BUILD BRICK BUILDINGS

Dr. J. R. Piercy, owner and manager of the McCrory Drug Store, has purchased the lots joining the Waverly Hotel on the South and will soon start the construction of a two story brick building. Indeed we are glad to state that the people of McCrory are doing much to advance the interests of the town and in a few years the whole west side will be torn away and handsome brick buildings will take the place of the old frame ones now standing.
 Dr. B. Brewster has purchas- ed two lots in the Raney ad- dition to the town of McCrory and will build brick buildings there. The old frame building just south of the old barber shop has been torn away and in it's place a brick building will be built.
 Gravel has been placed on the ground by w. w. Raney, in his addition to the town of McCrory, prepatory to putting down a cOncree walk on Ed monds Avenue. This will soon be a busy section as several business men are buying lots with the intention of building business houses. We are glad to see our citizens so enthusi, astic over the building subject and we predct that in the near future McCrory will have de- veloped so much that her wor- thy sons who went out to fight for humanity, will not know their old town when they re- turn.

TO AID TAXPAYERS

The government is sending out men to the large towns for the purpose of assisting those who will have to pay income tax for the year 1918. On ac- count of the shortage of man power it has become necessary for the local authorities to em- ploy a man to do this work. The Bank of McCrory has talk en the matter in hand and has secured the services of Judge J. W. Simmons of Cotton Plant who will be here on March 10, II, and 12, Every person who should pay the tax is warned to make out his report on the above date. If you are not positive as to whether or not you should pay this tax you should not give yourself the benefit of the doubt, but be in McCrory when Judge Simmons is here and he will tell you.

IN MEMORY OF MRS FAKES

of six years she came With her
 7. uarents r to Arkansas and set
 t1ad p1l in Woodruff county where
 sbe siua spent the remainder of her S1l1 Ione ' and useful life. She unit
 od lo'1 with the Methodist church
 When uJ but a child. said she was
 not " able to remember the day
 l,f' nf her conversion. in fact her
 w Whole life was a religious one.
 On November 25th. 1863,
 che was married to Dr. G. B.
 Fakes and to this union three
 children were born. two hay
 ing died early in life.
 The life of sister Fakes was
 an unusual one. it was first of
 all an unselfish life. she seem ingly would forget herself and her personal interests in her
 ministerations to others. She
 was not one to select the ob-
 feet of her benefaction, but
 wherever she could find the
 person in need, no sacrifice was too great for her to make. Like her Master. she went
 about doing good to all.
 The religious life of Mrs. Fakes was the crown of her life. It was not a life of loud professions, but a life of deep devotion to God. never giving to any the slightest impress ion that she professed more |than she possessed, hers was a life of prayer and faith. truly 1t may be said of her, she walk led with God. The home life of Mrs. Fakes was beautiful indeed. there. was that atmosphere of kind ness and Christlikeness that made all feel as she entered her home that they were in the home of one of Gods elect. She was not a woman who sought an easy place in life. but following the example of her Lord. she came not to be administered to but to minister and to give her life for others. Amid the storms and sun- |shlne you would see sister Fakes in her quiet way going |on a mission of mercy. when |sne was oftentimes physically |oVertaxlng her strength, but m her consuming desire to help 10. |otners she counted not her own |iile dear unto herself.

SHIP CATTLE AND HOGS

Friday of this week marked a new eDhoc in the history of livestock production in Wood ruff county, when Messrs H. D. Angus and L. w. Sturdivant shipped a car load of pure bred hogs and cattle to Little Rock to be sold at the Arkan- sas Stock Growers Association show and sale.
 MT. Angus furnished the not ed Duroc hogs and MT. Sturdi- want the Dual Purpose Short Horn cattle.
 This is the first car of regis tered cattle and hogs that ever went from Woodruff County and these enterprising young men are to be congratulated upon their showing.
 Some of their champions will doubtless be winners at Little Rock and we would like to see a goodly number of our farm CTS go to this sale for the ex- perience as we'll as the educa- tional advantages.
 Messrs Sturdivant and An- gus have probably done more to advance the interests in bet ter livestock in this part of the county than any other farmers and we bespeak for them un- bounded success in their en- terprise.
 Our next issue will contain a list of their offerings and prices for which they sold.

CONCERNING THE ROADS.

Now that the ROAD TAX failed
to carry, call upon the Fiscal
Court to use and practice the same
careful methods and economy with
the means at hand that the Court
promised to do with the funds de-
rived from the tax, IL the tax had
carried.
have the confidence in the men,
bers of the Court to believe that
they will now be doubly careful to
merit and hold the confidence of
the people in their wisdom to prop
erly manage a road fund. / trust
that the Court will now act upon
the fine principle that Success
comes not, necessarily, from hold
ing a good hand, but from playing
a poor hand we'll" Let us do our
very best with the means at hand.
/ also call upon the people to do
their part, and do 1t fairly, do it
well, and do it promptly. The
roads belong to the people. Upon
the people lies the larger RESPONSE
bility of caring for them. They
should neither shirk their own du-
ties nor stand for any serious short
comings by the Court.
Nearly four-fifths of the County
has complied with the law requir-
ing the land owners to clean off
the fringe Of brush, bushes, lin bs
& c., along so much of the right of
way as borders their lands. This
is state law and the law abidinv
citizenship is complying with it
splendidly.
l shall do all in my power for
the benefit of the roads of the coun-
ty, and / feel assured that all 9th
ers concerned will do the same.
