NOTARY PUBLIC
Notary work of all kinds done in a
careful and correct manner by A. A.
Henderson at the Merchants and
Planters Bank.
The man who looks for better con
ditions to come is happier by far than
hp who expends time in reviewing the
calamities of the past.
Russia wants to borrow four hun
dred million dollars Jor internal im
provements. Sorry, but we just
havn't got the change to spare.
Shaking of the recent Democratic
State Convention the Arkansas Demo
crat says it was one of the most har
monious conventions ever held in Ar- (
kansas. There was less friction, less
personal politics and less crimination
than we have l*een accustomed to for
many years. It is an augury of purer ;
and Ijetter politics.
The report comes from Little Rock
that Congressman Joe. T. Robinson
of Lonoke will l)e a candidate to suc
ceed Senator Jeff Davis in the senate
at the end of Davis’ present term. But ,
as that time is some three years off,
we hope the gentlemen will coniine
themselves to attending to their present
jobs for at least a couple of years yet.
E. N. Flank, a Benton county farm
er, raised about $8,(NX) worth df stra w
berries this year, and in addition has
shipped fifty-live crates of peaches,
three crates of raspberries and four
crates of blackberries. If the farmers
in the upland country north of New
ark would emulate Mr. Plank’s exam
ple the cry of hard times would not be
so common._
Fifty years ago there was some ex
cuse for bad roads, for our country
was poor, but there is no excuse now.
A good road is always to be desired,
and is a source of comfort and con
venience to every traveler. Good
roads attract population, as well as
good schools and churches. Good
roads improve the value of property,
so that it is said a farm lying five
miles from market connected by a bad
road, is of less value than an equally
good farm connected by a good road.
A larger load can be drawn by one
horse over a good road than by two
over a bad one. Good roads encour
age the greater exchange of products
and commodities between one section
ami another and directly or indirectly
benetit every citizen in the community.
When a man is heard to sjieak
slightly of women, rest assured there
is something wrong somewhere. Such
unfortunates deserve very often the
pity as well as the contempt of their
disgusted auditors. The following
from an exchange is good enough to
liear repeating. At a dinner a certain
man responded to the enevitable toast
of “women.” He dwelt entirely upon
the weakness of the sex, claiming that
the difference between the liest and
the worst was only a question of en
vironment and opportunity. At the
close of his remarks one of the guests
arose and quietly said: “I trust the
gentlemen, in the application of his
remarks, referred to his own mother
and sister, and not ours.” The man
must be inhumanly hardened who
could not feel the sting of such a re
buke.
CHURCH ON BUSINESS PLAN
Churches are more and more l>eing
conducted on business principles.
It is l>eing recognized that the hap
hazard method is not the most desir
able, and that there should be order
and decorum in the business as well as
the spiritual affairs of the church, if
it would prosper.
A Little Rock church which is pre
paring to complete a building already
started has discarded the time-honored
system of lieggirfg, or solicting con
tributions to carry on the work, and
will issue bonds which will 1m? taken
by its mem tiers.
Unfortunately congregations do no
contain many millionaires who would
1m- able to drop enough in the Sunday
school contribution box to build the
church, and it is often a genuine bur
dens upon those who are dependent
upon salaries to bear this heavy ex
pense.
The payment of a church pledge,
which should l>e considered as sacred
as any obligation, often entails sacri
fice that is most difficult at the time.
While it would not lie feasible or de
sirable to abandon the passing of the
contribution basket, the sooner the
church gets upon a business basis the
sooner will it be in a position to ac
complish its maximum good.—Arkan
sas Democrat.
, JEFF WANTS TO BE
GOVERNOR AGAIN
2 Little Rock, June 8.- A close politi
cal friend of Senator Jeff Davis, who
was a member of the last two sessions
of the Arkansas legislature and who
always voted for policies advocated
by Davis, is authority for the state
ment that the senator will this summer
make a canvass of the counties whose
delegates in the late state convention
voted against him for delegate-at-large
and endeavor to secure protests from
the Democracy of those localities
against the action of the delegates
and the state convention in turning
him down.
It is said that Senator Davis is also
seriously considering the advisability
of running against Gov. Donaghey
for a second term, but before definite
ly making up his mind will wait until
after the legislature disposes of the
state capitol building bill, which the
Democratic state platform placed en
tirely in the hands of Mr. Donaghey.
AN OLD TERRAPIN
Twenty-seven years ago R. M. An
derson, arrived in this county from
Tennessee and hired to the late J. H. |
Russell to make a crop. One day he
found a terrapin, upon the back of
which he cut his initials and turned it j
loose. Nothing more was thought of
the incident until one day last week j
when Nix Grice, who now owns the
Russell farm, found a tear a pin with 1
l,R. M. A.” cut upon its shell, and 1
upon speaking of it to K. W. Rector
the incident of twenty-seven years ago
was distinctly remembered by the
latter.
Th terrapin appeared to lx* in first
class condition, with bright prospects I
for long life. Melbourne Times.

\ our ordinary man who does the
brilliant things would be ordinary all |
the time were it not for the fact that j
he is inspired by a woman.
Great thoughts and great deeds are
the children of married minds.
