FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER ‘22, 1903
The Arkansas railroad commis
sion Has called upon the railroads
*>i>erating in this state for a com
Jdete list of all the persons to
^Avhom passes have been issued dur
/ ing the year. It would be inter
i osting to know just how many of
•our state and minor officials have
been riding on passes ami we sin
cerely hope the commission will
publish the list.
The Batesville Guard is now
publishing a daily edition, the
first issue having made its appear
ance several days ago. \Y e have
cot been favored with a copy,
therefore cannot say whether it is
good, bad or indifferent. In fact
the Guard extends but few court
esies to The Journal, having ap
parently soured on us when we de
clined to bow with it at the shrine
of Senator .Jones a few years ago.
But the Guard’s frozen face looks
about as good to us as its Sunday
X_
Governor Davis and Attorney
General Holers engaged in anoth
er of their disgusting Punch
and .Judy exhibitions over at Rog
ers last Tuesday, and the crowd,
as usual, howled itself hoarse. If
these long-eared gentlemen (?) per
sist in going around over the state
on their hind legs, waving their
ears and braying at each other af
ter this fashion, some fellow ought
to lariat them and lead them off to
some secluded thicket over in the
Sunken Lands and securely chain
’em up to some good healthy sap
ling. _
The wealth produced by the
liens of the United States amounts
to quite a snug sum annually, and
is said to exceed the value of Inith
the corn and wheat crops of this
country. And, by way of com
ment, it might be stated that this
wealth is produced at less cost to
the farmer than anything produc
ed upon the farm. It costs him
practically nothing to raise a good
sized flock of fowls; and as a prac
tical example of the protits to be
derived therefrom, we call atten
tion to the fact that one man sold
1.42 worth of eggs in Newark
last Saturday. Sam Scribner
brought in led dozen which In*
sold to Whiting Ac Company at
fourteen cents a dozen, which
brought him Money in
chickens? Well we should smile!
Get you a few old hens, save up
the wealth they produce, re-in vest
and keep turning it and you will
soon be able to buy a small farm.

,The error was only discovered af- j
i ter the forms were put to press,
| and we hasten to correct it, lest
| some ’sputin’ preacher lands on us
i like a bushel of over-ripe eggs.
An errorless newspaper, even in
; this enlightened age, would soon
j perish from its own lonesomeness,
j We are all liable to err, and if a
;few hundred mistakes would make
i a haystack it would be impossible
j to get through this country except
in an airship.
Isiamism was established by
Mohammed about 600 A. I). He
was born in Mecca, Arabia, in
570 or 571 (history is not positive
of the date) and was the only son
of Abdallah and Amina. lie was
j left an orphan in infancy and was
formerly thought to have been
highly cultivated, but this theory
is now exploded. However, he is
conceeded to have been a very
serious and thoughtful man, and
at the age of forty had attained a
ripeness of character and distinct
ness of aim and views which read
ily distinguished him among his
fellows, and it was about this time
that he began preaching the doc
trine of Islam and proclaimed him
self a prophet of (iod. He espec
ially insisted on the unity of (iod
and denounced all kinds of idola
, try, but his followers were very
few for several years. The Ko
reisites headed by Abu Sophion.
resolved to put Mohammed to
j death, but he escaped by fleeing
I from Mecca.
Persuason, long tried with but
little success by Mohammed and
! his followers at length gave place
j to force and war, and in 62o the
I battle of Beder—the first of a long
| series of successful battles by
which the faith of Islam was es
tablished—took place, and Mo
hammedism was established over
a large portion of the world and
gained a hold that nearly thirteen
centuries has not broken.

III Along the Kona
The David Bradley Double Cam
Steel Hay Press
is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can't beat it. It has all the strong points, will put full
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in end let's talk this matter over. You can't tell all
about the David Bradley Press lust from the picture.
