In a clipped rural council tone the article notes ambitions to make 1925 the year of peak growth for the town and county. Fragments include a snappy office boy exchange about calls, Superintendent Hart handling a school scare, a non painters club at a high school, and a florist assuring a century plant will bloom after a hundred years.
A column of short notes recalls a handyman argument about a fire extinguisher, quips about luck tied to moonless bits, and a Georgia farmer G. W. Lackey who trusts rainfall or irrigation. It also honors J. R. Owens, an original News founder from the 1870s, praising his long friendship and life’s later blessings.
The column praises the January paper, salutes reader letters, and notes town progress. It recalls community figures like Suh of a Gun and Dave Northcut, mentions the high school non painters club, and comments on local newspaper changes and a one day eye exam event.
The revenue act of 1924 lowers tax rates but expands exemptions and alters earned income rules. Returns are required for individuals with net income at least 1000 or gross income at least 5000, and for married couples with combined net income at least 2500 or combined gross income at least 5000. Joint or separate returns may be filed. Net income equals gross income minus specified deductions. Filing period is January 1 to March 15, 1926, with at least one fourth of the tax due submitted with the return to the local internal revenue collector.
Mrs Eva Meadows of Bend was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery Monday afternoon with Rev E E Thomson conducting the funeral. She was born February 24 1904, daughter of Mr and Mrs Jim Gauny, described as a kind woman. Also appears a medical ad for White's Cream Vermifuge priced 35 cents, sold by Simmons Drug Store.
Fragmentary ad touts a jitney service available anywhere at any time. It invites readers to see or call for pickup, mentioning names Zo and George New, with a cryptic 24x reference. The readable text is sparse on concrete details or locations.
A local druggist introduces Mesala a dandruff treatment claimed to cure most cases after one application with rapid results in a week or two. Sold by Simmons Drug Store for seventy five cents under a positive guarantee.
