The Newark Journal
PUBLISH HD EV KB Y FRIDAY
O. F. Craig. Editor
Entered at the post other at Newark,
Arkansas, as second class mail matter
A Memphis firm is advertising
for a drunkard. It ought not to be
hard to find one in that town.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
success. Let Newark beware,
lest she get into the Jacksonport
class. _____________
Ex-President Diaz, who served
as chief executive of Mexico for
twenty-seven years, is said to be
worth seventy million dollars. No
wonder he didn’t want to quit.
Preparations are being made at
Hot Springs for the annual State
Fair to be held in that city in Oc
tober. The State Fair is a good
thing for Arkansas, and its a pity
the legislature did not provide a
little of the State’s money for this
deserving enterprise that it squan
dered on some other needless
and useless things.
The Hot Springs papers are ex
hibiting a poor quality of state
pride in knocking on the manner
in which Little Hock entertained
the Confederate Reunion. It looks
to The Journal like the very rot
tenest kind of sour grapes on the
part of Hot Springs. We have
heard dozens of people who have
attended many Reunions say that,
from a point of entertainment,tak
ing care of and handling the
crowds, the Little Rock Reunion
was the best they ever attended.
Contained in Governor l)on
aghey’s call for the special session
of the legislature is a paragraph
that has misled many people. We
have reference to the matter of
making appropriations for the I
maintenance of the state govern
ment and the charitable institu
tions. These were all provided for,
and in a manner that the governor
could have conveniently used the
pruning knife on many items to
good advantage. Its popular just
now to criticize the legislature,
hut even the devil should he giv
en his dues.
The Journal wonders if the peo
ple of Newark are going to take
any interest in the matter of build
ing a park near the spring? We
have heard the objection raised
that it would be too expensive to
fill in, or raise the ground, above
the overflow from Thomas creek.
Hut that could be easily overcome
by building a small stone wall
along the western boundary of the
park, and then designating a
clean-up day and inviting ev
erybody in town to haul a load of
rubbish, dirt, rocks, or something,
and dump on the ground. A day's
work like this would do practically
all the filling-in necessary. The
Good Liver
Remedy Free
When you suffer from any form of
indigestion it is always well to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have a bloaty feeling after eating, ii
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
| you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
! up the liver, to arouse the gastric
I juices so that they will aid in the di
I gestion of your food. A very good rem
edy for this, and one highly recom
mended by those who have used it, i.<
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which you
can obtain of any druggist at fifty
cents or one dollar a bottle. But if you
have any doubt about its merits, and
would prefer to try it first, send your
address to Dr. Caldwell and he will
promptly send you a free sample bot
tle.
Thousands of people first learned of
tills remarkable cure for stomach, liver
and bowel troubles through a free satn- j
pie. Mrs. Frank Lilly of Plainview, 111 , >
sent for one and it cured her and she i
is open In saying that she will never 1
take pills or strong cathartics again, i
as Syrup Pepsin acts so mildly. Mr.
W. L. Bryant, the Postmaster at Sardis.
Tenn., says he will never be without it
again. No sick person can afford to
ignore a remedy so highly endorsed as
this. It is good for all the family from
infancy to old age, because it is mild, j
free from griping and yet promptly ef- !
fectivc. Furthermore, results are ab- I
sniutely guaranteed or money will be
rt funded.
Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the j
purchase of his remedy ends his obli- j
ration. He has specialized in stomach, j
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free
of charge. All are welcome to write
him. Whether for the medical advice j
or the fine sample address him Dr. i
W B. Caldwell, 4U2 Caldwell building,
Monticello, 111.
Journal believes that if the mayor i
:ind city council would take the |
matter up and designate some day j
as “Park Day" and invite the peo-j
pies’ co-operation, they could build
a very creditable little park at
practically no expense to the town.
It would not only be a good invest
ment, but would be an excellent
lesson in the value of co-operation
a lesson that we need to learn !
in Newark.
