Arkansas, as second class mail matter
FRIDAY, MAY 10,1912
The man who is always suspi
cious of other men’s honesty
proves that he has many dishonest
thoughts himself. The woman who
is always ready to believe the worst
of other women, therein admits
her consciousness of her own in
herent weakness, however vir
tuous the shelter of her cumstan
ces and environment may have
made her.
The Sharp County Record has
changed its mind again, and now
thinks The Journal could not as
sassinate John H. Hinemon in a
thousand years. The Journal has
never attempted such a thing and
shall not do so. But, if we should
take such a fool notion to get into
the limelight, we certainly shall
not spend eight or ten years on
the job, and then quit, face about
and climb on his band-wagon, as
the Record did Jeff Davis.
Good roads mean that the farm
er can haul to market more pro
duce in less time than over poor
roads. Naturally the railroads
profit from anything that improves
agricultural conditions. That is
why the great “Frisco” system is
spending forty thousand dollars on
a special train that will go over all
it lines, bearing lecturers and ex
hibits to do missionary work in
behalf of improved highways. The
train left Brownsville, Texas, on
March 25th, and, visiting two or
three towns a day, will pass
through ten states of the South
and middle west, until it reaches
Chicago in August. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is heartily
cooperating with the railroad in
this work.
TELEPHONE SERVICE
The Newark Telephone Com
pany’s operators have been in
structed to charge all parties, that
are not subscribers. We can no
more afford to give you free talks
than your grocer can give you
free sugar.
We are not climbing poles for
the fun of it.
It will cost you no more to have
a telephone in your home than it
costs your neighbor.
H. D. Eller, Manager.
