AGGRESSIVE MEN
ARE REEDED
One of the most difficult things
in the world is to do something
that affects the public, differently
from what the people of the com
munity have become accustomed
to. Yet that is one of the greatest
needs of the average small town
or country community.
If there is a public improvement
of any kind started there are
knockers, and in a majority cases
the real motive for knocking is
because something is being done
differently from what they are ac
customed to.
The life of the city is different
from that of the country. There
the quickening influences of
growth and civilization accelerate
dev elopement, co-operation is in
voluntary and there is less need
for a large number of leaders.
In the country the problem is
more complicated. The average
man lives the year around in a
rut. Many of his customs he has
inherited from his father. Others
he copies from his neighbors. As
a result, life proceeds from one
year’s end to another with not
one-tenth degree of the progress
witnessed in the city, into which
is all the time pouring new ideas
and new influences.
Thousands of small towns and
country communities forfeit each
year to the cities some of their
very best and most talented young
men; and it is ptincipally for this
reason. They become disgusted
with the old ruts and want to get
out of them and away from them.
They want something better.
In this respect, one or two wide
awake, energetic, self-sacrificing
progressive young men in a com
munity can write themselves down
as benefactors to their community
by starting something of a pro
gressive nature which their neigh
bors are too blind, too lazy, or too
busy to do or see the need of.
The results may not be apparent
at once, but if the task is followed
with patience and persistence they
are sure in the long run.
In the olden days, when this
country was a wilderness, it took
the hardest sort of courage for
men to be pioneers. It takes as
much or more courage of another
sort to be a pioneer in our civilized
age, when it comes to starting the
task of upbuilding in our country
districts. The man who launches
it is going to run up against
! enough snags and discouragements
and ridicule and indifference to
i make him feel that he is wearing
a crown of thorns.
But in the end, if he is right,
and possesses enough perserver
ance, he will triumph and be re
warded by the crown of gold that
comes from the gratitude of his
| awakened friends and neighbors.
The way to build up a town is
for all to pull together—every man
to the wheel. Banish all feelings
of discord, if there are any; let
j harmony prevail and prosperity
| will follow. Talk about your town,
write about it, speak well of it, en
courage your men at the head of
municipal affairs; choke the croak
ers, gag the grumblers, squelch
the scolders. Beautify the streets
in every way, patronize its mer
chants, favor home enterprises al
ways, and if you can’t think of
some good word to say, keep quiet.
Be a hustler and keep it up.
There is talk of the Methodist
people of Newark starting a move
ment for the erection of a hand
some new brick church building
in the near future. The Journal
hopes the movement will assume
tangible form at once. This com
munity has the best crops it has
had in many years. Everybody
will have money and all lines of
business will be prosperous this
fall. Why not put some of this
money into a handsome new
church building that every citizen
of Newark would be proud of?
The seed from which this com
munity’s prosperity must grow is
the money that is invested here at
home. It will never bear fruit for
us if it is planted somewhere else.
According to the Jonesboro Tri
bune, there is a peanut plant in
that town four stories high.
HIGHER THINGS
OF LIFE
In meeting the multitudinous
duties and responsibilities of life,
! we should not overlook the fact
that the accumulation of money,
or making a living, as we com
monly term it, is not more import
ant than making a life.
Large crops, fine stock, fine
houses, and a fat bank account are
| all very desirable, but eagerness
for this gain should not cause a
narrow life.
Life should afford time, oppor
tunity and inclination for the best
things in life, contentment and
j happiness. The association with
our neighbors and the enjoyment
of the better things of life should
have attention, even if some of
ihe utilitarian energies must be re
laxed.
To live a good and useful life,
rear an intelligent family that will
make society better, is noble.
Wealth is not to be compared with
a good influence for the better
ment of man.
Let us not forget that in making
life we increase our capacities for
enjoying the pleasures of life and
the association of those who live
near us.
There are those who have been
successful in gaining wealth, but
in neglecting education and social
relations with their neighbors, and
have not the capacity to enjoy it.
Wealth, or even moderate means,
is of little value if it can not be of
use to make those with whom we
come in contact better.
Let us make life worth living
and our living will be commensur
ate with our lives.
Several miles of tine concrete
sidewalks, an electric light plant
and a handsome new brick church
building. If Newark can get all
these this year she will have made
pretty fair progress. The side
walks are a certainty, and the
light plant seems to be coming
along nicely. Why not build the
church? _________
Governor Hays, he—well, he’s
the fifth governor we’ve had this
year, and has been on the job now
nearly three weeks, and seems to
be doing about as well as any of
the others did—so we got no kick
coming.
Editor A. L. Cleveland, who got
his first taste of printers ink in
The Journal office, is making his
paper, the Fort Meade (Fla.) Lead
er, one of the best papers in Flori
da. He never loses an opportuni
ty to boost his home town and j
county, and we admire the firm
stand for right that he takes on all
moral issues. The only fault that
we have to find with him as a
good newspaper man is that he
persists in staying away from Ar
kansas. _
An editor can write column aft
er column in an attempt to secure j
public enterprise for the commuiv
ity in which he lives and possibly
he will never hear a word of com
mendation for his earnest efforts, |
which are made without cost to
the community, but maybe at
much cost to himself. However, |
let him make an error or a blunder
of some kind in his honest en
deavors and he can hear from it
on all sides.—Ozark Democrrt.
The development of Newark
and this community is not a mat
ter of sentiment; it is a matter of
common sense and business. And
its development means not only a
reward in contentment, but a pro
fit in dollars and cents in increas
ed property valuation. For these
reasons, every man, woman and
child in Newark should be intense
ly interested in any movement or
business enterprise that will help
Newark to grow and prosper.
Governor Hays has issued a pro
clamation designating the 3rd and
4th of September as Good Roads
Days, and asking every citizen of
the state to celebrate those days
by working the road. Our folks
need to do a lot of celebrating of
that kind. ________
The money you spend will build
something somewhere. But where
depends on whether you spend
your money in Newark or in some
other town.
Some men must stand criticism
for being bachelors, while others
are serving terms in prison for
bigamy. _
This community is ready to help
any good man who is ready to
help this community.

that go along with a lazy liver,
without restriction of habit or
diet. You don’t leave off any of
i tKe things you regularly do when
