Independence county should have a
creditable exhibit at the state fair at
Hot Springs this fall. It would be
worth a great deal to the county.
The weeds are becoming prominent
in some of the streets and alleys and
other places in town. The city board
of health should fret busy and see that
things are cleaned up a little.
A Little Koek man has been ordered
by Judge Trieber of the federal court
to dig up $1().(42.57 or go to jail. But
a man can afford to go to jail several
times for sixteen thousand dollars.
True politeness is accompanied by
the calm self-possession which belongs
to a noble simplicity of purpose, and
unless you cultivate it and exercise it
upon all occasions and toward all
persons it will never be a part of
yourself.
The United States, although the
youngest among nations, manufactures
more goods, sells more merchandise,
raises more produce, employs more la
bor, pays more wages, gives more com
forts to its people. Inis more happy
and prosperous homes than any nation
on earth. _
UVshould lie glad to see all chil
dren grow to useful manhood and
womanhood. They should be trained
a:on_ the line-, of industry. In short
the tome ought to be a sort of schodl
for manual training, that through this
useful occupation the real bent of the
child’s mind might he ready perceived.

enough of both to make work and
pleasure alike enjoyable and refresh
ing. Thus the child might l>e trained
in useful ways and obtain the physical
vigor impossible by too great a strain
put upon the child inclined to
studious habits.
An agressive business policy on the
part of our business men, reaching out
j for everything within reach, encourag
! ing all would-l»e comers, expending
i money when a two-fold return is reas
i onably certain, it would seem, is one
I of the ways to ln*st build up a city. A
town is what its people make it. It
may slowly grow by the little accre
tions that accidentally fall within its
j influence, or it can be pushed into vig
! orous and rapid growth by the aggres
sive activity of its business men.
In order that a town or city may
make a substantial and steady growth
it must have factories so as to induce
people to make their home there. Peo
ple will Hock where there is employ
ment. City or public work will give
employment to but few men, and that
1 only for a portion of the year. The
question of securing factories and
other sources of employment must be
agitated and inducements held out to
either the citizens or outsiders to in
vestigate the possibilities of success
fully operating plants here.
The Brinkley Citizen seems to be
laboring under the delusion that the
burden of electing Billie Oldfield to
congress in November will be upon
the Democrats of the southern end of
the district. Not so. Mr. Oldfield
will carry every county in the district
by as great a majority as any man the
Democrats ever nominated for con
gress. If it can’t dig up anything
worse to worry over than its fancied
idea that Billie Oldfield must depend
upon the Southern end of the district
for his election, the Citizen might as
well hang its old Jong face out on the
back yard fence in the sunshine and
; come over and join the Optomists.

COURT HOUSE BURNED
Harrison, July (i.—Shortly after 2
o'clock Sunday morning1 the Boone
county court-house, located at this
place, burned to the ground.
The building was an old one, built
in the early seventies, anil was worth
probably less than $10,000, but a more
serious los> will Is* sustained by the
property owners by the loss and dam
age of records in the recorder's office
where a poorly constructed vault a
lowed the lire to enter and burn many
ini port a n t record s.
The records kept in the more recent
ly constueted vault in the county
clerk'soflice was practically uninjured.
The building was insured for >o.
The cause, of the lire is generally
conceded to be accidental, as no motive
is apparent for the destruction.

cai! another a liar over in Morgan
