FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1904.
The Herald is lamenting the fact
that Newport is unable to organize
a baseball association. Newport
is a slow old town anyway.
The Journal would like to see
the sidewalk on South Front street
completed. Will the city fathers
take the matter up at their meet
ing Monday night and act upon
it? _
What about the proposed oil
mill for Newark? We lmvn't
heard anything of it in some time.
If it is going to be put in in time
for the fall business, its time to do
something.
The Walnut Ridge Daily Jour
nal published a pretty nice account
of the ball game at that place last
Friday between the Newark and
Walnut Ridge teams, and compli
mented the Newark boys very
freely.
Some enterprising guy at New
port wired the report to a number
of the metropolitan dailies that the
son of one John Smith had un
earthed a pot containing $2,800 in
gold while plowing in.an old field
near a few da.VS&UO.
We don't know where or how he
got his information, but we are
reliably informed that the report
is absolutely false.
We are informed that the New
port Independent grossly misrep
resented the hall game between
Newark and Walnut Ridge. As
the Independent became so large
and important some time ago that
it cut The Journal oil' its exchange
list, we can't say whether or not
the report is true, but we are told
that it said Walnut Ridge won the
game. We are not surprised at
the Independent misrepresenting
the matter misrepresentation is
characteristic of that sheet but
we don't understand why it should
have it in for the Newark team.
The only offense our boys ever
committed against the Independent
was to refuse to read it.
The people along the White Riv
er road deserve a better train ser
vice than they are getting, espec
ially on Sunday, and we believe
the company should bo petitioned
to put on the regular passenger on
Sundays. The passenger and lo
cal should both be run on Sunday,
and the local should carry two
coaches all the time, instead of one,
as it now does. Half the time one
can hardly get a seat on the local,
and on Sunday the passengers have
to stack up like sardines in a box
or get out on top. The Iron Moun
tain derives an immense revenue
from the territory along this
i
branch and we believe that if the
matter was taken up with the com
pany in the proper manner they
would {jive uh a better service.
