The joint gubernatorial campagin
la-tween Kirby and McFarlane seems
to be attracting but little attention.
'Phe report comes from Washington
that Cannon for President and Hughes
for vice-president is the latest scheme
of the anti-Roosevelt forces.
People of all classes that need help
are looking about for intelligent, in
dustrious. well-behaved, gentlemanly
■boys. A boy of that kind is laying a
good foundation for success in life.
Monroe county is out of debt for the
first time in fifty years and has money
in the treasury, and the people are go
ing to celebrate by building a $50,<MM)
court house, the recent levying court
having appropriated that amount for
the purpose.
Don't "rumble. The most unfortu
nate class of people living1 upon this
green earth are the grumblers. They
rob home of its joys, society of its
dues, and themselves of the best things |
of life. From the days the children of
Israel “grumbled" and were sent on
their tedious wanderings ‘‘for forty
years in the wilderness,” up to the
present hour, the world has been full
of grumblers. It is "too hot" or “too
cold," “too wet” or ‘‘toodry.” Peo
ple in reasonable circumstances have*
•visions of the poor house, while the
rich grumble that they can't get rich
faster. _
It seems that we have heard some
thing about an old maxim that says
something about the lamb and the lion
lying down together. We don't recall
its exact words, nor its author, but we
are sure it never originated among
the politicans of Arkansas. In fact,
if they are politically inclined, the
lion and its own cub can't even occupy
the same ca ve long at a time in Ar
kansas. For proof of this, look at
our own and only .Jeff and his Charles
Friday Jacobson, who has served him
so long and faithfully. Jake has been
private secretary and handy man to
Jeff ever since the latter went into the
attorney general's office eight years
ago, and has practically filled Jeff's
official position while Jeff was out
saving the country. In fact, Jeff and
Jake have been “the same as one."
13ut now, alas, a shadow has come be
tween them, and, according to reports
from Little Hock. .Take lias tendered
his resignation. It is said they dis
agreed over the candidacy of certain
•state officials, and the rupture follow
ed. Alas, alas! “And the pine trees j
moaned in pity overhead.”

Arkansas Gazette.
The Texas state commissioner of
agriculture has issued a statement,
giving the figures showing that foreign
spinners are short on cotton and that
the consumption is greater than the
production. He advises producers to
hold their cotton for 15 cents a pound.

