THE DIVORCE QUESTION
A bill seeking1 to regulate the re
marriage of divorced persons lias been
introduced in the legislature. The
Journal is not informed as to the
provisions of the proposed law, hut it
is our humble opinion that the solu
tion of the divorce question lies with
in the homes, rather than within the
legislate res.
The girl whose early education Iko
been gained on the street, whose self
ishness has been gratified at the ex
pense of her parents and whose prep
aration for the duties of a home-makei
has lack'd an acquaintance with the
common duties of the home, is a stand
ing candidate for the divorce court.
The young man who grows up with
out responsibility, who has wasted hi;
youth and pawned his manhood t(
idle and dissolute habits is another.
The ministers who are asking tin
state to prevent divorce and repress
marriage have their responsibility it
these cases, many of whom have beei
of their Hock and under their spiritua
supervision.
But the parents are mostly respon
sible for the negligence and mistakei
kindness that unfits children for tin
duties of life.
Good fathers usually train goo<
husbands and good mothers usuall;
produce good wives.
Like prohibition, the question o
marriage and divorce seems to res
more upon the early training of th
-* - woMt i viriiu niTM irur inn
People who believe in reform shouh
educate as well as legislate.
The Fruit and Truck Grower
Association has planted sixty acres o
Irish potatoes, and the members ar
now planting strawberries. About (>
acres of strawberries will be plante<
this spring. The success of this move
merit means much to Newark am
vicinity and The Journal hopes tha
every man in the association will d<
his level best to make it succeed.
The jury in the Cooper trial a
Nashville, Tenn., found Col. I). B
Cooper and his son, Robin, guilty o
murder in the second degree for kill
ing Senator E. W. Carmack, and fixei
their punishment at twenty years ii
the penitentiary. Sharp was acquitted
The Coopers have been released or
bond pending an appeal to tin
supreme court.
Newark has one thing which she is
justly proud of, and to which she
largely owes her good name, the inllu
ence of our schools. There is no more
efficient aid to morality, honesty,
sobriety and good citizenship than
well-conducted public schools, and it
is the part of wisdom to keep these ]
schools up to the very highest point ■
of excellency, and to do this there «
must be harmony of four elements, <
viz: The school Itoard, the patrons,
the scholar and the teachers; and with
j out this, perfect success cannot
lip attained: therefore, let it be the
duty of these four elements to see that
no deficiency or hindrances arise on
their parts to thwart the good purposes
of our schools. If factions exist, pray
disband, and give your hearty sanction
and co-operation to the efforts being
made to maintain the excellencies of
our schools, and so enhance their in
terest that they shall stand second to
none in the land.
After all, there is a good deal in talk',
Let a man talk dull times and it is in
fectious, everybody talks dull times.
Instead of rustling around to take
care of what business there is, they all
go sit down and mope over dull times.
If a customer does happen to drop into
one of these “dull times” stores he
actually gets frightened out of one-half
as much as he expected to buy, because
things look so blue. He catches the
spirit of the store and resolves to hang
, on to all his money with a death grip.
The bug-hear of hard times should be
sat down upon. It is doing more to
kill business than anying else. Tell a
man he is sick, keep it up, and you
will eventually hound him to death.
Young people should acquire the
. habit of correct speaking and writing,
and abandon as early as possible any
! use of slang words and phrases. The
, longer you put this off, the more diffi
cult the acquirement of correct lan
guage will be: and if the golden age
of youth, the proper season for the
( acquisition of language, be passed in
. its abuse, the unfortunate victim will
most probably be doomed to talk slang
I for life. You have merely to use the
. language, which you read, instead of
the slang you hear, to form a taste for
f the use of good language.

PiONEER PASSES AWAY
Jeath Claims Uncle Henry McDoniel
White Sitting in a Chair
Uncle Henry McDoniel, one of the
honeers of this section, died very un
expectedly at his home north of town
tarly Wednesday morning while seat
'd in a chair.
He arose Wednesday morning seem
ngly as well as usual, hut expired
suddenly while sitting in a chair wait
ng for breakfast.
He was 82 years old and leaves a
vife and several grand-children, but
io children, having outlived all his
children.
He was a man of generous impulses
and never forgot the hospitable ways
of the pioneer: The stranger, even
though a beggar, never failed to find
food and shelter if he sought it at his
hands. He delighted in kindly and
neighborly deeds. He had borne ad
versity bravely and enjoyed prosperity
quietly. He had tilled the various re
lations of life, as son. brother, hus
band, father and friend, and filled them
well. Who can do more?
Hut he is gone. Another name is
stricken from the ever lessening roll
of old settlers, and a solitary woman
in the sunset of life, and a lonely home
are left to attest how sadly they will
miss him.
He was a man who united sound
common sense with strong convictions,
and was candid and plain spoken, a
man eminently fitted to assist in mould
idg the rude elements of poineer so
ciety into form and consistency, and
aid in raising a high standard of citi
zenship in a young and growing com
munity.
How much this community owes to
him and such as he, it is impossible
to estimate, though it would be a grate
ful task to trace his influence through
many channels; to hold him up in the
various characters as husband and
father, of neighbor and friend; to
speak of his offspring who have grown
up to perpetuate his name and emulate
his virtues. But it comes not within
the scope of this brief article to do so.
Suffice it to say, he lived nobly and
died peacefully at the advanced age of
82 years. The Grim Reaper found
him “as a shock of corn fully ripe for
the harvest.”

well as did Uncle Henry, and fewer
yet will the Angel of Death greet with
so tender a touch.
DECISION REVERSED
The supreme court has reversed the
decision of Judge Fulkerson of the
circuit court in the case of the Big
Bottom Fencing District, appealed
from this county. Judge Fulkerson
held the special lawr unconstitutional
on two points, but the supreme court
has sustained both points. The special
law covering the points at issue was
written by Attorney J. R. Alexander
of this place, anti he declares that he
would have been very much surprised
had the court not sustained the law.

HOT
SPRINGS
Is a noted place for the
cure of blood diaeases,
but it costs money and
lots of it to take a course
of treatment there. It
also takes time Very
few people can spare the
time and money for such
a course of treatment.
It you havn’t the time
and money to go to Hot
Springs, we recommend
that you take Nyal’s Hot
Springs Blood Remedy
’ts the best medicine for
blood and skin diseases
that we ever sold.
