It’s Qtiality
That Counts
You don’t buy a wagon often,
and when you buy you want
one that will give you full val
ue for the money you invest.
The Birdsell Wagons
are the best made. They are
made for hard service and are
worth the money. Come and
look them over and get prices.

The Newark Journal
PUBLISHED EVER". FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post office at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1911
The “Sunk Lands Bill” refuses
to sink, and seems to be playing
an important part in Arkansas
politics just now.
Its good to have money and
things that money can buy; but
its good, too, to check up occasion
ally and make sure you havn’t
lost the things that money can’t
buy. _
Good conduct, culture and char
acter are graces that go through
life hand in hand, and never sep
arate or alone. Fortunate, indeed,
is he who has more than a speak
ing acquaintance with each.
Statistics show that the sales of
farm implements increased more
than five hundred per cent in Ar
kansas during the past year. We
do not knowr of anything that
would show, more convincingly,
the rapid growth and progress of
the state. _________
There were actually an even
dozen news items in the Imboden
Gazette last wreek. We’d be will
ing to pay any man thirty cents re
ward to put us “next” to the se
cret of working a hoodoo as suc
cessfully as some folks seem to be
working it.
We notice that the Arkansas
Gazette publishes an editorial re
cently published in The Journal
and credits it to the DcVails Bluff
Democrat. That’s all right; but
we hope the Gazette will not pub
lish the Democrat’s editorials and
credit them to The Journal,
It may surprise you but it is
true, nevertheless, that Arkansas
has more federal pensioners and
receives more pension money than
any of the states of the Confeder
acy except Tennessee. There are
10,567 federal pensioners in Ar
kansas and they received last year
a total of $1,642,005.
A. distinguished New York doc
tor declares that anumber of Amer
ican medicinal springs “are de
pendent for their fame principally
upon the fact that a brilliant so
cial life exists at these places,” and
we note that he includes Hot
Springs, Arkansas, in the list. Doc
ought to bring his grouch down to
Hot Springs and get himself boiled
loose from it.
Senator Davis claims that he is
keeping hands off the governor’s
race, but we notice he never loses
an opportunity to tell the people
that they made a mistake when
they elected Donaghey. Jeff’s
fight on Donaghey has always
made friends for Donaghey, and if
Jeff will just put a little more gin
ger in his attacks upon the gover
nor his re-election is assured.
Here is a good thought from
Phillip Brooks: Sad will be the
lay for every man when he be
comes absolutely contented with
the life that he is living, with the
thoughts that, he is thinking, with
the deeds he is doing; when there
Is not forever beating at the doors
jf his soul some great desire to do
something larger, which he knows
that he was meant and made to do
because he is still the child of God.
Newport got so much religion
during the Burk-Hobbs revival
that they close up the drug stores,
:igar stands and soda fountains
down thereon Sunday now. New
converts to most any cause are
usually so eager to do something
that they overdo the thing. As a
rule, there are, in all towns, far
worse things than Sunday soda
fountains. If all forms of vice
have been cleaned up clean to the
Sunday soda fountain, Newport is
a model town, morally, and we are
certainly glad to know that we
have such good neighbors.

INDEPENDENCE
COUNTY VS. PEARCE
It seems that there has been
quite a bit of comment pro and con
relative to a case which was deter
mind in chancery court here Satur
day in which Independence county
was plaintiff and former County
Judge Cul. L. Pearce was defend
ant.
The suit grew out of the ques
tion of allowing Judge Pearce pay
for the duties performed by him as
ex-officio road commissioner of the
county. Several years ago the of
fice of road commissioner was
abolished, and the quorum court
imposed these duties upon the
county judge, there being however
no provision of law fixing any fees
or pay for such services.
Near the end of Judge Pearce’s
term, by appointment of the gover
nor, a special judge was seclected
and allowed Judge Pearce the
sum of $322 for services rendered
during the two years as road com
misssioner. An appeal was taken
from this ruling by C. M. Flinn to
the circuit court, with S. B. Wy
cough, a former county judge, and
J. C. Stroud as sureties for the
costs. Under the present admin
istration the suit was caused to be
revived in the name of the county,
and upon a hearing before the
chancery court Saturday, the claim
of Judge Pearce was disallowed.
In the hearing of the matter
there was no contention made by
the county that the services had
not been rendered, or that the
amount allowed Judge Pearce
was unreasonable or unjust, but
for the reason that the legislature
had made no direct provision for
pay for these services.
Two former county judges, to
wit, Judge G. J. Lindsey, and
Judge S. B. Wycough, were allow
ed pay at the rate of $2 per day
for services rendered as ex-officio
road commissioners, which allow
ances were approved by the differ
ent quorum courts during their
administration. As the levying
court last year endorsed this allow
ance to Judge Pearce, just the
same as had been done by his two
immediate predecessors, the case
will be appealed to the supreme
court, upon the theory that the
levying court had the authority
to make this provision for the
roads of the county, and that the

FORMER CITIZEN WRITES
Editor The Journal.—As I have
recently moved from your county,
I thought I would write a few
lines through your good paper to
my many friends back there. We
are located in Iron county, Mis
souri, on the Belleview valley, two
miles from the town of Belleview.
This is a beautiful country, and
the people all look stout and
healthy. There is no sickness
that I know of.
Land here is very productive.
It will produce most anything that
is adapted to the climate. The
people raise wheat, corn, oats, hay,
and vegetables of all kinks. There
is all kinds of stocK in abundance.
They feed their com and hay to "
their stock, then market their
stock—that is the way they get
money out of their crops. The
credit system is not the custom
here, as it is there.
There is good schools and soci
eties of all kinds.
It seems like times had changed
very radically, seeing the big fat
hogs in the pens ready for the
butcher.
I have rented a farm condition
ally for the year. The boys and I
are getting all the work that we
can do on the farm, therefore we
can pay our expenses until we can
make a crop.
I send respects to all, especially
Bro. Tom Henderson, who was so
kind to me. J. A. Bird,
Belleview, Mo.

The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.

Good Livor
Remedy Free
When you suffer from any form of
indigestion it is always well to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have a bloaty feeling after eating, if
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric
luices so that they will aid in the di
gestion of your food. A very good rem
edy for this, and one highly recom
mended by those who have used it is
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which you
can obtain of any druggist at fifty
cents or one dollar a bottle. But if you
have any doubt about Us merits, and
would prefer to try It first, send your
iddress to Dr. Caldwell and he will
promptly send you a free sample bot

Thousands of people first learned of
•his remarkable cure for stomach liver
ind bowel troubles through a free sam

sent for one and It cured her and she
,s open in saying that she will never

is Syrup Pepsin acts so mildly. Mr
