WHISKEY VS.
TOBACCO
It is said that the fusil oil in
a pint of whisky will kill a
rabbit in ten minutes and the
nicotine in a chew of tobacco
would kill a rabbit in one min
ute. Yet there are politcal re
formers “working” the coun
try with enough fusil oil in
their hides to stock a pickling
vat, and spatting tobacco
juice on their shirt fronts, and
screaming that the country is
going to the bad.—Conway
Farmer.
The editor of The Journal
is not a tobacco chewer, hence
we know nothing by experi
ence of the dangers its habi
tutes are subject to, but there
is one thing we have noticed
and that is that we never saw
a man get so badly “soused”
in tobacco poison that he
would go out and get into
trouble, try to beat up his
neighbor, commit murder or I
break into jail.
The tobacco habit is not a |
good one by any means, and i
very little can be said in its
defense, but when it comes to
comparing it to the whiskey
habit, it is like comparing a
bedbug to a rattlesake.
There has been no “hawk
bill” introduce! at this session
of the legislature notwith
standing the fact that the gen
tleman from Sharp has been
on the ground all the time.—
Melbourne Times.
We believe that the bill to
require the railroad company
to construct a depot 80 rods
north of Podunk Hollow on
Gut Creek. 8 miles from no
where, where the owls get
lonesome and there is not a
human sound to disturb the
call of the wildcat to his mate
across the mountains, was
championed by the gentleman
from Izard.—Sharp County
Record.
And the gentleman who
wanted newspaper reporters
kept out while the legislature
worked, lives just across the
creek in Stone.
Canned goods have become
such necessities in modern life
that Chicago would suffer for
food in a week, and New York
in less than three days, if de
prived of canned goods, ac
cording to G. W. Drake, sec
retary of the Western Canners
Association. Mr. Drake’s
statement should be of great
interest to farmers throughout
the country who are looking
for an opportunity to diversify.
The demand for canned goods
is steadily increasing and
there should be a good profit
in growing fruit and vegeta
bles to meet this demand
It might be interesting for
some of the people who have
been fighting publicity in pub
lic affairs in Arkansas to read
a signed editorial by W. J.
Bryan in the last issue of the
Commoner. Among other
things, Mr. Bryan says: “The
government belongs to the
people, and since those who
conduct the government are
attending to the people’s bus
iness there is no reason why
the people should not know
what is being done.’’
Of course it is alright for
you to send to the mail order
house to get groceries and fur
niture and it is alright for the
merchant to send out of own
get his printing, but if we
followed these examples
