It is very often the case that the
things that cause the longest re
grets are things it took but a mo
ment to do.
“Yaller dog” partyism is pass
ing away. It has had its day, and
belongs the dead past.—Memphis
News Scimitar.
To show how we are moving,
in 1900 there were 3,500 motor
driven vechicles in use in the Un
ited States; in 1910 there were
400,000. _
When called on the other day,
only eight members of the Kansas
state senate could repeat the Lord’s
prayer. We wonder how many of
our Arkansas senators could com
ply if Dr. Dye should unexpected
ly call on them some morning to
say the Lord’s prayer.
The Journal notes with pleasure
that our old friend Bob Waddell,
who now has charge of the Wynne
Progress, is making good. Bob is
a good newspaper man and has
made a wonderful improvment in
the Progress since he assumed
management of it a short time
ago. _
Senator Raney has introduced
and secured the passage of a bill
through the senate to prohibit dis
tillers from selling liquor to any
but licensed dealers. The bill also,
requires distilleries to pay a state
and county license. The bill is a
good one and will probably meet
but little opposition in the house.
The Initiative an(J„Referendum,
of which we heard so much last
summer, is proving to be a dead
one in Arkansas, just as The Jour
nal expected it would. Practically
every law passed by the legislature
contains the emergency clause,
providing that the health and wel
fare of the state demand its im
mediate enforcement.
The preachers of Batesville have
organized a ministerial association
and will hold regular meetings ev
ery two weeks for the purpose of
discussing plans for making their
work more effective, and for mu
tual aid and co-operation. Rev. C.
Preston is chairman and Rev. J.
M. Lawless secretary of the organ
ization. To us, this looks like prac
tical Christianity.
Legislatures have grown of re
cent years to be goals of ambitious
youngsters and embryo lawyers,
with a sprinkling of politically in
clined farmers. A few men of merit
and of worth are in each session, j
and it is only by their superior
generalship and conception of the
affairs of government that a check
is put no ruinous and foolish legis
lation.—Batesville Guard.
The present editor of the Guard
is a young lawyer, and was form
erly a member of the legislature
from this county Are we to take
this as a confession?
The esteemed Monroe County
Sun has missed the point of our
little spat with the Arkansas Gaz
ette. We were not objecting to the
Gazette’s practice of calling down
the country papers for their gram
matical errors—the country papers
need a few lessons in grammar,
and friendly criticitism is good for
any man. The Journal was merely
giving the Gazette man the bene
fit of a little our superior (?) wis
dom, in order tordmore fully prove
to him the great fact that “to err
is human,” and that even the Gaz
ette is not exempt from this com
monest of human frailties.
R. F. Kirkpatrick has purchased
the Imboden Gazette from Harvey
Burgess. In the first issue under
the new management it is an
nounced that many improvements
will be made in the paper, and in
the same issue two pages aredeft
entirely blank. Now if that isn’t
rubbing it in on a fellow, we’ll
own up to being a half brother to
Doc Cook.
The Missouri state house at Jef
ferson City having been complete
ly destroyed by lightning and fire
there will be a revival of effort on
the part of St. Louis to secure a
removal of the capital. The big
Missouri city has long wanted to
be the seat of state government
and would doubtless cheerfully
pay for a new capitol building
should it be located there.
The Clarendon Sun was asked
to roast the boys of its town for
their misbehavior at the theater.
After stating the facts in the case
the Sun’s comment was this: “The
fact is, scoring the boys would do
no good, for back of their conduct
rests the reason for it in the train
ing they have received, or failed
to receive, at home. If they are
not taught to behave as gentlemen
at home or at school, they cannot
be expected to act as such else
where.”
The Sun has hit the spot dead
center, and stated a fact that all
parents, everywhere, would do
well to heed.
Six hundred and twenty boys
have already enrolled as members
of the Boys Corn Club in Ran
dolph county. The boys of that
county captured nearly all the corn
prizes at the State Fair last fall,
and they are doing a great work
in helping to bring about more
successful methods of farming in
their county. The Journal would
like to see the boys of Indepen
dence county wake up and take
hold of this movement with more
vim. Our boys could win some of j
the best premiums at the State :
Fair next fall if they would try.
Besides this, they would be great
ly benefited by the experience
gained. _

Nervous
Prostration
“I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles'
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself re
covering, and am to-dav w'ell.”
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It’s the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are wreak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

BACKING UP
OUR ADVERTISING
Its mighty easy for some stores to
promise you great things if you will
only visit their store.
Its mighty easy to tell you of such
things, and of the splendid assortment,
lower prices, superior service, etc., but
backing it up is quite a different thing.
1 am here to back up every state
ment I make, with a good stock, lower
prices, a better and more satisfactory
service and liberal terms.
Just give me an opportunity and I
will show you how I back up every
statement I make.
