Entered at the post office at Newark.
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
A member of the editorial staff
of the Progressive Farmer, in an
article on the recent Arkansas
State Fair, says the agricultural
display was the best and most
complete he ever saw at a Staie
Fair.
v When the farmers of Arkansas
reduce the acreage in cotton, in
crease the acres planted in feed
crops and raise more cattle and
hogs, they will not only live bet
ter but will have more money to
buy comforts and conveniences
for their homes.
Parents should never accept
faulty work from their children.
It is just as easy to teach them
efficiency as it is to permit them
to neglect their work or turn out
poor work. Let your children
undesrtand that poor work is a
disgrace and that honest people
cannot afford to perform it.—Farm
and Ranch.
It seems that the old poor Stan
dard Oil Company, since being
hauled into federal court about a
year ago and given such a black
eye in that famous dissolution or
der, has only been able to pay its
stockholders 52£ per cent dividend
on the past years business. The
heartless manner in which Taft’s
administration has dealt with the
trusts is something awful.
Arkansas has made good pro
gress in educational matters dur
ing the past fewr years, but there
remains much to be accomplished.
Statistics show that the average
length of school term in Arkansas
is only 98 days, or less than five
months a year. As there are many
towns and cities in the state with
eight and nine months school
terms, this means that there are
many country children getting
practically no schooling. The state
is placing its future citizens at a
serious disadvantage when it fails
to provide better means for their
education. The improvment of
our school system so as to bring
more and better educational ad
vantages as nearly as possible
right to the door of every youth
in the state, is a matter well wor
thy of the thoughtful consid
eration of our best citizens, edu
cators and legislators.
PIONEER PASSES AWAY
Aunt Fannie Mayhan Dies at Ad
vanced Age of 77 Years
The sickle of Death has again
been thrust into our community,
and a kind and noble-hearted old
mother has been taken away.
Aunt Fannie Mayhan died at her
home, northeast of town, last Fri
day, at the ripe old age of 77.
Her familiar voice is forever
silenced— no more will we see her
dear old kindly face or hear her
friendly greeting.
She was laid to rest at Mt. Zion
cemetery Saturday, the burial
being attended by a large number
of friends and relatives. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
James of Charlotte.
Uncle Pack has lost a true and
loving companion who has faith
fully stood by him for more than
53 years, helping to fight the bat
tles of a long and useful life. Aunt
Fannie was a kind and affection
ate mother, and a good neighbor.
She was a sister of Uncle Zibe
Barber, whose death occured only
a short time ago. She was born
in Decatur county, Tennessee, in
1835. The family moved to Ark
ansas in 1855 and she was married
to P. A. Mayhan October 2, 1859.
Uncle Pack and Aunt Fannie
lived their entire married life on
the farm where Uncle Pack was
born more than three quarters of
a century ago. When she and
Uucle Pack were married, 53 years
ago last October, they went to live
on the old homestead, and in the
same house, where Uncle Pack
was born. Through all the inter
veining years they never thought
of leaving the old place, but were
content to stay on the old farm
and live the simple life of the
plain, honest country folks, whose
lives and influences are a benedic
tion upon the neighborhood in
w'hich they lived.
