BOY FATALLY INJURED
Herschel Tomlinson Loses Life as
Result of Playful Accident
Herschel Tomlinson fell from a
bale of cotton on the gin platform
at Magness last Saturday and sus
tained injuries from which he died
Monday.
He and several other boys were
playing on the bales of cotton,
which were standing on end on
the gin platform. Young Tom
linson lost his balance and fell
headlong to the platform. His
head struck a hole in the platform
and he went through, lighting on
the ground with the full force of
the fall on his head. It is thought
that his neck was broken. He
never regained consciousness and
died Monday.
The young man was 17 years
old and was a son of the late W.
11. Tomlinson.
The remains were buried Tues
day at Macedonia, Kev. E. A.
Horn of this city conducting the
funeral services.

THE GOOD ROADS MEETING
Good Suggestions Made at Present
Meeting at Batesvilie.
At the recent good roads con
vention held at Batesvilie, a re
port was submitted by the various
overseers along the route showing
that something over a thousand
dollars worth of work was done on
the Batesville-Newark road on the
day of the public working some
time ago.
An interesting discussion of the
free labor problem was a feature
of the meeting and the convention
adopted a motion recomending a
change in the present law and
abolishing free labor on the roads
and instead thereof the collection
of an annual per capita road tax of
u
A motion? to change the law so
as to have all overseers appointed
by a commission, instead of elect
ed, was lost.
The convention went on record
as favoring a county road commis
sioner.
The chairman was instructed to
appoint an executive committee of
five members, which he will do
later.
No date was fixed for another
meeting, but another meeting will
probably be held in the near
future, as it is the desire of those
behind the movement to formulate
plans for the enactment of a bet
ter road law for Independence
county.
TIMBER LAND FOR SALE.

railroad. Plenty of timber sur

IMPROVE SCHOOL PROPERTY
A Worthy Cause in Which All
Newark Should be Interested.
Prof. J. C. Wynne has taken up
the matter of building a concrete
walk around the school campus,
and has arranged for an entertain
ment at the High School Auditor
ium to help meet the expenses.
The school board has agreed to
pay half the expense and several
public-spirited citizens have con
tributed liberally to the fund.
The city council will probably
make a liberal appropriation, and
every citizen in town can mater
ially aid the movement by attend
ing the entertainment at the audi
torium next Monday night.
We should all be interested in
the work of improving and beauti
fying the school property. Our
excellent school building is a cred
it to Newark, and f-licits the ad
miration and commendation of
every stranger who comes to town.
Its the best investment Newark
ever made and The Journal hopes
our citizens will show their patriot
ism by a liberal donation to the
fund being raised to improve and
beautify the school campus.
Our people are noted for attend
ing shows, and every show that
has come to Newark this year has
had a large crowd. The enter
tainment at the school auditorium
Monday night is going to be the
biggest show in the history of
Newark—our patriotism in a
worthy cause will be on exhibition.
Let’s all go.

TRADES DAYA SUCCESS
Large Crowd of People in Town
on Last Trades Day.
Trades Day last Friday was the
most successful of any of the
Trades Days yet held in Newark.
There was a pretty fair-sized
crowd of people in town and con
siderable trading of one kind and
another took place.
Several mules were sold at auc
tion and there was quite a good
deal of other trading of various
kinds. Most of the merchants re
port a good business. Will Du
vall, the genial secretary of the
Moore Brothers Company, in
forms The Journal that his com
pany broke the season’s record
for cash sales.
Adams Bros., E. E. Allen, M.
Drennen, M. 8. Fisher, Galloway’s
Restaurant, J. II. Holderby, E. J.
Magness, Newark Drug Co. and
the Newark Lumber Co., all re
port a good trade in their respec
tive lines. The above-mentioned
firms all made a reduced price on
some line of goods for that day
and all say they are well pleased
with the result.
The cash prize offered for the
best young mule shown in town
on that day was won by J. R.
Prince.
W. L. Davidson of Oil Trough
won the prize on the most valu
able bale of cotton sold in Newark
ou that day. The bale weighed
710 pounds and sold for 14 37i
cents per pound, netting Mr. Dav
idson $102.06. The cotton wa3
bought by J. W. Sisk.
A. P. Yates of Charlotte was
given the prize for the largest load
of cotton seed brought in with a
single team. The load was bought
by C. P. Vaughan.
The Trades Day sentiment is
growing and as each succeeding
one gets better, it is a safe predic
tion that the Trades Day move
ment is going to be a success.
