TWO CRONIES.
their lives.

LOuin Cole and Joseph CrOS- sett, two "dead game sports" of McCrory, are very anxious that their names appear in print in each issue of the News and being of a pleasant disposition they say that they don't care whether it appears in connection with a horse race, or free-for-all fight. They recently informed us that if they couldn't do anything bad enough to create any excitement or good enough to cause com ment as to their heroic actions for column writeup, they would write an article which would mention them even if they had to pay for it. They have just re- ceived the terms and at present are figuring as to whether they want to use the entire space each week or only one page. We hope they will soon decide. Their actions if minutely chronicled would no doubt make interesting reading matter, and a volumn could be written weekly of their doings, providing the volumn was not too large.
 MT. Cole holds the champion ship of the county for waiting longest between thinks. There is no man between Kootenai and Galveston who can wait as long between thinks as MT. Cole, but MT. Cole never boasts of this. A great many times when peo- pie think MT. Cole is thinking he is not thinking at all, but just joshing. He was born some 22 years since and is still alive. There is only one thing the mat ter with Louin, he will howell about things whether there is cause for it or not, but that is his failing and he can't help it.
 Joseph Crossett, like all great men, has his failings. A game of football, baseball, or a prize fight is liable to catch him. The fact that his trousers are at times rolled up at the bottom does not indicate that it is rain ing in London, but that he has bought a new pair and is waiting for them to bag at the knees. There is no one, not even Louin, who can beat Joseph howell ing" Joseph's range is very good and any old place will do to howl. Sometimes he indulges in this at river side and some times on the railroad. He makes trips every once in a while to neighboring towns, but that's This business. ''

WOODRUFF COUNTY
AND HER HUNTERS

Joe Rocks and W. M. Mat thews two of McCrory's crack hunters went after squirrels last Thursday and returned with a large bunch" of them. They get game too when they go after it. Great is Woodruff county. Hunters born in the woods of Woodruff county are of few days and full of fish stories. If his friend can tell larger one than he, he lieth awake all night in his vain endeavers to excell.
 In early youth when his brain is yet very ''mushy" he hideth himself on a dark corner of the street, and when he findeth everybody about asleep, including the "preserver of peace," he raiseth hell for about steen sec Onds with a small sized, rapid firing canon, and when the worthy marshall who looks after the welfare of the good citizens is finally aroused, he maketh long steps for his home and en- tereth the house from the rear, while the worthy marshal look eth in vain for the miscreant and playeth hide-and- d-seek with him. self in his futile attempts at en- forcing the law.
 In later years some go forth half shot and are brought back to their dear little wife by one of his good neighbors in his dog cart-shot. He hunteth, fisheth and fooleth around about nine tenths of his miserable existence starting out about half-past two in the morning and returning about nine o'clock in the night accompanied by anything from an armful of woodpeckers to a couple of tame turkeys.
 Yea his life is as uncertain as the Arkansas legislature or the county courthouse, and his wife knoweth neither the hour nor the minute of his returning, and contents herself punching the fire so that when the hunter re- turns he may help himself to a good, strong cup of coffee with which to steady his nerves, while his wife listens to the latest fish story.
 He riseth up in the night to drive his neighbor's COW out of his garden and it takes all the doctors in the county nine days to pick the buckshot out of her carcass.
 He goeth forth with his gun and gum boots and usually re- turns with them.
 Great is Woodruff county and greater are her hunters.

Public School Notes.

a new pupil, Wilbur Elliott was
enrolled this week.
Mr.. J. f. Morse, Revs. Hageman
and Osman were among our visitors
last week.
Two very wide awake literary soci-
cites have been organized, to look
after the rhetorical work of the high
school, the Webster society and the
Excelsior society. Both divisions are
taking active interest, and good ma
tured rivalry is promised as to which
will give the best programs.
Examinations this week have kept
the high school classes renewing ac-
quaintanee with past lessons.
FOURTH RooM-Anss ATCHIsoN.
Visitors are always welcome espec-
tally parents of pupils in this room.
a number of landscape pictures
have recently been put up in this
room which are beneficial to the pu-
pills as a study, and serve as decora-
tions.
Since announcement was made at
the close of the first month that pu-
pills who fell below a scholarship of
10, and did not make an average of
80, counting scholarship and deport-
ment each one half, there has been a
decided change. The majority of the
pupils having settled down to close
study, showing determination to go
forward instead of backward.
Unless a little more care is exer-
cised by both parents and pupils con-
corning hardness, this room will not
claim "Old Glory" next month. Many
have been tardy who it seems can
have but little excuse aside from be-
ing started from home too late. In
such cases the pupil is not wholly to
blame, if at all, and it is hoped there
will be fewer cases. of hardness next
month.
The written tests which are frequ-
emily submitted to the pupils of fifth
and sixth grades certainly have tend
ency to not only make better daily
grades, but more firmly impress upon
their minds the knowledge gained.
Half learned lessons slip from the
memory like icicles from the deck''

Yes. We stopped Tlle P-ess.

We held the foEmS open until
1I:45 on Wednesday morning to get
the result OF commissioner in the 3rd
district, and all the townships being
heard from except Walnut, Crystal
and Sumner, gave Hartzog thirty
seven in the lead. we concluded that
Hartz cog had been elected. On re
turning from dinner we stopped at
the courthouse and found that the
three TOWNSHIP ps in question had been
heard from, which gave John Hage-
man, the peoples party candidate, a
majority of eight which elected him
commissioner. Royce came out last
evening with a great brawl in his
Dispatch, saying that the HERALD
had printed one-third of its edition
stating that Hartzog was elected and
that the copies were mailed to the
subscribers. This S a falSehood I!
There were not to exceed twelve. cop
les printed and special care was taken
not to mail any of these to SubscriS-
ers, but there was one copy given to
a friend and one of Royce'S IackieS
Swiped it and went on the run to the
courthouse where Royce was recover
ing from the shocking defeat that he
and his man, Hartzog, met. But the
statement made by the Dispatch is
about as near the truth as the "hor-
ored gentleman" usually gets, any
way.
Oh yes, Mr.. Royce, we are always
on the lookout for the latest news for
our readers, but we never yet stopped
our press to write column article Of
abuse in answer to another paper in
the city, printed on the same day.
