FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1904.
THAT DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
“It was daylight robbery," says
the Walnut Ridge Journal in
speaking of the Gall game which
took place here last week between
Newark and Walnut Ridge, and
the Walnut Ridge paper says that
if another game should he arrang
ed to he played between the teams
at Walnut Ridge, the Ridge peo
ple will teach the Xewarkers a
lesson in courtesy.
Now, that would he real nice in
our neighbors of the Ridge, but
we must confess that if they should
do such a thing, they would not he
following the example set by their
friend, (?) the Walnut Ridge
Journal.
Jf there in such a won I as
“courtesy” in the above mention
ed paper's code of rules, it is plain
ly evident tlmt it was snugly hid
den away in some secluded spot
when the brilliant editor of that
sheet uncorked the rusty little
opening beneath his hat in his
false and unwarranted attack up
on the Newark team and her citi
zens,
From the reckless manner in
which our brother handles the
truth we feel safe in saying
that he is also a total stranger to
veracity. In fact, the general
trend of his article indicates that
he is a sworn enemy to truth, and
his contempt for the people of any
town who might defeat "Walnut
Kidge is only surpassed by that
of his contempt for the truth.
Our brother should acquaint
himself with the truth and use
more of it in his business it
might help him. Any ordinary
idiot can tell a lie, but it some
times requires the courage of a
Dewey to tell the truth. And
there is where the whole trouble
rests. The Ridge boys came down
here confident of defeating New
ark, but they failed to do so, and
when they got back homo their
courage failed, also.
As to tin' umpire, there is not
a more honest man in Newark
or Walnut Ridge, either, as for
that matter than Charley Ed
wards. And we presume that he
knows about as much about base
ball as does the gent with the de
formed bump of vanity who pre
sides over the destiny of the Wal
nut Ridge Journal.
If this had been the first time
Newark had ever defeated Walnut
Ridge, some people might believe
some of the tommy rot our brother
has dished out, but Newark went
up and defeated Walnut Ridge on
her own diamond some time ago.
Some people can't stand defeat,
you know it makes them sick.
And being naturally of a billions
temperment and goaded by their
second defeat, it was quite natural
for our brother to vo.nit up a
whole column of falsehoods in his
efforts to make it appeal thatAN al
nut Ridge was not fairly beaten.
1 iLEC TION COMM ISS ION Elio.
The state board of election com
missioners, composed of (fox. Da
vis, Attorney General Murph.x
and Secretary of State Crockett,
met Tuesday afternoon in the of
fice of the secretary of state ai
Little Rock and selected county
election commissioners for every
county in the state, except two
Garland and Polk.
Interest in the appointments has
been statewide owing to the fact
that Governor Davis and the oth
er members of the board have
been at outs for some time.
It has been freely predicted that
the governor would be allowed no
voice in the selection of the com
missioners, t»ut it seems that he
succeeded in landing a number of
his friends. In Independence,
however, the men nominated by
the governor were turned down
by the other members of the
board.
The commissioners for this coun
ty are R. A. Dowdy and B. F.
Mayhuc, democrats, ano J. II.
Rogers, republican. The men
nominated by Governor Davis
were J. A. Lancaster and Geo. L.
Green.
The Journal would like to see
the city council hike some action
in regard to draining that pond
just west of the depot. It is a
serious drawback to Newark, and
if it is ever going to be drained
its time to do something.
* . . . .
It seems that Poplar 151 nil is al
so infested with thieves and day
light robbers. The Walnut Kidge
baseball team met defeat up there
last iSunday.
(trover Cleveland congratulates
the country that he was President.
And the country congratulates
itself that he will never be Presi
dent again.

Wajton Ran Away.
Kditor '1'he Journal:
Curious things will happen
1 alnmt Newark. La-t Sunday af
ternoon a wagon belonging to Kl
bert Arnold was standing in the
■ street near A. B. JDutf’s barn with
no team near it or no one about it.
A widow who had been visiting
m loss the street passed by, and
Sunny says the wagon took a
fright and ran away, anti he does
not know how far it would have
gone had it not oame in contact
with d. 1. Sturdivant’s fence. The
widow is a very sprightly individ
ual and it may be that in walking
she hit the ground with such vim
i that the vibration of the earth put
I the wagon in motion. Slim Jim.
