FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1908
The Newark Fruit and Truck Grow
ers Association. That sounds good
to us.
Sometimes the fellow who passes in
liis cheeks forgets to pass in the one
he owed the home paper.
And Bro. J. it. Taylor, of the Para
gould Soiiphone; wonder what he
tliinks of \\ illie Hearst now?
Wonder what has become of tlie
Republican “full dinner pail?" We
don't hear much about these days.
It is our opinion that it is far better
to die unknown in this world than to
be known only for the had tilings you
have done._
The world is to come to an end
again in October; or at least that is
what “Elijah” Sandford of Maine says,
and he claims to know.
The politicians never sleep. It is
saidthat llal Norwood, the Democratic
nominee for attorney general, is al
ready planning to run for governor
four years hence.
The S oculists will hold a convention
at Batesville on Saturday, August 15,
for the purpose of nominating a coun
ty ticket—provided enough Socialists
can he found in the county to makeup
a ticket.
There is a law in Arkansas prohibit
ing the sale of cigarettes or cigarette
papers, yet we see hoys smoking them
almost every day. Where do they get
them? And whose duty is it to see
that the law is enforced?
Suit for one and one-half million
dollars damages has heen brought
against the tobacco trust in the federal
court at Louisville, Ky. Hut the
fellow who “chaws" Hillside Navy
will not be affected by the outcome of
the suit.
When the tongue of trade is coated,
when the eyes and limbs of the clerk
are dull and languid, when the raging
fever tackles the empty vitalsof the till,
when the spider roosts in the empty
cash box. and bouquets of decay are
on the chandeliers, it is conclusive
proof that the advertising doctor has
not been consulted.

There are a great many men, and
a few women, in the world whose judg
ment is infallible — after a tiling has
happened. Perhaps you have met a
few of them?
Thirty-five me miters is pretty good
for a starter for the Newark Fruit and
Truck Growers Association, hut The
Journal hoftes to see the membership
make a substantial increase at the
next meeting, which is to be held the
loth of August.
Don't knock. Help yourself along
by Incoming popular, and push your
friends with you. Be a good fellow
and an optimist, and soon you'll have
a procession of followers. No man
ever heljted himself along by knocking
other people, either in character or
business. _
The season’s crop of Elberta peaches
in Johnson county has brought the
growers about $75,000 There is no
reason why Indef>endence county
should not do as well, and we believe
the time is not far distant when she
will. When the farmers reach the
point where all their dependence is not
put in cotton, or any other one crop,
then the country will prosper as it
never has Indore.
There is a threatened car shortage
on tiie railroads operating in Arkan
sas. It is said that there are now
nearly three thousand bad-order cars
sidetracked at Arkadelphia awaiting
repairs. Yet the railroad shops are
nearly all closed down, and the heavy
shipping season will soon l>e here. It
seems that railroad companies, as well
as others, sometimes exercise very
poor business judgment.
A funeral shomewhat out of the or
dinary was held in Littleton, (’olo., a
few days ago, when a full sized anti
ex {tensive coffin was used and the
regular . funeral services held in
burying half of a man's linger and a
piece of his scalp not larger than a dol
lar. The section of a linger and piece
of scalp were all that could be found
of Luther Heckman who was blown up
in an explosion at a powder mill.
Most anybody can edit a newpajter
and make it interesting for awhile.
Some people can keep up the interest
for a month or two without fagging,
but it takes a natural born pencil
shover and a hard worker to grind
out an interesting batch of local and
editorial items week after week, year
in and year out. There is no profes
sion that is more exhausting or less
remunerative than newspaper work.
Yet it is hard to make some jteople be
lieve this. _
A glance at the names of the officers
elected Saturday by the Newark Fruit
and Truck Growers Association will
show tlrat they are among the most
substantial and conservative citizens
of the community, which leads The
Journal to believe that the people are
thoroughly in earnest about the fruit
and berry growing movement. The
Journal is always heartily in favor of
any movement calculated to benefit
the people of Independence county,
either financially or morally, and we
pledge them our hearty support and
co-operation in the movement.

MULES WANTED I
A. M.
NEWARK, :
Few people stop to think that their
individual happiness is not dependent
altogether on outside circumstances.
A huhit of liap])incss, or at least of
cheerfulness, can l»e cultivated, like
any other habit, and just as success
fully. Happiness is as much a duty
as morality or cleanliness, a»’d every
person owes it to themselves and their
associates to cultivate a cheerful, hope
ful temper, which refuses to allow
oneself to become harrowed up, or all
out of sorts, upon the least provoca
tion.
DID YOU EVKit SAY GOOD-HYE?
Did you ever notice how some ]>eo
ple say good-b\ e.and did you ever notice
that with some people it is a hard
word to speak? Or did you everanayl
i/.e “pood-bye'1 to see what it really
means? Gold, icy-hearted people may
laugh at the idea that it should be a
hard word to speak, but let them laugh
— icy hearts are never kind.
Good-bye is a word that has choked
many an utterance, and started many
a tear. The hand is clasped, the word
is spoken: we part, and are out on the
ocean of time -we go to meet a pain
where? God only knows. It may be
soon; it may be never. Take care
that your pood-bye be not a cold one
it may 1** the last one you can pive.
Ere you meet apain death's cold hand
may have closed his eyes and chained
his lips forever. He may have died
thinkinp you loved him not.
When we must seperate let us not
tear ourselves away with a careless
boldness that delies all love and ten
derness, but rememl»er, it may l>e the
last pood-bye, so make your words
linper with a sacred tenderness -pive
your heart full utterance and if tears
fall, what of it? Tears are not un
manly. _
A MONUMENTAL LIAR
If one believed the statements pub
lished in the Newport Democrat he
would think that, when saloons are
voted out of a town or a community,
every younp man in the community
suddenly becomes an old toper with
an insatiable appetite for liquor, and
orders jup after jup. The most pecul
iar lopie we ever heard of is that con
tained in the liquor men's argument
that hoys will drink more whiskey
when there are no saloons and they
have to order their whiskey, than they
do when the open saloon flaunts its
temptations in their face day after day.
Any man in Newark will tell you that
there is not one-tenth as much whiskey
drank in Newark now as there was
when there were saloons in town. We
see nor hear of no hoys orderinp
whiskey here. The only people who
order whiskey here are men who have
been habitual drinkers for years and
have become so accustomed to the use
of liquor that they can not do without
it.
The Newport Democrat is noted for
its unscrupulous lyinp, but the most
poundless, open-faced, self-evident
anti unerupulous lie ever uttered by
that champion of vice and degeneracy
is its statement that prohibition makes
drunkards of youngsters who would
not dare to ask for a drink in a sa
loon. _
