Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
Fifty years ago last Aug
ust,, in 1864, wheat sold at
$2.30 and corn at $1.60 per
bushel. It was war time
and our fathers knew what
the high cst of living really
meant. _
The New York World says
we are happy in that we have
at the head of our government
“The sanest mind entrusted
with such responsibilities
throughout the world.” A
voice from Oyster Bay says—
The parents who rear their
sons in idleness are doing
them an unspeakable in
jury. Every boy is entitled
to know by actual experi
ence what hard manual labor
means and to get the blessing
that comes through toughened
muscles and a tanned skin.
The prospects for a bump
er fruit crop in this section
are said to be better than for
many years. Older citizens
who keepu p with the fruit
and weather conditions say
that a good fruit crop is as
sured. And this a mighty
good thing to help old Gener
al Prosperity.
Several measures antagon
istic to the newspapers were
introduced in the legislature
during the term just ended
and some passed by good
majorities, yet when a resolu
tion was proposed asking the
newspapers to do something
free, it was unanimously
adopted. — De Vails Bluff

q nnn Q re
race gamblers had a “frame
up” fixed up on Governor
Hays. Such disreputable
methods as used by the pro
moters of the horse-race gam
bling bill are outside the pale
of respectability and should
be frowned upon by all re
spectable law-abiding people.
If the city of Hot Springs can
vpot live without such methods
it should be eliminated as a
nuisance and a plague-spot—
a leprosy on the face of the
earth. Whenever a city gets
to the point where it cannot
exist without licensing the so
cial evil, the saloon and the
race-track gambling, it is
time to build a fence around
it. give it a supply of sulphur
and some matches and let it
start a sheol of it’s own.— j
Monroe County Citizen.
