These nights are eool enough to
suggest ’possum and yaller yam.
Newark needs a public well and
we hope the right person will take
this matter up and see that it is
attended to.
It would be interesting to read
the testimony of Editor Powell,
of the Batesvilie Bee, when he ap
pears before the grand jury to tell
what he knows about the primary
election fraud.
Govenor Davis has announced
that he will immediately begin his
campaign as a candidate forUuited
States senator. The govenor
seems to be a firm believer in the
old saying that, “The early bird
catches the worm.”
The Kansas City Star says:
“The fact that Arkansas has gone
democratic again does not interest
anyone, not even James K. Jones. ”
Maybe it don’t interest anyone
outside of the state, but it is of
considerable interest to Arkan
sas. __________
The Bald Knob Herald will
move to Searcy, which will leave
Bald Knob without a paper. It
seems to us that Bald Knob ought
to be a good point for a live news
paper, and we can’t see where the
Herald can hope for anything more
at Searcy than at Bald Knob.
The time has come in the great
coal strike when the miners and
operators should each be willing
to accept equitable terms in order
to reach a settlement. Both sides,
as well as the coal consumers, have
suffered greivously by reason of
the prolonged strike, and its con
tinuance means to each side an
appalling loss clearly out of pro
portion to the issue at stake.
Some time ago The .Journal eon
tided to the Sharp County Record
that we neither chewed, smoked,
swore or got drunk. The Record
sneaked off and blabbed it and
now comes back sniggering and
wants to know if the editor of this
paper “ever stole a watermelon in
his youthful days, or in nmturer
years turned a jack from the bot
tom.” Truly the impertinence of
some editors is appalling!
The question naturally arises:
If the Batesville Bee knew so much
about the primary election fraud,
why didn’t it say something two
; or three months ago ( It makes
i its statements smell rather fishy
for the Bee to come sneaking in
, from its hiding place now, after
j the tight is all over, and go to de
I nouncing fraud. The Journal is
bitterly opposed to fraud in elec
tions, from any quarter, and has
never hesitated to say so, but it
looks to us like a foolish act for a
| man to run out in a denuded con
dition and ram his head into a
! wasp nest trying to lock the stable
door after the horse has been
stolen.
It has always been the custom
among newspapers, when clipping
news items from neighboring pa
pers, to give the proper credit,
but it seems that this custom is
ignored by the Batesville Guard.
We notice in it almost every week
! items taken bodily from nearby ex
changes and printed as orignal
; items of its own. We notice also
that The Journal is scissored free
ly by the Guard; in fact there is
never a week that the Guard does
not use from two to a dozen of our
news items and during the ten
months The Journal has been do
ing business we have noticed two
items clipped from our paper that
were credited. But we are not
; surprised at this; the Guard will
j do anything.
Notice of Examination.
Notice is hereby given that there
will be a public examination of

ing to teach in the public schools
of Independence county.

THE WANTS OF MAN.
“Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long.”
'Tis not with me exactly so,
But ’tis so in the song.
My wants are many, and if told,
Would muster many a score;
And If each wish was a mint of gold,
I still would long for more
What first I want is daily bread,
And canvas-backs and wine;
And all the realms of nature spread
Before me when 1 dine.
With four choice cooks from France,
beside,
To dress my dinner well,
Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell.
What next I want, at princely cost,
Is elegant attire;
Black sable furs for winter’s frost
And silk for summer’s fire,
And cashmere shawls and brussels lace
My bosom’s front to deck,
And diamond rings my hands to grace
And rubies for my neck.
I want (who does not want?) a wife,
Affectionate and fair;
To solace all the woes of life,
And all the joys to share;
Of temper sweet, of yielding will,
Of firm, yet placid mind,
With all my faults to love me still,
With sentiments refined.
And as time’s car incessant runs,
And fortune fills my store,
I want of daughters and of sons
From eight to half a score.
I want (alas! can mortal dare
Such bliss on earth to crave?)
That all the girls be chaste and fair,
The boys all wise and brave.
I want a warm and faithful friend
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne’er to flatter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power;
A friend to chide me when I’m wrong,
My inmost soul to see;
And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.
I want the seals of power and place,
The ensigns of command,
Charg’d by the peoples unbought grace
To rule my native land.
Nor crown or scepter would I ask
But from my country's will,
By day, by uight, to ply the task
Her cup of bliss to fill.
I want the voice of honest praise
To follow me behind,
And to he thought of in future days
The friend of humankind;
That after ages, as they rise,
Exulting may proclaim,
In choral union to the skies,
Their blessings on my name.
These are the wants of mortal man;
I cannot want them long,
For life itself is but a span,
And earthly bliss a sung.
My last great want, absorbing all,
Is, when beneath the sod,
And summoned to my final call —
The mercy of my God.
- .John Quincy Adams.

The Dear Old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed deep
furrows ou her cheek—but is she1
not sweet and futiful now?
J he lips which have kissed many
a hot tear from the childish « beek
are tho sweetest lips in all the
world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows with
the rapt radiance of a holy love
which can never fade.
Oh yes, she is a dear old moth
er.
Her sands of time are nearly
run out, l»ut feehle as site is they
will go further and reach down
lower for you than any other on
earth.
\ou cannot walk into mid
night where she cannot see you ;
you cannot enter a prison whose
liars shall keep her out; you can
never mount a scaffold too high
for her to reach that she may kiss
and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless
love, when the world shall des
pise and forsake you—when it
leaves you by the wayside to die
unnoticed, the dear old mother
"ill gather you up in her feeble
arms, cany you home and tell
vou of all your virtues unlit you
almost forget that your soul is
disfigured by vices.
Hove her tenderly, and cheer
her declining years with holy de
votion.— Ex.
