The proposed constitutional
amendment limiting sessions of
the legislature to 60 days, will go
on the ticket to be voted upon as
Amendment No. 13. Bad luck for
the legislature.
Almost any idiot can take a
sledge hammer and wreck the fin
est structure in the country,
when perhaps he could not build
even a Martin box if he had the
finest set of tools in the land.
From $6,000 to $8,000 worth of
strawberries are now being ship
ped from Judsonia every day.
The same thing could be done
here as easily as at Judsonia if our
people would take up berry grow
ing in the right manner.
If you desire a big sermon in a
few words read, analyze and ap
propriate the following from
Philip Brooks: “No man has come
to true greatness who has not felt
in some degree that his life be
longs to his race, and that what
God gives him, he gives him for j
mankind.”_
The Southern states spent about
seventy-eight million dollars on
their public schools last year. That
is an increase of about five hundred
per cent since 1880. But what is
more important is the fact that
they are getting results commen
surate with the money that is be
ing spent._
The Clarksville Herad says there
is likely to be some difficulty in
securing sufficient packages to
handle the peach crop of Johnson
county. It is estimated that the
county will have at least 400,000
bushels of Elbertas, besides about
20,000 bushels of other varieties.
This means over 1000 car loads of
peaches, and the railroad will have
to get a hustle on to handle a crop
of such magnitude.
It has been said that a wise man
changes his views, but a fool never.
Whether or not this be true, it is
certain that those who “know it
all” are very unfortunate because
their own ignorance keeps them
from finding out that there is more
to learn. We should count every
day lost that does not teach us
something and every year that re
cords no new information has been
a failure both for us and our fel-1
lowman with whom we come in !
contact.

In Central America many natives are
athering the seeds of this plant. Cedron
eed, a rare medicine that has valuable
curative powers. But few drug stores
carry this seed, owing to the high cost
of the article.
This country is a large consumer of
this costly seed because it enters intc
the famous catarrh remedy, Peruna,
told the world over.
U001) 01.1) ARKANSAS
We saw a poem in a Northern paper
telling of their milky way,
[t seems they've quit raising cattle,
corn and hay:
Every body's gone to milking—Every
one that can—
Papa. Mamma, brother and sister
Ann.
They should all come down to Arkan
sas,
They wouldn't have to milk that way
For we grow rice, potatoes, corn cot
ton, wheat and hay—
Anything that will grow on earth you
can find it down this way,
For we can grow just anything in
good old A-R-K.
Talk of raising mortgages — they're
raising them right along—
When we get tired of whistling we
sing a merry song:
When we don't drive good horses, we
steer an auto this way.
It's a land of peace and plenty our
good old A-R-K.
Our schools and churches can't be
beat, and are better every day:
Some “knockers” say that times are
hard,
But I’ll tell you its not that way,
Soon the state is goingdry, and booze
will fade away—
We’ve got the best of everything in
good old A-R-K.
There’s coal and diam mds in the
gr ound
The forests are full of trees.
The soil is deep and fertile
We’re living with all ease
You’ll sing a song <yf America and
good old U. S. A.
But the garden spot of both of them
Is good old A-R-K. C. L. M.
TELEPHONE SERVICE
The Newark Telephone Com
pany’s operators have been in
structed to charge all parties, that
are not subscribers. We can no
more afford to give you free talks
than your grocer can give you
free sugar.
We are not climbing poles for
the fun of it.
It will cost you no more to have
a telephone in your home than it
costs your neighbor.
