 The News has had quite a little run on job work the past two weeks, a thing we are very proud of. If there is anything we can do it is job work. Come and see our work. It speaks for itself. If we get your first order we are sure of all other future orders.
 We had the pleasure of meet ing c. ". McCrory this morning. He is here to see what can be done about building spur from Martin to his place. It is only two miles and the Ch0ctaw would do well to grant his request. It would also be a good thing for the merchants of Newport. Newport News.
 Compare the News to the other county papers and even to the average country papers publish led in the state and then come up with yoar troubles and give us a good "cussin. " And the News is a fair representation of the business men who cater to the wants of the people in McCrory and 1t is to their patronage the News owes it's success.
 Miss Fannie Jones left last Monday on the noon train for Oxford, Ohio, where she has ac- cepted a position as music teach CT in the popular college at that place. Miss Jones many friends hope for her Q pleasant and pro fita,ble term of school. The News will keep her posted on the local happenings of our county, she having handed us 8 round silver wheel to insure it's appearance just before taking leave for which we thank her.
 Josh Westhafer, of Loogootee, Ind, is a poor man, but he says he would not be without Cham berlain's Pain Balm if it cost five dollars bottle, for it saved him from being cripple. No external application is equal to this lini- ment for stiff and swollen joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck, sprains and rhumatic and mus cular pains. It has also cured numerous cases of partial pa> al ysis. 1t is for sale by Dr. J. B. Neal 0f McCrory and A. s. Thompson of DeView.
 It is hard to decide just how severe should be the punishment of Czolgosz, the cowardly viper who attempted the assination of President Mckinley at Buffalo last Friday. Whether the Presi- dent dies or recoyers, his assail- ant should be put to death. A liberal mixture of coal oil, fire and Czolgosz would be the most effec- tive way, and would better satis- fy the people. But it should not stop at tlis. The anarchists whose teachings promoted the wretch to commit his dastar1lv attack on the nation $ Chief Mag istrate, should go the same way.

l y in town last Monday.
 Lonnie Price of Ward, White county, came over Saturday and is visiting the family of Mrs. Sarah Bishop.
 Our friend c. F. Hamer who is located for the present at Cotton Plant, was in town Monday shak ing hands with his many friends.
 Wild Bill Evans is waking things up religiously at Smith vile. Some 50 or so conversions are reported Black Rock Blade.
 Last Monday Prof. W. W. Ba- ker who recently closed a term of school at Riverside was in Mo Crory. From here he went to Vandale on a business trip.
 L. c. Patterson our popular butcher now has @ dandy sign in front of his store telling the peo- pie what he has to sell. It is the work of our painter John T. O'Fallon and is good job.
 Our friend R. w. Stoker W ants us to inform the good people throughout the county that he had mess of fresh meat" for his dinner last Sunday. Bob is high liver and when he gets a half chance, sure puts it on heavy. We wonder what he'll do next.
 The front of Robt. s. Shirrod $ barber shop now has the U. s. regulation sign painted on the window and door casing. It now has a hot appearance to it. Robt. always has an eye to bushes and when he sees a chance of inn provement he most always takes advantage of it.
 We are informed by our broth CT Atty. F. c. Kramer who made trip to Grays last week, that the Choctaw Ky. is improving the looks of the platform and depot at Grays. This will be a blessing to the people there and will give them much better ac- commodation at the hands of the railway company.
 Ollie Gross, Buck Joyner, Harry Joyner and Marshal Thompson of Wiville came up to McCrory and spent Sunday among friends here. Sunday evening Harry Joyner and Mar shal Thompson returned to Wi vile, while the other three men, toned left on the Monday morn ing train for Wynne where they will take the Cotton Belt for 8 point above Wynne at which place they are at work.
 The man who will not help and encourage @ new enterprise springing up in his home, is a dead letter and drawback to the general welfare of the com munity he lives in. We have only a few for which we can be truly thankful. For a town it's size McCrory cannot be excelled by any town in the state. We don't believe that one-half oe the busi- ness done in McCrory is done in any other town it's size ill the state. No town its size has the push ahead, hustling, live busi- ness we have. A person has only to look over the columns of the News to see what kind of timber McCrory has.

The Beautiful Indian Territory.

In a few weeks more the Indian
Territory will be at its best. Al.
though the green prairies are heck-
ed with flowers of spring, and later
on they will be bathed in a wealth
of bloom and fragrance. Always
attractive and inviting. the Indian
Territory is at the zenith of its
beauty and in the early days of
May, its charms are irresistible.
Down in the Lone Star state the
people quote from the old Spanish
tradition that they who drink from
the BraZOs are free TO end their
days in Texas. Those who breathe
the balmy air of the Indian Terri
tory springtime are likewise fated
TO pass the years in this land of
perpetual bloom and fragrance.
They have no desire to leave it,
and depart only to return more in
love with it than eyer.-Ex.

DETECTIVES WERE GREEDY.
Alleged TO Have Charged for Mileage
when They Used Passes.

CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-Sensational allega-
lions OF corruption in the administration
of the Chicago detective bureau are made
in charges filed by Chief of Police O'Neil
with the c;vil-service commission here to-
day. Charges of conduct unbecoming an
officer are made against Detectives J. j..
Tracey and John Cramer and against
Lieutenant of Detectives Peter Joyce. The
last named officer is also accused of max
ing false reports. 1t is alleged that for
years detectives have made a "rake-on'
by turning in expenses for mileage when
they really used passes and for bringing
prisoners back from other States when
they really had not been out of town. In
Cramer's case the charges specify that for
expenses (really 500 ne returned an &C
count much larger. OF this Chief ONeul
