It begins to look like the coun
try is going dry sure ’nough when
there are only 14 counties left in
the “wet” column in old Kentuc
ky. _
When you have accomplished
something don’t sit down and
brag about it the rest of your
life. Get busy and beat the re
cord. _
Claude L. Coger has resigned as
editor of the Batesville Guard and
has returned to his home at Even
ing Sha le, where he and his fam
ily wiii reside. Mr. Coger is a
good newspaper man and it is not
probable that he will remain out
of the harness very long.
The man who really thinks that
he is doing his best in the way of
ability will never climb the ladder
of success. It is the man who
has a consciousness that he can do
better, and who is rightly dissatis
fied with what he has done that
is the man who is in the proper
attitude to make real progress.
The president of the Stock
Yards National Bank of Chicago
is credited with the following:
“There is only one absolutely in
dependent class of farmer in the
United States, and that is the live
stock farmer, lie has a cash mar
ket 365 days out of the year for
everything he turns off his plan
tation. _
A citizen of the southern part
of the State has written Governor
Hays urging him to call a special
session of the legislature to enact
a law suspending the payment of
debts for one year. That fellow
certainly is a genius. It would
not cost the State more than
about $15,000 to have a special
session of the legislature pass
such a law, and nobody is going
to pay any debts that they can
put off, anyway.
The superior advantages posses
sed by Arkansas for the economi
cal production of live stock are
readily apparent to any thinking
man. The same expenditure of
money and labor will produce
more food for livestock, either as
pasturage or matured feed, than
can be produced in anv section of j
the North or West, where stock
raisins is proving immensely
profitable. Arkansas lacks noth
ing in land, climate, or facilities
for the production of cheap feed.
One of her greatest needs is more
livestock farmers.
The Arkansas Gazette carried
twelve whiskey advertisements in
last Sunday's edition. In one
sense of the word, that was good
advertising, but advertising that ■
does not make fools of men, wreck i
homes, till penitentiaries, poor
houses, asylums, and does not de
crease the growth of our country
in different ways, is much more
to be preferred.— Judsonia Ad
vance.
Hut what does the Gazette care
about the general good of the
country? “Get the Coin," is the
Gazette’s motto, and so long as it
has a fat bank account the Gazette
doesn’t care if there is a jail and
an asylum on every street cornel-.

We will buy a pound of Cotton for
every pound of Tobacco we sell
We realize, with all the residents of the South,
the present financial stringency due-to the cotton
situation. We realize that the South must sell its
cotton, and we will help in the most practical way
we know—by buying cotton.
For every pound purchased of all of these famous, popular brands of
tobacco and cigarettes (counting 1,000 cigarettes equal to five pounds
of tobacco) we will buy from our dealers a pound of cotton at 10c, in
accordance with our circular to dealers dated Sept. 28.
We have faith in cotton. We know that when the war clouds
roll away, the demand of the manufacturers ior cotton throughout the
world will be greater than ever before, and the South will enjoy unpre
cedented prosperity.
