THE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE
Some Random Thoughts on the
Pleasure of Living
Are you living every day the
very best you know how to live?
This does not mean jire you try
ing to enjoy yourself without
thought of what you should enjoy
or appreciate.
But are you living so as to get
the most out of lifei
There are folks who make every
moment of life rich and full with
pleasure; there are others who
Irag away the time, wishing the
■light or day would speed so as to
uring some antiepated pleasure on
the morrow.
This is the wrong way to live.
Enjoy every moment of time,
make every moment a profitable
moment.
Let the joy of the coming day
ernain veiled in the mists of the
'uture, and worry over no impend
ng trouble or disaster.
This is the right way to live.
There is nothing more pathetic
,han dead hopes, there is no deep
»r sorrow than lost ambition.
There is no tradgey so great as
m ill-spent life.
The way to avoid the pathos,
he sorrow and the tragedy’ is to
ewel every moment with the joy
if living.
Fill every hour every day
vith work and effort, make the
jest of every opportunity, let no
mn ever set on an ill-spent dav.
There is no end to what a man
;an do or overcome if he spends
svery day in living for some high
impose.

The Old Person—I wish you at)
kinds of prosperity during your term
of office, bub. but I want to warn you
this year’s job is a fast life. In just
12 months or in about 8,760 hours, you
will be wearing a long gray beard,
spectacles on your nose, a seven-dol
lar black suit badly wrinkled, weigh
I-; - ■
about sixty-five pounds, and carry
around one of those glass thingum
bobs they have in the kitchen to time
the egg boiling.
And some will be sorry, others glad,
that you are then ready to be succeed
ed by another fat little infant labeled
; “1911.”

] James W. Adams announces in
today’s paper as a candidate for
county treasurer. Mr. Adams is a
good citizen and well qualified in
every respect for the position he
seeks. He made the race four
| years ago and made a good show
| ing.
To the metropolitan sheet, your
town is a spot on the map; a spot
without interest, unless a cyclone,
flood, or some calamity or "big
Join's” hits it. To your local pa-1
per, your town is "the” spot sur- i
rounded by a map. The local pa
per boosts your town and takes an j
interest in you. You don’t have j
to commit murder, suicide, or mix
up in a scandal, to get into its col-1
umns. He wise and stand up for j
the little sheet that stands by you j
and yours.
PEARCE FOR RE-ELECTION
Judge Cul. L. l’earce announces
in today’s paper as a candidate for
re-election as county judge.
Judge Pearce is now serving his j
tirst term as county and probate 1
judge, and has made a creditable j
record. He has caused some sub
stantial improvements to be made
on the courthouse at Batesville, has I
purchased an additional tract of
land for the county poor farm and j
built a. number of the best steel
j bridges in the county. Notwith-1
standing these expenditures, the
records show that the county’s ex
! penses have been ^*',165 less dur-;
j iug his term of office to date than
| for a like period of time preceding
j his administration.
While his administration has
I been conducted along conservative
lines, financially, Judge Pearce!
lias been very aggressive in all
matters pertaining to the general
j welfare of the counq| and her cit
izens. It was through his efforts
that the government agricultural;
demonstration work was taken up;
in this county, he agreeing to pay
half the expenses of the county |
demonstration agent. This work*
has proven very popular and ben- [
joHcial whereever undertaker
throughout tho entire South, an<;
we have no douht that it will prove
j of great value to the farmers ol
Independence county.
.Judge Pearce is asking for re
election to a second term upon the
merits of his present administra
tion, and The Journal feels no hes
itancy in saying that we b* lieve
the people would, make no mistake
in giving him their indorsement
by nominating him for re-election.

BOYS DOING GREAT WORK
Secretary Wilson Commends Boys
Corn Club flovement
There was an interesting occa
sion in the office of the Secretary of
Agriculture December 14 when
Secretary Wilson presented di
plomas to Bascomb (Jsher of South
Carlonia, DeWitt Lundy of Mis
sissippi, Elmer Halter of Arkan
sas, and Ralph Bellwood of Vir
ginia.
These boys were among the 12,
500 in the Boys’ Demonstration
Work in the South who planted
one acre of corn apeice and work
ed it under instructions from the
United States Department of Ag
riculture.
The above nafPed boys, all under
eighteen years of age, visited the
Department of Agriculture and
other interesting sights of the
Capital, and were received by the
President.
Thousands of dollars’ worth of
prizes have been offered this year
to these Boys’ Clubs in the South
by merchants, Boards of Trade and
public spirited citizens generally
under regulations furnished by
the United States Department of
Agriculture. These regulations do
not encourage freak yeilds, but are
drawn to encourage profitable
farming.
In a brief adress to the boys,
Secretary Wilson declared that
they and the boys engaged in like
work are "the only hope we have
for the continued greatness and
prosperity of the country.” 31e
pointed out that the South now, in
agriculture and in manufactoring,
was prospering as never before,
because the men and women of the
South had put into the work their
own energy and ability and in no
sense were dependent upon the
capital or the industry of people
from other parts of the country.
‘‘These diplomas,” he concluded,
"are unique. No boys ever have
received a similar reconigition of
their merit. Nothing I have done
since I have been Secretary of Ag
riculture has given me more pleas
ure then to present them to you.
You haved earned them. You
have begun right. You now are
in line to achieve the highest hon
ors of your respective states.”
BUYING CORN.
Bud Sisk is buying corn and
is paying 58 cents a bushel for
good dry corn. You will find him
on the street all the time.
I Banking
Is Our Business
CHE sign “Bank” does not make a
bank and is often misleading It
requires time, energy, close attention
to business, a substantial capital and
experience in banking to make a bank
We claim, without blushing, all the
essentials necessary to make our bus
iness that of banking, and tender our
patrons a service thoroughly seasoned
by years of experience, backed by a
substantial capital and surplus.
