OPPORTUNITIES
A wise and honest man, a man
of ability and earnestness, is not
troubled about looking for oppor
tunities. Many and great opportun*
ities everywhere are on a constant
outlook for such men. It is the
numbskull and street loafer who
is continually talking and com
plaining about the lack of oppor
tunities. As a rule his native town
is too slow and small, and he feels
compelled to leave his parental
backyard for some hustling, bust
ling metropolis in order to show
the world the stuff he is made of.
It is all fol-de-rol to be everlast
ingly hankering to live in a large
city because of larger opportuni
ties. Of course a man who has
really out-grown his native village
has a moral right to seek larger
opportunity elsewhere, but that
man is as rare as a pearl in an oys
ter. However, thousands of young
men are annually rushing to our
larger cities believing themselves
to be talented and capable to be
come famous and financially suc
cessful in the midst of the large
and dazzling opportunities of the
city, only to find that they have
made a big mistake.
There are vast opportunities ly
ing all around us all the time, and
it is our inability to see these op
portunities, far more than it is the
lack opportunities, that is holding
us down in the world. The main
trouble is within our own selves,
and not with the world or the
town or community in which we
live.
Besides, it is more satisfactory
to be a prominent and respected
citizen of a village than to be an
insignificant stranger, jostled and
ignored, by the hurrying mass of
humanity in a metropolis. We
would rather be a dog on a farm
than a caged lion in a menagerie.
According to the Jonesboro Tri
bune, there is a peanut plant in
that town four stories high.— New
ark Journal.
If that plant fruits well the
market will be glutted—Arkan
sas Gazette.
Maybe then we can buy as many
peanuts as we can eat.
TOWN ‘PRIDE
Town pride is a pride that shoul d
be cultivated by every citizen of
Newark.
It is the duty of every man
who lives in Newark to do his
dead level best for everything
that concerns the welfare of New
ark, because this town is his home.
It is MY town—YOUR town—
and it is going to be just what WE
make it—YOU and ME.
To do this is not merely a privi
lege. It is a sacred duty.
Whatever helps to build up a
business, or institution, or enter
terprise of any kind in this town
helps to improve the conditions of
all dwellers therein.
All the units of a composite pop
ulation should w'ork together, pull
together, build together and plan
together for the increased prosper
ity and happiness of their com
munity.
Gather the lessons taught by
other towns and cities that have
felt the inspiration of city pride,
and then apply these lessons to
your own community.
A thing that would add more to
the beauty and comfortableness of
Newark than almost anything that
could be done for the town, con
sidering the small sum it would
cost, is the planting of shade and
ornamental trees along the streets.
If every person who owns proper
ty in town would, this fall, plant
some trees along the streets, we
would see a wonderful improve
ment in the appearance of the
town in a very few years. The
Journal suggests that at the pro
per time Mayor Ketchemdesignate
a day for this work, designating
the distance trees should be plant
ed from the property lines, and
that he ask every citizen in town
to plant trees along his property.
The Journal believes the busi
ness men of Newark will respond
liberally with cash donations for
working the Newark and Cord
road. They fully realize the im
portance of a good road from New
ark into that community, and they
cannot afford to play short. Good
roads affect the business man in
directly almost as much as they do
the farmer, and The Journal feels
confident that the business men
will do their full duty in this mat
ter. _
A man w'ith crowsfeet on his face
is not necessarily a bird.
Some of the streets of Newark
are washing away, but when at
tention is called to this fact, the
remark is usually made that “that
belongs to the town.” Of course it:
does; but the people are the town I
and the town are the people. So
why not every citizen take a little
more interest in protecting thej
town’s interests? In so doing, they j
are indirectly helping themselves
and making their own property
more valuable.
Why cuss the tariff? Natropicric
acid, raw acorns, annatto, asafeti
da, dragon’s blood, dividivi, stuffed
birds, ipecac, joss sticks, junk,
spunk and several other popular
breakfast foods are on the free
list. '
Every citizen between here and
Cord should make it a point to be
on the road early on the date for
working that road. That is YOUR
road, and you ought to be inter
ested in improving it.

—
If you live along the road from |
Newrark to Cord, come to Newark :
to the Good Roads meeting next
Tuesday night.
If you are planning to do some
thing mean, just put it off until
tomorrow. You know tomorrow
never comes.
Don't test the friendship of your
acquaintances by boring them
with your troubles.

DON’T TAKE THE
WRONG MEDICINE
If Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need
a Liver Tonic, Not nerely a
Laxative for the Bowels
_
Many people take a simple laxa
tive when their liver gets sluggish
rather than take calomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But
a mere laxative will not start a
sluggish liver. What is needed in
a tonic that will liven up the liver
without forcing you to stay at
home and lose a day from your
business.
You have such a tonic in Dod
son’s Liver Tone. Dodson’s Liver
Tone must be all they claim for it
because they gaurantee it to take
the place of dangerous calomel
and agree to hand back the money
with a smile to any person who
tries Dodson’s Liver Tone and is
not satisfied with the relief it gives
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a harm
less vegetable liquid with a pleas
ant taste and is a prompt and re
liable remedy for constipation,
billiousness, sour stomach, and the
other troubles that come from a
torpid liver.
The Newark Drug Co give it
their personal guarantee and if
you will ask about this guaurantee
you will protect yourself against
imitations that are not guaranteed.
Large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone is 50 cents. (Adv.)
