What newspaper would have been 'preferred' to for obituary listings of the folks in this community in the 1920's?

Searching for a possible obituary, June 6, 1926, for Hattie MAULDIN. Hattie was listed as a boarder in the household of John MAULDIN on the 1920 Hillemann/Franks township of Woodruff County.

Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.
