SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL
COMES TO CLOSE
Large Crowd Attend Commence
ment Exercises and are Thrilled
by Address of Dr. Robertson
The new auditorium of the High
School building was crowded to
its utmost capacity on Thursday
evening at 8 o’clock to witness the
graduating exercises. The class
this year was small—only three
young ladies who faithfully com
pleted the three years high school
course of study prescribed bv the
state board of education. The
young ladies were Misses Minnie
Lynn Martin, Kate Martin and Ef
fie Sisk. Miss Martin delivered the
salutatory and Miss Sisk the vale
dictory. The graduating essays of
the class were as follows: Miss
Kate Martin, “Willing and Able;”
Miss Sisk, “Life of Julius Caesar;"
Miss Minnie Lynn Martin, “Inde
cision.” The clearness of thought
and the expression with which
these subjects were presented
showed how carefully they had
been prepared by the young ladies.
l)r. Robertson, president of Ar
kadsas College had been invited to
be present and deliver an address
and present the diplomas, but the
train being about two hours late,
Principal J. B. Stewart presented
the diplomas, together with med
als and the certificates of promo
tion and of attendance to those pu
pils entitled to them. Principal
Stewart in his closing remarks
thanked the school board and all
the patrons who had so faithfully
stood by the school and co operat
ed with the teachers in their en
deavor to make the school what it
should be and heartily commended
the pupils, especially those in the
upper grades and high school, for
good deportment and obedience
to the rules throughout the term.
W. A. Hawthorne, one of the
teachers, made a short talk in
which he very highly praised the
pupils who had been perfect in at
tendance during the term and
showed that his pupils who had
made the most rapid progress
were the ones who had neither
been absent nor tardy a single
time during the year.
F. C. Hoyt, secretary of the
school board, was then called up
on for a talk. Mr. Hoyt in a few
timely remarks appealed to the
patrons of the district to stand as
a unit for a good school, to use
every effort that lies within their
power to guard the interests of
our boys and girls—that the safety
of our country lies in our public
schools, more so than in standing
armies and forts and frowning
batteries
Finally Ur. Kobertson arrived,
and although the program had
been carried out, Dr. Robertson
was introduced to the audience
by Principal Stewart and although
the crowd was beginning to grow
restless from the lateness of the
hour, Dr. Robertson’s address
took hold of the vast audience and
held the closest attention of his
hearers. His address was one of
the ablest ever delivered in New
ark.
II is subject was “Christian
Education.” Lack of time and
space will not permit us to give i
any extracts from his address but
those who failed to hear this lec
ture missed a rare treat.
Tho music rendered by Misses
Poe, Dealing and Magness added
greatly to the success of t he pro
gram and the applause with which
they were greeted showed they
were much appreciated by the
large audience. The pupils of the
high school deserving special men
tion for perfect attendance are
Winnie Dearing, Lena Foster,
Minnie Lynn Martin, Dan Moore
and Dick Holderby.

ARKANSAS NEEDS
MORE FACTORIES
State Suffers in Shipping Raw Ma
terials Away to be Converted
Into Finished Products
Arkansas’greatest need is more
factories and other enterprises
that will swell the payrolls and in
crease the commerce of the state.
We have all kinds of raw ma
terial but we depend too much
upon shipping it away to be man
ufactured into the finished pro
ducts.
Uur torests are being denud
ed and the lumber shipped beyond
the borders of the state to be
worked into the various articles
of furniture and woodenware.
Practically all of the state’s million
bale cotton crop is shipped away
to be manufactured in the finished
product. Even the cottonseed,
which is crushed at home, is for
the most part crushed by outside
capital and the oil shipped out of
the state to be refined and con
sumed in the manufatured pro
duct. Much of the cottonseed
meal is shipped away to be man
ufactured into feed and fertilizer.
We find a peculiar condition con
fronting us along this line. We
have the raw material for manu
facture here in abundance, and
the fuel and water power so nec
essary in manufacturing lies at
our very doors, yet home capital
is so timid that it cannot be induc
ed to enter the manufacturing
field under all these favorable con
ditions.
Surely the conditions would
change if our home people would
manifest an interest in local fac
tories, and we would soon find
our cities and towns in a thrifty
condition, expanding and growing
if we would undertake to work up
some of our own ra w material in
stead of shipping it out and letting
those of other states manufacture
it and send our portion back to us
at a profit and the freight both
ways added.
Some will say this is not a man
ufacturing country. It isn’t and
never will be until the home peo
ple begin to put some of their
money into factories and to build
up the manufacturing interests
of the state. We cannot expect
the outsider to come into our
midst and do for us what we will
not do for ourselves. The oppor
tunities are here and they are
here for our home peopie as well
as for the other fellow.
REMEMBER!
The old reliable when you are go
ing to buy furnishing for the home
or farm. We have everything you
need and at the right price too.
Look over this list and see what
you want then come in and let us
figure with you:
FURNITURE, SEWING flACHINES,
BUCK STOVES, CARTS, BUGGIES,
SURRIES, WAGONS and AUTOS,
TENTS and AWNINGS, WAGON
and BUGGY HARNESS.
