A DOUBLE CELEBRATION

Tho Fourth of July was doubly celebrated in cMCrory at the home of MT. and Mrs. w. B. Kyle, when at one o'clock their daughter, Miss Louise, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to MT. Alex Meyers of Memphis.
 The bride, born and reared in this city, is we'll known to everyone and numbers her friends by her acquaintances. She possesses those traits of character which go in the making up of a true and vivacious young lady and to know her is to respect and ad- mire her.
 MT. Meyers is a product of Memphis, Tenn, and having held position as barber at tho Sanitary Shop for the past year, has become intimately acquainted with the people here and he possesses those marks of a gentleman which add much to his character and which have won for him the high respect and esteem of a host of friends of this city.
 The happy couple left on the fast train for Memphis and other points to spend their honeymoon. They will reside here. The many friends of both parties join The Home News in extending hearty con- gratulat6ons and wishing for them bon voyage on the mat rimonial sea.
 Good luck, Alex.

INFORMATION WANTED
MT. w. w. Raney. Editor Home News,
 McCrory, Ark,

Dear Sir
 1 want to ask that you pub- fish some information about the Bayou DeView Drainage District.
 When are they going to start digging this ditch? It seems that they have had time enough to get started, what is the trouble? Can you give me any information through the columns of your paper?
 How much taxes has been collected and how much has been spent and figuring from the amount collected and the amount spent, how much do you figure this ditch will cost the District, especially when they have not even dug one yard of dirt from the ditch.
 l wish you would inquire of your commissioners, just what the cause of the delay in get ting this work under way, you realiza that every day delay is costing the district money and if this ditch is not started very soon the money for which the bonds sold will have been spent and still the land will not have been benefited as the water will still spread out over the larger part of this land in the winter as it has in the ears gone before this dis trict was organized. X,
 If this ditch was dug you would see a great improve ment in the roads, in the health, the removal of many mosquitoes the lessening of malaria, the aiding of cultiva- tion of many acres of land which is now worthless, which should provide homes for the many people.
 shall be very glad to read an account of your findings in the next issue of your paper.
 I beg to remain very truly,
 A TAXPAYER.
