The California legislature and
the Kansas legislature have each
provided for the submission of a
constitutional amendment giving
women the right to vote.
The good old town of Evening
Shade, the capital of Sharp county,
is actually growing some. In 1900
that town had 281 population, and
the 1910 census gives it 289, an
increase of eight.
we nope me juuepciiucncc
County Boys Com Club will put
some new life into the work this
year and show the world that we
can grow prize-winning corn in
Independence county.
With the splendid records of corn
produced per acre in the South
and with the advantages in
climate and so many valuable for
age crops to supplement grain for
feeding stock, it is a discredit for
any farmer to have to buy corn
or hay, except in rare cases of
misfortune.
Black Rock, Beebe and Bald
Knob are the only towns in this
part of the Arkansas that show a
decrejpe in population. In 1900
Black Rock’s population was 1,401;
it is now 1,078. Beebe had 904
population in 1900, and now has
only 873. Bald Knob’s population
was 620 in 1900, and now it is 617.
Marked Tree has enjoyed the
most remarkable growth during
the last ten years of any town in
North Arkansas. Ten years ago,
Marked Tree had 316 population,
one more than Newark had at
that time, but the recent census
shows Marked Tree has grown
somewhat faster than Newark.
Marked Tree now has a population
of 2,026, a gain of 1,710 in ten
years. __________
The census figures just made
public as to the population of sev
eral North Arkansas towns, proves j
one thing conclusively. It is the.
towns whose people are wide;
awake, hustling, pushing, and pro- ;
gressive, that have grown during
the last ten years. The growth,
progress and prosperity of a town '
depends more upon the progress- j
iveness of its people than upon
the location of the town.
Discussing the liquor question,
the Arkansas Democrat says no
man ought ever to be allowed to
sell liquor to a man who is already
drunk. But The Journal fails
to catch the logic of this argument.
If there is no harm in selling a so
ber man something that will make
him drunk and dethrone his reason,
why restrict the sale of it to sober
men? The man who is soggy, lim
ber drunk, seldom if ever commits
crime. It is the common, ordinary
drunk that so often leads to crime
and trouble. If it is wrong to make
a drunk man drunker,is it not also
wrong to make a sober man drunk?
RETURN 174 INDICTflENTS
Newport, Feb. 16.—The grand
jury for the February term of cir
cuit court has concluded its labors
and submitted a final report to the
court before being discharged.
The body returned 171 indictments
having examined 144 witnesses.
The jury reports that gaming and
bootlegging has been conducted in
this city “in a rather public way,’’
and uigc the officers to see that
this does not exist in the futuie,
thus avoiding heavy criminal costs
in the circuit court.
MISS DELLA MELDS DEAD
Miss Della Fields, the only
daughter of G. M. Fields, died
about 5 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing, after an illness of several days
from measles and bronchial pneu
monia. She was 17 years old and
was a most estimable young lady,
whose large circle of friends are
deeply grieved over her death.
She was the second member of
the family to die during the week,
her mother having died about
noon Sunday and the daughter
Wednesday morning.
The bereaved husband and fath
er has the sincere sympathy of the
entire community.
The remains were laid to rest be
side her mother in Blue Springs
cemetery Wednesday evening,
Rev. E. A. Horn conducting the
funeral services.
A more touching scene could not
be depicted than the removal by
death of a mother and daughter,
the only feminine members of a
family within so close a period.
In school and in the home Miss
Della was a general favorite, and
while she has gone from the scene
of the sorrows, conflicts and pleas
ures of life, she will live in the
hearts of those who knew her best.
She was a kind, loving daughter
and an affectionate sister, and her
devotion to the family circle knew
no limit.
Her future was full of promise
and we dare not ask why she was
taken away just as she was enter
ing the threshhold of a bright beau
tiful womanhood. It is sad, indeed,
to witness such a death, but there
is a beautiful sentiment that all
things are for the best. Mankind
must become resigned to the in
evitable, and we should not think
of such a noble life withering as a
flower, but as one transplanted by
a Divine hand into the other world
where it is blooming in richer color
and sweeter fragrance than those
of this earth.
CARD OF THANKS
I want to thank the good people
of the surrounding country for
their kindness shown me and my
family in the death of my beloved
son, Albert, when, on the 29th of
January, his life was so unexpect
edly snuffed out, by him being
thrown by a mule.
Albert was a kind and obedient
son. I know it is natural for a
mother to say this, but it was true
of Albert. He was just turning
into his 22nd year, just developing

“Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has
cured me of heart disease of
over 20 years’ standing. I was
so bad that I could not do my
work, and could scarcely draw
a full breath without fainting or
smothering. The doctor told me
he could do no more for me;
then I commenced taking the
Heart Remedy. I shall never
forget that night. I slept better
than I had before in months. I
kept right on getting better, un
til I was perfectly well.”
MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diffi
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. Dr. Miles’ Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

into manhood. All was well with
him, and fearing no danger, the
dear boy bade his mother goodbye
for the last time with little thought
of the danger ahead. But in the
twinkling of an eye, the cold, icy
hand of Death claimed its victim.
It is hard indeed to give him up,
but God is merciful, and He pours
balm into our wounded hearts. The
world can sympathise with us, but
no one except a mother who has
had the sad experience knows
what it means to give up her boy.
We can never forget his walk, and
will look for his coming, but alas! he
will come no more. The dark and
lonesome house reminds us that his
presence will be with us no more
but that he has gone to man’s last
resting place to remain until the
Lord shall call us all forth to be re
united in a world where sorrow
never comes. Mrs. N. E. Ray.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
A bill appropriating $10,000 for
the erection of a monument to the
women of the Confederacy has
passed both houses.
The disposition of the old state
house seems to be a rather lively
topic among the law-makers and it
,is very uncertain as what they will
do with it.
A bill has been introduced to
give each township the right to
determine for itself whether or
not it shall have a stock law, by
giving it the right to vote on the
question, instead of asking the
legislature for a special act.
Gov. Donaghey has approved
the bill by Senator Raney, requir
ing the Iron Mountain to fence its
right of way through Independence
county, with the exception of that
portion which is in incorporated
towns. The law also requires the
company to settle for stock killed
within thirty days or pay double
its value.
The senate has passed a bill by
Senator Raney to create the Curia
Drainage District in this county.
The senate has paased a bill
prohibiting free lunches in saloons
and the sale of liquor to men who
are drunk.
