UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
Judge Pearce Will Issue Appoint
ments to those Desiring Same
I desire to announce to the
young men and young women of
Independence County that, l am
now ready to issue beneficiary ap
pointments to the State University
to as many as desire them. These
scholarships entitle the holder to
free tuition in all departments at
Fayetteville except music and art.
A matriculation fee of ten dollars
is charged upon entrance. All
students who live at the dormitor
ies are charged an annual fee of
live dollars.
The University is delightfully
situated, with large and beautiful
buildings, surrounded by a beauti
ful campus and magnificent shade
trees. Located in the heart of the
Ozark mountains with unsurpassed
scenery, 1500 feet above sea level
supplied with sewerage system,
electric lights, and pure water
from the head water-, of White
River and clear creek, Fayetteville
is one of the rno'-t healthful towns
in the world. During the last;
seven years the University has
had an average of more than 1000
students a year, and during that
time there have been only livo fa
tal cases of sickness among them.
Courses arc offered in the Col
lege of Arts, in Civil, Electrical,
Mechanical, Mining, Cement, and
Chemical Engineering, in Agricul
ture, in the Conservatory of Mus
ic and Art, in the Normal School,
and in the Preparatory School, j
There is only one year’s work !
in the Preparatory School, and it
will be abolished at the end of the
1911 session.
The University is now in the
most prosperous period of its his
tory, and is one of the strongest
institutions in the South and West
It has a faculty of 7.s skilled spec
ialists trained in the best universi
ties of America and Europe. It
h is ton literary and scientific stu
dent societies, and the largest col
lege V. M. C. A. in the southwest.
Both the V. M. C. A. and the V.
W. C. A. have salaried secretaries
who devote their entire time to the
spiritual training of student. There
arc three dormitories for young
men and one for young women in
charge of competent matrons.
Board in the dormitories last year
including light, heat, bath, and
laundry, was $l‘g per month.
The Military Department, un
der a United States Army officer,
is the second best in the United
States, and the Cadet Band is the
best. There is a splendid hospital
in charge of a graduate nurse, free
to students. There is a large stu
dent labor fund besides many
young men and young women find
employent in the best of homes
where they earn their board.
There were nearly 1000 students
enrolled last year at Fayetteville
alone, and in dune, were graduat
ed with Bachelor’s degrees, three
received .Master’s degrees, and 40
completed the Normal course.
Nearly all of these graduates have
secured lucrative and responsible
positions.
The University is our institu
tion, supported by our taxes, and
we are enfilled to its benefits. 1
hope our county will have a larger
representation there than ever be
fore.
For catalogue and further in

A BANK FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE
There are some people in every community who
think that Banks were made for the rich. If you
are one of the misinformed who have this idea, let
us again emphasize the fact that THIS IS A BANK
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
A deposit ox $1 receives the same welcome and
the same courteous attention as a larger deposit,
for this reason: Many a deposit of $1 has grown in
to an account of $1000 or more, and made itself
worth while to us and the depositor.
No account too large and none too small for our
most careful attention.

BRYAN COMING TO ARKANSAS
Will Speak in Favor of Amendment No. 10, Provide
ing For the Initiative and Referendum
William J. Bryan will come to Arkansas just before the coming
September election and speak in favor of Amendment No. 10, provid
ing for the Initiative and Referendum.
The exact date of hi* coming has not been announced, but will be
given later.
Mr. Bryan has long advocated the Initiative and Referendum in
state and local affairs, lie know* the dangers which threaten popular
government in America today. He knows the voters are honest and 1
will dethrone the corporation boss and re-establish the rule of the
people as soon as they get the power to do it He is working to se
cure the Referendum in his own state of Nebraska. He wants to see
it established in every state.
Arkansas is the only "‘ate in which the legislature has submitted !
the question to a vote of the people this year. A victory for Arkan
sas is a victory for the whole country, therefore he is willing to help.
Regarding the Initiative and Referendum, Mr. Bryan says: “I am
very much interested in this reform. It is the most Democratic re
form now before the various states. Its purpose is to give the people;
control of their own government, and it needs only to be understood ,
to secure an overwhelming majority. ‘Let the people rule’ is the es
sence of Democracy, and direct legislation gives the best means of
insuring the rule of the people.”

