And next Monday is when
Judge Worthington meets his
Waterloo.
If you are a friend of the pub
lic schools you can’t afford to vote
against amendment No. 8.
The Record says Sharp county
will have a candidate for congress
two years hence in Hon. 1). L.
King of Hardy.
The president of a large Pitts
burg corporation, which employs
many women in its offices, says it
is his experience that their pres
ence influences order, quietness
and a respectful attitude among
the male employees and that they
are more conscientious in their
work. __________
The adoption of amendment No.
8 will not increase taxes; it merely
gives the people the right to in
crease the school tax if they wish
to do so. Under the present laws
a school district cannot levy more
than a five mill tax no matter how
badly they need the funds. If the
amendment should be adopted the
voters of a school district could
vote, at the annual school meeting,
any tax they desired, from seven
mills down, or if they saw lit to
do so they could cut ot! the school
tax entirely. Vote for the amend
ment. It is a good thing.
A Methodist minister has re
signed his pastorate in a New
York state town to Income a trav
eling salesman for a paper bag
manufacturing company. He be
lieves he can earn more money on
the road than in the pulpit.
_
We have often observed that
some of our citizens always butt
in when a prospective land buyer
drops into town, and they gener
ally succeed in disgusting him
with the country. This is very j
poor encouragement to the real |
estate men who are spending their,
time and money in advertising the
country in an effort to bring more
people here who will add to the
general prosperity of the commu
nity and help develop the country.
When a stranger comes to New
ark every man in town ought to
be a booster, and the man who
will butt in and scare a man off
ought to be shot in the face with
a wet dish rag.
The matter of having a trade
day and street fair in Newark
some time early in October is be
ing agitated. The Journal be
lieves it would be a good thing
and would like to see the matter
taken up in earnest and pushed to
a successful cenclusion. Prem
iums might be ottered for the
best farm products exhibited, such
as, say $:> to $5 for the best sad
dle horse, a similar sum for the
best team of mules, the best colt,
calf or shoat of a given age. Prem
iums should also be ottered for the
best corn, pumpkins, potatoes,
etc. Arrangements could also be
made for some light amusement
features and such other things as
might suggest themselves as ap
propriate for the occasion.