Under the initiative and refer
endum, the people of Fulton, a
small town in Hempstead county,
are going to vote on the question
of having saloons. Hempstead is
a dry county, hut Fulton is a wet
community, in sentiment, and it
seems that the tigers are unable
to furnish booze in sufficient quan
tities to satisfy the thirsty citizens
of the town, hence the initiative
and referendum will be invoked.
The matter will probably end in
the supreme court, and then per
haps we will know whether we!
really have the initiative and |
referendum in Arkansas, or w heth
er w e have merely placed a club j
in the hands of the vicious with
permission t<» use it in retarding!
the state’s moral progress.
The prediction that the state
will have a deficit of a million dol
lar-' at the beginning of the next
legislature seems to be unfounded,
according to information furnish
ed The Journal by those in posi
tion to know. Taking into con
sideration the fact that there will
be a ten per cent increase in assess
ed valuations of property in the

state, the amount of revenue that
will be derived from the collections
from insurance taxes and the fees
from corporations, it is estimated
that there will be paid into the
j general revenue fund during the
next two years approximately $2,
275.000. The total appropriations
made by the legislature, to be paid
out of that fund, amount to $2,
265.000, leaving a balance of ten
thousand dollars.
Fiftv-nine years ago today the
town of Jacksonport was incorpor
ated. Then it was the only town
in this section of the state except
Batesville. Suppose it had early
learned the value of that spirit of
progressiveness that takes oppor
tunity by the forelock at every
turn of the road; and instead of
sitting still and waiting for things
to come to it, suppose it had rolled
up its sleeves and gone after the
things that help to make a town
grow and prosper. If the people
of Jacksonport had been a live,
progressive people, that would to
day be a city of 20,000 people, in
stead of a deserted village. In the
fate of our unfortunate neighbor
there is a valuable lesson for every
town that desires to grow and
prosper. _
Attorney (leneral Norwood
seems to have knocked the props
from under Newark as a city of
the second class. The only object
in view in having Newark raised
to a city of the second class was to
give the council more authority in
the matter of making public im
provements. Since the situation
has taken the present unfavorable
turn, The Journal suggests that
we organize one or more improve
ment districts and proceed to
build concrete walks and make
other needed public improve
ments. Other towns are doing
this successfully; why can’t New
ark? Let’s try it and see what
can be done. Next Monday night
is the time for the regular council
meeting. That would be a good
time to start something.
HORSE AM) I'll LECONVENTION
Dear brothers and sisters in con
vention assembled:
We, your committee appointed
to draft resolutions submitting a
prayer to our masters to be pub
lished in The Newark Journal,
therefore pray that our masters
organize a Humane Society for our
protection, and see that the follow
ing prayer is granted: That our
masters feed,water and care for us
when our days work is done by
providing a clean dry bed and a
stall wide enough for us to lie
down in in comfort. Talk gently
to us; your voice often means more
than the reins. Pet us sometimes;
we will serve you more gladly and
we will learn to love you. Do not
jerk the reins. Do not whip us
when going up a hill. Never beat
or strike us when we do not un
derstand what you want us to do.
Watch us. and if we fail to do your
bidding, see if something is not
wrong with the harness or our
feet, and please do not take away
our defense that Hod has given us
against the (lies by cutting off our
foretop and mane and tail. When
we have served you faithful and
our strength is gone, do not turn
us out on the commons to starve
or freeze, or sell us to some cruel
owner to be slowly tortued or
starved to death. Take our life in
a kinder way, and your (lod will
reward you here and hereafter.
Do not consider up irreverent if
we ask this in the name of one
who was born in a stable.

HE TOOK THE HINT
A farmer had a dream. He
dreamed that he raised four thou
sand bushels of corn and that he
was happy over the fact. Then he
dreamed that he sold it for $1 a
bushel, and his happiness wasstill
greater. Hut he dreamed that he
sold it to four thousand different
people, a bushel to each one, and
that no one had paid him and he
was sad. When he awoke it was
broad daylight, and leaping out of
bed he exclaimed to bis wife:
“Bt (< a, 1 hav e a solemn warning
and 1 know the meaning of it. 1
am going right off to town and
pay The Journal that dollar I owe
tor the paper.
