Its impossible to move even a

Don’t forget to vote for Billy
Oldfield next Tuesday
The calamity howler doubtless
feels lonesome these days.
The farmer who has a surplus
of hogs, cattle and young mules to
sell now is in position to have a
fat bank account.
The Journal never did have a
great deal of respect for the man
who scornfully jeers at another
man’s religions belief.
The Law and the Tiger are hav
ing a bout in the Memphis courts,
aud the TigeV is about to prove
himself greater than the Law.
There is no place in the world
where farming, judiciously and
properly done, will pay better
than light here in Independence
county. ___________
The Sharp County Record says:
“It’s a good thing to be honest,
but it doesn’t pay to tell every
body about your honesty. Just
live it; that will do.”
There was never a time in the
history of the country when things
were so favorable for the farmer
as right now. Everything he
grows is selling at good prices.
There is no more important
matter before the people of out
county today than the good roads
problem. Rut it seems to be a
Herculean task to get the people
to take hold of it.
If you want a home where you
can enjoy the blessings of good
health, pure water, a mild climate,
and many other advantages which
tend to make life pleasant, come
to Independence county.
The Newport Democrat says
the Democratic party is absolutely
nothing in Jackson county. That’s
a nice compliment to the organ
ization of which the Democrat
poses as the head and brains.
Congressman \V. A. Oldfield
has been an efficient servant of the
people during his first term in
eongress. The least we can do in
return is to show our appreciation
by giveing him a large vote next
Tuesday.
Its no.v County Clerk T. M.
j
Waldrip, County Judge A. J.
Craig, Sheriir \V. A. Kike and 1
Collector N. E. DeCamp, the new j
officers having been sworn in Mon
day. They are all good, honest,
conscientious men and will serve
the people well.
Senator Davis has returned
from Tennessee where he made a
number of speeches for Bob Tay
lor. If his speeches for Taylor
prove as great a boomerang as
those he made for Kirby a few
years ago, its well that Bob held
on to the senatorial toga.
Business is pretty good in New
ark, thank you. The farmers
seem pretty well pleased with the
prices they are getting for their
Cotton, cotton seed, com and oth
er product.-, and the merchants
all say they are doing a better
business than they ever did in the
history of the town.
Some time ago there was finite
a healthy good roads sentiment in
the county, but from the attend
ance at the Goods Roads Rally at
Batesville Saturday one would
think the good roads sentiment is
on the wane. What are we going
to do about it' l)o the people of
Independence county really want
good roads, or are they just “play
ing like” they do
Col. Ed P. Crow, editor of the
Dexter, (Mo.) Statesman, who
claims to have formerly been
eligible to membership in the
Amalgamated Consumers of Con
versation Water, says in a recent
issue of his paper: “We have
been on the liquor side of the
fence and found no seat softer j
S than a pessimistic cactus plant,1
and became tired of calling in!
doctors, calomel and bromides to
“comeback” on. This seat on
the water wagon beats any old
j fuzzy cactus ever grown.”
No town in Arkansas or any
I other place for that matter, can
expect to thrive and prosper with
out the concentrated effort of its
citizens and the judicious expendi
ture of money. The towns of our
state today that are prosperous
are the ones that have donated
liberally to enterprises which em
ploy labor. Thus it is and al
ways will be that the liberal and
broad-gauged town will thrive
while the light fisted ones are
struggling for the neet sitirs of
jlife. It is within the power of
every town to increase its popu
lation and commercial prestige.
; With which class do you desire
Newark to be rated { Do .you
wish it to go out to the world that
Newark lacks the energy and en
terprise necessary to protect her
own interests!! It takes a wide
awake, hustling, enteprising peo
ple these'days to build a good
town. Arp we doing as much as
we can in Newark to increase the
population and commercial pres
tige of the town' If not, why
not! _
J. R. Taylor of the Paragould
Soliphone and R. H. Waddell, for
merly of Batesviile, have leased
the Wynne Progress, and Mr.
Waddell will assume the manage
ment of the Wynne paper. Bob
is an all-round good fellow and a
good newspaper man, and his
many friends are glad to note his
advancement in the newspaper
held. The Journal wishes him all
kinds of success.
John T. Hall, editor of the
Salem Sun, who is running for
congress against Billy Oldlield, is
a bully good fellow—level-headed,
progressive, original and a booster
for Arkansas —and we hate to see
him slaughtered. But its useless
for a man to butt against the in
evitable, and Hall, of course, only
expects defeat. He will accept it
philosophically und go back to his
sanctum and grind out more ideus
to jolt,the Democratic editors.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
When Cleopatra, gay old girl,
Got gay one night and drank a pearl
All frugal folk cried out for shame —
But marveled at her just the same;
And she was right—and she was wise,
To thus get in and advertise.
—Wallace Irwin.
When old Dock Cook swore on his soul
That he had landed at the pole
He nature-faked both north and south,
And had them foaming at the mouth,
And yet, whatever Dock may be,
He got the money, didn’t he?
—Grantland Rice.
And there’s the baby in its bed,
When half the hours of night are sped,
And it opines it wants a drink,
It does no good to lie and think,
It wakes the household with its cries,
And learns it pays to advertise.
—Judd Montimer Lewis.
And there’s John D. of Standard Oil,
His dealings sometimes make us boil;
He whip-sawed and browbeat the court,
And all we did was rear and snort,
His “uplift” is to advertise,
And now we laud him to the skies.
—Russell T. Edwards.
And there’s old Andrew Carnegie—
Forsooth a knowing wight is he,
Who thinks the people ought to read,
When maybe what they really need,
; Is bread, not lib’ries by the score,
With Andy’s name above the door.
| —Paul Cook.
; When girls want jobs in vaudeville,
; They cause some jealous guy to kill
• A rival, or to lose a throne
To win the love that they have shown.
They play their game with laughing eyes;
; They know it pays to advertise.
; —Lon. L. Chapman.
Some years ago Newark found
■ It did not pay to idly sit around,
The Journal and the citizens gave a shout,
Kicked blind tigers and whiskey out, ,
Now with other queenly cities vies —
Of course it pays to advertise.

Rheumatic
Pains
“My mother is a great suf
ferer from rheumatism, and Dr.
Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills is tlic only
remedy that relieves her.”
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri
tation which prevents sleep be
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and. if
it does not benefit he will return
your moticy.
