DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION NOW IN SESSION IN SAINT LOUIS
THE EDITOR TRIES
TELLING THE TRUTH
—
It is not pleasant and profit
able always to tell the truth in
the columns of a newspaper.
Men who have tried this here
tofore have always come to
grief. Only a few days ago the
editor of a paper in Indianna
grew tired of being called a
liar, and announced that he
would tell the truth in the near
future; and the next issue of
the paper contained these items.
“John Bonin, the laziest mer
chant in town, made a trip to
Belleville ycsten 1 ay.
“John Coyle, our grocer man
is doing a poor business. His
store is dirty and dusty. How
can he do much?
“Rev. Styx preached last
Sunday night on “Charity.” His
sermon was punk.
“Dave Sonkey died at his
home at this place. The doctor
gave it out heart failure. Whis
key killed him.
“Married—Miss Sylvan Rho
des and James Conlin, last Sat
urday at the Baptist parsonage.
The bride is a very ordinary
town girl, who doesn’t know
any more about cooking than
a jack rabbit, and never helped
her mother three days in her
life. She is not a beauty by any
means, and has a gait like a
duck. The groom is an up-to
date loafer. He has been living
off the old folks at home all
his life, and is notwrrrthshucks.
It will be a hard life.
“Died—John Jones, aged fif
ty-six years, six months and
thirteen days. Deceased was a
very mild-mannered pirate,
with a mouth for whiskey. He
came here in the night with
another man’s wife, and joined
the church at first chance. He
owed us several dollars for the
paper, a large meat bill, and
you could hear him pray six
blocks. He died singing “Jesus
Paid it All,” and we think he is
right; he never paid anything
himself.—Exchange.

Starts your liver without making

F.very druggist in town—your drug

a great falling-off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is taking its glace.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives Letter results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bott'e costs 50 cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for yonr money hack.
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is a pleasant tast
ing, purely vegetable remedy’, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonfut at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
! IVon't lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.

WOMAN KILLED
NEAR JONESBORO
Jonsbopo, June 12.—While
walking on the trackof the Fris
co railroad near Bellefield, a
few miles south of Jonesboro,
last night, Mrs. Turner was in
stantly killed, according to
word received in this city. Her
[husband, who was with her.
escaped injury. Particulars of
the accident could not be as
certained.
NO POLICE NEEDED TO
FIND “MRS.” WASSON
An innocent little local item
in The Journal last week said
that Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Was
son of Batesville were in town
but as the better half of that
particular branch of the Was
son family is somewhere still
coyly awaiting the call of Cu
pid. Mr. Wasson became wor
ried over the mater and wrote!
The Journal if we could locate ;
“Mrs.” Wasson to have the
chief of police detain her and
wire him, as he was extremely
anxious to meet the lady.
But here’s the explanation
of how the item came to appear
in the paper. A certain young
lady who occasionally gathers
up the local news items forThe
Journal was walking down
Front street when she saw what
she avers was the most hand
some young man with the love
liest black hair she ever saw,
go dashing down the street in
an Oakland roadster, with a
perfectly beautiful and lovely
young lady by his side. Her at
tention having been attracted
. by the unusually handsome oc
cupants of such a lovely new
car, and not knowing who they
were, she asked a gentleman
standing nearby (who it later
developed is a special friend
of Mr. Wasson’s) who they
were. “Why, that’s Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie Wasson,” he re
plied. And so it got in the pa
per.
We do not know who the
beautiful young lady was, but
we do know that there are at
least a do/en or more of the
sweetest and most lovely young
ladies in Newark who are just
dying to ride in that handsome
Oakland car. And we are sure
it will not be necessary to call
in the chief of police in order
to get any one of these lovely
young ladies consent to becom
ing known as Mrs. Chas. W.
Wasson. However, Chief Gil
breath is a most obliging and
gallant officer and if Mr. Was
son should find it necessary to
ask for assistance, Chief Gil
breath is a man of experience
in matrimonial affairs, and we
pledge Mr. Wasson all the as
sistance he may need from this
source. There are a number of
obliging ministers here also,
and upon behalf of the young
ladies of Newark, The Journal
extends Mr. Wasson a cordial
imitation to drive down in his
handsome car and meet the fu
ture Mrs. Wasson.
WANTS FARM PRODUCTS
AT STATE DEPARTMENT
A request is being made to
all the farmers and fruit grow
ers nf the state to send exhibits
for permanent display in the
departmnt of the Commissioner
of Agriculture at Little Rock.
Kvt ry man who wants to send
an exhibit is asked to write to
the department for informa
tion that will guide him in
ending stuff of the right size
and shape. There are all sorts
ol exhibits that ought to be
ready now and within the next
tew weeks, including oats and
wheat, potatoes, lx'rries,peach
es nad all sorts of vegetables.
Every person who would like
to make a permanent exhibit
at tin* state capitol that will be
seem by thousands of people is
requested to write tothedepart
nient for instructions.
HOGS AN IMPORTANT
CROP FOR FARMERS
Hogs Worth Nearly sa Much
Per Pound as Cotton and
Cost Great Deal Less
Take good care of your hogs.
Plant some sorghum for them.
The dry hot weather of August
will make grass and greenstuff
mighty scarce and then the
sorghum will come in handy.
Turn the hogs on the sorghum
patch or cut and feed it to them.
Hogs must have plenty of green
food, if you make a success of
them. Every hog raiser should
burn a charcoal kiln. Make a
mixture of equal parts of sul
phur, charcoal and salt, and
let the hogs get to it freely. It
will keep them healthy. Of
course, if your hogs get the
cholera, there is only one thing
to tio—have them vaccinated.
We have a veterinarian who
will go and vaccinate the hogs
free of charge, and furnish the
serum at cost. It will cost you
at the rate of about half a cent
a pound to the weight of your
hogs. Write me if you have
cholera or any other outbreak
among your stock and our vet
ernarian will go and give you
his services free. You can also
get the same service from the
extension division of the Uni
versity, U. S. Department of
Agriculture co-operating. With
these services free the people
should not lose any hogs from
cholera. It is a good idea to
vaccinate whether you have
cholera in your hogs or not.
The treatment will prevent
cholera but not cure it. 1 have
my pigs vaccinated when about
thirty days old. It costs only
about 20 cents a piece and pre
vents cholera for life. Hogs are
worth about ten cents a pound
on the market—almost as much
as cotton. You can raise twice
as many pounds of hogs per
acre as you can of cotton and
at less cost.Take the hog end of
the proposition. Plant peas,
peanuts, clover, grasses, chufas,
sweet potatoes, sorghum and
the like for hogs. They will
gather their own crop without
waste and every pound they
gather is at once converted into
a finished product ready for
the market at a good price and
a good profit.
