LABOR VS. LOAFING
It may sound a little startling' but it
is said to be true, that more . oung men
arelearniujjtrades in the penitentiaries
than out of them, beease p,rents are
trying to make clerks, doctors, law
yers and even preachers out of ma
terial intended for blacksmiths, car
penters and other trades of mechanics.
The trouble is the boys are eager to
avoid the labor of life, and too anxious
to follow some calling that will not
soil their hands, and parents are re
sponsible for this. Do; s should be
taught that there is mr.ro dignity in
manual labor than n loafing, and
inn i»». lmn/n> in t e' i 1 i . e li.<in In rlr.iw.n
dence. The Arkuusas farmer hoy of
today will find that v/ith the same
energy and push employed on the tat m
which he would have to use in a pro
fession, even to make iuir success, he
will spend the decling years of his life
in ease and happiness.

WERE YOU THERE?
Did you go to Sunday school last
Sunday, or did you go down town to
sit around, gape. sneeze and kill time,
and waste an opportunity worthy of
better use? Did you—you it is that is
meant, not your neighbor. Wake up.
you sluggard, and shake oil your
drowsiness, and help do something
that will bless yourself and others

BABY'S NECK BROKEN
Corning, Sept. 11.—The five-year-old
son of Win. Baker was thrown from a
carriage and killed yesterday. IIi>
ir-ck was broken by the fall. The baby
bad been left in the carriage while his
father was opening a gate, and the
team ran away, overturning the car
riage when it struck a corner of the
barn.
THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
(Continued from page 1)
the said amendment was defeated.
The committee on temperance com
mended the Anti-Saloon League as a
part of its report, but the report was
no sooner made than a convention
brothermoved to amend by striking out
all recommendation of the Anti-Sa
loon League. His motion prevailed.
The Baptist State Association endorses
the league and works with it, Rev.
C. R. Powell being secretary of the
league. The Baptist State Conven
tion opposes the Anti-Saloon League,
and this opposition is said to have
existed long before the last race for
governor took place.
During the Association a nice col
lection was taken for orphanage work
two thirds of which went to the Monti
cello home, controlled by the State
Convention, and one-third went to the
Texarkana home, controlled by the
State Association.
Late Saturday afternoon while sing
ing, ‘'Blest be the Tie That Binds,"
the brethren gave each other the part
ing hand to meet again at Rosie in
September lflOSh
Several of the messengers remained
over for Sunday service.
Through the kindness of Rev. .Terni
gan and his people, the pulpit at the
Methodist church was filled on Sun
dry by Rev. Frank Turner, the Monti
cello Orphans* Home man. He also
made a most excellent talk in the after
noon at the Baptismal service on
Dota creek and then preached at the
Baptish church at night. 11 is sermons
were a feast of good things. Rev.
Turner did not arrive in time to attend
the association, com in if in Sunday
morning on the passenger, hut he did
come in time to do much good. Hp is
an uncle to Rev. J. V. Turner who
preached on Sunday morning at the
Baptist church. Rev. .T. V. Turner is
a very ctfuisecrated young man. He is
going to the Seminary at Louisville,
Ky., to prepare for foreign mission
work. The Lord has already set his
approval on his works as lie has held
some successful revival meetings in
our own state. His father at one time
time lived up on Dota creek. At that
time Jesse was a little tow-head kid.
We do not know
What oft is hid
Down deep within
A tow-head kid.
The following resolution, offered by
Rev. D. A. Allen, was unanimously
apd heartily adopted:
“Resolved, That we extend to the
pastor and and members of Newark
church and to the people generally
our sincere and cordial thanks for their

BETHESDA BRIEFS
Bethesda, Sept 15.—Our school is
getting’ along nicely. The board has
secured the services of Prof. T. .T
Shirly of Iowa as principal. He is a
graduate of Simpson College, fndian
ola, Iowa, and holds a state certificate
from Missouri and Iowa. We have
enrolled several new students that we
did not have last year.
Cotton is opening early, but is not
very good. The farmers will do well
to hold their cotton and keep it out of
the hands of the speculators, as the
crop is reported light in a great many
places in the South and West.
J. S. Ottinger will swap horses and
sell water melons as well as sell and
deal in real estate.
T. F. Leonard and Lawrence Me
Spadden are each the proud owners
of a new buggy.
Cotton picking and sorghum making
is the main work of this section.
Madam IJuraor has it that we are to
have another wedding soon.
