it seems to be next to impossi

one would put in a supply of coal
they would find a ready sale for it.

Beginning next Monday every
farmer who takes a bale of cotton
to Newport will be presented with
a red bandanner handkerchief by
citizens of that town, .lust think
of that, ye hayseeds!
Financial Agent J. ('. Moore
recently sold 000 bales of cotton
raised on the Cummins place this
year for 12 cents a pound, which
amounts to somethinglike $18,000.
It is estimated that there will be
fully 1,200 bales more from this
year’s crop, which will probably
bring the total receipts from the
sale of cotton raised on the Cum
mins place this year up to £75,
000 or £80,000. The farm cost
$140,000 and the cotton raised on
t this year will more than half pay
the place. If you remember
correctly, Governor Davis stren
ously protested against the pur
/'Ufise ofthi* farm, on the ground, as
he claimed, that it V/H* covered
with Johnson grass and was prac
tically worthless. Now, what do
you think about it?
If the Beebe News' admiration
for Governor Davis continues to
grow Brother Woods will have to
enlarge the News. It has reached
the point now where his able ar
guments in favor of Davis have to
be set in solid nonpareil in order
to crowd them into the form.
If you want to live in a good
town come to Newark. It is made j
up of good conservative people
who are always ready to extend a
hand of welcome to all who may
come this way. We have good
schools and churches where the
young may be trained up to be
good and useful citizens. The
country surrounding i* varied and
consists of^ome of the finest farm
ing lands in the south.
The cotton buyers of Newark
have never offered a $5 priez to the
man who would bring1 a bale of cot
ton from the greatest distance, but ;
they are buying the cotton just
the same. Our buyers believe that
the people would rather have the
worth of their cotton than to have
a chance to win a measly little $5
and have from one-fourth to one
half a cent a pound deducted from
the value of their product.
Cotter is said to be on a boom.
Twenty-eight residences and store
houses are in course of construc
tion. These booms are never good
for much to any town except to en
rich a few individuals. A boom
creates fictitious values in real es
tate that cause many people to in
vest their last dollar, and after the
boom is over they see their cher
ished hopes vanish like a dream.
Newark has never had a boom, but1
'has always enjoyed a steady and
healthy growth, and as a result ev
ery foot of real estate in the town
is as good *s so much government
hoiluS—it never depreciates in val
ue.
President Roosevelt has again
urged Senator Hanna to take
charge of his campaign for the
presidency, but Senator Hanna de
clined. There is a well grounded
suspicion abroad in the land that
Uncle Mark will be a candidate
for the presidency himself.
"■ --
We notice that the hustling lit
tle village of Newport has been
having a street fair and cotton
carnival this week. The “fair" j
closes tomorrow and a premium
of £5 has been offered to the far- j
mer who hauls in a bale of cotton
from the greatest distance during
the week. A dispatch at a late hour
last night over 1'he Journal's spec
ial grapevine from Newport stated
that the farmers were taking a
lively interest in tie* contest for
this enormous prize, and some six j
or seven bales had been brought
in from Centerville, which is 13 1
miles north of Newport. It was
stated, however, that John Henry
Smith, who lives at Anvergn, 14^
miles south of Newport, was on
his way to town with a couple of
bales, and if he succeeded in reach-1
ing there before the contest closed, j
he would undoubtedly win the
prize. The Newporters were al
ways an enterprising and progress
ive people, and the fact that they
are offering this prize of $5 has
stirred the natives in that neck o’
the woods as nothing has in the
history of the town. Great flaming I
posters printed in red have been !
scattered over the country telling '
of this great and liberal proposi
tion. Some of the more reckless
buyers have been paying as high '
as 10.15 for cotton and it is esti
mated that fully 079 bales will be)
bought during the week.
Ran Into a Buggy.
Sherman Helton from near Oil
Trough came to town Wednesday
and as usual proceeded to tank up.
He started out home late in theaf-|
ternoon and a short distance from
town overtook Miss Annie Eller'
and an old gentleman by the name!
of Ilessong from Indiana who is!
here visiting the Eller family. J
They were driving along in a bug- j
gy and Helton whipped his team
up and ran into the buggy occu- |
pied by the young lady and Mr. j
Ilessong. He was driving in a
gallop and his wagon struck the
buggy with a good deal of force,
throwing Miss Eller and the old
g< tilleman out, severly wounding
the young lady and almost com
pletely demolishing the buggy.
The young lady sustained a pain
ful wound on one wrist and also on
the left lower limb. She has been
crippled in that limb for some
time, having had an operation per
formed on it a short time ago,
which makes the wound the more
painful. Mr. Ilessong escaped
with only a few slight bruises.
Helton was placed under arrest
and the case called for trial yes
terday morning at 10 o’clock, but
was continued until 2 o’clock in
the afternoon, and we are unable
to give the result. K+

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. “Eat plenty of
pork,’’ was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott’s Emulsion is themod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott’s Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott’s Emulsion does more
than that. There is some-,
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phitcs in Scott’s Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
