Dear Brother John, of the
Notorious Johny Family of De
View, don’t be discouraged. The
signs of the times are good and
if we can only hold out a few
more decades we can take a trip.
The president says that the
postoffice department must be
reorganized on a business basis.
That’s right Teddy; but you
must exempt Arkansas from
your reformation. Your party in
Arkansas is strickly office hold
ing—head tail and middle.—
North Little Rock Times.
Senator David Davis says:
“Every year every local paper
{fives from 500 to 5000 free lines '
for the benefit of the community |
in which it is located. No other i
agency can or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other man, he ought to be sup
ported—not because you happen
to like or admire his writings,
but it is the best investment a
community can make. It may
not be crowded with great
thought but financially is of
more benefit than both preacher
and teacher. Today editors do'
more for less pay than any men
on earth. Patronize your home
jtaper. not as a charity, but as
an investment.
The entire Arkansas legisla- j
ture. their friends and aquain-;
tances,visited Hot Springs last
Saturday, going over from Little'
Rock in a special train. What we j
want to know is who paid for that |
train? What right had the legisla- j
ture to take a day and visit Hot;
Springs? Did the members of I <
the Legislature draw their pay j:
for that day? Did the people of
the state elect them to go junket-!;
ing around to watering places j ■
and health resorts? We demand 11
tiiat Attorney General Murphey,:
institute suit in behalf of the!,
state for the recovery of the sal- J.
ary of the legislature for that day,1
and have an investigation as to
* "" _'_!_ii
| who furnished the train. Here is
$780 of the peoples’ money spent
i on a pleasure trip that the sta
j tute does not provide for; and
only a short while back all kinds
of hadese was being raised be
cause Gov. Davis had used $35 00
while attending to business
[encumbent on his office, out of;
contingent fund placed at Ms
disposal. Oh! Mores, oh mud!The
Arkansas Legislature is indeed a
bird, a regular lilly of the valley
of vapors.)—Monroe Co. Citizen.
According’ to above article,
cliped from the News, we are
under “conviction” and radically
invited to make a confession. We
are always ready to do the right
thing, but have no convictions,
and nothing to confess. We be
lieve in telling our readers some
thing that will interest them,
not till our columns withidisinter
esting dead matter. Weare living
up to our teaching; “little folks
are better seen than heard.” If
this Pour Wire Pence law was an
item of importance, we would be
in the field for argument, and
would come out in behalf, of the
Woodruff county citizen, but as a
whole in a “nut shell” it is like
the mussel law; nothing to it. If
there is a paper in the county
that is free and “unhampei’ed”
it is the Pree Press. The; plant
& building are owned by us, and
we can speak our convictions
when necessary. The only peti
tions we ever saw was several
years ago, and we refused to
sign it. We didn’t know till we
read your lengthy article in the
News that petitions were being
circulated. Now we learn that
Mr. MeCrory and others from
that part of the county were cir
culating petitions. We are sorry
to say that this argument is of
too small a nature for us to dwell
on, as our space is in great de
mand.—Pree Press.
In the above, the editor of the
Pree Press makes the astounding
declarations that he has no
“convictions. ” That he Jives up
to the teaching “little Polks are
better seen than heard.” That
this Pour Wire Pence “Argu
ment is of too small a nature for
as to dwell on.” The Pree Press
s free because no one owns a
lent in it; the building in which
t is situated except the editor,
Mr. Bitlingslea. We have been
nformed that Billingslea was
lot the only county official in
terested in same, but judging
Tom this article and his card,
2. L. Billingslea. Editor and
Propritor, all doubt vanishes and

blind as regards matters of mo
ment. to the people. He has no
convictions. I honor and admire
a man of convictions, although he
thinks and reasons to different
conclusion than Ido. But a man
without convictions is a steamer
in mid ocean without pilot, com
pass and captain; a poor excuse
for the trials and vicissitudes of
life and especially a life of a News
paper man. He, above all men,
should have strong convictions
and not be afraid to be heard. I
would advise ‘‘little folks” to start
a ten cent, museum and show
themselves and forever seal their
convictionless gas box. Four Wire
Fence is of too small a nature for
him to dwell on. Oh Ye House
Hold Gods of Rome! Socrates
Aristotle and Plato, for the loveof
an editor, give our man, who is
void of convicti >ns and who
would rather be seen than heard,
something worthy of his atten
tion and study. “Our space is in
great demand.” I hereby con-i
gratulate Bro. Billingslea and the
merchantsof Augusta upon this
most liberal patronage. This is
whatall newspaper men dream of
seeing but seldom realize. This
is what every merchant who wish
es to prosper will do. Money spent
for printers ink will bring any
judicious advertiser an incalcula
ble increase of business. Ad
vertise and study advertising
and you will become wealthy.

Newport Methodist Conference
of the A. M. E. Church convened
here and concluded its vvoik last
Thursday night. The confei
an'CG was a success from start to
finish. Much good was accom
plished and r%t-ry one piesent
went home to his work with new j
zeal and enthusiasm.
The closing evercises at the
Hal] were not so beneficial and j
in our opinion, some of the things |
said by the big guns were ladi
cally out of place anj where and
especially at a religious feast
where the spirit of Christ should
be the all absorbing theme.
