The Arkansas Gazette was t>5
years old last Sunday. The Gaz
ette seems to improve with age,
and The Journal hopes that it may
continue to grow better as it
grows older.
The action of Sheriff Kaneaster
in refusing to allow The Journal
to have a representative present
today at the execution of Robert
Crosby is a direct slight to the
people of this end of the county
who rely upon The Journal foi
their information in regard to
county affairs, and they will resent
, the slight in no uncertain manner
if Mr. Kaneaster should be a can
didate to succeed himself two
' years from now.

These figures were compiled from
census statistics, and are positive
proof that the South is destined to
become the greatest agricultural
country in the world.
It is said that the flour trust is
about to make another advance in
prices, but the popular breakfast
foods will perhaps remain within
reach of the common people so j
long as sawdust escapes the clutch- j
es of the trust.
“The making public of our
prices has done more than any
thing else to make our business;
great," says the Theodore Max
Held Company, of Batesville.
1'his Hrm are great advertisers,
and advertise not only in the pa
pers of their own county, but in
quite a number of papers in sur
rounding count ies. This is a great
tribute to the value of advertising,
coming as it does from one of the
oldest established houses in this
part of the state, and contains food
for reflection for the one-horse
merchant who claims that “it is
not necessary to for him to adver
tise. because everybody knows
him anyway.”
THE BEE’S UN BOTTLED
WRATH.
The Batesville Bee seems to
think The Journal committed an
unpardonable crime in publishing
Trailer's letter last week, and ^
took no notice of the fact that 'Hie •
Journal stated editorially that
no one would take seriously
his charges against our county of-1
ticials.
The editor of the Bee is well j
aware of the fact that there is not
a man in the county who enter
tains a higher opinion of our coun-!
ty officials than does the editor of j
this paper, and the Bee’s effort to j
thus make a mountain of a mole
hill is nothing more or less than
the outcroppings of its innate pre
judice against Newark and The
i Journal.
It is an unpardonable crime for
Hie Journal to publish anything
that casts the least reflection on
; Batesville or any of her people,
and they threaten us with prose
cution for libel, and have, on pre
vious occasions, even summoned
employes of The Journal before
the grand jury and attempted to
have that body indict us for saying

naughty things about Bates vi lie
and her people, fmt the Batesvilie
papers never fail to heap unwar
ranted abuse upon Newark at the
least provocation, and jtoke poli
tical jibes and sneers at us. and

I he Journal has nothing against
the people of Batesville. Some
good people live there, and a few
of them (hut very few, however,)
have been and are friends of The
Journal. Some of them, however,
have it in for us. and without
cause, except that we refuse toj
keep our backbone tied up in
splints of their make. But we
can stand that, and this little epi
sode should teacli our indignant
brother that it is a long lane (hat
never turns.
