AN’ ill somebody please shake that
brush heap over there? We be
leive tlie ground hog has forgotten
to come out.
The people would have mor<
confidence in these legislative in
vestigations if there wasn’t s<
much politics in them.
The Sharp County Record think
because Bryan criticises Clevelanc
through the Commoner that he i
"taking too much authority for i
man to whom so little has beei
given.” But Coger, the consist
ent cuss, never turns out an issut
of the Record without some criti
• cism of Bryan, and the only au
J thority the democratic party cvei
J conferred on Coger was to elec
him temporary secretary of tin
Dry Fork Democratic Club, com
posed of fourteen one-gallis hill
billies. But, of course, the mai
Avho has twice been nominated foi
President wouldn’t dare to com
pare his authority with Coger’s.
The Journal has always been
friendly toward Senator llinkh
and, while we indorse the positioi
he has taken on many question
before the legislature, we musi
say that, in our judgment, he madt
a mistake when he introduced am

fiwn $1,<5U0 tor^S.ldb per year.
We venture the assertion thai
there has never been a man elected
county clerk who was making
more than $50 a month prior to lib
election. The clerk’s salary befon
this bill went into effect amounted
to $150 a month, and he pays about
$50 of that to his deputy, who gen
erally does most of the work, thu
leaving the clerk a net salary ol
$100. We think this a sufficient
salary, and, in fact, we have nevei
heard of the clerk kicking for i
raise. The clerk does not can
more than $100 a month and it
WEEDS
Consumption is a humar
weed flourishing best in weal
lungs. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes im
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as yoi
would weak land and th(
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer i:
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt porl
is good too, but it is very hare
to digest
The time to treat consump
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself
Others see it, you won’t.
Don’t wait until you can’i
deceive yourself any longer
Begin with the first thoughl
to take Scott’s Emulsion. I:
it isn’t really consumption sc
much the better; you will soor
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump
tion you can’t expect to b<
cured at once, but if you wil
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all yoi
can, that’s the treatment ant
that’s the best treatment.
We will send vo\

! seems to ns as a wanton waste o!
I the people’s money to raise the
J elerk's salary $25 a month when
j there is absolutely no need or tle
J mand for it.
Among the strong arguments
presented by the Arkansas Demo
crat in favor of its pet measure,
the newspaper bill, passed by the
I legislature, we note that it pays
1 the measure a high tribute ns an
educational measure and makes the
strong point that the country press
should cease its denunciation of
this outrage and join the good
Democrat in a song of praise to
those who passed the bill over t he
governor’s veto. The Democrat
thinks the country papers will
ultimately reap a rieh harvest and
have to buy a larger subscription
book to accommodate the great in
crease of subscriptions brought
about by this measure. There is
no doubt but that the sending out
of 30 to 40 copies of the Little
Rock dailies for a couple of months
once every two years into a county
containing 20,0(H) people will have
a wonderful effect in educating
the people to read, as the Demo
crat claims, and we can't under
j stand why the Democrat didn’t
J have some of its trusted lieuten
ants to amend the measure so as U
make the country press pay tin
i expense of sending out these pa
[ pers, instead of making the state
i pay it. The country papers, ac
t cording to the Democrat, will real
the benefits of the measure, and
. of course, they ought to pay tlu
> freight. But the Democrat de
. rives no benefit from the measure
. and it is only from a feeling o;
• profound sympathy for the coun
try press that it consents from tlu
. depths of its great, honest hear
for the state to pay this expense
Verily, the Deunocrat is a kind
hearted and generous old sister.
! Why the Lost Boy Came Home
Enon, Tex., March 21, 1903
Editor Newark Journal.
Upshur county has lost a notec
citizen; but, as the professor said
it is Arkansas’ gain. He left 1 ik<
many others of his kind, and for
! got to attend to some matters thu
i honest men usually settle befor
leaving a community. His land
lord was also very mad when li
learned that the professor wa
gone. Besides other matters tha
should have been settled, the pro
I fessor dug a well for his landlord
He had the well about two-third
done when he left, and the landlon
happened around the next day t
see how he was getting along wit
it. He told me the well was s
crooked the bucket would fall on
of it. 1 told him the professor wa
cross-eyed, and he said if he ha*
known that he wouldn’t have le
him dug it.
Say, Mr. Editor, did you lean
how he lost his school ? 1 am satis
tied he has not told any one, so
; will tell you how it wn«.
I had gone over one morning tc
take his family some few thing
they needed to eat, and while
was there a man rode up to tin
gate. 1 learned afterwards that In
( was one of the school trustees
, The man got down and came ii
. and the professor hunted arounc
, and got him a box to sit down on
the professor and 1 were sitting oi
j two stumps in front of the door ii
| the sunshine, as he didn’t have ani
II wood to burn. We had been talk
iug over old times and after th<
man had sat down I said to th
professor, “Well, old chum, hov
would you like to be back in oh
I Arkansaw this morning to g<
hunting?”
“Is there much game bacl
there?” asked the director.
“Well, yes, I should say then
is." replied the professor.
1 asked the professor to tell tin
gentleman about some of his hunt
• ing trips.
t
\\ ell, Mr. Director, just toj£iv<
I to give you an idea of the man.
happy day* I have spent in dea
old Arkinsaw," began the profes
sor, a* ho brightened up. “1*11 tel
I | you what I done one morning, am
( it wasn’t a good morniug for gam
either. 1 took old Betsy and wen
out one Christinas eve morning t<
k.ll a turkey for Christmas. I wen
’ down bark of the new-ground ain
| gave a yelp or two and, sir, th
noise the turkeys made a flyinj
through the air went like a younj
i cyclone. A lot of 'em lit on a big
long, straight log not fur from m
and I squarrod myself with th
! log, took aim and tired. Well
1 sir, after a few had flew off I wen
( up and commenced to count ’em
1 had counted IS gobiers and) nin
■ hens that—” /
“My gracious,” interrupti/d th
director, “that’s a lot of turkeys
to kill with one bullet.”
“Go ahead, professor,” said I,
“that's nothing for Arkansas.”
“No, sir,” said the professor,
“and, as I was a sayin, I had
counted 18 goblers and 0 hens
when I happened to look up and I
seed where that ball had struck a
sycamore tree, and by gosh, there
was something a running out of
the hole. 1 dropped my countin’
and run to see what it was and
dura my hide if wasn’t honey. 1
stuck my finger in the hole and
reached down to get a stick to put
in the hole and got a rabbit by the
leg. I slung it down to kill it and
it struck in a bunch of quails and
killed of ’em. 1 cut down the
tree and the honey covered the
ground so deep I had to climb a
saplin’ and the squirrels ran out
of the hollow limbs of that tree
ter three days and nights. ] start
ed home with all the turkeys I
could tote, and a drove of wild
! ducks started to fly over me. I
shot into ’em and they fell so thick
hind fast they like to smothered me
|to death.”
Here the professor paused and
' looked at me and I could see the
| tears in his eyes as he said, “And
my poor old dorg is under them
ducks yet.”
The director looked at me and
then at the professor, and after a
j bit he said, “Well, 1 guess we’ll
| discontinue the school; 1 don't
j think there is any use to continue
! it any longer.”
Now, Mr. Editor, that's how he
| lost his school and why he had to
leave here, and I know he blames
|me for it. But I couldn't help it.
We all chipped in and made up
' I money enough to send the unfor
tunate boy back home to his folks
where the people all know him. I
hope the people there will take care
of him. Your friend,

