\ school boy is said to have produced the following essay on the editor; Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff is printed. The men look over it to see If their names isn t in it, and women use it to put on shelves. l don t know howneWspaper men came into the world. The bible says nothing about editors and 1 guess the editor is the missing link them fellows talk about. The first editor 1 ever heard of was the fellow that wrote up the flood He has been here ever since. Some editors belong to the church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them are liars, at least all that 1 know, and don t know but one. Sometimes the paper dies, and the people are glad, but someone else starts it up again. Editors never went to school because they never got licked. Our paper is a mighty poor one, but we take it so ma can use it on our pantry shelves. Our editor don't amount to much but pa says he had a poor chance when he was a boy. He goes without underclothes in the win ter; wears no socks and has a wife to support him. Pa hash t paid his subscription in five years and says he don't aim to. At kins Chronicle.

KING LAKES PICNIC.

The people of McCrory enjay ed themselves hugely in a free for all picnic and fish fry at Kings Lake some three and a half miles northeast of our town last Tuesday.
 Quite a crowd was present and everyone had time.
 Among the numerous things that took place there we note the following, The young ladies went around in a body and requireda all present to take a pill, made of biscuit dough. After forcing the dough in the patients mouth water was given to wash it down. Some were docile as a lamb and took the dose like a little man, while some had to be forced be- fore partaking. All were much benefited by the medicine.
 Another thing was the sickness of white horse. The horse took a sudden spell of what is known as stomach troubles" !" and quite a number of the horse ologists" were called on to diag- nose the case. After a couclu- sion as to the ailment had been reached the proper medicine was administered and the animal was fully restored.
 Boat-rides, walks up and down the banks of the lake, fish ing, etc, constituted part of the days prog anne. The dinner was a grand success, fish, meats, cakes, office, tea, and everything good to eat, usually found at such place was there in great abundance. Everyone pitched in to help prepare the fish and fry them. No one tried to shove the work off on someone else and all worked in unison. It was a complete success.

Are the McCrory people sleep ing on their rights in regard to the removal of the court house to a centrally located place? Woodruff county needs a new and up-to-date court house, and she will get it. This is a settled fact. There are few of the voters of the county who live at Augusta who are in favor of building the court house there. This is nothing but natural. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Now the question is this, Are the people of the county, and they are almost unanimous in their opposition to having a court house in every corner of the county and in favor of removal of the county seat to more accessible and suitable place, going to sleep on their rights and allow a few who are interested only so far as their ti- nancial interests are concerned, and, who would sacrifice the people $ interests in order that their selfish and pecuniary mo- tives can be perpetrated?" We don t need a half a dozen court houses and district courts. What we want is one good court house in the center of the county. Let the people have a voice ln the matter and if they want one in each corner of the county and two or three extras in the center, we will say amen. What we want is the will of the people and not the dictum of a few. Wake up people, and demand your rights.

DOWIE AND DOWIENISM.

Alexander Dowie, the prophet who appeared first as Elijah him. self, second as John the Baptist, and who came to restore all things, made the most audacious ard crazy declarations last Sun day to an audience of 5000 peo- pie in the city of Chicago, in all his cratic and lunatic career.
 When he asked all of those who believed him to be Elijah in carnated to stand up" fully 5000 people as crazy as the Eli jah" himself arose and accepted his announcement. And this happened in free America.
 This is what Dowie says of Zion, a city established by him. self: Zion city is going to be God s city of righteousness. It will have no breweries, no gam bling hells, no houses of prosti tuition, no hog raising, selling, handling, no drug or tobacco shops, no hospitals or doctors offices, no theaters ordance halls, no secret lodges or apostate churches, no bad books, pictures or papers, nor any of the other curses or abominations which de- file the spirits, souls and bodies of men. Zion city will have Christian educational institu tions from the kindergarten to the college. It will have manuel training schools, Christian art painting sculpture, architecture; Christian music-vocal, instru- mental, choral; libraries, orphan ages, divine healinghomes, homes for the aged, homes for young men and homes for young women. And above all Zion City will have the great Zion Temple, seating at least 25,0O0 people, where multitudes will assemble to hear the everlasting Gospel preached in all it's fullness. The land in Zion City is purchasable by lots. It will be conveyed by lease only and not by deed. Leases will stand for a period not less than 1000 years. "

MONROE -COAlER.

