One rear, in advance. id.Co
“doubt.”
Isit true there's a laud that no eye hath seen
A place where we're happy as wheninudreum,
A place where the angels around a white throne
Are .singing and calling this pure place their
home y
Oh Say! Is it true ir we toil on in tears
We shall reach this sweet land in some future
years.
Where sorrow nor sighing are never more
heard.
Where we all spend eternity with Jesus our
Lord':
And tell me my friends who in this believe.
Shall we meet again times who for long we
have grieved;
Shall we know them, and love them as in past
Ur is this sweet rapture too pleasant to last':
Vnd toll me if we don't believe in His word,
f we go on in sin never thinking of Uod
o ever reading His bible or praising His name,
•Vill we go on to heaven rejoicing the same':
Ah. your answer to this I know I can guess.
Tis "Oh doubling heart which throbs in thy
breast;
Look upward to Jesus who died on the tree
or salvation of souls such as you and as me.”
Oh asi. forgiveness for all your past sins.
And tell Him you'll serve Him’till death be the
end:
And praise Him forever yoiu friends help pre
pare.
And all thy dear loved ones thy mansion may
share.”
Oh. this is the answer you give o'er and o'er.
Till I hear it's coho from shore unto shore,—
Wherever I go my spirit is grieved.
Because my soul answers "1 can not believe.”
Oh teach me to know to confess and to love
The goodness of Uod and my Savior above.
May I only believe and confidingly rest
With his love in my heart and my head on his
breast.
One extreme follows another.
We can look for a cold winter
this year.
Lumber companies holding
deeds to timber, where the land
is held by another party, must
list the timber for taxation, inde
pendent of the land. This is the
opinion held by Attorney Gener
al Murphy.
And now comes forth Dr.
Koch the eminent discoverer,
and claims to have discovered
that the so-much-talked-of Bo
vine Tuberculosis that lias been
said to be transmitted to the peo
ple the world over by the use of
milk of diseased animals is all a
farce. As change is the order of
the day, what one age damns
its successors often deify and
vice-versa. What one investiga
tor discovers to be just the thing
another comes along and proves
the falacy of it. This world cer
tainly do move. And as the
Moor of Venice intimated, there’s
such a thing as knowing entirely
too much. During our short ca
reer we have always been fond
of milk and have never, that we
know of, extracted any tuberculo
sis fungi out of milk. It is amaz
ing how many pseudo-scientists
are always on the alert, looking
for some awful discovery with
which to frighten the poor, de
luded world. We thank Dr.
Koch for proving the falacy of
the milk distributing tuberculo
sis fungi.
OUH CHOICE.
While it is yet early, and while
the time for the people to decide
upon a successor to Jp^e^ for
the senate of the United States
is yet some months off, it seems
that the press of the state has
already started the campaign
ball rolling, even before the
avowed candidates have formally
started out to build up their poli
tical fences and Jay their respec
tive virtues before the people.
The efficacy and power of both
gentlemen is a recognized fact
both are possessed of the quali
ties requisite for true statesman
ship—and while we have nothing
to saj disparagingly of the gen
tleman who’s present term of of
tice expires in 1903 and who has
held office continually for the
past thirty years, we believe the
time is at hand that for the good
of the state and party a change
should be made and we believe
that ex-Governor James P.
1 Clarke is the man to take the
place.
We favor Clark because no
ring can own and no machine can
control. He is firm, courageous,
enthusiastic and wise. A man
: loved for his sound judgment and
conservative views. His patriot
ic devotion to the masses, his
; firmness to stand up for and de
! manding his rights are needed,
i We need new blood in the senate.
As time passes in its flight,
conditions change, new issues
arise and new men grow up
with them, and when possessed
of the highest physical and intel
lectual vigor should be called
upon to contend with them.
Change is the order of the day.
Jones has been in office long
enough and should take a rest
and give someone else a chance at
the “pie.”
The Jonesboro Enterprise
places a very low estimate upon
the supporters of James K.
Jones for re-election to the sen
ate. In connection with Clarke,
it says of the friends of Jones,
“they know if he gets in the sen
ate he will do something. ” Yes,
Clarke would do something.
Perhaps on some quite Sabbath
day he might choose to flourish
his pistol and spit in somebody’s
face as he did once during his
term as governor. Or he might
! try to induce the state of Arkan
sas to pay a job lot of fraudlent
bonds. Those who vote for
Clarke can do so with the assur
ance that he will do something.—
Augusta Vidette.
The supporters of James K.
Jones seem to rant quite a little
bit of Clarke’s pistol escapade
while to our minds it only shows
firmness of character, manhood
and a disposition to demand his
rights at all hazard. And he was
employed as attorney for a north
ern bank for whose interest he
faithfully labored. We wonder
what the editor of the Vidette
would do if following the pro
fession of law and a client wanted
their interest looked after. If
true to their calling they would
do just as Clarke did in the case
of the repudiation of the bonds.
