expect them to be interested.
But let them have the home papei

meet aud of places of which they
are familiar and soon an interesl
is awakened which increases with
every arrival of the local paper.
Thus a habit of reading is formed
aud those children will read the
papers all their lives and become
intelligent men aud women, a cred

knowledge of the worlel as it is to

This paper is indeavoring to giv«
its patrons the best, service that is
possible to give and all that tin
patronage will permit. Our papei
is being frequently complimented
on its appearance and the amount

Our citizens can make the papei

always endeavor to merit the pat

We heard one of our young
men making sport of religion in
front of our office the other day.
His moustache had just begun to
sprout and judging from his men
tal faculties were not as well devel
oped as his moustache. During
| our brief stay upon earth we have
j seen many just such young men
1 cold in death. We have seen the
atheist at rest in his casket, but
before being consigned to their
last resting place they have all
been carried through the doors of
a church and had prayers said over
them. This young man could scoff
at religion in his strength and
beauty of health, but if the dark
angel should get after him he
I would instinctively regret what he
said and look into the future with
fear and trembling. When one
stands before the open door of e
! ternity his desire to scoff at relig
| ion vanishes. We admit there are
i bad men in the church, but even
I these black sheep in the flock
might be blacker if they were out
side. No young man, or old one
either, should condemn the noble
efforts of the army of Christian
men and women are making to
wards bettering the condition of
things, and whether we attend

Do all you can to help along every

business. Do not send away for
everything nice you want and still
expect the home men to keep a
stock to suit the whim of one or
two customers. The success of
your fellow townsman will be your
success. No man liveth to himself
and no mau does business indepen

Take your home paper. Do not
imagine the big dailies fill up all
this space. There are many little
crevices of a good cheer, social
sunshine, personal mention, in the
home paper that the big dailies do
not print. Then do not abuse your
neighbor. The main difference in
the number of his faults and your
own is that you see through a mag
nifying glass as a critic. The ill
omened, the croaker, can do a town
more harm in a minute than two
good citizens can repair in a month.

NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that J
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my booh
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, 1 am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

There is a new expression that
is rapidly gaining acceptance in
Arkansas. It is, “Are You Going?
The uninitiated asks, “Where!”
and the invariable afiswer is, “To
the State Fair.”
TheArkansas Travellers are given
the credit for this phrase method
of advertising the First Annual
State Fair; and many merchants
are daily being greeted with, “Are
You Going?” as soon as a com
mercial traveler enters the door;
and many of the merchants and
other citizens throughout the State
have already begun to answer,
“Yes, I’m Going?

The farmer, if he only knew it,
is a little nearer the kingdom of
heaven than anyone on earth. He
is certain of three square meals a
day and is the only man who can
fence himself in and live in spite
of the rest of mankind. A few
cattle and sheep and fowl provide
him with food and clothing, while
his fields yield him flour and a
source of revenue. So generous
are these provisions and so com

although the ordinaty business
man thinks he has done well
when he reaches the end of the
year and finds that he has a little
more than made ends meet.
