The Journal is pleased to note
that the free school facilities of our
town are attracting the attention
of a very desirable class of people.
A good school is an important fac
tor in the upbuilding of a town.
The Batesville Guard has in
stalled a new newspaper press and
is also putting in a typesetting
machine. The Guard will no
doubt feel quite metropolitan
when it gets all its machinery in
running order.
There is absolutely no reason
why some enterprising citizen
should not make a comfortable
fortune at Newark raising poul
try. There is always a ready
market for poultry and eggs at a
good price and there is no more
favorable location in the state for
the poultry business than Newark.1
The Journal notices that there
is some talk of changing thecourse
of the proposed drainage ditch,
and, instead of turning south at
Newark and running into Mud
creek, to continue on an eastward
course into Black liver. This is a
much better route in our opinion
than the original route, as it would
drain more territory and would
perhaps cost no more than a ditch
on the original route. When the
ditch is dug it should be so con
structed as to drain as much ter
ritory as practicable at the least
proportionate cost, and if the mat
ter was properly taken up it might
be possible to get the ditch through
on this route instead of the old
one.
A Paragould paper says: “The !
canning factory at Paragould has]
closed for the year. The season ]
opened August 1, and since that
time thecannery turned out s5,000 !
cans of tomatoes, all of which
found a ready market at home. I
The farmers of Greene county will
plant more tomatoes next year.’’ '
The Journal has repeatedly called
attention to the growing need of a j
canning factory in Newark, but i
the people seem very indifferent
about the matter. There is no;
reason in the world why a can- i
ning factory here would not pay,
ami unless the citizens of Newark
ifet a move on them and make
some effort to get some industrial
enterprises of this kind, they will
avvaken from their Rip Van Win
kle snooze some tine day to find
that other more progressive towns I
have left us so far in the rear that
Newark will be practically a dead
town. ________
People in this part of the coun
try have but little idea of the dam
age being wrought by the Mexi
can cotton l)oll weevil in Texas.
Farm and Ranch says the travel
of this insect across Texas and
Louisiana has shaken the cotton
farming system as though an army
with cannon had invaded thecoun
j try. The great industry of the
| South is consumed as though by
fire. It eats out the prosperity of
the individual and the community,
depopulates counties and shakes
the financial standing of the state.
A farmer in Eastern Texas, where
cotton is the staple crop, writes
that paper that instead of gather
ing a thousand pounds of seed cot
ton per acre he will gather only
about a hundred pounds. His con
dition is only typical of the gener
al condition over nearly the entire
cotton belt of Louisiana and Tex
AS THE JOURNAL SEES IT
Some people seem to think that
their subscription to a newspaper
carries with it the right to dictate
the editorial policy of the paper,
but those who think they can dic
tate to The Journal simply l>e
eause they are subscribers, will
find themselves badly mistaken.
We believe that we come about as
near giving our readers the worth
of their one dollar a year as is pos
sible for a local paper to do in a
town of this size, and we hardly
feel like throwing in with each
subscription a certificate giving
the subscriber authority to say
what our opinions shall lieon mat
ters of publk? interest.
The Journal never advocates
anything it thinks would prove

detrimental to the welfare of the
community. In other words,
when we take sides on any issue
we carefully weigh the matter,
using as much reason and common
sense as we are able to muster,
and then advocate that which we
think will prove the greatest good
to the greatest number. The wel
fare of The Journal depends, to a
large extent, upon the welfare of
the community and for that reas
on it would be worse than foolish
for us to advocate anything that
would prove detrimental to the
community. Of course we are
human and may make mistakes
we don’t claim to be perfect- but
The Journal can always be depend
ed upon to speak its sentiments,
honestly and fearlessly. We grant
others the same privilege and
think none the less of any man be
cause he diilers from us: and fur
thermore, if he wants to place any
reasonable argument before the
public bearing upon his sideof the
question, he will always find the
columns of The Journal open to
him.
If this isn’t absolute fairness,
we are free to confess that we do
not know what fairness is.
