1 NEW JERSEY AND TRUSTS.
In the calendar year 1901 new
corporations to the number of 58,
' ".47 were formed in New Jersey.
The number included “trusts” of
all grades and character. Since
January l of 1902 the additional
number of 1,394 have been form
ed and applications are coming in
daily. These, of course, are in
addition to the large number crea
ted within the past ten years,
since trusts have become the vogue
in this country.
. The creation of these new eor
I porations in the year 1901 brought
I the State of New Jersey $087,438.
87 in initial fees. The assessme nt
of taxes on trusts for that year
amounted to $2,315,592 in addi
tion. The business of granting
1 charters to corporations is exceed
ingly profitable to New Jersey, it
pays the expenses of the .State and
new charters grunted; the tax on
those prior charters, the tux on
railroad corporations added to
gether paid the ordinary expenses
of the state, put Si,ooo,0(»u to the
credit of the school fund, gave
Si,ooo,000 to various municipal
funds and put something by way
of surplus in the state's old stock
ing under the hearth. No wonder
New Jersey thinks the trust is a
good thing.
LKGISLATIVE MATERIAL.
It is a deplorable fact that in
experienced young lawyers, poli
ticians without an office and men
with a political ax to grind or a
personal hate to satiate are always
ready to go to the legislature. Ii
is equally deplorable that good
business men and active lawyers
refuse to go. The candidates are
elected and the people begin the
biennial cursing match when the
grafters and schemers begin to
handle the lawmakers for purposes
entirely foreign to the duties that
the members were sworn to dis
charge. If we send a useless dele -
gation to the legislature the better
element and business element must
assume a large portion of the
blame. Laboring men have a
right to representation, but if la
bor does not support a good can
didate labor must assume its share
of the responsibility for the fail
ure to accomplish anything. What
Independence county should do is
to elect as members of the legisla
ture good lawyers, successful busi
ness men, clear-headed laboring
men or successful farmers, moved
by no clique or faction, but stand
ing for all that can be made to re
sult in the betterment of conditions
in Independence county and the
state in general.
Notice of Examination.
Notice is hereby given that there
will be ti public examination of
teachers at llatosville, Ark., on the
ISth and lbth days of September,
lf>02, to ascertain the professional
qualifications of all persons desir
ing to teach in the public schools
of Independence county.

Sulphur Rock Burglary.
Special to The Journal.
Sulphur Rock, Aug. Last.
Thursday night two young men,
I .John Cason and Walter Holmes,
j broke into Ed Martin’s store and
| were helping themselves to water
: melons and canned goods when
I'M came in from a late evening
ride. He passed at the back of
the store and saw t he window open
but thought he had left it open
himself when he went away that
evening. He rode over to the
spring, got a drink and came back
to the front door. He then dis
covered that there was some one
in the store. They heard Mr.
Martin about this time and escap
ed through the back window. He
immediately started in pursuit and
captured one of the miscreants,
who made a confession and was
turned over to the constable. A
raid was made for the other and he
was found at home in bed.
They were taken before Squire
Moore the next morning but waiv
ed examination and as no one would
go on their bond they were taken
to jail by Constable Ashley.
No particular damage was done
by the youthful burglars except
that a few canned goods are miss
ing. They are each of respectable
families and their parents are
grief-stricken.
Destructive Fire.
(irillith & Morrow's store, lo
cated about live miles southwest
of this place on White river, at
what is commonly known as the
“Head of the Bottom,” was total
ly destroyed by lire Sunday night
about 12 o'clock. Loss, about
$4,100; insurance, $1,800.
It is thought to have been the
work of some one who had robbed
the store and then set lire to the
building in an attempt to cover uj
the crime.
These gentlemen seem to be pc
culiarly unfortunate. Their store
at this place was burned in the
burn-out last Spring, entailing ji
clear loss of something like $0,
uw uuu iiuw 10UOWS uie aestruc
tion of another store in which the,\
have lost about $2,300,
They will rebuild immediately
and have already began placing
material on the ground for a new
building.
Morgan-Shirley.
.7. M. Morgan and Miss Xannic
Shirley were married at Moorelield
hist Sunday, Squire Duncan, ol
Guinsboro township, performing
the ceremony.
Mr- Morgan is one of Newark's
best known citizens. He has been
a trusted employee of \Y. T. Mag
ness & Son for a number of years
and his business qualities and
gentlemanly deportment have won
for him not only the respect and
esteem of his employers but alsc
the sincere friendship of all with
whom he comes in contact. The
bride is a most estimable young
lady, posessed of many personal
charms and is a general foYorite
among a large circle of friends.
The Journal joins in congratn
; lations and wishes to be included
i among their friends in extending
I best wishes for their future hap
piness and prosperity.

“I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for over thirty years. It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn
ing gray.”—Mrs. F. A. Soule,
Billings, Mont.
There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer’s Hair
Vigor — it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
But gradually the old color
comes back,—all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
The hair stops falling, too.

wich i« composed of Mr. Murphy,
! Mr. and Mrs. \Y. J). Magness and
son, Edgar, concluded that it
would be cheaper to keep house
and rented a little cottage for
! which they had to pay $4<> per
month. It seems that board is
not the only thing that is high
out there.
A decided deterioration in the
condition of cotton is reported
generally thoroughout the central
and western portions of the cot
ton belt, as well as over a large
part of the eastern districts. The
: most favorable repot ts are from
I the Carolina®. In North Carolina
;the condition of the crop contiu
| ties very promising, although the
prevalence of rust is widespread.
On stiff soils in South Carolina
new growth i-> blooming and fruit
ing, but on sandy soils rust, shed
ding and permature opening are
: prevalent. Thoroughout the eeu
| tral and western districts with the
exceptions of northern Mississip
pi and poitions of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, where the crop
is doing well, the leports indicate
a decided decline in its condition,
rust, shedding and premature
opening being general. In Texas
I the deterioration has been pro
i nouneed, and under the most fav
orable future weather conditions
a yield in excess of the average is
improbable.

Establifhed 185:?.
This combination Is the cause, and the important (ause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35,000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which "Hie
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments arc the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. '1 lie incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and sucli advancing piogitss.
We solicit injuries of all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
