SENIORS ENTERTAIN

Tuesday evening, Nov. 23rd. the members of the School Board and their wives and the Faculty of the McCrory High School were entertined, in the gymnasium with a ban quet, given by the 11th and 18th grade Domestic Science Classes, under the direction of Miss Rives.
 The gymnasium was artis- tically decorated in keeping with the Thanksgiving sea- son. A profusion of autumn leaves, holly branches and pumpkins were used. The table was decorated in the school colors, and the places were marked with hand painted place cards.
 An excellent menu, of five courses, including turkey, was beautifully served by the girls of these grades, and much credit was reflected on the Domestic Science Depart ment of our school.
 MT. Willis acted as toast master and between courses extemporaneous speeches were made by each member of the board and others.

Sheriff R. H. Smith, IT,, and Deputy J. L. Bronte spent Sunday watching for the operator of a big still on Cache River a few miles north of McCrory. They failed to get the criminal because he did not visit his place of business as anticipated, but the still was captured" and de- molished according to law.
 Although there are no mountains in Woodruff, the mountain dew" was quite plentiful as seven barrels of the juicy joy was destroyed. U was the largest catch in the history of the county.
 The still which was of 300 gallons capacity, was located on the west bank of Cache k!ver about 200 yards north o1 the Animate Ford. In the seven barrels were found prunes, peaches, corn meal ana shorts. More than 100 en molasses buckets were also destroyed. The main tank used in making the moonshine was a 50 gallon gasoline metal sank of oval shape and coal was used for fuel. Twelve ,Iases, containing six one gall ion buckets each of Mary zane molasses, sold by w. s. Morgan & Sons, of Tupelo, were found with the outfit.

SAFE AND STRONG

This week we give an in- teresting and satisfactory statement of the financial con- dition of the Bank of McCrory. It is most gratifying to the bank officials to be able at this time when money seems so tight, to state that they are living up to their motto of safe and strong" by showing in their sworn statement as re- quired by law that they have on hand cash reserve double the amount which the law re- quires for the protection of the depositors. We congrat- ulate President H. w. Jerni- gan upon the able manner in which he and the other mem bers of the Board of Direc- tors have financed the Bank of McCrory which is one of, if not the strongest, in Woodruff county.
