Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
Be a booster for Newark during
1914.
__L'f.
The man who is driven to drink
is usually a very willing donkey.
There’s plenty of room for more
new buildings in Newark. Let the
good work go on.
The kind of neighbors a man
has depends in a large measure
upon how he treats his neighbors.
The senatorial spat between
Clarke and Kirby promises to be
come quite interesting before it is
over. _
Good intentions sometimes make
bad impressions, but wrong inten
tions very seldom make good im
pressions _
The county candidates are be
ginning to get busy, and the old
fashioned handshake is becoming
quite popular.
No need to find fault with the
Buffalo nickels—we’ll take twenty
of them for a year’s subscription
to The Journal.
*i Talk about making it unani
mous, what’s the matter with
Deckerville? Every white person,
both male and female, in that town
signed the petition for saloon li
cense. __________
It is far easier to train your boy
to do right before he knows any
thing about doing wrong than it
is to restrain him from doing
wrong when he has no desire to
do right. _
The Batesville Guard knocks on
Billie Oldfield because he voted
for Brundidge for U. S. Senator
two years ago. Wonder if the
chief ram-rod of the Guard didn’t
do the same thing?
The highest price ever paid for
land in America was paid recently
when a city lot in New York was
sold for $2,550,(MX), or $307 a
square foot. We’d be willing to
swap our hill farm for a few town
lots like that.
It is stated that 132,000,000
bushels of grain were consumed
in this country last year in the
manufacture of liquors. If this had
been converted into food, thereby
deducting a part of the high cost
of drinking from the high cost of
living, the country would have
been better off and many people
might have been better fed and
better clothed.
The cotton manufacturers claim
I they are losing money because of
I the styles of women’s clothes. But
when “the old man” pays the bills
we’d like to see you convince him
that anybody has lost any money
— except him.
_
We may not all be endowed with
| great talent nor have great ability
but all of us may have sympathy
and good will for our neighbors
and associates, and there are none
of us who cannot be helpful to
somebody else.
The mothers of our country are
largely responsible for the progress
we are making in citizenship and
moral ideas. The people are be
coming more moral and less pro
fligate in spite of the pessimist’s
wail to the contrary.
Let your neighbors know that
you stand for clean politics, good
government and economical ad
ministration. You can do this
without antagonism nnd partisan
feeling. Talk for good government
and against corrupt politics and
selfish politicians.
Old 1913 was a good year for
Newark and the year saw many
improvements and a fair measure
of progress along many lines. But
1914 should be a better one. It
will be, if we all do our best to
advance the best interests of the
town. Newark is OUR town, and
we all should be interested in her
progress and advancement.

Suffered with

After

bottles of
Peruna h e
claims that MR. B. W. D. BARNES,
he was en- McMinnville, Tenn.
t 1 r e 1 y
restored to health.
Catarrh of the throat Is not only an
annoying disease of itself, but it ex
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
Into our throats numerous atmos
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat is healthy the system is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But if the throat is raw ,as>;l
punctured with numerous little ul
cers, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle
the throat as explained In the new
"Ills of Life,” sent free by the Peruna
Co., Columbus, Ohio.
Mr. Barnes says: "I had throat
trouble and had three doctors treat
ing me. All failed to do me ir.y
good, and pronounced my health gone.
I concluded to try Peruna, and after
using four bottles can say I was en
tirely cured.”

Why worry? Helena is still in

The more we learn the more
anxious we are to learn. Those
who feel they know a great deal
are apt to know very little because
their confidence in their own in
formation satisfies their present
i need. Knowledge makes one anx
ious for more knowledge; ignor
ance sati.-fies the ignorant.
Judge Lankford’s withdrawal
from the race for Congress assures
the re-election of Billie Oldfield.
Judge Lanxford would have gath
ered a strong following had he re
mained in the race, but the pres
ent opponent of Congressman Old
field has no more show of going to
Congress than Doc Cook has of
winning the world’s veracity prize.
Cut out this old sympathy rack
et when it comes to selecting offi
cers to serve you in responsible
public positions. Don’t vote for a
man simply because “he needs the
office.” Don’t vote for him simply
because he is a “clever fellow.” if
you were employing a man to
serve you in some important busi
ness capacity, you would look
more carefully to his character
and capabilities. That’s the main
thing, and that's the test in choos
ing public officers.
Our concern should be to make
farm life attractive, not to those
who are going to the city, but for
those who are to remain to pro
duce the nation’s food. Those who
are on their way to the city will
not turn back, but those who are
making good will stay if social and
economic conditions are favorable
for successful farming. The first
consideration should be the rural
schools, which will be responsible
for the ideals of 95 per cent of our
people, whether they live in the
country or go to the city. Farm
and Ranch.
Rev. M. L. Mack, the former
Methodist minister who was last
year pastor of the Sulphur Rock
circuit, and who withdrew from
the ministry at the recent annual
conference at Clarendon, is again
in harness in a newspaper office,
having recently taken a positiun
as foreman in the Marianna Index
office at Marianna. Mack quit
newspaper work several years ago
to enter the ministry, and although
his work in the ministry was sue
cessful, he couldn’t get the print
er’s ink out of his system, and had
to get back where he could hear j
the click of type and*the hum of
the presses and enjoy the odor of
printer’s ink and gasoline.
Announcement has been made
by the Executive Committee of
the Modern Woodmen of America
that they have definitely decided
to abandon the fight to increase
insurance rates and that the ques
tion will not be proposed at the
national head camp meeting to be
held in June unless it originated
from the members. This apparent
ly ends a t itter light that has wag
ed within thf^ocietv since increas
ed rates were ordered at the meet
ing of the head camp in Chicago,
two years ago. Several months
ago the society was enjoined by
the courts from enforcing the new
rates. The M. W. A. was once the
strongest fraternal insurance order
in America, but lost more than a
half million members as a result
of the effort to increase rates.
