The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
O. F. Craig, Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
The man who can’t see that
Trades Day is a good thing needs
to have his eyes operated upon by
a veterinary surgeon.
A little thinking now and then
is good for most men. A little prac
tice, honestly acquired, is better
than theory often desired. —Farm
and Rancfh_
Mere man seems never so self
satisfied as when trying to regulate
something. A bill has been intro
duced in the Illinois legislature
“regulating” the size of hobble j
skirts. __________
Did you ever notice that about
three-fourths of the men who are
arraigned before the courts for
violating the law are men who
seldom read anything and take j
no interest in education?
Even the knockers, tightwads
and skinflints were compelled last
Saturday to recognize Trades Day
as a good thing. Some people have
to be run over by the band-wagon
before they can realize that they
are not the whole show.
Some people seem to think the
newspaper man a pretty good sort
of a fellow so long as he agrees
with them but when his opinions
conflict with their view of things,
the newspaper man is then very
often a small potato in their esti
mation. _
After all, there are but two kinds
of trouble —things that we can
help, and things we cannot help.
Worrying about things you cannot
help is foolish; and there is some
thing wiser and better to do about 1
things you can help than to worry
about them.
Why wouldn’t it be a good idea
for the town to clean out and con
crete the spring on the upper end
of Front street to furnish a public
watering place? If properly clean
ed out and fixed up it would prob-,
ably afford sufficient water for
public use. It could be made a real
nice place at small cost and would
be a great convenience.
I)o not let the high prices of cot- ■
ton influence you to reduce the |
acreage in corn, hay crops and
vegetables. Cotton will remain
high if plenty of other crops are
grown and the acreage of the
“fleecy staple” is not increased.-—
Farm and Ranch.
The Journal would like to see
the good roads movement given a
new start in Independence county.
There is nothing we need more
than good highways, and we have
ample material right at hand to
build them. If any citizen has any
suggestions to offer along this line
we extend him a cordial invitation
to give them to the public through
the columns of The Journal.
Every person who would be all
that a true lady or gentleman
should be, must get above the pet
ty enviousness, jealousy and hat
red so common among a large
class of people. Envy is a canker
that gnaws away one’s better im
pulses and makes folks sour, dis
gruntled and unhappy. Jealousy
warps the intellect and dwarfs the
better qualities and makes one un
fair and unjust. Hatred does not
pay, even from the most sordid
point of view.
The town election is near at
hand. The Journal has no more
interest in the matter than any
other good citizen ought to have,
but we sincerely hope the people
will choose good men to administer
the town government, and men
who will take an interest in push
ing the town to the front. There
are many public improvements
we need and could easily secure if
we would go after them in the
right manner.
Work creates wealth; work sets
money in motion; work pays debts;
work is the vital power in all real
prosperity. I )on’t tell your children
you hope they will not have to
work as hard as you have had to
work. We heard a man use such
an expression in the presence of
his boy not long ago, and we felt
like kicking him. Nothing was ev
er accomplished without loyal, en
ergetic and persistent workers.
Working people are the greatest
people on earth. Just imagine for
a moment what the conditions 1
would be if all the people in the '
world were able to quit work.

The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.

The farmers of this country pro
luce raw materials for the manu
factures, trade for the merchants,
business for the bankers, fees for
:he lawyers and doctors and
:reight for the railroads, yet it is
proposed to reduce the tariff on
»vhat the farmer sells and retain
protection upon what he buys.
Phis is the way protection serves
farmers. Do you favor taking
money out of the pockets of pro
lucers to enrich manufactures?—

According to the last census,
Vlarion is the only county in the
date that has no negroes. Newton
md Boone have only two negro
men 21 years old, and Baxter three. I
!n Ashley, Chicot, Crittenden,
Desha, Drew, Jefferson, Lafayette,
Lee, Lincoln, Monroe, Ouachita,
^hillips, St. Francis and Woodruff
.•ounties the negro population out
lumbers the white. Pulaski has
more negroes than any other coun
y in the state, but the whites
mtnumber the negroes in that
rounty. Crittenden county has
he largest percentage of negro!
jopulation of any county in the
date, the negroes outnumbering
he whites nearly five to one.
A marriage somewhat out of the
>rdinary took place over in Sharp
:ounty recently. MollieHoldenfield
in inmate of the county pauper
arm, pried open the door of her
oom one night and walked two
niles alone through the darkness
othe farm where the male paup
ers are kept; the male and female
paupers are kept on separate farms
wo miles apart. Here she was
ioined hv Joe Rungarner, a blind
nan, who is also a county pauper,
md together they walked to Bates
cille and were married. After they
were married the couple went
Pack to the county house to make
their home. The county judge has
unfeelingly declared that he is op
posed to the county maintaining a
pauper hatchery, and threatens to
.urn them out.
