THE JOFRNAL STILL 1IKKK.
The announcement made last
week in the Batesville Guard that
the editor of Die .Journal had
bought the Batesville Bee ami
would consolidate the two papers,
was a little premature. I he var
ious owners of the Bee have made
I n Ml -
of The Journal during the past
two or three years to sell out to
The Journal, and it seemed a few
days ago that the deal might he
consuinated, but we have learned
from experience that a deal of any
kind i< never made until the mon
ey is paid over and the purchaser
given possession of the property.
Kor this reason The Journal said
nothing of the proposed deal, and
requested the Guard to do like
wise, but it seems that the report
gained credence that the deal was
closed, and the Guard and othei*
papers published it as a matter of
news.
The editor of The Journal has
■not paid for the Bee and is not in
possession of tin* plant, therefoie
we insist that we have not bought
it, and may never buy it.
However no man knows what
the future holds in store for him.
and it is tin* ambition of every
struggling young newspaper man
to establish himself at some thriv
ing county seat where there i~
naturally a wider held and greatei
opportunities.
The proposed deal lor the Her
was not the result of any ill " d
toward Newark, or any lack of ap
preciation, on our part, of tin
patronage given 1 he Journal by
those who do now and have alway
patronized the paper. However
a mere glance at the columns o
the paper will show that some o

TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS.
You are invited to pay our store a call, and inspect
| the many new and up-to-date good things we have so
1 carefully selected and bought for the season.
We Ask for Your Patronage Purely
on Business Principles.
There is a great difference in stores. Some have but
| one object-sell. We have three-sell, satisfy and accom
modate. We make it a part of our business to satisfy
our customers. Come in and get youi Easter Shoes and
Clothing here. We have just received a full line. It has
become an unwritten law that young men shall diess
| well and neatly. We can dress both old and young better
| than any other store in town at any given price.
Your patronage respectfully solicited.

in town are now and always have
ignored the pa]>er.
But, whether we remain in New
ark, or whether we assume the
role of a Happy Hooligan, and en
gage in a rainbow chase that lands
us in “dear ole Lunnon,” we
shall always remember with pro
found gratitude and with the warm
est and tenderest feelings of friend
ship, the many friends we have
made in Newark and the surround
ing country, and hope we shall
never do anything to cause them
the loss of either a penny, tinan
'cially, or their respect for us as a;
man.
But, for the present at least.
The Journal is still in Newark, and
when it leaves, if it ever does, our
friends will be notified of the tact,
and due precautions taken to see
that none of them shall become fi
nancially embarrassed by our de
parture. ______________
AS TO FARM RAISED BOYS.
A few of the parents who live
in the country get in a hurr.v to
rush their boys into the city t’oi
employment. Usually when the
boys have almost reached man
hood is early enough, and some
i times too early. A writer, whose
name has slipped our memory, re
jcently had this to say, and it is
worthy of consideration: “The
reason why farm raised boys
achieve success in all lines of bus
iness and professions is not far to
seek. It is due primarially to the
: habits of industry and thrift and
I self reliance which he acquires in
youth and retains through man
hood. The farm boy learns to
‘get up early, and if there are any
jot’ those proverbial fat worms
■around this bright bird is apt to
catch them. He has half a day s
work done before the city boy has
left Ins downy couoii. as ne uses
early so lie retires at a seemly
hour, healthy, wearied with his
| work and in a condition to enjoy
nature's sweet restorer, balmy
j sleep, as only a tired country boy
knows how. He grows up strong,
healthy and energetic and best of
all has that equipment for world
ly success, a sound mind in a
sound body. — Magnolia Banner.
