Wednesday evening J. T. Tharp was
elected teacher of the primary depart
ment of the Newark public school for
the session of 1908-09.
The weather for the past few days
has been ideal for gathering crops,

good use of it. There hasn’t been a
dozen people from the country in town
since Monday.
The meeting at the Christian church
continues with increased interest and
will probably go on for several days

fine sermons, and the house is crowd

was injured in a wreck near Searcy
several days ago, is still in a sanita

nicely and will probably be able to

THE RACKET STORE
TOWN HELPS.
It Is easy to estimate the business
importance of a place by the appear
ance of its stores. Dingy, dirty ap
pearing business places always give a
bad impression and are generally indi
cative of the character of the business
men of the town.
• • •
Good newspapers are important fac
tors in building of towns. Well filled
advertising pages, as well as local
news pages speak for the prosperity
of a place and makes an impression
upon the readers that assist the town
to greater prosperity.
• • •
Each town should have a good pub
lic hall, a place where meetings can
be held or entertainments given. If
such a hall be erected by private en
terprise if rightly managed can be
made a profitable investment in the
average small town.
* * •
Quite often when towns are organ
ized the matter of providing for public
parks is overlooked. Every town is a
city fb embryo. No one can prophesy
how great it may become in time. It
is well to look into the future and to
set aside grounds that may be used
for park purposes. It has been the
experiments of many cities that the
park question is a troublesome one
when not looked after in ample time ,
There is nothing that makes the city j
more attractive or is such a blessing j
to its people as a cozy park where
they may meet for recreation during
the warmer months of the year.
Kills Huge Rattlesnake.
A rattlesnake 16 feet long with 14
rattles, was killed near Jacksonville
Tuesday by L. P. Montgomery a well
known planter., Mr. Montgomery was
picking cotton when he saw' the snake.
Calling others to his aid he managed
to pin the snake down with a forked
stick and kill it.
The body of the snake will be sent
to Hot Springs to be displayed at the
state fair.
No Gins Burned by Raiders.
The story of two gins being burn
ed in the vicinity of Newport by night
riders is without foundation.
J. H. Ladd of Judsonia, after tele
phoning persons at Bradford, states
that two gins in that section, one at
Denmark and the other at Fairview,
Independence county, were posted

Where Bullets Flew
David Darker, of Fayette, N. Y., a
veteran of the civil war who lost a foot
at Gettysburg, says: “The good Elec
tric I titters have done is worth more
than five hundred dollars to me. I
spent much money doctoring for a had
case of stomach trouble, to little pur
pose. I then tried Electric Bitters and
they cured me. I now take them as a
tonic and they keep me strong and
well.” 50c at Sturdivant’s drug store.

By most of the people here the matter
is treated as a joke played upon the

Organize New Railroad,.
The Gulf and Magnolia Railroad
Company, capitalized at $1,000,000, of
which $100,000 has been subscribed
has filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state and has been
granted a charter to build the road.
The road will be an extension of a
railroad now in operation from Nat
chitoches, La., to Magnolia, Ark., a
distance of 100 miles, with a proposed
extension of 3*> miles to Hope. The
principal stockholders are business
men of Magnolia and Hope.
Money is not the only reward for
labor. Try doing your neighbor a
good turn and note the improvement
in your heart action.
Do not forget that you were once a
boy not so very long ago—and perhaps
the most pestiferous of the whole
neighborhood tribe.
