FRIDAY, .JANUARY 12, 1906
A record possibly unequaled ini
t*ie United States is that of Mrs.'
•lames Null, of Wellsboro, Ohio,
who became a wife at thirteen, a
another at fourteen and is now a
grandmother at twent.v-nine.
Governor Davis says he wants
to go over to Tennessee and help
ex-Governor Taylor defeat Car-!
attack for senator. But is Gover
nor Davis so sure of his own elec
tion that he can afford a jaunt like1
this?
A hot fight is on between the
prohibitionists and the saloon peo
ple at Hoxie. No saloon license'
leave been granted for that place,
hut the “blind tigers’’ are said to
l»e doing a flourishing business,
and the ladies of the town are
leading a crusade against them.
The .Journal heartily endorses
the sentiment expressed by the
Calico Hock Progress in regard to
those “alleged newspaper men”
whose cheap .John style not only
robs themselves, but brings the
profession into disrepute. The so
called editors of such papers will
talk about the “power of the
press,” when the fact of the busi
ness is they havn’t got “power”
■enough to be a man themselves.
The Bank of Newark has made
a decided step forward in its man
ner of advertising. It is distrib
uting no calendars or other forms
of miscellaneous advertising and
will spend its entire advertising
appropriations in newspaper ad
vertising, having bought space in
The Journal and will have some
thing new to say to our readers
each week. These short talks will
J>e of special interest to those of
onr readers who are endeavoring
to lay up something for a “rainy
day,” and you should not fail to
read them.
Vou will notice that the news
paper dispatches from Russia say
it is the Christians who are mur
dering the Jews in that country. ;
Of course they are not Christians,
but they have been taught that
they are, and they assume, just as
some so-called Christians in this
country do, that a man is not res
pectable unless he believes just as
they do. In Russia these so-call
ed Christians are putting their
dogmatical ideas into execution by
the brutal form of murdering
those who differ from them in
their religious views, while in this
country we are a little more con
siderate we get up public debates
and prove each other liars, im
postors, etc., for the amusement
and delight of the un Godly.
The fact that supply and de
mand regulates the price of a pro
duct to a large extent has never
been more clearly demonstrated
than during the past year. The
supply of cotton, for instance, has
been short, and as a result prices
have been higher. The farmers,
however, have it in their power to
control prices to a certain extent
by using discretion in marketing
their cotton. But should the com
ing crop be a large one, the
“Bears” will find it out in ample
time to make good use of the in
formation in keeping prices down,
therefore the farmers should not
take anything for granted and
plant an increased acreage of cot
ton this year.
NOT SIZE, BUT CHARACTER.
It is not tine size of the town
but its character that makes it a
desirable place to live in. A live
and prosperous town may be a de
sirable one and yet be a small
one. Every citizen in a town
should be interested in its pros
perity. One of the ways to help
a town is to speak well of it. It
is true patriotism and self interest
as well, to stand by your town.
As a man who speaks ill of his
family lowers both himself and
family in the estimation of oth
ers, so does a man who cares lit
tle for his town and community.
The man who is respected by oth
ers respects himself, and patriot
ism begins at home.
Another way to help your town
I is to beautify it. Beautify your
own property all you can and then
do all you can to beautify the
street. Be friendly to everybody
and courteous t o strangers.
Your civility will help make good
impressions which are carried
away and cherished. Never for
) get that you are part of the town

Paragraph 14. In this my
friend tries to smooth over what
he said about the women in one of
his former essays, and says that 1
did not deny it. I said that 1 did
not believe it. and the proof that I
produced against it was an empa
thetic denial. Say, friend, are
you sure that you did not tell one
on old “Tige’T In this paragraph
he says also, that he puts nothing
out for the public prints that he
is not able to prove. I am glad
he made this declaration, and I
challenge him to give the names
of the thirteen states and territor
ies that voted liquor out of their
dominion before the Civil War.
Also give us the statistics to prove
that one million women go to the
“bad’’ in the United States an
nually. Also give us your author
ity for saying that there is five
million fallen women in the United
States. Also that there are one
million of these women who die
annually. Also prove that (iod
did not create alcohol. All these
things you have put in the public
prints, now prove them, or go
back on what you have said, and
be reminded of old “Tige" again.
Mr. Journal man, this essay is
getting somewhat lengthy, but
please excuse me, as you know
that some cases need heroic doses.
Please bear with me a little while
longer until 1 give this particular
