An exchange truthfully says:
‘"A newspaper may boom a town
through its editorial and news col
umns, but a critical investor looks
to tin? advertising columns for sub
stantial evidences of push and life.

indicates the healthy condition of

they tell him whether or not the
community is up to the times in
business matt-ess. *’

ANOTHER OPINION.
“What has become of the estab
lished rule of state’s evidence,
which has been recognized as an el
ement in erimnal prosecution ev er
since there has been any law?" re
marked an old jurist in speaking
of the acquittal.
“As 1 understand Judge Lea'
instructions, they were that the
evidence of the accomplices ha^ ric
weight whatever except as it ma.\
l>e corroborated by other evidence.
As 1 understand it, this is not the
law and never has been, else tin
rule of state's evidence might a;
well be abolished."

CROP REPORT.
The government bureau’s crop
i report for Arkansas for the week
ending July •>, says, the tempera
ture was seasonable, with frequent
and in many sections heavy ruins,
| As a result all crops are getting
foul with weeds and grass, and are
needing cultivation. Cotton is
growing rapidly, and in some sec
tions is going too much to weed;
| as a rule the crop is badly in the
grass and needs cultivation; chop
! ping is retarded by wet weather
and is not yet completed. ( onsid
erable early corn has been laid by, <
some in weeds but most in good j
condition; late corn needs cultiva
tion. Considerable oats and '■
' i wheat were cnt; outs are a good
I
crop, but wheat is light in yield
but of excellent quality. Potatoes
are a fair to good crop.
Greatly In Demand.

The David Bradley Double Gam
Steel Hey Press
is the favorite because it is the simplest press ever made.
You can't beat it. It has all the strong points, will put full
weight into a car, is easy and light to move, and it can’t go
wrong or get out of order because there is nothing about it
to get out of order. Just a plunger, a double cam and a
plunger draw. But they are well made. That’s the secret.
Come in and let’s talk this matter over. You can’t tell all
about the David Bradley Press Just from the picture.
