100 TRAIS LOADS
OF GOOD ROADS
The four Road Improvement
Districts recently organized in
Lonoke county bought from a Lit
tle Rock concern 200,000 cubic
yards of crushed stone to be used
in building macadam roads in that
county. To move this material it
will require 6,000 railroad cars, or
enough cars if placed in one train
to make a train 45$ miles long.
Here in Independence county
we have immense quantities of
road building material right at
our very doors, and we are too in
dolent, careless, or unconcerned to
make use of it, and yet it is a com
mon occurence to hear our folks
cussing the bad roads.
Fact of the business is, our peo
ple don’t want good roads, for if
we did we would go to work and
build them.
n
We are told that this is only
the beginning of systematic road
I building in Lonoke County. The
people are alive, up and doing in
that county. Good roads shorten
distance, lessen the cost of trans
portation, and bring the country
■and cities and towns closer togeth
er. It makes life worth living in the
fbcountry, and, in fact, the country
becomes the suburb of the city.
'• In addition to all of this, it doubles
the value of the lands through
* which the macadam roads are
built.
It costs an immense sum of
money to build roads, but if
every farmer in Independence
county would make it an iron-clad
rule to put his hands and teams to
work each year after crops are
laid-by and build a quarter of a
mile of road alongside his farm, in
five years Independence county
would have a system of good roads
that every citizen of the county
would be proud of, and they would
have cost practically nothing, for
in the building of a good road
along his farm the owner has add
ed far more than its cost to the
value of his farm, and could read
ily sell his farm, (if he wanted to
sell) for more than enough addi
tional to repay him for building
the road. _
It is no disgrace to be mistaken,
but it is little less than a crime to
be a hypocrite.
Remember, the further you send
a dollar after something, the long
er the dollar will be coming back.

Ignorance is the most dangerous

The greatest man is he who
chooses the right with invincible
resolution; who resists the sorest
temptations from within and from
without; who bears the heaviest
burdens cheerfully; whose reliance
on truth, on virtue, and on God, is
most unfaltering.—Channing.

Much of the so called friendship
of today is but pretense. It exists
only in name and as soon as it
ceases to be advantageous it is
dropped. The friendship that con
tinues the same in prosperity and
j adversity is to be prized, but other
kinds are worthless. It matters
not how hard a man may struggle
to do right and make a success of
life there is always some loathsome
reptile, some worthless wretch
who is ready to drag him down, to
blight his hopes and blast his fond
est ambitions. The loss of money
and property is not the greatest
loss a man can sustain in the busi
j ness world; far better to lose your
money than to lose hope and am
bition. ______________
A State can not make a better
investment than in the lives and
characters of its young people.
Upon them must rest the responsi
bility for future citenship. They
must meet the increasing demands
for intelligence, for skill in pro
duction, in manufacturing, in
commerce and in all occupations
where trained workers are de
manded. It is our duty as patriot
ic citizens to assist in every way
in placing higher ideals before the
hoys and girls of the country, and
to lend every assistance to any
worthy movement that will train
them more efficiently for their life
work.
Newark is just now on the eve
of a new era of progress and pros
perity. Nearly three miles of con
crete sidewalks are to be built this
summer, and the prospects are
good for the erection of two or
more modern brick business houses
in the early fall. The town needs
electric lights, and our people
should take steps to secure this
much-needed enterprise at an
early date.
We made a mistake about Bo
gard and Borden’s debate at
Jamestown in last week’s issue.
They hain’t fit yet, but will chaw
each other’s neck on July 8.—Oz
ark Times.
And the spirit of unity and
brotherly love manifested in this
neck chawing contest will no doubt
be of wonderful benefit (?) to the
folks around Jamestown.
