Arkansas, as second class mail matter
The man who has nothing but
money is indeed a poor man.
When you are helping to boost
Newark you are helping to boost
yourself. _
If we were going to prove that
figures don’t lie, we certainly would
not call on a fashionable dressmak
er for testimony.
The man who is eternally com
plaing about the other fellow hav
ing a pull, is usually the man who
is devoid of push.
A total of $950 in cash prizes
were captured by the boys of the
Randolph County Boys Corn Club
last year. Are our boys of Inde
pendence county going to win any
prizes this year? It is up to them.
They can do it if they will.
The world is full of failures who
failed because they could not get
along without apparent results in
a day. It is the man who possesses
the bull dog tenacity to hang on
and keep plugging away, that wins
success, in any line of endeavor.
Everything that is done to help
boost Newark in a general way
helps every citizens of the town,
and the man who holds back just
because it will cost him a dollar or
so, richly deserves to be classed
among the tight wads and skin
flints. _
Ten years ago Blytheville had a
population of 320, or only five
more than Newark had. Now
Blytheville has a population of
3,800 and is a city of second class.
Blytheville is no more favorably
located and is no better country
than Newark, yet it has outgrown
Newark five to one. Do you know
the reason?_
There is a story of lost opportu
nity in the life of every man who
moves from place to place, looking
for something better. Generally
speaking, far more depends upon
the man than upon the location,
when it comes to attaining success.
Industry and frugality, practiced
regularly, day after day,year after
year, does far more toward bring
ing happiness and prosperity than
anything else.
The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.

We need more men willing to
work for the upbuilding of the
community and fewer self boost
ers. A little work conscientiously
done for others is often the most
profitable labor you can perform.
Try helping others.—Farm and
Ranch. _
A turnpike 90 miles long, built
in ten hours, is being planned by
Coin Harvey, to run from Monte
Ne, Ark., to Vinita, Okla. An
army of three thousand men is to
be organized for the purpose. This
is a good plan for road building
and was tried with good results in
Independence last fall. The Jour
nal would like to see a movement
like this set on foot to build a road
from Newark to Cord, and also
one from Newark to Oil Trough.
What do you think about it?

Speaks Very Complimentary
Memphis, Term., Feb. 24, 1911.
Friend Craig.—I have received
several copies of your paper which
you so kindly mailed me and have
carefully examined same.
I cannot refrain from informing
you that in my opinion, there is
not a neater paper in the state.
Your ads are well balanced and
carefully arranged, as to color and
white space effect, and are well
written, indictating that your ad
vertisers have studied advertising
and use same with a view to re
sults and not merely to occupy
space.
The makeup is excellent and I am
free to state that criticising your
paper from any mechanical stand
point, there is not a paper in Ar
kansas, or in any southern state,
population of your town consider
ed, that has a thing on The Jour
nal.
Editorially, and from a news
point, the paper is in keeping with
the general excellene of the me
chanical end.
I am sure that you are not “fish
ing” for compliments but I take
pleasure in giving you this unsolic
ted and sincere note of congratu
lation and I am sure that your
business men must surely take a
special pride in the knowledge that
their town is getting a paper that
would be credit to a population ten
times what you possess.
Wishing you continued suc
cess. Sincerely yours,
Jas. Holt.
