The total production of coal in Ar
kansas the past year was 1,033,208
tons, valued at $3,000,000.
Arkansas claims the largest peach
orchard in the United States. It is
located in Sevier county and contains
snore than 3,000 acres.
The lumber product of Arkansas for

■feet. In the output of hickory, cotton

The lw'st time to start your children
to school is on the first day of the
session. The Newark public school
opens next Monday, and all children
should be ready to enter school on
that day.
Drainage and good roads are two of
the most important propositions before
the people of Arkansas today and they
are matters that should he of deep in
terest to every man who wants to see
the state prosper.
It is estimated by a prominent sta
tisticianthat the earnings of the Ameri
can farmers for this year will be sev
eral million dollars greater than last
year, owing- to the increased prices of
all farm products.
With marble in Independence, gold
in Montgomery, and diamonds in Pike,
Arkansas may yet be proven bv arch
aeologists to have been the original
source of Solomon's great wealth.—

Alonzo K. Wilson, chairman of the
Illinois State Prohibition committee,
sees in the Georgia victory and indi
cation of success for prohibition. He
declares there are now more saloons
in Illinois than in all of the southern
states east of the Mississippi.
A rather unique temperance docu
ment is being circulated in certain
townships in Phillips county. The
signers pledg’e themselves to oppose
both by vote and influence any candi
date for a county office who uses whis
key in any form to futher his political
interests.
There are now only 2o counties in
Arkansas which license the sale of
whiskey, the remaining 55 having
either voted or petitioned it out, and
if the whiskey question was left to a
state-wide vote. Arkansas would he a
stronger prohibition state than Geor
gia or Oklahoma.
By appointing school directors dep
uty assessors, the assessor of Garland
county captured more than TOO delin
quent poll tax and a large number of
personal taxpayes who have success
fully dodged the assessor in past years.
The idea is a good one, and should be
more generally adopted by the tax
assessors of the state.
There are a good many men who are
lying under the sod today because they
tried to please everybody. When they
started out in life they thought that
everybody should be satisfied with
them, but they didn't succeed in mak
ing anybody happy but the undertak
er. The world is full of fault finders
and grumblers and a man can't walk
live minutes in any given direction
without meeting them. Even when a
man turns his face to the wall, kicks
.he foot of the bed and expires, there
are people who will find fault with it.
Some will say he ought to have done it
J twenty years ago, and others will say
I that he ought to have waited a little
longer for the sake of his family. The
man who jogs along from day to day
and does his best, regardless of what
people say, is the one who is the hard
est to kill, and when at last he does
die there are about as many bouquets
laid on his casket as there are on the
casket of the man who worried himself
into Abraham's bosom.
W. B. Alexander, one of the state
capitol commissioners, has filed a pe
tition in the Pulaski chancery court
for a mandamus to compel State Au
ditor Avery E. Moore to issue a war
rant upon the state treasury for pay
ment of services in attending the meet
ing of the capitol commission. The
object of the suit is to test the opinion
recently handed down by Attorney
General Kirby, to the effect that the
funds in the treasury to the credit of
the state capitol can not be legally
drawn out because the last legislature
had failed to make a specific appropri
: tion for that purpose. notwithstanding
| a previous legislature had appropri
ated i'l.<)(lO.ooo in a lump sum for the
| erection of the new capitol building.
NEWARK A BUSINESS CENTER
__ _ 9
The Newark merchants do more ad
vertising than does Newport. As a
consequence that town does a wonder
ful business.—Newport Democrat.
To lie sure Newark does a wonder
ful business - that'.■j what she is here
for. There is not a town of the same
i size in the whole state of Arkansas
that does as much business as is done
| in Newark. And she keeps reaching
out. too. Expansion is the motto here.
There are very few business men of the
sleepy kind in Newark: all her mer
chants are interested in bringing more
business to town, and in this they are
fully aware of the fact that The Journ
al renders them valuable assitance.
I he Journal has always sought to
co-operate with the* business men of
Newark in any and all efforts to ad
vance the town's interests, commercial
ly and otherwise, and they fully ap
preciate the fact that their announce
ments ]ilanted in the columns of The
Journal are the seed that will bring
forth an abundant harvest.
