FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1907
We often hear the remark in re
gard to the weather that one ex
treme follows another. If that is
the case the country is due about
two years of good weather.
The Journal has heard nothing
definite in regard to the canning
factory for several days. It won’t
do to let it fall through. Let’s
get together and do something.
The first number of Cave City’s
new paper, the Clarion, published
by Elson Brewer, has been re
ceived. It is a neat and well gotten
up paper and is a credit to the
town and its publisher.
Lordy! IIow we do wish the
legislature would hurry up and
get ready for business so some fel
low could introduce a bill making
it unlawful for it to rain in Arkan
sas more than thirty-one days in
Any one month.
It is estimated by the Depart
ment of agricultue that last year’s
crop wMs produced and garnered
at jj/ saving of $685,000,000 over
the cost of raising an equal crop
fifty years ago. This saving was
accomplished by the use of modern
Agricultural impiements.
Unless his attorneys can secure
a continuance of the case, Senator
A. W. Covington, who was presi
dent of the last state senate, will
be placed on trial in the First di
vision of the Pulaski circuit court
on the 28th of this month on a
charge of perjury. It is chaged
that. Senator Covington committed
perjury in his former trial when
he testified that he did not receive
$(>,000 from M. i). L. Cook to be
used in influencing the vote on the
state capitol hill in the last legisla
ture. _
In the ten years from 1800 to
1000 the wealth of the United
States incresed 23 billion dollars
or at the rate of 2,300 million dol
lars a year. In the last four years
the gain in wealth has been only
f> billion dollars less than in the
preceding ten years, while the an
nual rate of increase lias been near
ly double. Not only is the aggre
gate of wealth greater than ever
before, but the per capita wealth
in much iarger, and in 1004 amoun
ted to $1,307 for each man, woman
and child in the United States.
| Pastor’s Column |

•*5* %♦
Being fully persuaded that
printers ink is one of the most po
tent agents for good and a medium
of communication for all reliable
and useful information; and earn
estly desiring to do good, advance
the church, and other moral inter
ests in the bounds of my Held of
| labor, I therefore have arranged
i with the generous editor of rl he
Journal to use thiscolumn for such
items as will be of interest to our
people, and the public generally.
From week to week it will be my
desire to fill this space with helpful
items, and Christion thought. As
pastor, I feel fully installed in my
work, and the often difficult task
of getting acquainted is obviated
by all these years of association
that lie back of us, having known
many of them from my childhood,
and also your fathers and mothers.
! These fellowships tend to remove
!the common expession, to wit:
j “I want to see the new preacher,
and hear him, and see what he
looks like, and whether or not he
can preach.” You all. or most of
you are at ease on this line,
Now that this preliminary work
is done, let us address ourselves
to real earnest, personal work for
j the onward movement of all relig i
ions interest pertaining to our zion.

sed to nothing but sin and in figh

by prayer, and all my might to lift
him up to a better and a happier
life. My first, second, third, and

church I represent. But not by
trying to pull down any one else,
and it is not out of place for me
to say, I will not sit idle and see
another try to pull us down.
There is room, and work for all,
“in high ways, by ways, and
hedges,” and then, after ail we all
can do, the devil will get a big
share, 1 fear. It is my purpose to
visit all my parishioners, and others
also for whom L entertain naught
but love and esteem. Now my i
brother, and sister in the Lord, let
me urge you to personal endeavor,
individual work. If you have i
“dropped out” for the year gone:
by, for the good you may do, for
the blessing it will be to your own
self, drop in again, drop into the
Sunday school work, drop into the
regular church service, drop into
the weekly prayer meeting. Hear:
this may be your last year to work
for humanity, and Christianity.
Let it be your best. When in'your
midst as pastor, kindly inform me
of any sick, or needy ones, call
ray attention to any who may have
been neglected in the daily minis
tration, you will not offend me in
the least, but do a valuable service
for me and others. Lastly let us all
do all we can, the best we can, and j
remember it is not so much ability ;
as it “a-will-ity.” I will, I must, i j
can, and we will see wondertnl I
things come to pass. Amen.
GEM WORTH $125,000,000
Calculators Set to Work and Find
That Diamond’s Value Is One
Eiglith Billion.
The discovery at Elandsfontein,
near Pretoria, of a diamond which
is reputed to be three times great
er than the largest stone previous
ly found, has set the calculators at
work, with amusing results. One
of these, says the New \ ork Mm, j
who bases his calculations on the
estimated value of tin* famous lie
gent or Pitt diamond, figures that
the new gem, even if two-thirds ol
its bulk is lost in setting, ought to
be worth £l>.~),574.0S5. This is the
most daring of all computations,
most of which vary between a half
million and three million sterling,
with one of £1 ."5,000,000.
Nothing beyond the bare report
of the discovery of the stone is yet
known and later information ma\
reduce this marvel to dimensions
which can more easily be grasped.
There is no present reason, how
ever, to doubt that it greatly ex
coeds the Excelsior stone of 0(0
carats uncut, which was found at
Jagersfonfein, and was the larg
est hitherto found in South Africa.
This was cut into nine large gems
in December. 1004, by Tiffany, and
doubtless the new stone will also
be divided.
Whatever the value of the new
discovery, the shareholders of the
Premier mine, in which it was
found, have every reason to con
gratulate themselves. The mar
ket valuation of the shares in
creased tin* other day by nearly a
million pounds sterling. The boom
in the shares was largely the re
sult of the assumption that where
one gem of 0,002 carats is found
others as big or even bigger may be
located. The discovery cannot,
however, be regarded as a net gain
! to the company, because under the
! present diamond law the govern
I ment is entitled t o six-tenths of all
the net profit.
Tt.c.... w umiiofltiiHr VOPV much
like a fairy tale in the history of
the Premier mine, which is located
on a farm whose Boer owner sold
it two years ago for £56,000. The
nominal capital of the Premier
company is £80,000. It earned
last year £(507.7:18, and the market
value of the shares is now in the
! neighborhood of £10,000,000. The
| advance is generally under
j stood to have been caused by
heavy buying by the De Beers com
pany, with the object of obtaining
the control of the company and
maintaining its monopoly in the
diamond field.
