SPEAKING FOR NEWARK
Ex Citizen Says Journal Indicates
the Prosperity of Newark.
Mr. Editor.—Judging from the
constant and catchy local ads and
the stand-pat ads in bigger and
more dignified space in The Jour
nal from week to week, Ne vark
merchants must be doing business,
and then some.
They are learning that printers
ink tells more than the tongue can
tell, and that printers ink aids in
hustling men and women to the
front of the counter and puts a
spring in the heel of the man be
hind the counter. That is' the
way to do it, and if such energy
is kept on display in the future,
Newark will become equal to any
other business point in that sec
tion of country. You have noth
ing else to do but to grow and go.
Every public enterprise set on
foot in your town gives expression
to the eye of all observers as to
the kind and character of the men
behind such enterprises. Every
private residence bespeaks the
taste and standing of the one man,
but your public buildings sjJiak
for your entire citizenship. Es
pecially is this true concerning
your school and church buildings.
And it may not be amiss to say,
let not your churches get in a con
dition that they will not stand up
with the same class of other pub
lic buildings, for they are expon
ents not only of the material stat
us of yoqr town, but also of the
moral condition and standing of
your people. I will add there Is
no charge for this gratuitous
suggestion.
A word about the best county
in the state, or any other state, as
to material resources. It is all |
go, go, over here. Big farms, big !
gins, big wagons, big mules and
big niggers. I don’t want to put
my reputation for truth where it
will sutler, but I saw on one big
wagon nineteen bales of cotton a
few days ago. Two of these big
wagons come in town and each
had nineteen bales, and following
them were ten other wagons with
nine bales each. Il<>w is this for
cotton, Bud, Bob, Nuck and Char
ley ( Eh?
1 was told of one farmer in
eight miles of Osceola who has of
fered his sub-boss <(2,100 for his
services next year. The gentle
man owns 1.800 acres all in culti
vation; and the other side of it is,

TRAIN THEM TO READ
Some Rensdhs Why Children
Should be [incouraged to Read.
We believe that the desire for
knowledge, for and because of the
power which it gives life’s work is
the most important ambition an.v
boy or girl can possess and that
the formation of the reading hab
it offers the best means of satisfy
ing this ambition. We have nev
er seen a home where the parents
were readers that the elfect was
not plain in the increased refine
ment and comforts of the home,
and the greater efficiency of the
work done.
If, however, father and mother
do not read, and show neither de
sire nor respect for the knowledge
and power which reading brings,
the boys and girls are not likely
to form the habit und thereby
they miss the greatest pleasure of
life and a means of acquiring
knowledge which gives power in
the work of life.
We believe in reading for pleas
ure and culture, but with reading,
as with teaching in our schools, we
believe that a great pleasure and
culture may ctmie through reading
that which will furnish us facts
and knowledge to better meet the
responsibilities and do the work
of the life we lead as from any
other. We can recall no keener
pleasures than those which we
have experienced in reading for
the first time an explanation of
the true reasons for doing certain
things which we had been doing
over and over again without un
derstanding. Ever after there
was a new pleasure in doing those
things and they were done better
because of the better understand
ing of why we were required to
do them. An understanding of
why he is required to cultivate a
clean crop, and how cultivation
conserves moisture, can not fail
to interest the boy, improve his
mind, enlarge his understanding
and encourage him to do his work
better.
