Bro. Biilingslea, Cham
pion of Woodruff co.
Citizenship.
This martyr of the peoole’s ev
ery interest wrote that tie did
not wish to fill his colntnns with
dead matters. He desires to give
his readers something of inter
est. 1 f there is one thins of more
interest than another to the citi
zenship of this county, it is the
Foirr Wire Fence Law. If this
hero were to ask his readers as
to their desires, he would be sur
prised at the unanimous demand
for something on this line. But
with this Four Wire Fence pro
position staring him in the face,
lie has the gall to say, it is of
too small a nature for him to fool
with. All he’says is, he signed
a petition against it. This is the
Lion in the people’s cause.
Because we take a stand and
give our honest convictions, he
has denominated us as a 2 x 4 ed
itor of the weekly disappoint
ment. We rather be a freeman
than a mealy mouthed hypocrit.
A man, who calls the Fence Law7
uninteresting to the citizen, can
with the same propriety call the
mooR'a Green Cheese and picture
the man in the moon os an old
Maid from Africa.
You seem to Vie surprised that,
we spring the no conviction rack
et on you and yet it is your own
admission. Bro. Billingslea take
-ifstand today and not years ago.
Put a few pounds of alum or
starch in your make-up. Be a
man even if you have ^o lean on
your fence.
We will admit for argument
sake that we are a 2x4 editor of
a weekly disappointment, but
what has the Free Press, that
Mighty, Matchless War Vessel of
many a victorious naval encoun
ter, said or done for the people
in regard to the Fence Law? It
is better to be an active, energe
tic “Weekly Disappointment”
than an inactive, flannel-mouthed
hypocritical giant as the Free P.
is. The mighty Goliah sees noth
■ hig of interest in the matter that
\ touches the smoke house and
| freedom of every citizen. 1 would
i vather be a 2x4, live in a log-hut
; and have honest convictions and
be brave enough to say them on
all occasions than be such a migh
, tv Hercules as Bro. Billingslea
; pictured himself; be void of con
i victions and be too cowardly to
give my sentiments for fear some
: land lord might withdraw his
dollar a year support,
j This is simply another case of
i David and Goliah. Goliah has al
; ready announced the flag of truce
due no doubt to the effective use
i of the argumentative sling and
pebbles at the hands of the 2x4
David.
| This Goliah asks us if we ever
| attended to our our own business
; and in reply will say, a newsman
| must necessarily say something
1 about other people. Our life has
| not been so diversified as that
; of Bro. Billingslea. But even he
! attends to others in locals and
| adds. This is part of the news
1 paper business to keep the peo
| pie in touch with all matters that
concern them.
We wonder to what Mighty
One this Goliah bows?
May the Lord have mercy on
I this mighty champion (?) of the
| Woodruff co. citizenship.
The News Man Visits
Augusta.
The News Man visited Augus
ta last Wednesday to transact
; some business in the Probate
Court.
While there, we placed the fol
lowing names on our honor roll:
C. M. James. M. Wilenziek, and
I T. B Hagen; Mr. W. B. Sim
monp kindly handed us the price
with which to credit his account.
We visited the business empo
i rium of the Kirkland Liquor Co..
' one of the oldest and best known
resorts in Woodruff Co. With
'the accommodating gentlemen,
Messrs. Grant and Allen behind
| a well tilled bar, there is no need
! of anyone having the blues. They
I are neatly prepared to please the
public in every way.

beautiful span of horses. He very
kindly invited us to a drive over j
the city. This was a rare treat, j
which a newspaper man seldom j
has an opportunity to appreciate. |
Of course, we accepted the invi- i
tation and then two defeated can-1
didates were out sight seeing.!
The Major showed us all the im-1
provements of the town; the lay* j
ing of a five or six inch pipe,
through the business street be
ginning at the south end of town
and extending straight on north !
to Maj. Stanley’s residence with i
only crossing one block the en
tire distance. We were shown
the last resting place of Mr. j
Hough, the founder of Augusta.'
By the way, if it were possible!
for Mr. Hough to lay aside the j
cloak of immortallity and once i
more don the mortal robes and
see the hum of enterprise, exam-!
the price of property and the va- ■
rious plants in progress of erec-;
tion, he would no doubt say, “I i
am proud of the fact that I am j
the founder of the future city of j
earstern Arkansas. Lot me back
to my repose. ” In our rounds,1
we saw Mayor Dale seeing after j
some important street work in j
the north end of town. The Dr. j
is a hustler. A little further on, !
we passed the Maj.’s handsome:
home. Novelists undoubtedly had j
this place in mind when they j
were discribing a beautiful man-;
sion, with its shrubbery and
lawns: its own water- works and
brilliant fountains.
The next edifice of interest is
the Court House. There it stands
a silent memento of an excellent
repair job. Would to heaven, we
could get the politics of our coun
ty repaired as that old Court
House was.
The growth of the city is so
marvelous, that the citizen is al
most lost in its cosmopolitan ap
pearance. The Major informed
us that there must he something
like 2500 people in Augusta.
The oil-mill, electric plant and
ice factory are rapidly being
pushed to completion.
The town of Augusta ows it all
to Maj. T. E. Stanley. This is a
private opinion publicly express
