FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1909
The only man who never makes
mistakes is the man who never
does anything.
To get all out of life that we
should, we must keep wholesome,
and hopeful, and reasonable, and
industrious.
No great work of any character
was ever accomplished by a pessi
mist or a knocker. It takes an
optimist to do things.
Some people are like turtles.
The Turtle family has been resting
for ages on the laurels of the an
cestor who outran the hare.
The 1908 cotton crop is said to
have been the largest and most
valuable ever produced in Amer
ica. Its value is placed at
000,000. _
A Chicago man has predicted
that the world will come to an
end tomorrow, but a New Jersey
man says it won’t happen until
1914 so we are feeling a little easi
er. _
Some wag has issued a postcard
with this bit of advice on it: “If
whiskey interferes with your busi- j
ness, cut out your business. No
use trying to do two things at
once.” __________
St. Louis is the largest tobacco
manufacturing center in the world,
its annual sales aggregating forty
tive million dollars. Thats lots of
money to be wasted in smoke and
ambeer. _________
The editor of an exchange says,
“When a woman becomes speech
less with rage, its time for the man
in the controversy to hike for the
tall timber.” Now, what’s been
happening at his house, we won
der? __________
Something over two million
acres of corn are grown in Arkan
sas every year, the average yield
of which is only nineteen bushels
per acre. This is far below what it
should be. With just a little extra
effort upon the part of the farm
ers, the average yield could be in
creased to twenty-five bushels per
acre—and it ought to be forty
bushels. But an increase from 19

to 25 bushels would mean aboutsix
million dollars in the pockets of
the Arkansas farmers every
year. Quite a nice sum, isn’t it?
And yet some people wonder why
times are hard.
Your friends always hear
enough about their faults. If you
want to brighten the pathway of
life for them, pin a rose on them
occasionally and tell them of their
good qualities.
John I). Rockefeller recently
preached a sermon on the value of
contentment. But we have se
rious doubts about the beneficial
effects of such a sermon from a
man whose income is f40 a minute.
The yield of rice per acre is
greater in Arkansas than in any
other state in the union. There is
almost any amount of land
east of Newark that would
grow from 75 to loo bushels of
rice per acre, if put in the proper
condition._
In this country the government
is made by the people. If the
government i< faulty, it is because
the people are faulty. If the
government is to be made better,
the people must become better
This applies to towns and commu
nities as well as to state and nation
Woodruff county has a largei
per centage of negro population
than any county in this section ol
the state. The recent scholastic
census shows the county has 2,42s
white children and 4,051 negrr
children, which indicates that aboui
three-fourths of the county’s pop
ulation is colored.
It has been forty-four year*
since the close of the last war of
any consequence in which th«
United States was involved, bui
during the year 1908 Uncle San
paid out the enormous sum o
$153,093,080 in pensions. It seem
that the man who tret* his namt
on the pension list never dies.
Reports indicate that the cotton
crop this year will be only abou
ten million bales. Hut suppose al
this was manufactured into cluti
by Southern labor and southerr
capital instead of being shipped tt
the mills in Yankeidom to bt
made into cloth and shipped bach
to us. The South will never bt
prosperous until she quits sending
all her raw products away from
home to be manufactured.
