An Enjoyable Occasion.
Editor The Journal:
The farmers of the Mayhan set
tlement enjoyed an old-fashioned
fish-fry at Berkley on Black river
Saturday. The writer arrived on
the ground about 10 o’clock and
found a crowd of 53 persons. The
ladies were then frying fish, and
about 11 o’clock the tables were
spread about 40 feet in length.
About a bushel of fish was piled
on them, besides an immense
quantity of other edibles carried
from home. Of all the eating of
fish that ever took place, it was
done then and there.
I don't think I ever saw as much
fish eaten by one man as Bennett
Miachels eat. Rube Broils cat ev
erything off the table within reach
of him and then moved over to
another place and eat everything
in reach. But Will Neal had to
look at his new wife so much I
don’t think he eat enough. if
Harry Mayhan had time to speak
from the time he sat down until he
got up, I didn't hear him; and 1
had to raise Tom Magness from
the table with my own hands. Af
ter eating every bite it looked like
he could eat, Tom Duff took his
hook and line and went to the riv
er, dog like, to catch more fish,but
as good luck would have it, he
never got a nibble.
Alec Bailey isn't much of a hand
to ask any one to go home with
him, but as we were all full and
Imd plenty left over for supper,
Alec asked the whole crowd to go
home with him.
After listening to a few yarns
from one and another for awhile,
we all loaded up and left for home.
No accidents happened during
the day, except that Mr. Allen fell
out of the wagon on the way home,
being a little overloaded with fish,
but was not seriously hurt.
Frank Gregory furnished music
for the occasion.
A Participant.

Startling Evidence.
Fresh testimony in great quant

Newark 6, Walnut Ridge 5.
One of the most interesting hall
games of the season was played at
Walnut Ridge Friday between the
Walnut liidge and Newark teams.
The game resulted in a victory for
Newark by a score of 5 to 0, but
it took the tenth inning to decide
the game, the score standing 5 to
5 at the close of the ninth.
65,312 Crates of Berries.
Judsonia, May 27.—Few Ark
ansans have a proper conception
of the magnitude of the berry
growing industry in this stab; gen
erally and in the Judsonia district
particularly. The season here is
closing now and the records show
that 65,312 crates of strawberries
have been shipped from here this
i year. This means many thous
ands of dollars to the berry growers
and work at good pay for an army
of berry pickers.

Worst of all Experience.
Can anything be worse than to
feel that every minute will be

ience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, De
catur, Ala. “For three years” she
writes, “I endured insufferable
pain indigestion, stomach and

evitable when doctors and all rem
edies failed. At length I was in
duced to try Electric Bitters and
the result was miraculous. I im
proved at once and now I’m com

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Our Great System of Free Schools
is the Bulwark of American Lib
erty and Good Citizenship.
Throughout this broad land the
public schools are to-day the cen
ter of attraction. Each morning
if one could look down upon the
plains and valleys of this country
he could see the millions of young
boys and girls with book-satchel
and lunch-basket trudging along
towards the country school-house.
These children are the men and
women of the future. Is it any
wonder, then, that the school
house is the present center of at
traction to the American people?
Fond parents watch over their
children with tender care and af
fection until they reach the proper
age to receive a special training—
a training that may only be ob
tained in the public schools. Then
the children are given over to oft
times poorly paid but patient
teachers who complete the mental
training that was begun by father
and mother.
In America’s public schools
there is no sectarianism, no rank,
no aristocracy—there all children
are on a footing of equality, and
each one is offered an opportunity
to develop the mind in a manner
not equaled in any other country
of the world. Any child that is
deprived of a public school train
ing in this country is kept from
acquiring a liberal education that
comes from intermingling with all
sorts of American boys and girls.
Possibly there are some parents
who do not realize the full value
of a public school education for
their children, and who do not
take advantage of the opportunity
offered by the free schools to equip
their boys and girls for life’s stren
uous struggle. Let us hope that
there are few such parents, and
upon them we bestow our pity. No
parents should for any reason de
prive their children of the training
and discipline to be acquired by
attending the public schools whose
sterling precepts are both a shield
and a sword in life’s great battle.
The public schools should be the
pride and should have the encour
agement of every citizen of this
republic, and every oue should do
all in his power to foster and im
prove America’s great and nation
al system of free education which
teaches our children practical and
positive knowledge, and at tho
same time imbues their minds with
an unfaltering love and loyalty to
our Hag and our country.
