HOW ABOUT YOUR BOY?
Do You Know Who His Associates
Are When he is Loafing on
the Streets at NightP
From a little town in this state
a Imj.v was sentenced to the peni
tentiary. His old mother clung to
him sobbing when he was taken
from the court room back to jail
after the sentence had been pro
nounced and lie shook her off
roughly. “You are to blame for
what I am,’’ he said, and when
she reminded him that she had al
ways loved and petted him, he
answered:
“That’s what 1 blame you for.
If you had made me obey you,
had. taught me that my parents
knew what was best for me instead
of allowing me to go my own way
and laugh at my boyish mischief,
I would not be where I am now."
This was a terrible arraignment
for a chihl to make of its parents.
Hut it was a just one. If that
mother had reared that boy with
less fear of hurting his feelings or
spoiling his pleasure, he might
have been saved to good citizen
ship. But his parents let him drift.
He was a spoiled and petted darl
ing. Gradually made bad associ
ates, and bad associates are like
cockle burs;you can't get rid of
them. And from merely associat
ing with evil companions, the boy
was drifted into evil ways and the
pat)) led him to the penitentiary,
Mothers and fathers are under a
moral obligation to society, to the
Estate and to the Providence that
trusted them with the rearing of
children, to rear those children
rightly. All the love that your
heart holds for your boy won’t
save him unless you teach right
from wrong until he reaches the
age of responsibility.
Inure arc boys in every city,
boy* of good families, who need
very sorely parental wateli full ness.
I >o you know where your boy
is after a reasonable hour at night.'
lie ought to be at home.
If he is away after bedtime and
you don't know where he is you
may safel.\ take it for granted
that ho is where he ought not to
be. There’s nothing doing on the
streets after bedtime and no boy
has an.v business wandering up
and down town after that hour.
The boys are the salvation of
the country, the brains and brawn
of tomorrow, the statesmen of a
latter day, the makers of all that
make a nation.
So mothers and fathers don’t
you think that you owe it to your
boy and to society and yourself to
know where he is at night and who
his associates are
His place is at home at night or
else with associates whom jou
know you can trust.
And be mighty careful how
many you trust.

THE OIL TROUGH COUNTRY
Traveling Man Was Favorably Im
pressed With the Famous
“Oil Trough” Bottom.
“The famous ‘oil trough’ .sec
tion in Independence and Jackson
counties is blossoming like a
rose,” said a traveling man at Lit
tle Hock recently to a Gazette re
porter. “It is one of the most
fertile areas in Arkansas and the
fortunate farmers there are living
in ease and comfort. By the way,
I heard how that rich stretch of
lands got its name, ‘Oil Trough.’
In the early days that country was
full of bears and the hunters had
a harvest. Bear oil was a staple
and plentiful commodity and the
method of shipping it was unique.
Troughs were hewn in logs and
the oil placed therein and thus
transported to market. Hence
the designation ‘Oil Trough.’ The
town of Oil Trough on White Riv
er is enjoying a steady and sub
stantial growth. The placentas
been platted off in tracts 250 x 300
feet and these are being acquired
by prosperous farmers in the sur
rounding country who desire to
make the town their home. (Jul.
L. Pearce, the democrat ic nominee
for circuit clerk of Independence
county, is one of the leading citi
zens of that section and lie tells
me the people there were never
more prosperous. One of the
sources of their prosperity is the
growing of alfalfa, which has l>e
come a great revenue-producer in
that section. As much as five crops
a year are made and the product
has a ready sale. The town of Oil
Trough is five miles from Newark
and ten miles from Newport. It
must lie a pretty healthful country
for I noticed when I was in that
section a few days ago a number
of old people who have lived there
from their infancy.”
Night Was Her Terror,
■ I would cough nearly ail night
long” writes Mrs. (Jhas. Apple
gale. of Alexandria, Ind., ■ and
could hardly get any sleep. I had
consumption so bad that, if I walk
ed a block I would cough fright
fully and spit blood, but, when all
other medicines failed, throe$1,00
bottles of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery wholly cured me and I gained
iW pounds.” It's absolutely guar
anteed to cure coughs, eolds. la
grippe, bronchitis and all throat
and lung troubles. Price 50c and
$1.00. Trial bottles free at J. 1.
Sturdivant’s drug store.

lmvo resulted at points not yet
heard from. The large, three-sto
ry furniture house of K. A. Dyer,
on West Broad street, was com
pletely unroofed, and every floor
was flooded to a depth of several
inches.
I he damage sustained to the
stock will reach several thousand
dollars. No tornado insurance was
carried.
The rains of this morning and
this afternoon were terrific, the
heaviest that lias fallen here in
June for many years.