Another distinguished voice may
now he heard to join in “Possum Meat
am Good and Sweet,” since President
Roosevelt has declared that during his
recent hunting trip in Louisiana, 'pos
sum was the best dish they had, except
bear liver. Now who will dare say
that 'possum is not good?
| The great foe to home, peace and
! happiness is worry. The habit of
worry keeps us crossing bridges before
; we reach them. The evils that fret us
most are those which threaten us but
have not yet arrived. Stop worrying
about the things that may never come
to pass. Things are going to jog
along in the future just about as well
as they ever have in the past, and
countless millions of people are going
to live, prosper and be happy, not
only next year, but for ages after you
are dead and forgotten. Its just as
easy to wear a smile as it is a frown,
and you will not only feel better, but
look better, and your friends will like
you better.
The newspaper man never lived who
was not occasionally made the object
of criticism, or who did not have mean
things said about him. He is often
derisively referred to as “the squirrel
head.” ‘'the mut.” and other pet
names equally unpleasant. He be
comes accustomed to this, however,
and cares nor thinks nothing about it.
But. so far as The Journal is concern
ed. the limit has been reached. Our
“dander is up,’’ and there's “blood
in our eye.” We are on the warpath,
and if you don't get The Journal next
week you may know there is a battle
on and you need not be surprised to
see a shower of human yore and a few
shattered bones strike the earth. The
Pocahontas Star-Herald accuses us of
beiny a brother-in-law to Claude
Coyer, of the Sharp County Record.
Now, that's absolutely the limit. We
can stand to be called, most any old
tinny, but when it comes to beiny ac
cused of beiny kin to Claude Coyer—
well, we draw the line on that, and
there's yoiny to be somethin' doin' if
the Star-Herald don't “take it hack''
and apologize.
MORE WAGES. MORE DRINK
The followioy paragraph is clipped
from a recent magazine article by
President Theodore Roosevelt:
“There is one discouraging feature
connected with the upward tendency of
the waye scale among the workmen of
this country. The higher the wages,
the more money they spend in saloons.
The shorter the lunys. the more they
are inclined to absent themseves from
home. An apparent disregard for
family ties is growing among the
poorer classes which will eventually
lead to a disregard for the blessings
our country affords them. Hence,
with an increase of wages, a corres
ponding’ movement for better man
hood, nober citizenship and truer
Christianity should be set on foot.
The dignity of labor should be main
tained. which can be done only through
the love that a man should have for
his work, and through the intelligence
which he puts into it. A steady hand
and sober mind are necessary for this.
Hence the necessity of the temperance
cause and of the efforts which organ
ized abstainers are putting into the
movement. ”
KILLED BY THE TRAIN
Unknown Man Struck By Passenger
Train and Instantly Killed.
Newport. Oct. 22. Southbound pas
senger train No. 1 on the Iron Moun
tain. in charge of Engineer Thompson
and Conductor Mohnhern, ran over
an unknown man at Campbell last
night about 1(1:40 o'clock. The man
was not seen until after he was struck
and being dragged along. His body
was ground to pieces beneath the
wheels.
The train was stopped and the man
gled mass of human llesh and bone put
aboard and brought to Newport. On
his body was found an unbroken pint
bottle of whisky, and it is supposed
that under the stupor of liquor he laid
down upon the track and never awoke.
In one pocket was found some Oma
ha business cards, a billhead of A.
Winklebleck & Co. of Russell and a
letter apparently from a sister named
Clara at 202 Range building. Omaha.
From this letter it appears that the
man's name was Henry, that he had
left home under a cloud and that the
sister was making an appeal for him
to be honest and seek worthy employ
ment. Two kodak pictures were also
found and they are thought to be pho
tos of the man.
FAUCETTE CONVICTED
Little Roek, (K-t. 20.—The jury in
the case of Mayor W. ('. Faucette of
Aryenta, and former Mayor Frank
Cumnock, of Baring Cross, cliaryed
with conspiracy to bribe jurors in the
legislative boodle trial of Senater A.
\V. Gross, at Perryville, last August,
returned a verdict of yuilty at H:lo
o’clock last niyht, after deliberating
three hours. The jury could not agree
as to the punishment and it was left to
the court. Under the Arkansas sta
tutes conspiracy to bribe is a misde
meanor punishable with a line not to
exceed $2,000 and not over six months
in jail. United States Senator J.
IJ. Clarke, one of the attorneys for the
defense, was present when the jury re
ported, and at his request the jury was
polled and all stated that tha verdict
was theirs. The punishment feature
was a compromise, and it was finally
decided to let the court settle that.
The trial bejfan last Monday and
attracted attention throughout the
state. It was replete with sensational
incidents, which culminated in an at
tack upon Prosecuting Attorney Pho
ton yesterday by Col. George W.
Murphy, one of the attorneys for the
defense.
Churchyard Under the Sea.
When the coast erosion commis
sioners visited Walton on the Naze
yesterday they were shown a spot
north of the pier, and about a mile
from the shore, which was formerly
a churchyard, says the London Daily
News. A quarter of a century ago
the tombstones could be seen under
water at ebb tide, but since then the
sea has further encroached, and even
when the tide is extraordinarily low
and the sea clear the old burying
ground is scarcely discernible from
, tue sea level.
Don’t Use a Scarecrow
To Drive Away the
Mail Order Wolf
You can drive him out
quickly if you use the mad
order houses’ own weapon
—advertising. Mail order
concerns are spending
thousands of dollars every
week in order to get trade
from the home merchants.
Do you think for a minute
they would keep it up if
they didn’t get the busi
ness? Don't take it for
granted that every one
within a radius of 25 miles
knows what you have to
sell, and what your prices are. Nine times out of ten your prices
are lower, but the customer is influenced by the up-to-date adver
tising of the mail order house. Every article you advertise should
be described and priced. You must tell your story in an inter
esting way, and when you want to reach the buyers of this com
munity use the columns of this paper.

MISJUDGE
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.
