LAW REQUIRES GAUGES AT
ALL FORDS
To Arkansas Road Overseers
I want to inform you that a bill
was passed in the last legislature
making it your duty to place and
maintain water gauges at the
crossings of all streams which be
come so swollen as to endanger
life. That law has been in force
for several months. It is a state
wide law and 1 hope to see the ov
erseers of the state get busy and
gauge the streams before the rainy
season.
A few weeks ago 1 noticed an
account where three gentlemen
and a young lady attempted to
ford a swollen stream near Green
wood in this state. The young lady
was drowned, their team was
drowned and the three men bare
ly escaped.
It was to prevent just such ac
cidents as this that caused me to
have this bill passed. 1 am sure the
overseer at that place had failed
to do his duty, am sure the stream
was not gauged. Would you feel
any remorse of conscience and
would you not be indirectly re
sponsible for loss of life should
anyone lose their life by drowning
where streams are not gauged in
your road district, and might you
not be responsible for any proper
ty loss where the stream is not
gauged.
There is a penalty for failing to
put up the gauges and don’t you
think it best to put them up at
once? It’s a good thing and you
will not be held responsible for
accidents if they are up in shape.

BOUND R)R ARKANSAS
Some time recently a gentleman
was travelling out in the West, on
business, and in his travels, met
with an emigrant and his family
who were headed this way and the
family seemed to be stowed away
in the usual style of covered wag
on.
While in conversation with the
head of the family the gentleman
referred to, looking on the side of
the wagon cover read as follows:
“New Mexico for immigration,
Texas for starvation,
To h-and damation,
With Tafts administration.
I'm bound for Arkansas."
ARKANSASCROPS BEST OF ALL
According to the monthly crop
report of the Agriculture Depart
ment, just issued at Washington,
a big shortage is the result, except
in the southern states that have
had ample rains. The condition
of the corn crop of Texas is 10, in
Oklahoma 33, in Iowa 68, in Illi
nois 74, in Kansas 74, and in Ark
ansas 82. The 10 year average for
Arkansas is 79.
This is not all. Arkansas will
have a good cotton erf)]), not to
mention her rice crop, hay crop
and every other crop that grow
in this latitude, all now promising
an abundant yield. Come to Ark
ansas.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
Editor Journal.—If you will al
>w me space, as a patron, I have
few suggestions to make to the
; trons of Newark school, along
i lines of the upbuilding of our
hool.
In the first place, our school will
en in the near future, for a term
. seven months continual school,
nd as this is a proposition in which
verv child between the age of six
* j
and twenty one years has an equal i
show, and in which every patron
should be and are personally inter
ested.
Now parents, are you interested !
in your childrens welfare? I f so you ,
are undoubtedly interested in the
upbuilding of your school. When !
the school begins are you going to
get in line for a better school and
see that your child attends regular
ly? Are you going to let the child
have its own way and attend if it
wants to? Will you see to it that
your children get all they are en
titled to, along the lines of an edu
cation in your school? Or will you
join the “don’t care” crowd and
let the child loiter and play hookey
and grow up in ignorance? I can
hardly believe that you are going
to close your eyes to your children
welfare Since it is your solemn and.
parental duty 1 believe you will
shoulder your part of the respon
sibility. and get behind the teach
ing force and help them better the
school for the especial benefit of
your child. Patron.
SENT TO REFORH SCHOOL
The first youths of the state to
be sent to the Reform school from
juvenile court under the new law,
arrived in Little Rock Sunday
morning and were soon afterwards
placed under control of Superin
tendent Perry Chappie. The boys,
Edward Cains, Hubert Moore, Vir
gil Cibbs and Cliff Sanders, come
from Fort Smith. The boys were
first taken up by the probation of
ficer, charged with many petty
crimes. They were warned, but
still continued to annoy the police
and as a last resort they were sen
tenced to an indel’inate term in
the Reform School.
KILLING NEAR COTTON PLAN!
F. II. Kennedy, postmaster at
Cotton Plant, hanker planter and
a prominent Republican politician
was shot and instantly killed,Sals
burg, near Cotton Plant on a Rock
Island passenger train, by R. C
Lynch, Kennedy's brother-in-law.
The trouble is thought to have
orignated about three months ago
over the employment of some
workhanns.

MALARIAL DISEASES,
How to Avoid Them and the Se
rious Consequences of Neg
lect. _
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,” remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking man, entering a ;
prominent physician’s office the other j
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
‘shake well and follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
‘‘Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. ‘‘The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to j
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fevet claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver |
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly seas, n.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, !>c
■ sides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch.
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every- j
where as a system tonic and bowel regu- j
lator. It not only removes all traces of I
malarial poison from the system, but I
tones up the vital organs, gives new ,
strength and vigor, makes the body j
strong and the brain active.
‘ Prickly A»li bitters is the best all-around
medicine for the family I ever used. Dure;. the j
past ten years I have always kept it in my house, j
Whenever any of my family show -i 'Tts of mala- I
ria."kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation
a few doses is ali that is needed to make them :
