THE REAL ESTATE MAN
1 And His Relation to the Communi
ty at Large.
Editor The Journal
* Have the citizens of Newark
land surrounding country ever!
thought of tin* unique position the;
(real estate man occupies among!
them? Whether he is a necessary 1
element in the community or a
nuisance, a swindler, a .skinner? j
The writer believes from his own
observation that the minds of many i
persons in the surrounding conn-!
try and in fact all over our county j
are disabused along tins line. Think
about a man having property, de
siring to sell and refusing to list it
for sale in a good live real estate j
company. Something is radically
w rong.
Now let's get together and think
and talk with common sense, and ;
reason as every inlel'gent man
should.
Every live community has its
real estate man. He is one of the
most potent factors in the building
up of every enterprise in any lo
cality. lie advertises the advan
tages of your county, its climate,
its resources, its schools, its health,
its churches, its morals etc., while
you set back and look on and
watch your town prosper and have
never contributed a cent, not even
lifted your property with your lo
cal real estate man who is bending
every energy to bring purchasers
and home-seekers, and is bringing
them too. to your very doors eve
ryday; when you arc anxious to!
sell and then hop out and sell for
a good round price on your own
account. Now who brings these
buyers to your dom? Who scat
ters abroad the news of our won
derful resources and advantages,
and puts you in a position to grasp
the opportunity of getting on top
of the great tidal wave of enter
prise, thrift, and prosperity? 1
leave the answer for you.
The writer has approached citi-1
zons of this community, not long .
ages in the past, either, and made j

DROWNED IN JACK CREEK
(I. W. Clark and Son Met Death
in Swollen Stream.
(}. W. (dark and his son, John,
lost their lives Saturday afternoon
in attempting to ford Jack Creek
a small stream one mile east of
Black river in Jackson county.
Mr. Clark and his two sons,
John and Will, aged 26 and IS
were returning home from New
port in a wagon. They drove in
to the stream and the wagon was
capsized, throwing the occupants
out, but the younger son, Will,
managed to climb on top of the
wagon bed and was thereby saved.
The other son, John, became en
tangled in some harness that were
in the wagon and was drowned.
11 is body was still entangled in the
harness when taken from the creek
several hours later.
It is thought that Mr. Clark,
who was 56 years old was so be
numbed by the cold water that he
was unable to use his limbs or that
ho took the cramp, llis body was
found in very shallow water and
h<* was still conscious, but died in
a few hours alter being taken out.
They lived a short distance a
bove the Black river bridge and
were engaged in timber worl s.
Croup
Begins with the symptoms of a
common cold; there is chilliness,
sneezing, sort', throat, hot skin,
quick pulse, hoarseness and im
peded respiration. Give frequent
small doses of Bullard s ilorelioi
Syrup, (the child will cry for it)
and at the lirst sign of a eroupy
cough, apply frequently Ballard's
Snow Liniment to the throat. Mrs.
A. Vliet, New (’astie, Colo., writes,
March 19th, 1901: “1 think Bal
lard's IIorehound Syrup a won
derful remedy, and so pleasant.”

Itch-Ringworm.
Id. T. Lucas, Wingo. Ky.,
writes: April 25th, 1902, "For
10 to 12 years I had been afllicted
with a malady known us the "itch. ”
The itching was most unbearable;
I had tried for years to Hud relief,
having tried all remedies I could
hear of, besides a number of doc
tors. I wish to state that one sin
gle application of Ballard's Snow
Liniment cured me completely and
permanently. Since then I have
used the liniment on two separate
occasions for ring-worm and it
cured completely. 25c, 50c, and
