The best way to build up a city is for each and every man in it not to strive to rend and tear down. When 8 man in the town is doing well do not try to tear him down. All the residents of a town are partners not opponents. In all liklihood the more business done by your rival the more you will do. Every gentleman who treats his customer honestly, courteously and fairly, will get his share, and the more business that can be secured by united effort, the better it will be for all. When town ceases to grow it commences to die, and the more the people try to kill off each other in their business and good name, the more rapidly will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for the advancement of every cit izen. If q man shows ability to prosper do not pull him back with jealousy or weigh him down with cold influence.

OBITUARY

After four weeks illness caused from wound through the right breast, MT. Jno. D. Harris passed from this earthly taber- nacle to his immortal rest, last Thursday, Dec, 6, 1906.
 In this sad death a proficient, law-abiding citizen, good hus- band and sweet father has been removed from our midst.
 MT. Harris was especially noted as being a good financier, having acquired quite an amount of real estate. and personal property.
 Some:four weeks ago'on Saturday, Nov, 10, Mir. Harris, in trying to make an arrest upon one Cincin- natti Pearson, negro, was shot by the negro with a 38 pistol which sent a bullett through his body, afterwards causing pneu- monia, and later bringing death to his home.
 He was born in Oktibreha county, Miss, Nov, 13, 1865, and when boy came to this state, making his home at Mt. Vernon, in Faulkner county. Here he be- came acquainted with Miss Dora Parnell and afterwards was marri- ed to her. After a year of married life in the hills of Faulkner county, they moved to the bottoms in Woodruff county, near Greg ory's Point. Here they remained until in later years when he pur- chased the Jas. Melton farm some 3 miles south of DeView. In October, 1905, Mir. Harris purchas- ed lots in the north part of Me- Crory, and built upon same fine

Consider what the hen does when she is working, now that her strike season Is on and she clamors for rations. The market value of "Biddy" is about 50 cents and the value of her daily produce 2 cents, or one twenty-ffth part of her own worth. True, her career is short, but long enough for her to earn her value many times over, and that cannot be said of some in this world who have great pretensions to usefulness.
