FARMERS ARE INSTRUCTEC
Newark Citizens Encourage Move
ment for Better Farming
An enthusiastic meeting of farm
ers was held »t the Katton Hall
Friday night for the purpose of
advancing the government co-op
erative demonstration work in this
county. J. E. Taylor of Hutson,
who has charge of the work in this
county, was present and addressed
the meeting. He discussed the
selection and breeding of cotton
and corn, refering to some of the
latest practical experiments in the
successful growing of these crops,
and told how the government ex
periments and demonstrations had
made it possible for cotton to be
profitably grown in spite of the
boll weevil. He showed th^1^ \vi*th
our fertile soil and the **'L»pnrp nf
the weevils the ^Ymers in this
section should^ become wealthy
growing jf they would give
it the study and attention.
Vi'e^'clid not advocate the all-cotton
or one-crop idea, however, but
laid special emphasis upon the ne
cessity for diversified and intensi
fied farming and the raising of
live stock.
Mr. Taylor has established 23
demonstration farms in the county
and expects to increase the num
ber to llH). Seventy-five farmers
have agreed to take up the co-op
erative work, and it is probable
that 200 more will be added to the
co-operative list. Some of those
who have taken up the work, both
as co-operators and demonstrators,
are among the county’s most pro
gressive and successful farmers,
among the number being N. M.
Wilson, Hon. F. M. Martin and
Mayor E. II. Williamson of this
place; M. M. Rutherford of Ruth
ford, and C. C. Helm of Sulphur
Rock. Mr. Helm had charge of
the Roys Corn Club in this county
this season and is fully alive to the
importance of the work. He will
cultivate his entire farm under the
instructions of the government.
The Journal is glad to note the
hopeful and ambitious spiritamong
the farmers, and is pleased to see
them take hold and encourge this
movement for better methods in
farming. Farming is the most
important industry known to man
and one of the noblest callings
given to mankind to engage in.
The prosperity of any country is
gunged largely by the prosperity
of its farmers, as the sustenance
of all life must come from the
soil. The same soil that is today
supporting the inhabitants of the
earth must continue for countless
ages to produce food and rainment
for mankind, and the problem of
how to produce the most stuff
from an acre of ground with the
least drain upon its fertility will
soon become the most serious prob
lem confronting mankind.
Today the man who cun make
one acre produce what two former
ly did, is on the highway to pros
perity and is a benefactor to his
race.

MRS. EnnA DAVIS
Whereas, It has pleased the Lord
to visit the church at Macedonia
with the hand of affliction laid up
on our beloved sister, Emma I)a-1
vis, wife of I)r. J. 1'. Davis, call
ing her from pain to pleasure,
from labor to rest, from earth to
heaven, on the 1st day of Novem- j
ber, 1909, she being our first mem-1
her to die.
Therefore, realizing that in the
death of our dear sister, Brother
Davis has lost a true and devoted
wife, the bereaved children a kind
and loving mother and the church
a faithful and true member.
Knowing that the word of God
teaches us that all things work to
gether for good to those who love
and serve the Lord, we therefore
bow in humble submission to His
will, and recommend to the be
reaved family and friends, the
church and community that they
examine themselves and be ready
to meet our sister in the beautiful
home beyond.
We recommend that a page of
our church record be set apart for
this report, and that a copy be
sent The Newark Journal and the
Ilatesville Guard for publication.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv
ous diseases. 'I hey have been
cured in so many instances with
Dr. Miles’ Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in n romnlnf**
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. 1 he best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
turn your money.
