1 Local Doings !
There are several new eases of j
measles in town, but no one i*
dangerously sick from the disease.
Ernest Baker, who spent some
time visiting relatives here and at
Dota, left Tuesday for his home
in Texas.
T. M. Kramer, a good citizen of
Kosie, was in town on business |
yesterday and remembered The |
Journal in a substantial manner.
T. H. Dearing went to Little I
Rock Monday night to assume the I
duties of the committee clerkships j
to which he was elected.
There’s only one thing wrong
with that excellent new sign that
adorns the front of the postoffice
building: It ought to have U. S.
A. on it.
Owing to the illness of some of
the officers-elect, the Royal Neigh
bors installation, which was to
have taken place \\ ednesday
night, has been postponed.
Two of the convicts who are
engaged in the railroad work east
of town, became involved in a
quarrel Monday and one struck
the other on the head with a shov
el, painfully but not seriously in
juring him. The injured man
was taken to the hospital.
D. P. Whisnant is putting in a
plant in Logan township for the
manufacture of slack barrel staves.
Such a plant as that ought to pay
in Newark. There is an endless
quantity of timber around here
suitable for that purpose, and it
should not be allowed to go to
waste.
Secretary Albert Sims of the
Odd Fellows Home of Batesville
assures The Journal that the
Home Band will be in Newark to
furnish music for Trades Day if
they are not detained by sickness
or other unavoidable causes, j
These boys make excellent music.
Come and bring the children and
let them enjoy the music.

HY HOME PAPER
The paper I prize the most
Is not a city daily of renown,
But an eight page pajter
Published in a country town.
Each week patiently I wait its coining,
Wondering what news it will bring,
From the “Famous White river country
Where Alfalfa is the king.”
I eagerly tear off the wrapper.
Its news columns to scan.
Knowing I will get all the news,
For the Editor is a hustling man.
Who is dead, moved or married —
I wonder who it will lie.
As I glance down its columns,
Hoping no deaths to see.
This prized Newark Journal.
Tells all who come and go,
From Sulphur Rock and vicinity,
To the mountains of Salado.
It not only gives the local news,
But it reaches out far and wide;
Gives news from the Mississippi
Across the great divide.
Its type may be set by hand,
And printed on an old-time press,
But every item has an interest,
That impresses me none the less.
It helps us in our perplexities,
When the world gets up-side down,
This same eight page pa[>er,
Published in a country town.
As l read this favored Journal,
Though strange it may seem,
Vividly it brings the little city
To my vision as in a dream.
Of all the papers that I read.
Why I prize this one above.
Because its familiar pages
Are read by those I love.
To The Journal and its many readers, j
Old, young, great and small,
I wish a happy New year,
With love to one and all.
A. R. ALEXANDER.

TRADES DAY
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1911
Free Music All Day by the Odd Fellows Flome Band
If you want to buy or sell anything there will be plenty of opportunities
and all the leading merchants will make reduced prices on some line of staple
merchandise. The Trades Day Sentiment is growing, and should be fostered
and encouraged, as it brings about closer business and social relations be
tween our people. If you believe in this, encourage the movement with your
presence and support. If you have anything to sell bring it to Newark on
Trades Day, and if you havn't got anything to sell come to town and see what
the other fellow has. The very thing you have been wanting may be offered
for sale cheap. And if you have chickens, eggs, butter, potatoes, corn, cot
ton, cotton seed, or any kind of produce, bring it in; our merchants will pay
the highest market price for it.
The Odd Fellows Orphans Home Band of Batesville will furnish music for
the day. Bring the children and let them enjoy the music.
