2 MASKED ROBBERS
Jlade a Bold Attempt at
' Clarendon Depot.
'Fired Several Shots at the Agent

' Hscape.
Clarendon, April 4.—Ar. at
tempt was made last night at 11 •
40 o’clock to rob the Cotton Belt
depot at this place. At that hour
a noise was made at the door
leading from the white waiting
room to the ticket office. Night
Agent Wt I b, thinking somebody
wanted t<> buy a ticket, went to
the door, which opens at the top
and leaves th° lower half locked,
and was about to ask what was
desired, when two pistols were
pointed at him and he was cmn
. luanded to hold up his hands.
He immediately struck the pistols
side, dropped behind the door
and lan into llie colored waiting
room- The robbers, who were
masked, tired five or six shots
after l he agent and into the office,
then rail out and rapidly disap
peared down the railroad track
toward the Midland. Maisfial
Boardman amt Sheriff Milwee
- were notified by telephone, and
soon arrived at the depot, Jack

brougot down and tried, but

obtain a clue that would discover

Crow as a Diet.
Some people believe that be
cause the crow's feathers are

that lie is not a good and proper
bird to mike a meal of. lint

Jtut the riglit way to out crow is
to take him raw. Then the true
flavor of the beast manifests it
self. The Democrat editor may
have t*he bird prepared to suit
bis fancy, with or without, off or
on, warm or cold, as ho prefers.
T hat leap from the bridge is too
dangeious—might result in a
tragedy or scare the ti-di.
Anyone who has a four-prong
folk.a briar cutter and a butch

for an evening, will please put
them off in frontof the Democrat
office.. Ordinary eating utensils
arc too light to stand the strain.
The feast will begin at once.

What Kills a Town.
People in too many cpmmuni
ties waste their time in making
faces. They will wreck their
own interests in injuiiog some
one else. They permit envy and
jealousy to blind their judgment —
dominate their actions. To build
'up a town people must pull to
gether, not pull down. ]u private
business they uni t compete. In
the public business they must co
operate. Any other policy is sil
ly and suicidal, and the evidence
of a small mind. New communi
ties stand together better than
old ones, in which are animosities
of l ing standing, social and pro*
fessional rivalries and deep-seated
grudges. Hence, the e lder rea
douts Very frequently become big
i ■
oted and stubborn and • 'oan, and
first-class funerals become public

imperious and prosperous off a
community untill be cares noth
ing for it. stands in the way of its
progress, and can serve it in no
better way us well as getting out

“Father, 1 had a very funny

replied, “the Loul came to me
last night and gave me a stick of

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
i Another Improvement For
the Good Town.
C. J. Alagness Will Add a Local
Telephone System toTown’*
flany Improvements.
It gives The Journal pleasure to
announce that Newark is to have a
local telephone system.
C. J. Magness canvassed the
town Monday and succeeded in
securing enough subscribers to
make the proposition a certainty.
As assurance that it will be push
ed to a successful termination, un
less a large number of patrons who
have already subscribed refuse to
fulltil their agreement, it is only
necessary to state that Charley is
himself the eheif promoter of the
enterprise, for everyone knows
that when he decides to do a thin,
there is no ‘'monkeyin’ ” about
doing it.
The poles and necessary fix
tures have been ordered and it is
expected that the system will be
in working order inside of 30 days.
The system will start with about
forty ’phones.
This will be one of the most val
uable additions to the public im
provements of the town that New
ark has yet acquired, and when
the system is once in and in work
ing order the people will wonder
how they ever got along before
without a ’phone.
The Journal heartily congratu
lates Mr. Magness on his enter
prise in taking hold of this matter
and pushing it to a successful con
clusion, and trusts that, as the
town continues to grow and pros
per, it may become a source of
much pleasure and profit to him.
