GOOD FOR THE FARMERS
Farmers cannot supply the demand
for mules. Good mules are worth
twenty-five per cent more than they
were ten or fifteen years ago, and there
is probably twenty-five per cent more
mules raised now than then, yet the
farmers cannot supply the steadily in
creasing demand and the prices con
tinue to advance.
There should he a profitable lesson
in this to the farmer. When he raises
something the world wants, he finds
no trouble in disposing of it at a pro
fit.
It costs no more to raise a good
mule now than it did live, ten or fifteen
years ago, and yet itfbrings its owner
forty to sixty dollars more than it did
a few years ago.
To the farmer there is no more
lucrative venture than raising a few
mules every year for market. A good
pasture and a very small amount of
feed will raise several head of mules
and when he gets them ready for mar
ket the farmer cannot realize how
little they have cost him.
Here in this section of Arkansas we
have every advantage for this line of
work and there is no immediate danger
of overstocking the market.
America has demonstrated that she
ean outstrip the world in raising mules
for morket and her export trade in
mules grows greater year after year.
The farmers can greatly increase
their prosperity by raising more mules
for market.
An exchange describes a successful
man as follows: “A man who has
made a happy home for his wife and
children. No matter what he has not
done in the way of achieving wealth
and honor, if he has done that, lie is a
grand success, if he has not done
that, through his own fault, though he
he be the highest in the land, he is a
most pitiable failure. We wonder how
many men in the mad pursuit of gold,
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can lie
left to their families as great as the
memory of a happy home.”
The Newark Journal is again a wel
come visitor to our exchange table.
Editor Craig attempted to leave Ar
kansas some months ago, but like all
the rest who have ever basked in the
sunshine of her pleasant valleys, or
eat corn bread ind turnip greens on
her verdant h.lls, he had to come
back.—Monroe County Citizen.
The columns of The Journal are al
ways open to the people for the dis
cussion of any matter of public in
terest. The fact that you may not
agree with this pai>ci in your ideas
and opinions will be no barrier to your
discussion of any public matter. The
•Journal recognizes the right of 'all
men to believe as they choose, and
the fact that you differ from us does
not lessen our regard for you or your
rights as a citizen. The newspaper is
largely a public servant: a forum for
the discussion of matters affecting the
public welfare, as well as a purveyor
of public information. A paper con
ducted otherwise than upon the broad
and liberal lines before mentioned is.
not a real newspaper in the true sense
of the word, but is only an organ for
the public exploitation of its owner's
private interests and opinions.
John It. Pepper of Memphis, one of
the South's most distinguished laity
churchmen, has adopted and lives by
the following motto: “I am only one,
but I am one; I cannot do everything,
but I can do something: what I can do,
I ought to do, and what I ought to do,
by the grace of God, 1 will do.” There
is a great deal more in this than you
think at first reading, and if every
man who is really trying to live right
would adopt and live up to a similiar
motto this would be a much more
1 pleasant world to live in.
I
The Journal publishes in today's
paper a communication from our fel
low townsman and former Circuit
Clerk T. 11. Hearing in which he gives
reasons for favoring the proposed in
crease in the salaries of our county
officials. Being well acquainted with
the duties devolving upon the various
officials, ancWieing a man of sound
judgment, careful and conservative in
business matters, and a heavy tax
payer, Mr. Hearing’s opinions in the
matter are well worthy of considera
tion.
The monthly statement of Uncle
Sam's receipts and expenditure-, for
the month of January shows a deficit
of $15,543,842. This would soon
bankrupt anybody but Uncle Sam.
But he doesen’t seem to lose any sleep
trying to mend the hole in his pocket.
He “jess laffs” and goes on increas
ing the pay of his servants. But the
bill collectors are going to stick a hill
under the old man’s nose some of these
days that will cause a blizzard to
chase itself up his spinal column.
The Monroe County Citizen thinks
that the various state-wide prohibition
movements indicate a nation-wide and
world-wide prohibition, and says the
day is coming when it will l>e impossi
ble for men to disgrace the race by
drink. The Journal is inclined to
agree with the Citizen, and we believe
the world will be far better off in
every respect by the total elimination
of this cause of the wreck and ruin ol
so many promising lives.
A bigger and hotter Newark will
benefit every citizen of the town anil
surrounding community. This i'- one
matter upon which we can all agree,
let’s forget our petty personal
differences and get busy.
THE HAN WHO HAS 1
A BANK ACCOUNT
%
V
The man who has an account at the Bank has many
advantages over the one who carries his money in
his pocket — lie learns to save the small sums which
the man who carries his money in his pocket spends
for the hundred-and one things he does not really
need and could get along just as well without.
lie pays his bills by check, increasing his credit,
and always has a receipt. He takes good care of his
account and increases his credit at the Bank.
He can, at any time, tell where his money goes and
see where there ui a possibility of saving a little more
for business purposes.
Unless you have a Bank account, right now is the
time to start. Come in and do it today.

An address has been issued by Maj.
Gen. J. P. Smith of the Arkansas
Division U. C. V. urging a large at
tendance at tlie annual re-union to be
held at Memphis the 8th, 9th and 10th
of June. These annual re-unions
bring' great joy to the hearts of these
old warhorses, whose ranks are being
rapidly thinned by the Grim Reaper.
Every old ex-Confederates who can
possibly do so should attend this re
union.
The city council should take some
; steps to prevent the frequent floodings
1 of a portion of Southwest Newark.
Every heavy rain causes Thomas
creek to overflow to such an extent
that it is damaging much property,
and there will soon be an immense
gulley running down the middle of one
of the streets if something is not done
to turn the course of the water.

some do these things ignorantly. Their
parents did the same before them,
therefore, “the sour grapes have put
the children’s teeth on edge.” Who,
of the many that are guilty of these
things, are reading this will begin a I
reform from now, even at this moment?
Judgment is coming, a day of final
reckoning, and God will ask for his
own with usury. Who but the finally
faithful can reply: “Lord, here are
the five talents thou gavest, and five
more added.” Then the well done,
and rest begins forever. Oto.
