FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1908
Make* way for General Prosperty.
He’s coming with both feet, with all
pockets full of money and wearing- a
regular Teddy Roosevelt smile.
At Milwaukee, Wis., recently there
was a great procession in the interest
of anti-prohibition. It is reported of
the parade that the wholesale dealers
and brewers rode in automobiles, the
retailers in carriages the bartenders
on horses and the customers of the
trade walked.
('apt. Win. II. Robinson, for thirty
years a leader in the Republican party
in Virginia, and who is a presidential
elector from the Fifth Virginia dis
trict, came out in a public letter re
cently repudiating Taft, and announc
ing his intention of supporting Bryan.
He gives as his reason for leaving the
Repuplican party that Taft is a Uni
tarian. lie sa\s: “All the money in
the world could not induce me to vote
for a man for President who does not
believe in Jesus Christ.”
The greatest work of a married
couple is not to be beautifully groom
ed, beautifully housed, splendidly fed
and inagnilicently entertained by their
relatives and friends. Their greatest
work is to bring up their children
properly, that they can develop into
exemplary men and women, and there
by benefit the community of which they
are a part. Parents why have suc
ceeded in bringing up such sons and
daughters can consider their lives
a great success whether they have ac
cumulated any great amount of this
world’s goods or not.
BETTER STAY IN ARKANSAS
W. F. Turner, editor of the Atkins
Chronicle, recently returned from an
extended trip through Oklahoma and
Texas. He published quite a nice little
write-up of his trip, the last paragraph!
of which is as follows:
“Our opinion is that the man who
has a little home in Arkansas or just
a little money to invest, is better off
here than either Texas or Oklahoma.
Hands are high, and its true that!
labor is high also. With the amount
of work, economy and thrift here as
shown in the parts we visited, people I
can make more here in proportion to
the amount invested than there. Many
of qur people should count themselves
fortunate in living where they do.”
REAPING THE HARVEST
Prosperity Seed Sown at Sulphur
Rock Promise Bountiful Yield
Sulphur Rock, Aujf, 24.—For the
past two or three years the citizens of
Sulphur Rock have been sowing seed
of prosperity and it seems to the
writer that they are now on the eve of
reaping a rich harvest, for most of
those seed seem to have fallen on
good ground.
About two years ago Mr. John W.
Wood, one of our most interprising
citizens, saw lit to plant saw mill seed,
with the result that we have now one
large mill running daily at its full
capacity, employing a force of about
20 hands.
About the same time the saw mill
seed were sprouting, the citizens con
cluded to sow some telephone seed,
and as a result of their labor they
now have something like 100 full
grown phones hanging to the vine.
Mr. .T. IT. Martin, another one of
our hustling citizens, looked over the
lield (as it is sometimes called) and
deemed it wise to scatter a few gin
seed. And, by the way, these seed
having been of the big boll variety,
the gin is up and growing rapidly
under the supervision of Uncle
“Teddy.”
We understand the Wood Bros,
have planted some “kale seed” which
are doing very nicely and they inform
us that these seed are sure to sprout a
canning factory early next spring.
The dairy seed are l>eing sown far
and wide, and we feel sure that ere
another twelve months rolls around
they will will afford us an abundant
yield.
And, say, had you heard some of
our moneyed men, like “Marbel Top”
(Tug,) “Rev. Pleas Wright” and
others, have conceived the idea of
growing a bank near the center of the
“field” for the sole purpose of hous
ing the products which will Ik1 gathered
from these thriving industries?
Does this look good to you? It
certainly sounds good to us.
Citizen.

the hack and causing her to fall. Cart

FOUGHT FOR HER HUSBAND

C. C. Presley’s court was crowded
when Mrs. Jennie Sharnrn of New
Madrid, Mo., and Miss Jessie Hamil
ton were tried and were fined $7..30
each for fighting and disturbing the

Sharum her husband was the ugliest
man in Missouri, and this caused the
tight.
THE CHRONIC CRITIC
One of the fatal facts about the habit'
of criticising people is that it shows
your own narrowness. A man of j
magnanimous nature, a large-minded
man, a man of broad sypathies, can
always find something good in other
people, and such a man will be always
glad to recognize the good in others,
lie who is in the habit of seeing no j
good is narrow.—Western Methodist. I
YOUNG LADY DROWNS HERSELF
Green Forest, Aug. 24.—Leaving
nothing that would indicate her reas
son for seeking death, Miss Bailey
Usery, 16 years old, jumped into the
Osage river, 12 miles southeast of
here, at !• o'clock this morning, and
was drowned. She is the daughter of
Thos. Usery, a prominent farmer.
