FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1900
Regardless of their disbelief in
.signs, there is one sign which
everybody believes in, and that’s
the dollar sign.
The first bale of new cotton for
this season to arrive in New York
was sold at auction Tuesday and
brought 40 cents a pound.
The Newport News recently
changed its name-to the Newport
Democrat, and incidentally threw
a good big bouquet at itself.
For the first time in 172 years, j
the town of Ste. Genevieve, Mo., j
as dry, the saloons having closed
their doors a few days ago. The j
town was founded in 1735, and;
this is the first time since the j
founding of the town that the su-1
loons have been closed.
A St. Louis Saw maker favors a
law making it a misdemeanor to
attempt suicide, punishable by a
'fine of from $5.) to $500. It is
rather hard to say whether such
a law would lessen the number of
suicides, or whether it would only
cause those attempting self-de
struction to be more careful to
make a sure job of it.
Did you ever stop to consider
the fact that one of these days
timber is going to be a scarce ar
ticle in this country'( The country,
as a whole, consumes every year
between three aud four times as
much timber as grows during the
same period. Statistics say that
■each person in the United States

time's as much wood as is used by
each person in Europe.
Some of the papers over at
^Newport are wrangling among
themselves over their Democracy.
The fact is, there is not a real
Democratic paper in Jackson
county. They are all owned by
(former Republicans, and men who
are yet Republicans at heart. The
gjot never gains anything by call
ing the kettle black, and the Jack
600 county papers can never gain
Anything by di seeding each other’s
politics._
It is said that the United States
seuatorship contest will open some
time during the month of July. It
as generally believed that Con
gressman 8. llrundidge of Searcy
will oppose Senator .las. P. Clarke.
In fact, close political friends of
Mr. Brundidge say he will posi
tively be in the race and shortly
tnake announcement of the fact.
It is probable that he and Senator
Olarke mill make a joint canvass
of the state, as was done by the
senator and former Senator Jas.
Iv. Jones four years ago. The
question will bo settled in the
Democratic general primary to be
held next March.
A LESSON FOR NEWARK
The Bulletin says there is fully
200 acres of tomatoes in cultiva
tion it Baxter county this season,
150 acres of which are around
Gassville and have been contracted
for by the Gassville canning fac
tory. These tomatoes are expect
ed to net the growers $50 per acre,
which means that the farmers
around Gassville will get over
$7,000 for their tomato crop this
season. The crop will soon be
I ready to begin harvesting, anc
1 will put a goodly sum of money ic
circulation during what is usually
considered the dullest season oi
the year.
There is a good lesson in this
for the people of Newark if they
| would but give it a moment’s seri
ous thought. There is not a more
suitable location in the state for a
canning factory than right here in
Newark, and we have urged the
people time after time to take the
matter up in a business-like man
ner and build a factory, but they
seem to take but little interest in
the matter.
Are we going to drag along ir
the same old rut forever and never
make any effort to get some in
dustrial enterprises of this kind?
Do we want and expect Newark
to grow and her people to become
prosperous and independent, or dc
we expect to just go along in the
same old easy going, slip-shod
manner, and never make any effort
to get industrial enterprises that
will put money in the pockets of
our people and help to build up
the town? The Journal would like
for every man who owns property
in Newark to give these questions
a few minutes serious thought.
No man who has a speck of am
bition, or who is worth the powder
and lead it would take to kill him,
wants to content himself with the
idea that he will never make any
material progress in the world, or
never accumulate anything. The
man who can do that is an absolute
curse, not only to himself, but to
his race and to the community in
which he happens to exist. And,
to be right plain about it, the peo
ple of Newark are verging too
near upon this condition for their
own safety and for the good of the
community. What we need to do
is to wake up, do some thinking,
get a move on, put our heads,
hands and pocket books together
and entablish some industrial en
terprises that will pull us out of

the rut, put more money into cir- !
culation and bring more people to |
the town.
One tiling is sure, a few of our j
people may become reasonably j
prosperous—may accumulate,
enough to put them on easy street
—but the great majority of the
people will never get much above
financial serfdom so long as we de
pend solely upon the present sys
tem of agriculture now in vogue
in the community. It will take
other things, and a start must be
made sometime. We cannot ex !
peet to establish immense raanu- !
factoring plants here, but little j;
things often lead togreatert hings, >
and there is no small enterprise !
which we could get that would be i
of more financial benefit to our i
people than a canning factory.
Now, if you have a whit's inter
est in your own welfare and the
welfare of the town, think over
this matter.
PASTOR’S COLUMN
(Continued from page 1)
But there is another thing.;
| Reverence; not for men, but for j
| God in a superlative sense. Ai
! mother once said to her son who
. . . . . !
I was* t'liiug uut iu uc a miiiisiei ;
I “Son, never forget to be polite!
land reverential to old people.”
The boy has tried to hold fast the
good advice though, he has for
gotten many times. Real rever
ence for God is about the basis for !
it for aged people. He who re
gards not God, regards few others.
Once a man said who did not re
gard God, “I don't give a d
for any body but my mother, wife
and children.” He regarded them
not for the real sake of humanity,
but because of the tie of blood,
birth and marriage.
Oh! such lack of all the enobling
elements that go to make a man
polite, grateful and reverential!
It is the dominancy of these that
distinguishes man from the brute.
And of all brutes that out-brutes
the whole of the brute creation, is
the brutal man. May God have 1
mercy on him and show him by ;
his great grace a better day.
