THE HIGH COST OF
HIGH LIVING
Some reasons why it costs a lot
of money to live:
In the last fiscal year the gentle
man drinkers of the United States j
bought and consumed 143,300,000
gallons of whiskey and brandy,
and 64,500,000 barrels of beer.
During the same length of time
the nervous, energetic smokers of
the country burned up 7,707,000,
000 cigars and 14,012,000,000 cig
arettes.
What was left over in the way
of money went for beefsteak,
clothing, rent and other luxuries.
When times seem hard greater
effort should be made to make
times better. If we get discourag
ed when we fail to produce what
we expected we are sure to pro
duce less the next year. The only
way to meet disappointment is to
increase your producing facilities
and strive to get greater returns.
Successful business men increase
their machinery and strive for
more business when trade is dull.
Why shouldn’t we get better im
plements and more improved ma
chinery and reap the benefits of
greater and cheaper production?
Farm and Ranch.
The test for a man who offers
himself as a candidate for office
should be his character as has been
established by his service to society
in private life. Those who have
done little for the general good of
their community as a private citi
zen can hardly be expected to do
a great deal for the people when
given official positions.
President Wilson is said to be
very much interested in working
out an amendment to the currency
law* that wall make it easier for one
to borrow money. The thing we
are mostly interested in is some
way to make it easier to pay back
what we borrow.
An old wagon that goes to
“squeaking” as soon as you get to
town, a measly calf that persists
in chew’ing the tail off your best
Sunday shirt, and a race horse
that won’t run are just about as
provoking as any three things we
know of. _________
A certain distinguished old gen
tleman named Job is said to have
experienced a great deal of troub
le in his day. But he missed quite
a lot when he failed to get out and
try to get some of his friends to
run for congress.
OLD SETTLERS RE-UNION
Ed. Journal.—My letter of Jan
uary 2, on my old associates of 40
and 50 years ago, has awakened
so many echoes that I feel impell
ed to add another, and give a few
names I did not think of when I
wrote my other letter. There were
the McArthur boys, Jake, John,
Dave, Ben and Joe; the Edgar
boys, Joe and Mack; Rube Crow;
Zach Garner; Jim and John Deck
er; George, Jobe and Ad Worley;
Dye Keeney; Jim Griffin; Jim True;
John Grimes; Granville Cash;Newt
Bean and John Coker; the Massey
boys; Nat Wilson, John aid Billy
Kinman, and Dr. Bevens.
A nice letter from Judge J. W.
Scott, seconding my motion for a
reunion this year, and suggesting
old Shady Grove as a suitable
place, is partly my apology for
this second letter.
Let the boys and girls now liv
ing begin to think over the mat
ter and let us all pull together and
bring it to pass. 1 suggest we have
it about May or June, or later.
Most any time in the late spring
or early summer would be a suit
able time.
I suggest as orators of the day,
Bro. Jno. H. Dye and Rev. H. T.
Gibson, and master of ceremonies,
Frank Martin and Nat Wilson.
For games for the bovs, "Bull
pen,” “Town ball,” “Hot ball” and
“Leap frog.” For the girls,“Three
cornered cat” and “Mumble peg.”
An old fashion-singing class led
by L. C. Jernigan would be very
appropriate. So hunt up all your
old “Southern Harmonies” and
“Christian Harmonies” and we will
make the welkin ring. Not only
the boys and girls who are living
are to be there, but their kith, kin
and friends, all along the long line,
are expected to be present and
bring well filled baskets for the
great occasion. Pass it round and
talk it up and let us have this joy
meeting and good hand shaking
of one another. Cordially,
Jas. F. Jernigan,
Imboden, Ark., Jan. 15.
