A book agent sold more than
$800 worth of books in Cotter one
dajv last week. Cotter was former
ly considered a better market for
booze than anything else, but^ince

seems that the people up there are
taking up a research for knowl
edge. _
A story comes from Holland,
Mich., which, if true, entitles F.
T. Mother of that place to the
world’s championship as the most
prolific man now living. According
to the story, Mr. Mether is the
father of thirty children, all of
whom are now living. Mether’s
first wife gave birth to six children
and his present helpmeet is the
mother of twenty-four. Mrs.
Mether is 45 and her husband is

Superintendent Mashburn of the
Deaf Mute Institute at Little
Rock is calling the atten
tion of the county examiners
to the fact that the law requires
them to report the name, age,
parent or guardian and address of
all deaf, mute or blind children.
Superintendent Mashburn wants
to get in touch with every such
child in the state, and for the good
of such children, all school direc
tors should not fail to report them
to the examiners in the annual
enumeration reports, for it is only
from these reports that the county
examiner can report them to the
superintendent of the deaf mute
instititute.
The two-cent rate law went into
effect in Missouri at <5 o’clock

old rate of three cents a mile, not
withstanding the two cent rate law
is now in effect in each state un
less they buy a ticket to the state
line, then cross over and buy an
other ticket to their destination.
The Stone County News-Demo
crat is offering to bet some of its
large coin that the next circuit
judge of this district will be a
Stone county “scissor bill.” That s
news to us, and if the News Demo
crat knows to a certainty that the
aforementioned “scissor bill" is
carrying the judgeship around in
his vest pocket, we believe it
ought to tell the people who he is.
GIVE US FIGURES
The Newport News attempts to
grow satirical over the local mar
ket report published in The Jour
nal, and says the farmers around
Newport wouldn’t milk the cow,
if the milk churned itself, nor
gather up the eggs, if they mar
keted themselves, at the prices
quoted in The Journal.
Verily, the most inveterate liar
; will stagger upon the truth oc
cassionally, and, in this instance,
the News has unconsciously told
the truth—a majority of the farm
ers around Newport are a shiftless
set and are too trifling to gather
up eggs, even if they were worth
25 cent a dozen. The editor of
j this paper happens to know some
! thing about some of the farmers
around Newport, having lived
among them himself, and, foolish
; as it may seem, we have actually
seen some of them go to town just
before Christmas, when eggs were
selling at 40 to 50 cents a dozen,
and buy eggs to make a Christmas
egg-nog. They passed as good
farmers too, in their neighborhood
—they raised from 40 to 100 acres
of cotton every year, and invari
ably came out in debt—that's the
preeminent mark of a good farmer
in the News man’s estimation.
In that country the farmer who
would gather up eggs, chickens
and butter and take them to .mar
ket, loses his standing and reputa
tion in the community and is look-,
ed upon as a suspicious character.
The chickens, eggs and butter
sold at Newark in one year by the j
farmers of this community amount
to quite a nice little sum, not to I
mention the hogs, cattle, corn, hay |
and other farm products. If Jack
son county had the money that is
paid to the farmers of this com
munity in one year for poultry and
eggs, she could pay herself out of
debt, and quit having to issue,
scrip, worth about 40 cent less than
! I
par.
If Newport is such a good mar
ket for the farmer’s produce, why ,
don’t the News publish the market
quotation .' We notice that it never
does this. It’s up to the News to j
prove that Newport is a better j
! market than Newark, and it will;
j take fiures to do it. Mere asser- j
tions never prove anything, except
the ignorance of some people.
