McCrory, Woodruff County, met
in this city yesterday, Thursday,
afternoon. Attorney Geo. A.
Burr of Paragould and Engineer

factory.
The district embraces a por-
ton of Cross, Jackson and Wood

the Poinsett County line south to
the Iron Mountain Railroad in
Woodruff county. 1t covers
about As, 900 acres and the main
ditch will be about Is miles in
length and the removal of about
200, 900, 900 cubic yards of earth
will be required to dig the main
ditch and it's laterals. The main
ditch, it is proposed. will be
from 60 to 70 feet wide at the
bottom with an average depth of
ten feet. The four laterals will
be from four to IL feet wide on
the bottom ana from four to six
feet deep.
Construction will begin about
Nov. l. AS this district was
only organized in April, the
work already completed proves
a record breaker and shows that
nothing is tagging with the men
who are in charge. McCrory has
been designated as headquarters
and all of their meetings will be
held here.
