The successful man does not:
choose as his associates the pessi
mist, the downhearted or the man
who is a failure, but rather avoids
them as much as business and
gentility will permit.
Nothing is gained by pessimism.
If you havn’t the courage to look
on the bright side, close your eyes
to the dark side. There is very
little satisfaction and no profit in
looking only for the disagreeable.

It is announced that Hot Springs
will take off the lid when the new
officers take charge on the first of
November. From the results of
the recent election, it seems that
the lid is becoming rather unpopu
lar in many localities in Arkansas.
Big Bottom is still the banner '
Democrat township in the county.
In the recent election she returned '
the largest majority of any town- '
ship in the county for the nomi
nee for county judge, the only one
of the the nominees on whom any 1
real fight was made. Ruddell
rolled up for him the handsome
majority of four votes.
Uncle Sam’s census enumerators
reported that they found 5,778
male citizens over 21 years of age
in Independence county. Accord
ing to the tax collector’s report re
cently filed with the county clerk
he was able to find only 4,626 gen
tlemen who were willing to admit
that they were over 21. It seems,
that there are a lot of folks in In- j
dependence county who are affect
ed with a bad memory.
Two years ago, through an ov
ersight, the question of road tax
was left off the ballot in Jackson
county, and as a result that county
has had no road tax since that
time. This year it was on the bal
lot, and carried by a majority of
1671—probably the largest majori
ty ever given for road tax in that
county. There are a few people
who kick against paying a road
tax and claim that the roads are
no better now than they were un
der the old free-labor system. It
must be admitted that the present
system is far from perfect and
does not produce the results it
should, but often the system is
not so much at fault as the men
who operate it, as overseer and 1
county judge. At any rate, we :
note that the people of Jackson
county, after trying the old free
laber system for two years, are
decidedly in favor of the road tax.
Self-confidence is a very essen
tial element of character. The
young man who believes in his
ability to succeed, and does not let
failure convince him to the con
trary, is extremely fortunate. He
will succeed in spite of adversity.
He will lead others to success be
cause his character will be emulat
ed. The self-confident man at
tains success where others only
rise to the level of the common
place. _

You don’t buy a wagon often,
and when you buy you want
one that will give you full val
ue for the money you invest.
The Birdsell Wagons
are the best made. They are
made for hard service and are
worth the money. Come and
look them over and get prices.
