TTENT factors
Are the Newspaperand Rea! Estate
flan in Town Building.
LEADERS OF ENTERPRISE
Work Together as Geared Wheels and
are Potent Factors in the Up
building of any Town.
The real estate man of t he small
er towns and the agricultural com
munities is the general practition
er and has as varied an experience
as does his neighbor and oft-time
particular friend, the doctor, who
not infrequently shares with him
the seat of a common conveyance
-the one going across the coun
try to look at a choice “eighty”
while the other tarries at an ad
joining farm and mends a broken
joint or hurries a delayed func
tion, says an exchange. The gen
eral practitioner of real estate
deals in farms, town lots, nego
tiates mortgages, sells insurance,
makes abstracts of title, plans lo
cal enterprises and, what is more
carries them on successfully,* too
—and acts as pilot through the
troubled business paths of hi - com
munity, all with as quiet daring
and as easy confidence as does his
brother, the doctor, explore a cav
ity in a damaged skull, go to the
relief of a heart affection, or
straighten out a fracture— the one
viewing his profits in a large acre
age deal with quite as much self
complacency as does the other tin1
stump of a recent amputation, both
with pride in the thoroughness of
his work.
Usually the real estate agent is
the pioneer of industry in his com
munity. the prophet of business
progress. The nature of his call
ing demands activity in his finan
cial circle and its current must not
be allowed to become sluggish, if
from no other reason than that the
returns to him will U* slow and
his income much shortened. He
must keep up the current or be
the first to encounter loss. Thus
he must Ik1 always doing or else
there will be nothing to do.
The work and iufluence of the
**;glit-thinging, honorable real es
. e agent arc of inestimable value
to ids town and country. He is
the leader of enterprise, the first
in aggressive movement, and the
mainstay of the new public im
provement which it is sought to
establish. He is so thoroughly in
touch with his section, knows its
resources and its capabilities so
well, that he is competent to ad
vise*! and suggest and direct. His
judgment is based upon fact, he
has a knowledge, of the limitations
of the field as well as a confidence
in its endowments, and he is tit to
counsel in the various projects
which are constantly under scru
tiny. A first class real estate
agent is not only a benefit to his
circle but is such an agency for its
prosperity and growth as is the
publisher of a splendid local paper.
In combination they arc a duo
hard to defeat. They work to
gether as do geared wheels and ex
ert a force salutary in its effect.
Find the section which possesses
them and you find one that is a
leader, that keeps always to the
front aud adds to its resources and
advantages. Fortunate is the prop
erty-holder who has investments!
within their sphere. lie has allies
which are formidable and which
lead on to good results.

THE EXCURSION TO COTTER
Quit© a Number of Newark Citizens
Went up, and all Enjoyed the
Trip Immensely.
Quite a number of Newark peo
ple, including the editor and fami
ly, went lip to Cotter on the ex
cursion last Sunday.
Cotter is a very unpretentious
little place at present, but as it is j
to be a division point on the new
road, it’s citizens are' sanguine as
to its future greatness.
The scenery along the route is
simply grand. The railroad fol
lows the river all the way up, and
in many places the frowning bluffs
rise to a height of several hundred
feet on one side, while ou the oth
er side and almost directly beneath
you, flows the beautiful White riv
er.
On the return trip the train was
stopped at Penter’s Bluff for five
minutes to allow the passengers to
view this magnificient and awe-in
spiring piece of Nature’s handi
work, This is probably one of the
most beautiful pieces of mountain
scenery between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains,
and would require the pen of a
genius to give an adequate descrip
tion of it. The scenery all along
the route is tine and is well worth
the trip to see it.
Messrs. Coffin and Kearney, of
Newport, who were in charge of
the train, left nothing undone that
would add to the comfort and
pleasure of the passengers and
handled the crowd in a remarka
bly line manner.
That Tired I'eeling!
If you are languid, depressed
and incapable for work, it indi
cates that you are out of order,
llerbine will assist nature to
throw off headaches, rheumatism
and ailments akin to nervousness
and restore the eneigies and vit
ality of sound and perfect health.
J. ,1. ilubbatd. Temple, Texas,
writes, March 22. 1902 : “I have
used llerbine for the past two
years. It has done me more good
than all the doctors. When l feel
bad and have that tited feeling, 1
take a dose of llerbine. It is the
best medicine ever made for chills
and fever.” 50cts a bottle. Sold

