FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1904.
Next Wednesday is the longest
day in the year.
Newark must not allow the glor- j
ions Fourth to pass without some j
kind of a celebration.
Two bales of this season’s cot- J
ton crop were marketed at Browns* j
vilie, Tex., the first of this week.
What about a Fourth of July
celebration for Newark? We
should not allow the nation’s
birthday to pass unobserved.
The Journal proposes to be a
strictly democratic paper, there
fore we are for Governor Davis in
preference' to Tom, Dick or Har
ry (Meyers.)
The fact that Independence
county is furnishing the stone to
build our new state capitol is a
distinction that our i>eople should
be very proud of.
It has been intimated that the
republicans or independents will
have a candidate, or perhaps two
candidates, in the field for repre
sentative in this county, but we
are unable to say whether or not
tlit* report is true.
The Newport Independent says
it doesn’t take brilliancy nor wit
to roast. Perhaps not, and we
might add that it does not require
any great amount of wit or bril
liancy to misrepresent things.
Any ordinary idiot can tell a lie.
A prominent club woman re
cently gave to her club the follow
ing motto: There is so much that
is bad in the l>est of us and so much
that is good in the worst of us
that it doesn’t behoove any of us
to say anything about the rest of
us. ________
Governor Davis wrote a friend
in Jonesboro that “stern duty”
would not permit him to commute
the death sentence of Mart Vow
ell to life imprisonment. But on
the next day after Yowell was
hanged, the governor pardoned
two men who had been convicted
of running a blind tigev. Strange
that the governor should forget
his “stern duty” so quickly.
We suppose the action of the
state convention in recognizing
the delegates from Independence
county known as the Davis delega
tion will put that wing of the par
ty in control of affairs in this coun
ty. They have ft full set of cen
tral committeemen and arc thor
oughly organized. But will the
other set of central committeemen
surrender, or will we have two
“democratic” parties in Indepen
dence county? The Journal re
grets very mud) that our county
atfairs are in the condition they
are in, and we hope that that ele
ment of the party known as the
Wood forces will surrender grace
fully to the inevitable and climb
into the band wagon.
Sulphur Rock Rockets.

Quite a number of Sulphur
Rockers went on the excursion to
Cotter Sunday. All say they en
joyed the trip and glad they went,
but we don’t care to go on another

way.
Wc are glad to say that we were
mistaken last week in regard to
Tom Carter being sick. He was
only a isiting relatives at Pocahon

j twice a day on our streets looking
I the very picture of health and we
might add looking as happy as a
big sunflower, but of course lie’s
attending the meetings here.

Paul Ivyler, of Batesvilie, was

Sunday Services.
Editor The Journal
i write to say that 1 have made
arrangements with Bro. Josiah
Martin to be with me next Satur
day and Sunday at Newark to aid
in the ordination of deacons. We
extend a hearty invitation to all
the people in and around Newark
to attend the meeting.
It may be truly said that all
classes of people go to church, but
not all of any one class. The gos
pel has a command, a warning or
a promise for every man and wo
man in this wide, wide world. And
blessed is that one who heeds that
warning; that obeys thakfiommand;
that reaps that promise.
Reader, do you go to church?
If you do not, why not? If you
do go, what do you go for? Read
these lines, then take your pencil
and mark the words that describe
you.
Some folks go for information.
Some folks go for speculation.
Some folks go just for the walk.
Some folks go to laugh and talk.
Some folks go to sleep and nod.
Some folks go as a thing of du
ty.
Some folks go to show their
beauty.
Some folks go (poor sinning
creature) to find some fault with
the humble preacher.
While others go to serve their
r,od. Respectfully,
J. L. Bkow.v.

viz
It is an established fact that, as a rule, Little Rock mer- i
chants retail goods cheaper than St. Louis; that New
port and Batesville retail cheaper than Littie Rock;
and we all know that Newark retails cheaper than
any town in North-east Arkansas, quality con
sidered. Why? Because the smaller the
town, the smaller the expense for rents,
clerk hire, etc., and everybody knows that
our money will buy just as much goods
on the market as that of anybody’s
the United States.
