Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
A town is like a plant—it may
grow anyway; but it will grow
faster if it is cultivated.
Man can dodge a good many
things, but it is mighty hard for
him to dodge his conscience.
Neighborhood gossip does not
benefit society and never fails to j
injure those who make themselves
a party to it.
——— ■■■■■ ■ ...
Some people seem to think that
alleys are maintained as places
where they may indiscriminately
deposit their waste and filth.
We ought not to hesitate to
lend a little assistance to public
enterprises in the town or com
munity that furnishes us our liv
ing. _
The banker is an important man
in the business life of any com
munity, but do not give him your
note for money to buy things you
do not need.
He is a shallow patriot who is
for the country but not for the
town, and it is very probable that
the biggest thing he has to rally
around is a mail order catalog.
Our Arkansas folks should re
in ember that the farm is the best
place on earth to live, and that
the Arkansas farm is the equal of
any and the superior of most of
the farms of the nation.
The easiest inonev a man ac
quires comes from the increasing
value of his home or other pro
perty. Therefore about the most;
important work he can do is to
help the community grow.
In Chicot county, according to
the recent scholastic census, the
negroes outnumber the white peo
ple about seven to one. There are
9,942 persons of school age in that
county, and of this number only
1,237 are white and 8,705 are
negroes. No, thanks, we have no
desire to move to Chicot county.
Much has been said about the
high cost of living, but the great
est danger is the cost of high liv
ing. Those who live above their
income may well dread the high
cost of living, and carefully avoid
the cost of high living.

People are getting together in
many localities of the state and
building good roads. Are we going
to sit back and take the world
easy and do nothing here in In
dependence county, and then this
winter when the roads get bad,
cuss the weather and the road
overseer? A lot of mighty good
work could be done on the roads
between now and crop gathering
time if our folks who pretend to
believe in good roads would or
ganize their forces and get busy.
There are plenty of roads that
need the work, and plenty of peo
ple to work them, so why not fall
in line with a united effort and do
the thing that we know we ought
to do?
BATESVILLE BOY DROWNS
Batesville, Aug. 2.—Davis King,
a youth of 12 years, was drowned
in the Bayou here yesterday. He
was in wading with a crowd of
boys, at a shallow place near the
railroad bridge. He could not
swim, and others of the party who
could had gone out further into
the waters of the bayou. Young
King never attempted to follow,
but he stepped over a stepoff into
water over his head, and when he
screamed for help his companions
rushed to him, but too late to save
his life. His dead body was found
afterwards a short distance from
where he sank.

ARKANSAS
There is a land so fair and bright,
Where nature did her work all right,
For with it you can find no flaw,
It is the land of Arkansas.
Its soil is rich! Its climate grand,
With beauties found on every hand,
Majestic forests, prairies raw,
Are seen all over Arkansas.
To man of muscle, mind or will,
Who has the grit to (ill the bill,
Just take a chance, and make a draw,
There are no blanks in Arkansas.
With virgin forests it does abound,
As fine as on the globe are found;
If you want trees without a (law,
Just pack and pull for Arkansas.
If mining- is your choice trade,
The soil with wealth is underlaid,
Come bring your pa and bringyour ma,
For they’ll be blest in Arkansas.
If raising fruit is your delight,
And you would see a pretty sight,
A great big crop, juicy to chaw,
Just plant your trees in Arkansas!
If raising stock is your desire,
The truth may make me seem a liar:
The food’s so rich when eaten raw,
The stock grow fat in Arkansas!
If peaceful farming is your choice,
And in the fall you would rejoice,
With crops all in ’fore freeze and thaw
Then raise your stuff in Arkansas!
The climate’s fine the year around,
As any place that can be found,
For glorious weather is the law,
That rules the State of Arkansas!
No paradise on earth is found,
That lasts a man the year around,
The hardest [dace to pick a (law,
Is the one spot called Arkansas.
Oh, Arkansas! Could Moses have
stood
On thy highest peak, I think he would
Have thought, as he gazed on scenes
so grand,
That he had entered the promised
' land!
