FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1907
The world's greatest men grew up
ward from the lower classes, while the
■•world’s meanest mem grew downward
from the upper classes.
There are said to he 10,000 weekly
-newspapers in the United States with
a combined circulation of 31,000,000,
and 2,200 dailies with a combined cir
culation of 15,000,000.
By the way, has anybody thought to
charge this financial panic to the G.
<). P? If the Democrats had been in
power the howl that would have gone
nip would have been enough to frighten
rino’plw
Labor is one of the supreme laws of
life. Toil is honorable. The progress
which the world has made is a glor
ious testimonial to human handiwork.
"Those who work know more of gen
uine happiness than those whose lives
seem dedicated to idleness.
Wonder if the promoter of the
Republican paper at Batesville doesn't
feel somewhat like the fly, which
perched itself upon the axle of a
rapidly moving chariot, and, noting
ihe great fog of dust in its wake, ex
claimed. “My, what a dust I do raise!"
“Times are hard" to be sure, but
what's the use of climbing up on a dry
goods box and day after day pro
claiming to the world this old thread
*bare, stereotyped assertion? We some
-times think that times ought to he still
more stringent with some of these fel
lows. Did it ever occur to you that
the genuine hustler rarely if ever com
plains of hard times?
Country life has its drawbacks, but
it has its great- advantages which over
come them. True, those who live'in
the country are ‘‘Rubes" and "Farm
ers" and ‘•hayseeds" to the cigarette
smokers in town, but the boast of the
majority of the business men in the
world today is that they were born on
a farm. Take away the surrounding
evils that beset the young men or wo
men on the threshold of life's journey
in the city, and substitute the helpful
influence of nature, and you fortify
them for the sterner walks in life. The
few things which they do not know
DON’T
MISJUDGE
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How weli we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

ibout table etiquette and when it is
proper to leave two visiting cards and
when but one, they will catch onto
nueh quicker than city boys and girls
ivil I learn to properly stroke the fur
nace or make good bread. No boy
;>r girl need be ashamed of living on
the farm, for if they have taken ad
vantage of what it has offered, they are
well fortified for after life.
Wonder if those old radicals who
harped so loud and long against “free
silver” a few year ago and were so
strongly in favor of “sound money,"
don't feel a little “funny” when they
go to the banks for money, in these
days of Republican prosperity, and
ran’t even get “free silver?" Those
cashier's checks—“Roosevelt Curren
cy,”—may be all right, but “free sil
ver” still looks good to us.
There has been quite a change in
newspaper circles at Batesville during
the past few days. Editor Geo. H.
Trevathan of the News has bought a
controlling interest in the Guard,
thereby succeeding E. E. Givens as edi
tor and business manager of the
Guard. The News has been suspended
and its plant and business consolidat
ed with that of the Guard's. This gives
Batesville one of the strongest and
best equipped papers in North Arkan
sas.
Joel (’handler Harris expresses the
following1 great truth in Uncle Remus’
Magazine for December: “Greed grows
with groveling, and some men have a
positive genius for: it. Witness the
millions that they are piling up to no
good end, and for no great purposes.
These millions speak well for their
greed—if anything can speak well of
greed; and this is the only tribute that
will ever be paid to them that they
succeeded well in what they started out
to do. As witnesses to their success
they can call the ghosts of ruined men,
hungry women, and starving children,
and there will be no one to dispute
their testimony. Such is materialism
in its commonest form and in its
coarsest aspect.”
LEGISLATION NOT NEEDED
The report comes from Little Rock
that certain local organizations of the
Farmers Union have petitioned Gov
ernor Pindall to call a special session
of the legislature for the purpose of
having that body pass such a law as
will protect the cotton growers and
dealers of the state in that they will
be enabled to hold their cotton for the
price fixed by the National Union.
Gov. Pindall is reported to have
stated in his answer that there was no
one more thoroughly in accord or
sympathy with the needs and purposes
of the farmers and cotton growers of
the state, and that he would iiKe very
much to aid them in their present ef
forts. hut that he could not call the
legislature together for the simple pur
pose of submitting such a general
proposition to that body. He stated
that no definite bill or measure had
been offered, and without such it would
not be a practical thing to do to call
the legislature together in special ses
sion. He (Ud stale, however, in his
cd'mmunieation, that, should the Farm
ers' Union “direct the kind of a hill
which will give necessary relief. I will
certainly include the same in any call
that I may make for an extra session
of the legislature.”
The governor of Texas was recently
asked to take the same action by the
farmers of his state, and replied in
about the same manner as Governor
Pindall did.
The Journal is in full sympathy
with the Farmers’ Union, but we must
confess that we do not see wherin any
relief could be expected from the state
legislature. If the farmers want to
hold their cotton for fifteen cents, they
are as free to do so as they would he
should the legislature pass a law fix
ing- the minimum price of cotton at
fifteen cents, because the legislature
has no more right to regulate the price
of cotton than it has to regulate the
price of socks or kale seed.
What the farmer needs more than
legislation is a stiller backbone, a
better self-government and a more
business-like administration of his own
affairs. In other words he needs to
raise more of the necessaries of life:
shake off credit and the mortgage sys
tem; and then, with a full smokehouse,
a fat larder, a full corn crib, a big
barn of hay, plenty of sleek cattle and
horses, a celler full of vegetables and
a little surplus cotton, he will be inde
pendent: he can place his cotton in the
warehous or under his barn shed, face
the world with a smile of contentment
and demand l.">, IS or 20 cents for his
cotton, and get it. But so long as the
farmer mortgages his cotton crop as
soon as it is planted, lives off of im
ported sow bosom and Northern bis
cuit, he may expect to Ik1 a veritable
slave and take just what he can get
for his cotton.
The farmer and the Farmers Union
has no better friend than The Journal,
because the editor was himself born,
bred and raisefl on the farm, and we
fully realize that the farmers are the
bone, sinew and very lifeblood of the
country. But what the average farmer
needs to do is get him a Big Stick, go
out behind the barn and read the riot
act to himself, then frame a personal
declaration of independence and stay
with it with the zeal of a Patrick Henry.

