FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1904
Dollar and a quarter wheat is all
T irht for the wheat growers, but
how about the man who earns his
bread by the sweat of his face?
Quite a number of persons who
liave visited “Sint Looey* this
year have discovered that its in
habitants do not pronounce it that
way. _________
«Judge Alton B. Parker's letter
of acceptance, which was made
public Monday, deals with the
leading questions of the day in a
manner convincingly candid and
.straightforward.
President Roosevelt has announ
ced that he will not seek a third
term. Well, that’s real nice in
him. but there is a strong suspi
cion abroad in the land that he will
not even get a first term of his
own. _________
l Monday’s St. Louis Republic
iontairled the picture? of a beauti
ful Arkansas girl, Miss Mary
Hale, of Osceola, to whom the
regiment of Canadian Fusiliers at
the Fair presented a jeweled crown
as a mark of esteem. The Fusil
iers and the Arkansas State Guard
avere camped near each other at
the fair, and a strong friendship
sprang up between John Bull's
soldiers and the boys from Arkan
sas?. _________
Judge Parker’s letter of accept
ance has been treated by the met
ropolitan press of the country as a
document having few equals from
presidential candidates. Its sober,
judicial tone, its nicely worded as
sertions and its careful distinctions
have been praised freely. That it
will !>e the cause of many voters
swinging from the Republican to
the Democratic party, and casting
their ballots for Parker in Novem
ber, is asserted in almost every
section of the country.
ILLINOIS AND ARKANSAS.
'The, total attendance at the
World’s Fair last week was 770,
Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that’s the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
'vame care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
-mall and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
docs not feed.
Scott’s Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow—
Scott’s Emulsion seems to find
t and set the matter right.
Send for free sample.

418. The attendance on Arkansas
Day wax 150,620.
It will 1m; remembered that our
sister state, Illinois, celebrated the
21st, the day before Arkansas held
her state ceremonies, and a com
parison of the i>opulation and at
tendance of the two states is inter
esting, and shows that Arkansas is
not near so far behind the times
as some people seem to think.
The territory embraced in the
state of Illinois is, as a whole,near
er St. Louis than the territory
embraced in Arkansas. 1'he pop
ulation of Illinois is more than
four times as great as the popula
tion of Arkansas. Illinois having
a population of 4,321,550 and Ar
kansas 1,Ml 1.564.
Illinois held her state ceremon
ies Wednesday the 21st, and the
attendance on that day was 130,
122.
Arkansas held her state cere
monies Thursday, the 22nd, and
the attendance on that day was
150,020, or 11,108 more than the!
attendance on Illinois Day.
Of course, it is not supposed
that, these people, or even a major j
ity of them, were Arkansans, but j
the figures show that Arkansas j
people and the people generally1
took a greater interest in tin* cele
bration of Arkansas Day than they
did in Illinois Day. And the sub
stantial increase in the attendance
on Arkansas Day naturally forces
the conclusion that there were
more Arkansans who attended
their state celebration than there
were Illinoisans who attended on
Illinois Day.
When it comes to patriotism
old Arkansas is always there with
the goods.
ROBERTS FOUND GUILTY
Trial at Judsonia Resulted in Verdict
of "Guilty”~Fined $1,000 and

for complicity in the Pitts ^rave
robbery at Searcy, lias consumed
the past week before .Justice Smith

ing, after one of the hardest

place in a justice court in the en
tire state.
After being out two hours the
jury returned a verdict of guilty
and irxed the line at $1,000 and
six months in jail.
THE WAITER LOST A TIP.
Gave the Guest He Was Serving Just
the Opening for an
Escape.
At one of the Kansas City ho
tels whore t he colored waiters give
especially good service, but al
ways expert adequate remunera
tion for the same from the guests,
a waiter was especially officious
the other day in serving it man
from whom he expected a liberal
tip. relates the Journal. When the
meal had been served and he was
standing off at one side, eagerly
looking for an opportunity to be of
service, he said to the guest:
‘•Didn't yo’ have a brothak heali
last week, salt?”
“No,” said the one addressed, “I
believe not.’’
“Well," continued the waiter,
“theh was a gem’man Leah at mah
table what looked ve'y much like
you. and he was so well pleased
with t he service t hat la* gave me 50
cents when lie left.”
The guest had by this time tin
ished his meal, and as he arose he
said to the expectant servitor:
“Come to think of it, Sam, that
was my brother that was here, and
I guess he paid you for the whole
family. He may be back again in a
week or two.”

A MISTAKE.
In our advertisement last week we stated
that the records show that 96 per cent of the
merchants eventually fail in business, and that
the successful 4 per cent sell goods for spot cash.

We were going by the records of several
years ago. At that time more merchants sold
goods on a credit, and more failures resulted.
Recent statistics show that more merchants
are now doing business on a cash basis than
ever before, and today the records show that 94
per cent, instead of 96 per cent fail.
So, you see, we made a 2 per cent mistake,
and as it is our motto to substantiate our state
ments, we are ready to acknowledge the mis
take, even if it is a small one.
Our Mr. Whiting will leave in a few days for
the Northern and Eastern markets to make our
Fall and Winter purchases. Our customers know
that this means that Newark will have one of
the most complete and up-to-date lines of fine
Dry Goods, Notions, Millinery, Gents Furnishings.
Hats and Shoes ever shown in any town in
North Arkansas. He knows how, where, when
and what to buy, and his spot cash system
enables him to lead them all.

Now, for the next ten days, our present
stock will almost be given away to make room
for our magnificent stock of Fall and Winter
goods. We still have many things that you need
and we need the room for our Fall goods.
One dollar in cash will go almost as far here
as two dollars at a credit store.
Don’t forget and say, “Charge this,”
for after October 1 our terms will be strict
ly Spot Cash, and we positively will not
break this rule for any one.
Spot Cash and One Price to
Everybody Alike is Our flotto.
