FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1907 !
Thinking .you are. a very bright
«nan is easy, but being one is an
entirely different proposition.
Several heavy earthquake
■shocks have oceured on the West
ern coast of Mexico during the
first part of the week. Three cities,
Chilpancingo, Chilapa and Tixtla,
l,ave been destroyed and several
lives were lost.
The legislature has passed the
'Lee Browning bill, permitting the
old line fire insurance companies
<to re-enter Arkansas, regardless
of their connection with the trust.
Are the people to conclude from
this that the legislature has learn
ed that there are good trusts and
Lad trusts, and that the tire insur
ance trust is one of the good ones£
A subscriber has sent us the ten
commandments with the sugges- I
iion that we publish them. But
we are a little inclined to refuse,
for the reason that some fellow
around town might think we were
-saying bad things about him and
raise a howl, like certain parties'
-did a short time ago when we were |
saying things about the laws being
violated by the blind tigers.
The Standard Oil Company of!
Indiana, which has been on triali
for the past six weeks before!
Judge Landis in the U. S. district,
court at Chicago on a charge of
having received rebates from the
Chicago and Alton railroad on
shipments of oil from Whiting,
•2nd., to East St. Louis, 111., was
found {guilty on 1,403 counts. The
oil company is liable to a tine of
■$29,260,000, as the Elkins law,
which the indictment charged the
company with having violated,
provides a tine of $1,000 to $20,
1100 for each offense. This will
likely call for another increase in
the price of oil.

Conducted by Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan
Pastor M. E. Church, South
“Am I therefore, become your
enemy because I tell you the
truth?”—St. Paul.
It is the truth that makes men
free and keeps them free. Ihe
Psalmist, said once in his haste
that all men are liars. The phrase
“in haste ' would lead one to think
that upon more deliberate consid
eration he would have modified
the charge as to its being so uni
versal in its sweep as to accuse all
men of being liars. A contention
for simple plain truth can not well
be advocated to an extreme. It is
absolutely necessary to the main
tenance of honor, and confidence,
and no man who mars his honor,
or shakes his confidence can hope
to mantain himself among his fel
lows as an upright reliable man.
Truth is mighty and will prevail,
and there is nothing hidden that
shall not be revealed. “Tell the
truth my son, and fear God, and
you need not fear man, nor the
devil,” were the words of a mother
to her son. lie followed her ad
vice and came to great usefulness
and influence.
There never was a time in the
history of our country where “the
truth, the whole truth and nothing j
but the truth” was more rigidly j
demanded of men in all depart
ments of life than at the present
time. Men in high authority,
such as judges of courts and other
high officials, are requiring the
truth and are extorting it from
men who do not want to tell it.
Let the good work go on, for this
is the one safeguard around our
civil and religious liberties. “He
who often has deceived, will sel
dom be believed.” As it is the
truth that makes men free and ,
keeps them free. It therefore fol
lows that he who will tell you the
truth is not your enemy but your
best friend. Be truthful, and all
things else will be well and de
lightful; be a liar and the opposite ;
comes to you day by day.

SOME COLD WEATHAR
“Well, aint this the coldest
weather you ever saw for the time
of year!1” has been a common com
plaint for two are three weeks.
It has been rather cool, but W. C.
Best says that fifty-seven years
ago last Monday, the 15th, it
snowed in Alabama, froze up and
killed all the vegetation. Corn
was up, he says, and was plowed
over, and cotton was up to a fine
stand, but it was all killed and
everybody had to plant their crops
again. He says a great deal of
timber was killed, and especially
many hickory trees of considerable
size. Rev. Jas. S. Best also states
that it snowed in this county on
the 10 th of April, 1870, and his
statement is corroborated by Rev.
Jas. F. Jernigan, who says he well
remembers the fact for the reason
that on that day there was a law
suit at Sulphur Rock between
John K. Hoover and John Dona
hue over a yoke of steers and a
wagon. D. P. Tunstall and H. C.
Galloway were connected with the
law-suit.
