NEWARK-.A FULL TOGETHER
Then1 is no room for doubt but that
Newark, with the united efforts of her
enterprising citizens, can greatly in
crease im business and enhance the
value of all kinds of property. Every
thing' indieat - a forward movement.
The high standard of morality here is
causing many to look this way with a
view of locating. Our excellent
school is a feature greatly appreci
ated by the ln-st people of this sec
tion, and is proving one of th • town's
most attractive features.
As a trading and shipping j oint,
Newark is already ahead of any place
in this section of country. No place
of its size in the state receives greater
shipments of merchandise or sends
out more cotton, corn, hay. live stock
and poultry.
Our business houses carry as com
plete lines of staple goods as can be
found in any town of this size, and
good-, can he bought here as cheap as
any. ere.
Now, as many art; thinking and
talking of coming here to locate, lei
all giveribem words of encouragemeni
and a hearty welcome to this goodi\
land of jteace and abundance. Kn
courage those who are worthy,whethei
they have capital or not. Labor is
worth money. Those who have money
will buy lots, build houses or re-mod
el old ones. Let us work and stimu
late every legitimate enterprise by giv
ing it all the friendly and substantia
encouragement we can. and unite oui
energy, intelligence and capital in i
common ca se for the good of oui
town.
Let us cultivate a public spirit
and grumble less and work more.
Encourage the local authorities ir
making public improvements.
Speak up, speak well: talk encour
agingly of Newark and it> bright pros
pects. It is these many little consid
erations that help make a town grow.
Nature has lavishly showered upoi
us her choicest blessings, and with
[km’feet unity and effort for the good
of our common cause, great will be
the result. _
When a man in search of a home oi
a business location goes into a towr
and finds its people full of hope and
enthusiasm over the prospects of the
jdace, he, too. soon becomes imbued
with tiie same spirit, decides that ht
bah found a good town, and settles
down and goes to work with equal
interest. It pays to be a booster.
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PRICE
Anythin# that is worth having costs
somethin#. The harder a thin# is to
come into possession of, the #reater its
value; but, always, if we pay the price
the thin# is ours.
Success in any line of endeavor, or
in any undertakin#, is no exception to
this rule. And the price of success is
within the reach of any youn# man or
woman who has the will power to
climb the mountains of obstacles, no
matter how hi#h, or cross the rivers,
1 no matter how deep.
There are no flowery beds of ease
alon# the way to success. That would
! l>e like #ettin# somethin# for nothin#,
and success never comes as a Christ
mas gift.
Review' the lives of the men who
have climbed to the top. Kvery man
has paid the price. lie has mastered
every detail of his chosen work from
the lowest to the highest position.
It was doing the little things well
that made it possible for him to reach
tie next round above—that really
made him what he wanted to he.
Desire plus the price equals success,
just as two plus two equals four.
It is the belief of Representative
Sheppard of Texas that raw cotton is '
suitable for a larger variety of uses
than those which it is now put to, and
he has introduced a bill in congress
directing the secretary of agriculture
to institute a systematic inquiry into
the matter. The bill authorizes and
directs the secretary to make an in
vestigation into the use and substitu
tion of raw cotton for other articles in
various manufactures in the United
States, and cause to be promulgated
a report thereon embracing data cov

which raw cotton may enter; facts as
to the cost of using cotton compared
with articles for which it may he sub
stituted; relative adaptability, and
other information that might be used
in a campaign for the increased use
of American cotton among the manu
facturers of this country. Mr. Shep
pard seems to be on the right track,
and The Journal hopes the investiga
tion will result beneficially to the cot
ton growers._
Booklets outlining the plan for the
Boys’ Corn Clubs and corn growing
contests in Arkansas are l>eing dis
tributed. They can be secured from
our county examiner, Sidney Pickens,
at Sulphur Rock, or by addressing
Geo. B. Cook, state superintendent,
or Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of
agriculture at Little Rock. This con
test is open to all boys from ten to
twenty years of age. County and
state prizes will be given and the con
testants will be recorded as co-oper
tors with the state and national de
partments. The Journal hopes to see
several boys in this community enter
the contest._
According to the last federal census,
there were lit) white illiterates to the
thousand in Arkansas; 142 in Tennes
see: 14* in Alabama; 1!>5 in North
Carolina; 119 in Georgia; 12* in Ken
tucky, and 80 in Mississippi. Arkan
sas ranks well in the list, but we j
should not allow the people of any
Southern state to outstrip us in educa
tional matters.

The President’s barber has lieen in
the limelight, and considerable com
ment was caused by the discovery that
the negro barber who shaves the
President is carried on the payroll of
the government at $1,000 a year. All
lie does is shave the President, and
that is all he has done for years.
This seems to be a means of getting
something for nothing commonly prac
ticed among high officials at Wash
ington. Men are hired by the govern
ment at from $!HN) to $1,800 a year to
act as valets, lackeys and servants of
officeholders who thus escape the ne
cessity of paying their help out of
their own pockets. It is nothing more
nor less than common, plain, unvar
nished graft. And yet Mr. Roosevelt
poses as a reformer.
There will be some warm times in the
political arena in Arkansas when
Congressman Brundidge and Senator
■Teff Davis meet on the stump in their
race for United States senator. Mr. .
Brundidge is recognized as one of the
iblest men in congress, and stands :
second to none in the state as a cam- i
laigner and public debator. He is a |
strongman with the people, having
lever once betrayed their confidence
luring all the years he has been in 1
mblic life.

The busy men and women of the
ivorld are those who have attained
greatness. Many such have endured 1
hardships and practiced rigid econo
my to enable them to meet the demands
of a large family: and the greatest
men America ever produced have been
men who labored with hands and
brain. After acquiring a competency,
and remembering the years that are
gone, most of them admit that their
working years were their happiest
If your friend goes wrong, even
greviously wrong, it is br.se in you to
desert him. Then, more than ever, does
lie need your help and friendship, and
on the supposition that he has been a
true friend, he is entitled to it. Of
course, you can neither approve or
condone his wrong-doing. It may be
come your painful duty to tell him,
with the utmost candor, what you
think of his faults, but never to kick
him while everybody else is kicking.
The hen cackles because she has
something to advertise. She believes
in publicity and publishes abroad the
arrival of a new invoice of goods.
Learn of the hen and be wise. Many
a merchant has goods on his shelves
because he doesn’t “cackle” and let
the people know what he has to sell.
The number of deaths from con
sumption is greater in Tennessee than
in any other state in the South, while
the number of deaths in Arkansas
from the same disease is smaller
than any other state in the South,
except Virginia and Florida.
Push! If you can’t push, pull. If
you can't neither push nor pull, please
get out of the road. In other words,
grab hold somewhere and do some
thing or get run over,jp*i left behind.
t'resident-elect ran nas set nimsell
to the ta>k of changing the political
complexion of the South. Mr. Taft is
a great man, but we doubt his ability
to accomplish the task.
Why not form an improvement dis
trict in Newark for the purpose of
putting in waterworks and electrict
lights? Many other towns no larger
than Newark have them.
The legislators could do a good
deed by passing a law consolidating
the State and National elections. We
have too many elections in Arkansas.
When a man is too busy to take
time to laugh, its a good sign that
you had better be on your guard when
you do h -;ness with him.
Few men a: honest from policy.
A man is either honest from principle
or else he is not honest at all.
Io be nusiness-like, according to
the up-to-date idea, is to know how to
skin the other fellow.
