All towns seem to have a few chronic
loafers, and we have often wondered
how some people manage to live with
out working.
The depositors who promptly re
ceived their deposits from that defunct
Oklahoma bank are doubtless pre
pared to offer some convincing proofs
that the guarantee of bank deposits is
a most desirable thing.
The negro always comes to the front
in some manner in Republican con
ventions. A negro presided over the
national convention at Chicago last
week for three quarters of an hour
t while nominations for vice president
were being made.
The Journal notes with sincere re
gret that E. II. Williamson, who has
been secretary of the local school
hoard for a number of years, has
given notice that he will resign from
v the board at its regular meeting to la
held tomorrow. Mr. Williamson lias
-seen fifteen years of continuous service
as school director and is known
throughout the county as one <>f the
best and most practical directors in
the county. •He has served the New
ark special district continuously since
its organization. He was a member
of the hoard when the present build
ing was erected, and while there have
been and are now other good men on
the hoard, it can truthfully he said of
Mr. Williamson, without disparage
ment to any one. that lit- has done
more for the advancement and up- i
building of the school than any man

who has served on the board since the
organization of the special district.
The Journal has kept pretty closely
in touch with school matters and knows
whereof we speak. His experience in
school matters makes him a valuable
member of the board and the school
sustains an irreparable loss when he
resigns from the board.
Did you ever think of the great debt
you owe to the churches? There are
citizens who feel that all they give to
churches is charity. Vet there are no
better investments; and you owe so
much to them that you should recognize
the debt, and pay it with unstinting
hand. The minister of the Gos|x*l
should not he regarded as an object of
charity. He is your frithful worker,
and gives more than he receives.
What would your home be worth if
there were no churches in the land?
There is a growing sentiment in
favor of temperance. The drinking
man is not in demand. His presnce
is objected t<>. His work is distrusted.
Great business concerns refuse em
ployment to men who drink. Hail
roads discharge them because there is
too much a t sta lje to permit their pres
ence. Human life is worth too much
to permit a drunken man to cause a
wreck. Each man owes to his occu
pation the best there is in him: and he
cannot have a clear head and a firm
hand if his brain be influenced by
drink, or his nerves he weakened by
it.
In addition to the substantial sums
of money brought into circulation at
.Tudsonia this season by the shipment
of strawberries, the farmers around
there have shipped fifteen carloads of
Irish potatoes and several cars of to
matoes. These shipments were made
through the Growers Association and
good prices were realized, the potatoes
selling at ninety-six cents per bushel.
There is no panic at .Judsonia: the
people are prosperous and contented,
just as the people of this community
would he if they would organize am:
get into the fruit, vegetable and berry
business.
Thyre is no more favorable loeatioi
in the entire South for fruit, berry am
vegetable growing than right arount
Newark, and its introduction wouli
make our people prosperous and mak
this one of the most desirable and in
citing communities in the state. Bu
we may go on and on, under presen
methods and conditions, and the com
tnunity will be no better off. financial
ly, socially nor otherwise, fifty year;
from today than it is today. The coin
■inunity that makes no progress is no
a ver\ desirable place to live in, am
when the spirit of progress begins t<
decay the more progressive people
usually seek a more progressive ant
congenial location, and thus condition;
go from bad to worse. A town or com
munity is just what the people make it
no more nor no less, and it> up to tin
people of this community to eithei
wake up and make use oftheiropportu
nities, or continue to emulate Rip Var
Winkle, to the great detriment of their
own interests and the interests of then
children. What are you going to do
abqpt it? _

BABY HOLCOMBE
Floyd Bevens Holcombe was born
May 31, died June 15, ibos. We loved
Floyd dearly} but when the darling of
our home has been laid beneath the
clay we can only look by faith for a
brighter, happier day when we can
again clasp hands no more grief to
know, and together sweetly sing
around the blessed Savior's throne.
We know that if we live faithful that
day will come. Floyd was a sweet
little angel and we know it was Jesus
who called him from our side and now
in glory he is free. His mother died
when he was seven days old. but she
gave the writer her babe and she was
a mother to him. But He who doeth
all things we lit deemed it best to take
him. It is another jewel in heaven
there to await the coming of those who
watched over him so faithfully.