“After doctoring for a year and find
ing no relief from leucorrhea resulting
from prolapsus uteri, and which waa
6apping my life forces away, I finally
tried Peruna, and when I found that it
was helping me every day, it seemed
almost too good to bo true.
“Rut, it not only helped me, It cured
me and In a very short time.
“I am now enjoying the bestof health.
“I am strong and free from pain, and
I certainly feel that all praise and honor
are due to Peruna.”

YOUNG MAN HAS
NEW THEffiY
Human Life Seems Centered In Stomch
All Else Is Secondary.
The immense success which has fob
lowed L. T. Cooper during the pasl
year with his new preparation has ex
ceeded anything of the kind ever be
fore witnessed in most of the leading
cities where the young man has intro
duced the medicine. Cooper has a
novel theory. He believes that the hu
man stomach is directly responsible
for most disease. To quote his owe
words from an interview upon his ar
rival in an eastern city: "The average
man or woman cannot be sick it the
stomach is working properly. To be
sure, there are diseases of a virulenl
nature, such as cancer, tuberculosis
diabetes, etc., which are organic, anc
are not traceable to the stomach, bui
even fevers can, in nine cases out 01
ten, be traced to*something taken intc
the stomach. All of this half-sick
nervous exhaustion that is now sc
common, is caused by the stomachh
conditions, and it is because my rem
edy will and does regulate the stom
ach that I am meeting with such sue
■cess.
“To sum the matter up—a sound di
prestive apparatus that is doing itfuil
duty, getting every particle of vituty
out of all food by transferring it tttho
bowels in a perfectly digested staj—
this above all else brings health.
Mr. A. C. Brock, chef of the Br,fc
Restaurant, Market District, Bost^
Mass., who is a staunch believer in
Cooper’s theory and medicine, has th*
to say: “I had chronic indigestion fi
over tbree years. I suffered terribly
and lost about thirty pounds. I was
physical wreck when I started thk
Cooper medicine, a month or so ago.
Today I am as well as I ever was in
my life. I am no longer nervous, my
food does not distress me in the least,
and I have a splendid appetite. I am
! gaining flesh very rapidly in fact, at
i the rate of a pound a day. I would
not believe any medicine on earth,
i could have done for me what this haa
done It is a remarkable preparation
■ and Mr. Cooper deserves all his sue
■ We recommend the Cooper prepare
tions as being remarkable medicine*,

Friends of Oscar Warren of Black
River township are urging him to
enter the race for county surveyor.
Mr. Warren is one of the best men in
the county, thoroughly competent to
fill the position, and is a sot>er, honest,
energetic, reliable man, whose enteg
rity is above question. If he should
decide to enter the race he would
doubtless prove a strong candidate.
The Batesville Guard says W. H.
Denison, formerly of this county, who
is now engaged in railroad building
at Cheyenne, Wyo., has sold 2,000
acres of maganese land near Cushman
to an Fastern syndicate, the price paid
being $50,000. The property, it is said,
will be thoroughly develo])ed. Several
years ago maganese mines were open
ed in that locality, and considerable
ore was taken out, but on account of
the lack of railroad facilities the mines
were abandoned. It is stated that a
deal for another 2.000-acre tract ad
joining- the one just sold is pending.
FOR A BAPTIST HOSPITAL
The proposed erection of a hospital
In Little Rock by the Methodists of
Arkansas will be the principal ques
tion to be considered by the Little
Rock Conference, which meets at Mal
vern November 27 and the White
River Conference, which will meet
December 12 at Corning. Indications
are that the conferences will report
favorably upon the proposition to erect
a Methodist hospital in Little Rock
with funds secured from Arkansas
Methodists exclusively. At the last
State Conference a plan for a hospl
'al to bo erected by seven Southern
States was submitted. This was reject
ed and a committee was appointed to
take up the matter of building a hos
pital for Arkansas alone. If the Lit
tle Rock and White River conferences
report favorably to the plan the pro
ject will be pushed rapidly.