The pleasant home of MT. and Mrs. Monroe, at Gregory Point, was the scene of nuptial cere- mony yesterday afternoon, June 12, 1901, wherein their daughter, Miss Sallie, was made the wife of Wilson Conner of near McCro- ry, one ofour most worthy young men.
 The wedding was a quiet one, and attended by only few inti- mate friends of the immediate family. Much interest and GU riosity has been felt in the event, however, for sometime, by the many friends of the young cou- pie, and the anticipated nuptials furnished abundant food for comment yesterday and last night, as is usually the case when such an occurrence takes place.
 The sacred words that united the twain for veal or woe were spoken by Rev. $. l.. Cochran. Among those from distance at tending the ceremony were, Mir. Will Gray of Grays, and c. R. Atkinson of McCrory.
 Mr. and Mrs. Conner are now housekeeping on the Conner place north of town. The News joins the many friends Of these hap py young persons-the bride a charming young lady, gifted with queenly graces and a noble heart, and the groom worthy young man, fully deserving the prize he has won-in wishing them much pleasure and a bonvoyage.

"BiG FOUR" DINNER.
The Sports of the Town and their nascot, the Dorg, Enjoyed Themselves With
 Sumptuoas Turkey Dinner

A AlOlIS OIlS NdI@CuS lHSuuUIOllS springing up in McCrory, per haps the Big Four" as it is pop ularly known is now the talk of the town. It is a private club of bachelors. The Big Four" is comprised of Will Wilder, boss; Dave Burkett, bosser; Bob Smith, bossest; John Emerson, more boss. Rufe Mitchell is em- ployed by the boys as the cook cry" In the rear of Vaccaro & Wilder's saloon is the scene of this club" whose presiding genius, Rufe Mitchell, is a marvel of ingenuity and culinary skill. No queen was ever more loyalty obeyed than this short haired maiden, and no soverign ever enjoyed more thoroughly the ruling of her subjects. The boys bring the eatables and "the short-haired girl" does the rest, she also mixes connections not found within the cover of any work on the culinary art
 The Big Four" rendered a sumptious banquet to their guests last Sunday. The follow ing persons were in attendance: Gale Patterson, Ed Gatlin, Sam Kyle, Col. W. H. Flynn, Capt. Bob Smith, Will Wilder, Henry Cariker, John Jimerson, Elvis Kidd, Jurd McCrory, Clay Gray, Joseph Crossett, Will Raney, Rufe Mitchell, Louin. Cole, J. A. Phillips, Dave Burkett, the writer and the little doggy.
 The table was set par excel lence and while not an unusually elaborate menu was served there was quite a variety and every thing was put up in an appatiz- ing manner.
 The feasting was interspersed with refreshments, and several addresses were made-Clay Gray gave a short one on Craps and Crap-shooters." His ideas were not altogether in unison with others and a discussion of "passes" followed. We think they all won in the debate which was indulged in.
 Jurd McCrory spent most of his time looking for thin glass. Now, we are innocent or ignor- ant of what was wanted with this particular kind, he perhaps wanted to do the juggling act.
 The gentleman from Cork" was greatly abused, being thrown around promiscuously, and it took the three porters and the cook steen minutes to gather to- gether his scattered remains.
 Louin Cole said he once ate a meal in a restaurant, but it was nothing compared to the Big Four" turkey spread.
 Ed Gattlin ate so much he has been trying to work it off ever since.
 It was an evening long to be remembered by all present. The turkey was a present to the boys from our friend Marshall Patter- son, and in this connection it is but right to mention that the cooking of the turkey was under the supervision of Mrs. J. A. Phillips, and for which the boys thank her very much.
 The dog that attended the banquet wasn't the circus, he was only the side show, however, he was all lthere and ate in a man ner peculiar to himself. While eating he took the turkey easy" laying down during his repast. There was turkey below the dog. turkey above the dog, turkey all around the dog. He was strict ly in ii" when it came to turkey.
 Everyone in attendance had a L. l.,