What can the supporters of
Jones say in explanation of his
connection with the American
Cotton Company? Jones has at
| tempted to explain. He is a
stockholder in the company and
an officer in the organization, and
while it is not an effective trust
its expectations are that it will
be one ultimately. When it
reaches the point its promoters
desire it will have absolute con
trol of every pound of cotton
bought and sold in this country.
Clark if elected will surely make
himself felt and will no doubt “do
something” for the state of Ark
ansas.
A LITTLE SPIEL.
Clyde Scales of Memphis, who
has been visiting in our neigh
borhood for sometime past, Joe
Blackwell and Clyde Shelton of
Grays, paid this office a short
visit Monday afternoon. Clyde
is our friend proper, he having
I saved us from the loss of a driv
ing whip while attending services
at DeView one evening last week,
and for which Ave herewith thank
him. Right here we wish
to say a few words concerning j
some few beings with whom it i
is a fad to frequent meetings, j
with the express purpose of
creating a commotion and raising
hades with no other ideas and I
no thoughts but those inclined
towards evil. Their eye is al
ways on the alert for some smart,
dirty, Irish trick that can be ex
ercised on the innocent church
goer. He is possessed of an
unlimited amount of unadulter
ated gall, audacity, impudence
and nerve—a veritable eye for j
meanness. He ought to be os-1
tracized from society, being a |
menace to the welfare and good '
fellowship of a community. The 1
idea of a thing, posing as a man,!
who has nothing in the world
to do but to lay around in the :
dark, anti like the thief, when
the world is unconscious of his i
presence and at the same time 1
unwary of his actions, lie sallies
forth, swipes buggy whips or
cuts them into so many pieces,
cuts harness, takes the taps offof
the axle of the buggies, takes a
saddler and unsaddles him and
at the same time unhitching
some horse from a buggy and un
harnessing him and “swapping”
horses all unbeknowns to the
“seeker after salvation.
Is it any wonder to anyone,
when, after being filled with the
holy spirit in a meeting, and,
having been enraptured by the
logic and sublime thoughts set
forth by some divine, and who is
almost persuaded and who is
saying to himself “not tonight
but tomorrow night I shall sure
ly see God, is it any wonder that
upon finding some other man’s
horse hitched up to the vehicle
which is to carry him tohis hum
ble home where he can more
fully meditate upon the profound
thoughts and divine truths just
received, is it any wonder that
we as a people should momen
tarily lose our religion, banish
all thoughts of the Savior and
allow bad thoughts to enter our
minds and to supplant the
thoughts of the world eternal, to
say nothing of the expressions
with which some, who are not so
fully imbued with the 'spirit,
rent the air. We who are so
prone to sin.
vv mie u in>l our mea to cast
any shadow upon the good peo
ple of DeView, where this gang
seems to have its headquarters,
for it is but fair to state that they
are not to blame for this disrep
utable and nefarious business.
It is said the perpetrators do not
reside in the immediate vicinity
of DeView, but at the same time
it is a subject that needs airing.
We know that the people of De
View have done all they could,
all in their power to suppress
this evil. We are aware of the
fact that a constable or deputy
sheriff was stationed there to lay
for the intruder and if possible
to apprehend the miscreant and
bring him to justice, but his at
tempts were futile. We know
that the people of DeView have
always felt grieved over the
abominable, detestably vile ac
tions of these cockney roosters.
Time and again have we been
requested to hold them up to the
scorn of the people and time and
again have we given it up as a
bad job. Our expressions on
this subject come from the
heart, we having had a bran new
second-handed whip cut in two
somewhere near the center, but
like the preacher with the hat,
we feel thankful that the mutton
headed nonenity placed the butt
end back in the receptacle as a
kind of trophy and for which we
wish to thank his satanic-ape.
While we do not know the
doers of the “jokes,” as these
buffoons no doubt style them,
neither do we care to know such
feather-weight goslings. While
we have no ill feeling towards
them, yet we can’t see for the
life of us, why these simpletons,
who don’t seem to know the way
their time should be occupied,
don’t stay at home and nurse the
baby, drive the calves and hogs
out of the lot, or better still, tell
their mothers to put them to bed. i
They are indeed penny-wise.
While wo do not want to offend
these would-be damphools, yet
duty calls for a reprimand, and j
we hope that this little article i
will in a feeble way show the!
parties engaged in this tomfool-!
ery what the people think ofsuch
carryings-on and that it may
cause them to see themselves as
others see them.
How much better would it be
if these tadpoles would enter the
church and like gentlemen listen
to the words enunciated by the
pastor and take heed to his coun
sel. Boys, if you can’t be good,
be as good as you can; give up
your buffoonery and become an '
ornament to society; be a man.
Another thing, while this prac
tice is not only dangerous, it is
it the same time a grievious of
’enso, and if the hand of the law
should get a clutch on you “it 1
vould be all off with the Big !
swede.” I
