On the way there they met the B. 6 B. train at which the boys became very much frightened, likewise the horse. But Joseph, being equal to the occasion got out and shoo'd the train on. Then tran guilty reigned supreme.
 Last Saturday, September IA, 1901, a big, bouncing boy baby arrived at the home of MT. and Mrs. W. J. Marsh of Wiville. It was 9-pounder and so much confidence has our friend Will in the future greatness and present capability of his son that he has already entrusted all his busi- ness affairs to him. Mother and babe are doing well while Will has gone fishing.
 The city council of Jonesboro at recent meeting passed an ordinance punishing persons who appear on the streets of the city in a drunken condition, in a fine of any sum not exceeding five dollars. This is a good measure. If a man wants to get drunk that's his business. But people who are opposed to such carryings-on should not have to carry the burden of it by being annoyed by their disgusting con- versation and conduct.
 Charlie Cook, our progressive and enterprising grOceryman has erected private telephone line from his store to the McCro- ry Cotton Company gin and ii he deesn't wait on you with the punctuality that he is so gifted with, at the present, you may know he is talking to his new phone. He says it's alright. This makes three private phone lines for McCrory one running from the Fakes Mercantile establish ment to the home of Fletcher Lewis and the other running be tween pr. l.. A. Jelk's office to Mrs. Malone's home. This in conjunction with the telephone exchange to be put up here in the very near future will cause McCrory to take on a cosmopoli- tan appearance.