A HEALTH POLICY
The system is, from natural
causes, debilitated or run-down
both in the spring and fall. The
seasons’ changes are always a hut
on the human organism. The
blood becomes impure in the
spring, and vitality lags In the fall.
A little care, a little assistance,
and nature will do the rest, as it is
always trying to maintain health.
Frequently the weakest organ w ill
show the most disorder, and this
often leads to wrong treatment.
For the debilitated conditions
of spring or full, or any other
time, for that matter, the right
thing to do is to build up the
whole system. It is not your stom
ach, or liver, or nerves alone that
cause the trouble; you are weak
ened all over and must have re
newed strength and vitality. These
ni*xnw you cannot get so
quickly or surely or
safely as by using

Judge Arnold Celebrates
His 62nd Anniversary.
A largo number of relatives and
friends assembled at the home of
Judge and Mrs. M. L Arnold on
Thursday, the 19th, to celebrate
Mr. Arnold’s 62nd birthday.
The guests were entertained
with true Southern hospitality and
that they thoroughly enjoyed the
occasion goes without saying.
Judging from the bountiful feast
spread lie fore those who gathered
at that hospitable home there is no
likelihood of its happy and con
tented occupants ever going “over
the hill to the poor house.”
Mr. Arnold is yet spared in good
health and prosperous circum
stances, to see his children and his
children's children, and while he
and his good wife have rejoiced
together over the cradle and wept
together over the grave, we are
glad to know that they yet have
most of their children with them,
the fairest flowers of this glad
festival.
We hope there are many happy
years in store for both Mr. Arnold
and his estimable wife, although
he is entering upon the youth of
old age, and we have no desire to
hide from him the fact that his sun
is turning to the west. But Mr.
Arnold can look back over a life
well spent; a life of usefulness
alike to himself, his country and
his fellow man. We feel safe in
saying that there is not a man in
the county more honored, loved
and respected by those who kno w
him best than is Judge Arnold.
Loved because of his uniform kind
ness to friend and fellow man;
honored because of his honorable
and upright career as a true
gentleman of distict character and
bearing, and respected because of
the high and lofty sentiments of
patriotism that beats within this
breast of a genuine Southern pa
triot.
May he and his good wife and
many friends be spared to cele
j brate many more happy birthdays

Of Smoking Affected
My Heart
So I Had To Sit Up
To Breathe.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
Cured Me.
There is nothing that has a more deleter
ious effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves
than the excessise use of tobacco. Pain ami
tenderness around the heart, an oppressive
fce.ing in the chest, choking sensation in the
throat, discomfort from sic* ping on the le t
side and smothering spells at night when the
J sufferer has to >it up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms of a weak heart.
Smokers who eel these symptoms and who
do not understand their meaning should be
warned in time, by the following cxper.ence:
“1 was greatly troubled with an affection
of the heart, due 1 think to excessive smoking.
On writing to you for advice I w as directed