idents of the Independence County

It is the desire and purpose of j

make this the biggest thing of the
kind ever attempted in the coun
ty, and no pains, labor or expense
will be spared to make it a success.
Several of the most prominent
and distinguished citizens of the
state have been invited to deliver
addresses. The main idea in se- j
lecting the speakers has been to
eschew politics as far as possible,
and the speakers will devote them
selves largely to a discussion of j
ways and means of developing the
resources of the state and bringing
more people and more capital into
the state.
Among the speakers invited and
who are expected to attend are
(iov. Geo. \V. Donaghey; Geo. A.
Cole of Fayetteville, president of
the State Land Congress, presi
dent of the Farmers Union and
president of the State Fair Asso
ciation, three organizations that
are doing more to boo*t Newer

other agency in the state; K. B.
McNair, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture; I>. A. King, in
dustrial commissioner of the Mis
souri Uacitic - Iron Mountain Rail
way system; Dr. R. 1\ Wilson of

of Little Rock, Hon. Gustave
Jones of Newport, and Hous. S.
A. Moore, J. B. McCaleb, Dene
H. Coleman, S. M. Casey and
Chas. F. Cole of Batesville.
Arrangements will be made for
some of the speakers to address
I the people on the picnic grounds
during the day, where a stand and
comfortable seats are being pre
pared, and at some one of the
j churches or on the grounds at
night.
It is hoped to create a greater
| interest in the improvement and
i upbuilding of our home county and
state, and awaking the people to
the importance of taking hold and
pushing those things that will help
i to make Arkansas a greater and
! better state and that will place her
citizenship upon a higher and
more prosperous plane.
The Odd Fellows Orphans Home
i Band will furnish music for the
occasion, and there will be various
amusement features, such as the
steam merry-go-round, ferris
wheel, refreshment booths and
other carnival features.
If is to be an old-fashioned picnic
where all can come and bring din
ner, feel at home and enjoy two
days of solid, old-time sociable
pleasure.

SULPHUR ROCK PICNIC
One of the .Most Enjoyable (iath
erings Ever held in the County
No more pleasant and enjoyable
event of the kind has been held in
the county than was the Farmers
Union picnic sit Sulphur Rock
Tuesday and Wednesday.
It is estimated that 1,000 or 1,
200 people were in attendance
each day, and not a more orderly
crowd was ever assembled any
where.
There were numerous refresh
ment and amusement features, in
cluding a steam merry-go-round,
numerous doll racks, wheel o’ for
tunes, trinket lotteries, a palmist’s
tent, and other things to bring de
light to the heart of the youngsters
and to seperato them from their
dimes.
The principal feature of the first
day was the speech of Senator Jeff
Davis, who hung his coat on a
hickory limb and entered into a
disscussion of the tarriff, prohibi
tion and other national issues, in
his inimitable and characteristic
style, eulogizing the farmers, and
skinning the Republican party,
the trusts, money sharks and oth
er things in general. He announc
ed his candidacy for re-election
and assured his hearers that his
success was certain and that he
was going back to help clean out
the senate and fight the battles of
the common people.
The speakers Wednesday were
Congressman W. A. Oldfield of
Batesville, and the Farmers Union
National Organizer O. F. Dorn
blasser of Texas.
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED
Uncle Doc Lane has exhibited
to The .Journal the unmistakable
evidence that the carrier on rural
route No. 1 lias been forced by
Republican prosperity to use hick
ory bark to bind his oats with. It
is no doubt a case that deserves to
be brought to the attention of the
National Bureau of Commerce
and Labor or the Inter
State Commerce Commission, and
The .Journal shall send a marked
copy of the paper containing this
to President Taft with the request
that he take the proper steps.
YOUNG LADY’S ANKLE BROKEN

from a wagon a few days ago and

suffered intensely for some time
but is reported to be getting along
as well as could be expected.
