While one Doctor passes along the streets of our city with his best girl, another stands behind the door and says, Tt looks mighty cloudy but it is not going to rain" " This world certainly do move.
 If you are in need of letter. heads, note-heads, hill-heads, statements, envelopes, or any thing usually found in an up-to- date country newspaper office give us a call. We are prepared to do all kinds of printing. Do not forget it.
 Our town has little genius who showed off" some of his extra ordinary talent to the many peo-
 
 pie who were on our streets iaSt Saturday, It was curious and amusing sight and at the same time drew forth wonder and com ment. The object of wonder was our little friend Luther Jones as tride of the Luther Jones" bicy- Gle for which he has now patent pending. It belongs to the chain less and at the same time peda- less variety, and this is whereon Luther basis his success as a pa tentee. He says when you want to enjoy good ride on his bicy- Gle all you have to do is to start the thing along by giving your foot a kick and then keep kick ing" Of course the best kicker makes the best headway. While one must exert himself a little more on Luther's wheel than any of the other similar machines and while the speed is not as fast, the sport is greatly enhanced or increased by the attraction the rider and his machine creates. Great is the mind of young America when he wants wheel and he usually gets one even if he has to convert a little lex press" wagon into the object of his desire. Luther says when the attractable features of his bicycle have disappeared he then will convert the machinism of the wheel into an automobile and later an air-ship. His friends have much faith in the young in ventor and wish him success,

On last Sunday the people of M cCrory had the pleasure of hearing Dr, ,Godby, editor of the Arkansas Metho dist published at Little Rock, in two of his very interesting and instructive ser mons. Quite a large congrega- tion attended both the morning and evening services, some con- ing up from DeView, Wyville, and other neighboring towns to hear the Dr. In the afternoon he delivered a sermon at Fake s Chapel to fair sized audience. Dr. Godby is an excellent speak CT and never fails to draw a crowd to hear him expound re- igion. In this connection we must speak a few words of praise for the excellent manner in which the pulpit was decorat- ed. Beautiful flowers were placed in such a manner around the speaker as to add much to the beauty and purity of the ser mons.
 In speaking of Ralph Bingham and his entertainment, the pas tor of the Presbyterian church at Mariana, Arkansas, has the following to say: Now I wish to say that I never saw an audi ence in this town so completely captured as they were by the performance of MT. Bingham last night. while we had been prepared by published testimo- nials, and by personal experience on the part of some of our peo- pie who had heard Ralph atother places, to expect something par ticularly good, we had not ex- pected anything so perfect in it's way. The half had not been told. I must say that you are altogether too modest in your advertising matter. Ralph is in my judgment, not only the peer, but easily the superior of any man on the platform today. And this is but the echo of what I have heard on every hand this morning. Don't fail to hear at Wherry's Hall Saturday night.

 Among the enterprising men of out city worthy of emulation none has attracted our admira- ration more than our pastor, $. l.. Cochran. In the winter of 1900 Brother Cochran was trans ferred to this charge. At that time we had no parsonage, it having burned to the ground year or two previous. Since Brother Cochran has been with us he has labored earnestly and zealously in the Savior's vinyard. The church building has been nicely painted through his able management and it has improved the looks of our town considera- bly,. Not only did he cause this to be done but at the very eve of the conference, when he did not know whether he would be re- turned to this charge or not, he undertook the erection of a large and commodious building to be used as parsonage-the home of the pastor. Never has the writer known a minister who would humble himself as has Brother Cochran by taking off his coat and manfully using the saw and hatchet, working all the week and delivering from two to three sermons on the Sabbath day. The people of McCrory should be proud of such a preach CT.
