FRIDAY MAY 13, 1910
Arkansas is generally believed |
by outsiders to be the home of
mosquitos and malaria, but statis
tics show that more persons reach
the age of threescore years in Ar- |
kansas than in many other states ;
that are reputed to be much health-!
ler.
Whatever investigations into the
high cost of living may show, it is
safe to say that meat, feed and
produce will be high till more are
produced on our farms. Those
who wish to profit by high prices
must produce the articles that are
bringing high prices.
The character of the man is
more important than the party he
represents. There are good men in
all parties and bad men sometimes
get nominations from all parties.
We should carefully inquire into
both the public acts and private
character of every man before we
give him our support for office.—
Farm and Rauch.
Its time for the people of New
ark to bury their political and fac
tional differences and get together
in a united ellort to build up the
town. No town or community can I
prosper that is eternally torn as
under by factional scraps and j
strife. We need a united pull on
the part of every man, woman and
child in town for everything that
will help Newark to become a big
ger, better and more prosperous!

THINKS JEFF A RUNNER
A good many papers in differ
ent parts of the state are predict
ing the defeat of Senator Jeff Dav
is in the next primaries. The Rec
ord has never made much reputa
tion ax a Davis organ, but for a
chunk of gold dust we would guess
that Jeff will succeed himself in
the Cnited States senate. When it
comes to running for office in Ar
kansas, JeffDavis long ago proved
himself a footer of the ring-tailed
variety. Sharp County Record.

the Arkansas legislature and oth
ers alleged to have been connected
with certain illegal transactions in
the legislature of 1!K>5 were dis
missed from the docket when call
ed for trial in the Pulaski Circuit
: Court at Little Rock Monday.
Thus ends a rather shady chap

involved.

lows:

NEWPORT PROHIS WIN
Three Mile Petition Against Sale
of Liquor Granted by Court
The district within three miles
of the Newport public school
building on Walnut Street became
dry territory at 3 o’clock Wed
nesday afternoon, when .Judge H.
S. Simmons entered an order in
accordance with the prayer of the
petitioners.
The number of names of adult
petitioners upon the instruments
tiled was l*»u7, which under the
census of the district embraced,
showing 2848 people entitled to
be heard, gave the petitioners a
majority of 3t>6 over those not
signing who number 1241.
Under this act of the court,
Newport becomes dry territory by
petition for at least two years, un
less an appeal be taken to the
higher court and the act reveised.
Under the provisions or the three
mile law, advertising and solicting
of liquor orders are put under the
ban and intoxicating liquors can
neither be sold nor given away,
which will make the lot of the
bootlegger even more hazardous
than in the past and his conviction
easier. — Newport Independent.
ONLY A HOG AFTER ALL
My son, consider the hog. lie
toils not, neither does he spin, but
he is worth close on 11 cents a
pound on the hoof, and he is get
ting so exclusive that only the
very best cirles are able to enter
tain him. He waxes fat at his leis
ure, knows no labor, and travels to
market in a special car. Just at
first thought the hog seems to be
considerable of a personage, but
still is only a hog, and he really
isn't worthy of emulation. There
are a good many persons who
adopt his ways, however, anil fat
ten on what other people have
gathered together. Their ambition
runs more to gross weight than
quality, and like the hog they are
despised. A hog isn’t worth a
tiling until he is placed on the mar
ket. He serves no useful purpose
while he lives, and it is only as he
gathers fat that he adds value. He
is the symbol of grepd and bad
manners, has a bad diposition and
is a social outcast—but he is selling
at nearly 11 cents a pound and
that is why he is sometimes emu
lated.—Ex.
