The Japanese have yielded all
elaims to indemnity from Russia
and the great Eastern war is to be
ended. This agreement was reach
ed at the meeting of the peace en
voys at Portsmouth Tuesday. The
work of drafting the treaty of
peace is now in progress and will
likely be completed by the end of
the week. As the war ends, neith
er Russia nor Japan has gained
but little, and if the dispute had
been taken before an international
board of arbitration before tin- be
ginning of hostilities, the same re
sults could have been accomplish
ed without bloodshed and without
cost to the world.
FRIDAY, SKl'l KMRKR 1, M»or>
It is predicted that the Texas
cotton crop will be a million hales
short this year.
'Flie farm on which Abraham!
Lincold was born, near Ilodgen
ilie, Ky.. was sold at auction last
Monday by order of the court in
x bankruptcy ease. The farm con
tained 110 acres and brought
*$3,600. _
Governor Davis and the state
board of health got. into a wrangle
the first of the week over matters
affecting the authority of the
board, and the entire board re
signed. The governor comes out
on top again, as usual.
There seems to be trouble ahead
for the Republicans who are hold
ing federal offices in Arkansas.
The colored bretheren are demand
ing a division of the pie. and some
of the “outs” are going to make a
desperate effort to break into the
“charmed circle.” Hoop, la! Goi
y to it, you motley crowd, and make
the fur fly.
It has been suggested that John j
I). Rockefeller might put up the j
money which Japan demands as/
indemnity from Russia, and thus I
end the war. Japan has demand-]
ed $750,000,000 and it is said that j
Mr. Rockefeller could pay it off'
and still have a couple of hundred
millions left. Rut we have an idea j
that Unc" John is not going to
give his money away so lavishly
a- this.
CROP REPORT.
The government bureau’s crop
report for Arkansas for the week
ending August 2s, says: "The
week was warm with scattered
showers and was generally favora
ble for all growing crops. Cotton
continues to improve and is begin
ning to open in some sections;
however, there is complaint local
ly of shedding, rust, premature
•pening and of insects. Early
:*orn is maturing and is a good
crop generally: the late planted is
improving and now varies from
poor to good. Sweet and Irish
potatoes, turnips and pea-vine hay
ire doing well. Considerable
progress was made during the
week in harvesting hay, which is
i good crop, and is being secured
in good condition. Stock is doing
well generally, although there is
some complaint of hogs dying
from cholera.

The Sharp County Record is
just now awakening to the fact
that the newspaper that allows it
self to become the hand-organ of
the politician is foolish. This is
just what we have been preaching
to the Record for years, but the
thick-skulled editor of that sheet
could never see the point. It is
hard to drive an idea home to the
man whose brain is surrounded by
a double-walled and papier-mache
coated hall of bone: but we arc
giaJ that some fellow has been ab
le to reach the vital spot.

Would it not be a good thing for
the merchants of Newark to make
h little special effort to reach out
for more of the country trade, and
increase the town's trade territo
ry t There is a lot of business in
tie* country north of here that
should by rights come to Newark,
are) would do it if our business
men would make a little special ef
fort to get it. True, Newark al
ready gets a good portion of the
trade from that territory, but it
could be perceptibly increased if

The David Bradley Double Cam
is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can’t beat it. It has all the strong points, will put full
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out oi order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. Hut they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let’s talk this matter over. You can't tell all
about the David Bradley Press just from the picture.
