FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1909
There is a groat deal of truth in
the old saying that “An idle brain
is the devil’s workshop.” Don’t
let your boy grow up in idleness.
A man stole an automobile on
Main street in Memphis a few days
ago. But they steal anything in
Memphis, from a jag to a steam
boat. __________
If you are not satisfied with
what Newark is, help to make it
better. And, remember, grumb
ling and knocking neve makes a
town any better.
Governor Donaghey has trimmed
down several of the appropriation
bills passed by the recent legisla
ture in a manner that indicates
the good business man.
Preach and practice should
always go hand in hand, hut they
are often separated so long that it
takes a formal introduction to
make them recognize each other.
Millionaire Christians recently
planned and executed a corner on
wheat, whereby thousands of their
brothers were made to suffer, while
they swell their own millions into
billions. Yet they will bow their
gray heads reverently on the vel
vet pews and glorify the name of
that Gentle Being who was born
in a manger, and who bade II is
followers do unto others as they
would have others do unto them.
“In all my public career I have
found no weapon as mighty as a
good newspaper that tells the truth
and none so harmful as the un
truthful publication. Publicity is
the greatest power on earth to
check wrong doing. You may fill
the penitentiaries with wrong do
ers, and unless the public is arous
ed there will be no difference in
the conduct of affairs, but let the
people become awakened to wrong
conditions and they can no longer
exist.” Thus did ex-Governor
Folk of Missouri recently voice
his conception of the press and its
part in upbuilding civic righteous
ness.

A Square Deal
Is assured you when you buy Dr. Pierce'S
family medicines—for all the Ingredi
ents entering Into them nre printed on
the bottle-wrappers and their formulas
ere attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paying for and that the Ingredients are
gathered from Nature's laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable nativo
medicinal roots found growing in our
American fores(S-amtwhIle potent to euro
are perbdTtiy harmhjiji^e^xtn to the most
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul
cent.
Glycerine plays an important part in
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heart-burn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnawing feeling in stom
ach, biliousness and kindred derange
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Resides curing ul! the above distressing
ailments. the"Golden Medical Discovery "
Is a specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether of the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative
stages It will yield to this sovereign rem
edy if its use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Kasai passages, it is well,
while taking the "Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with Dr. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron
chial. throat and lung affections, except con
sumption In its advanced stages, the "Holden
Medical Discovery ” is a most efficient rem
edy, especially In those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. The " lbs”
eovery " is not so good for acute coughs aris
ing from sudden colds, nor must It t« ex
pected to cure consumption In Its advanced
atages no medicine will do that hut for all
the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected. or badly treated, lead up to consump
tion ills Ute best medicine that can be taken.
The cost of the recent session of
the legislature was a little more
than $155,000. This includes only
the salary of the members, mileage
and clerk hire. Can you look
over the list of bills passed as
published in The .Journal last week
and figure out where the people
got the worth of their money?
It is reported that Karl Hodges,
secretary of the Arkansas Press
Association, will be a candidate
for secretary of state in the next
Democratic primary. Mr. Hodges
is a capable and popular young
man, and would fill the bill in this
instance to a nicety. He was born
near Newark, and were it not for
that recent press excursion up this
way we could promise him Inde
pendence county, but Karl will
have to come across with a lot of
mighty nice talk to keep from be
ing black-balled at this box.

COMMON SENSE FARMING
A Few Terse Remarks on a Time
ly and Important Subject
The hog is a genuine mortgage
“lifter.” If he don’t lift the
mortgage from its old resting place
then let’s try the old hens. What
about cotton, brother cotton rais
ers?
The more “short corn” shouts
we keep around the place that are
scarcely in good trottin’ order, the
worse otf we are. Hetter sell half
of ’em, and feed the other half.
In all my farming experience. I
find that the la st time to kill weeds
i- just before the.\ get through the
ground. If the weather will per
init working crops regularly, and
the work is done at the proper
time, there will never be much
foulness.
I never raised but few good
crops of late corn in my life, and
when I did I was always careful j
r
HOT
SPRINGS
Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time. Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
If you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Nyal's Hot
Springs Blood Remedy—
its the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.

about telling it in the presence o
the boys, for, as a usual thing, the.
want to put otT planting until nex
week anyway.
The fellow who invests his spar
dollars in old shot guns and boozi
and begs a long-eared hound fron
his neighbor, will never make i
success at anything, not even pun
idleness.
One reason there is no mori
wealth in Independence county i
because so many men are huntinj
land that will grow a crop withou
work. If we would do our bes
with what we have, we would hav<
a great deal more.
The farmer who starts in t<
“make or break,” usually breaks
and has all the glory and worry tr
himself. Better raise a small crop
just what you can cultivate well
and save some of the expenses o
hired help, teams, tools and feed
besides a good many other thing
we could mention.

No Rest
Day or Night
“I would lay awake for hours
without any apparent cause, or
dream terrible dreams which
would bring on extreme spells
of nervousness. After taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine and Tonic
for awhile I could sleep well,
and the nervous spells have left
me.” MISS ALMA HUG,
R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio.
Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
body-building sleep accompanies
the use of Dr. Miles’ Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
■ it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re
i turn your money.