Definition of Blush.
According to a southern medi
cal journal this is an accurate de
finition of a blush: “A blush is a
temporary erythema and calorific
effulgence of the physiognomy,
etiologized by one perceptive ness
of the sensorium when in a predi
cament of unequilibrity from a
sense of shame, anger or other
cause, eventuating in a paresis of
the vasomotor filaments of the
facial capillaries, whereby, being
divested of their elasticity, they
are suffused with a radiance emi
nating from an intimidated
prtecordia. ”
Worst of all Experience.
Can anything he worse than to
feel that every minute will he
your last? Such was the expet -
ience of Mrs. S. H. Newaon, De
catur, Ala. “For three years” she
writes, “I endured insufferable
pain indigestion, stomach and
howel trouble. Death seemed in
evitable when doctors and all rem
edies tailed. At length I was in
duced to try Electric Bitters and
the result was miraculous. I im
proved at once and now I’m com
pletely recovered.” For liver.kid
ney, stomach and bowel troubles
Electric Bitters is the only medi
cine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed

The Editor and The Lawyer.
A lawyer in a courtroom may
call a man a liar, scoundred, vil
lain or thief and no one makes a
com plaint.when court was adjour
ned. If a newspaper prints such
reflections on a man’s character
there is a libel suit or a dead edi
tor. And this is owing to the fact
that people believe what an editor
says; what a lawyer says cuts no
figure.

Keep on the Shady Side.
Criminologists assert that the
weather has mucjf to do with
crime, and that warm weather is
conductive to suicide and crime.
Therefore, we advise our readers
to keep on the cool side of the
house as much as possible.—Sharp

An Old “Print.”
“Uncle Jimmie” Henderson is
probably one of the oldest printers

years ago, however, for other lines
of employment, but says he has
never lost his love for the print
shop.

Injured by Explosion of Alcohol.
Stephens, Ark., June 13.—Mrs.
Ruth Poindexter, wife of E. S,
Poindexter, a prominent and pros
perous farmer, who lives a few
miles south of here, was fatally
burned Saturday by the explosion
of a jug of alcohol. The alcohol
had been brought to tire house by
a negro and Mrs. Poindexter, in
order to put it out of the way of
her children, placed the jug in the
stove in the kitchen. In the eve
ning she built a fire in the stove,
forgetting that the alcohol was
there. Shortly after building the
fire she heard a sizzling noise and
opened the stove door to investi
gate. As she did so the jug was
exploded and the alcohol was ig
nited. The burning fluid was
spread all over Mrs. Poindexter
and she rushed into the yard, j
screaming. Before aid arrived)
she was so badly burned that now
it is not thought she can survive. |
VOWEL’S FUNERAL
People Turned Out En Masse To
Attend the Obsequies.
DAVIS HANGED IN EFFIGY
People of Vowel’s Home Town Express
Their Disapproval of the Gov
ernor’s Course.
Rector, Ark., June 10.—Early
risers in Rector this morning saw
an effigy of Gov. Davis hanging
from a pole in a conspicuous place.
This expression of disapproval of
the governor’s refusal to save
Mart Vo well from the gallows
came from a source not generally
known. Attached to the picture
I of the governor were several play
! ing cards. The effigy had evident
ly been prepared with care, as the
| picture was a very good likeness
of the governor.
The picture was taken down and
burned soon after the discovery
that it had been strung up.
The train bearing the remains of
Voweli, who was executed at Par
agould yesterday for the murder
of Win. F. Lovejoy in this county,
arrived here at 9 o’clock last night.
Several hundred citizens were at
the depot. A large crowd remain
ed on the street last night. Vow
ell’s execution and Gov. Davis' at
titude in the matter was the topic
of the town.
Vo well's remains were interred
this afternoon at 2 o’clock in the
1 family cemetery, one mile north
west of Rector. Services were con
ducted in the Methodist church by
Rev. J. \V. Cox, prior to the in
terment. As many people as the
church could hold were present.
The stores, banks and work-shops
were closed from noon to 4 p. m.
on account of the obsequies. Rev.
Mr. Cox took for his text, “There
remaineth therefore a rest for the
people of God.” For one hour he
discoursed eloquently on the un
fortunate tragedy and referred to
Vowell as his personal friend and
an honest man, who joined the
church during the shaker's early
ministerial career, thirty years or
more ago.
The funeral procession was more
than a mile in length. At least
1,500 i>eoplo followed the remains
to the grave. In the principal
street of the town there had been
placed an arch, which was draped
appropriately and surmounted
with flowers. During the solemn
march every bell in town Was toll
ed.
Driven to Desperation.
