A GOOD ROADS PROPHECY
The people of Tennessee will
build a first class macadam high
way from Bristol to Memphis, the
legislature, at the suggestion of
Governor Hooper, having provided
for state aid for the enterprise, and
the route for the road is now be
ing laid out. Bristol is in the north
eastern portion of the state on the
line between that state and Virgin
ia, and the road will traverse the
state from northeast to southwest.
In Eastern Arkansas there is a
movement on foot to build a first
class highway from Memphis to
Augusta, and considerable work
has already been done on the road
in some counties. Here we have on
foot the Batesville-Newport high
way and considerable work was
done on it last summer. It is only
a short distance from Newport to
Augusta, and sooner or later a
good road will be built between
those towns. This will give us a
direct line of good roads from
Batesville to Bristol, Va. Newark
is directly on the route and the
road is coming. This may seem a
little visionary to some folks, but
in a few years from now a citizen
of Newark can get in his auto, in
his farm wagon or buggy, or
astride Old Beck and drive right:
into the National Capital over one
continous line of firstclass macadam
highway.
There is no public improvement
that pays better dividends than
good roads, and Newark and this
section of country is right in line
for some extraordinary benefits.
But it is actual work that counts
and its time to do something. Isn't
there some good practical man in
this county who will take the lead
in this movement?
Its an important matter and
means much to our country.

The Walnut Ridge Times says
W. K. Surridge of that place will
enter the race for railroad commis
sioner in the approaching pri
maries. Mr. Surridge was in the
race two years ago and was defeat
ed by a very close vote. It is said
that there was some very crooked
politics played in this race during
the last campaign by parties who
desired to see Surridgc defeated.
; If this he true the matter should
be brought to light.
The Gazette funny man says its
bad manners to go into a man's
house and use his toothbrush.
Now who’d a thunk it? Next time
we want to use some other fellows
toothbrush we’ll just step out
doors. That guy is going to get so
consumed particular about man
ners that he’ll he wanting us

One thin# about old Arkansas,
says the Russellville Courier-Dem
ocrat, she is always safe, conserva

offer the get-rich-quick induce
ments of other states, but what
she does offer is stable and depend
able and her people are not oppu
lent one season and oppressed the
next._
Independence county should be
represented on the “Arkansas on

tour the North this fall. It would
bring our county to the favorable
attention of thousands of people. ■

county, January 13, 1855, and was
56 years of age. His body was laid
at rest in Fairview cemetery. In
every relation of his life, as hus
band, father and friend, he display
ed the beauty of a life hidden in
Christ. His home life was beauti
ful, for he was strong in the faith
we have in Christ Jesus.
He professed faith in Jesus Sep
tember 8,1877. In his sickness he
called our attention to the Great
Physician and »aid “he had power
on earth to heal all manner of dis
eases,’’ and referred to the four
teenth chapter of Luke, and many
other scriptures, where Christ
healed. He believed Christ could
cleanse us from all sin and make
every whit whole. He was a mem
ber of the M. K. church, and was
always ready to obey God’s call
and command. For years he had
been warning sinners to flee the
wrath to come. He was loyal to
his church was always ready to
pray, sing, testify and give to
God’s cause.
He could not attend church for
three months before he died on the
account of bad health. He praised
God fora full and free salvation
and said “Lord, thy will be done;
1 am willing to go or stay.” When
he could talk no longer, he raised
his eyes heavenward and passed
away in the triumph of a living
faith. He leaves his wife, three
sons and four daughters and many
friends to mourn his loss. Put
blessed be God, their loss is his
gain, for to live in Christ and to
die in Christ is gain, and he has
gone to a home where there is no
sorrow.

The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
Bv its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.

WANTS MORE DETAILS
Editor Journal. We see from
your columns that the county
clerk has issued a very elaborate
and dear report of the finiancial
conditions of our county, as re
quired by law.
However, it seems to be lacking
in one particular.
We learn from said report that
the sum of $3,162.SI was paid into
the treasury by county officers
during the i;seal year as overplus
on fees and commissions, but we
are not informed as to what
amount is paid by each officer. In
this way we can't tell who is mak
ing the best showings, and who is
making the poorest, if such be the
case.
We are going to ask The Jour
nal to get the figures, showing how
much each officer turned.over to
this fund, and we hope the clerk
will in the future include this in
his report. Its good information.
