Make up your mind that you are

The next President of tin- United
.States is certain to Ik- named Rill, and
the next vice president will he John or

in the Billies, Johnnies and Jimmies
for the next few years.
It is the person rather than the occu
pation that adds dignity to labor.
There are those who can l>eautify the
most menial occupation or service and
th re are others who can degrade the
most honorable calling.
The chances for a Democratic vic
tory this fall are better than they have

bled up everything in sight, rode the
oil Democratic mule over into the
bushes and briers of oblivion and
abandoned him. crippled, hobbled and
without feed or water.
The St. Louis Republic was one
hundred years old !a>t Sunday, and
it celebrated the event by issuing an
edition of li>2 pages. Thq edition was
the greatest in the history of the paper,
ami both in si/e and in the material it
contained the publication was a credit
to St. Louis and the publishers. One
of the interesting features of the
edition was uti exact reproduction of
the issue of the paper of July 2b, Isos,

There should he no factions in New

The man who never puts any money
in the hank will never lie able to draw
any out; and the man who never puts
any diligent thought and effort into
his work, no matter what his vocation
may be, will never be able to get any
thing out of his life but a mere exis

The Newport Democrat says most of
the devilment in Newport is done by
strangers. To be sure. Who ever
j heard of a Newport man doing wrong.

i those who go all the gaits that a citi

In a small town like this the vice of
rash judgment is altogether too com
mon. Where people know nearly all
their fellow citizens there are some
who are so ungracious and so un
Christian as to attribute an evil mo
tive when the actions are prompted by
the lies! of motives, and they are rath
er disposed to relish a rumor that re
flects against a neighbor. Kvery body
commits indiscretions, either wilfully
or through ignorance or weakness; but
harsh criticism and rash judgments do
not help the olTender. but shoves him
down. The golden rule should he ap
plied in such cases.

mere are many times When the
purse strings are unwisely tighten
ed when there :s some proposi
tion of a public nature calling for eon- '
tributions. Men will talk of their *
past contribution-., of the failure of ■
this and the other project, and will re- 1
fuse to lend assistance to proposed en- f
terprises simply because they think it
will not bring money to their pockets. *
There are some of these men to be 1
found in every community. ju»t as '
there are small potatoes in every hill. '
l‘»ut when this condition becomes gen- 1
eral, when men to whom the communi- 1
ty has a right to look for a slight re
turn for the lienetits and the prosperity 1
which they enjoy, refuse thus to dis
charge one of their plainest duties,
and when the number of such men be
comes so great as • > threaten the suc
cess of movements in the puhlid^n

a species o: dry rot. which, if not
sjHjcdily removed, will land the com
munity in the cor.'.mercial graveyard.
COMMON SENSE
One of the most uncommon things
in the world is what we call common
sense. Any day in the week you can
wo out and throw a brick and hit fifty
men of yenivis where you can strike
one who has real wood hard sense. ^ et
it is hv long odds the most precious
gift that can be vouchsafed a human
being. [n success it mercifully pre
serves him from making a fool of him
self, and in misfortune it keeps him
from tiie coward’s device of suicide.
He knows there i> always a chance for
the man who gets put and turns up
something rather than wait for some
thing to turn up.
And. as an exchange says, the man of
common sense is never unduly pulled
up with pride or conceit. He never
forgets that there are others. He takes
tiie good things of life in reason
Humbugs do not humbug him, or
gold brick people sell him ther wares,
liecause he knows we never get some
thing for nothing Solemn airs do
impose on him. He never runs after
the fads of the moment. Prejudice
does not war]) his judgment. He never
poses for the benefit of the world. If
sorrows come to him he does not
picturesquely bemoan himself, and re
pine at the inevitable. In the days
of prosperity lie goes slowly, for he
knows that riches have wings that are
used in Hying away from tis. To every
difficulty of life he brings common
sense and finds it offers a solution. It
prevents him wasting tears over the
spilt milk that can never be recalled:
in short, it is the quality which en
ables a man to line it]' and accept the
situation, whatever it is. without kick
ing. _
WOULD CUT OUT MIDDLEMAN
Little Rock, .July 11. Several promi
nent members of the Arkansas Farm
ers' Union met in Little Rock last
night to discuss plans of interest to
the union warehouses and gins of Ar
kasas. J. 11. Lewis, president of the
Arkansas Union, presided. The plans
for systematizing the union ware
house business in Arkansas were dis
cussed at length. It was suggested that
Memphis be made a clearing-house
for union cotton of Mississippi, Texas
and Arkansas, and that Little Rock
lie made a sub-clearing-house for Ar
kansas alone and that the union cot
ton be handled from the local ware
houses throughout the state to the
central warehouse in Little Rock, from
the warehouse to Memphis, and from
that point to the English spinners 01
other purchasers.
No official action was taken on trie
proposition until the meeting of the
state union a few weeks hence. If the
plans suggested are adopted it will do
away entirely with what L known as
the middleman in the sale and dis
position of cotton. The members
present at the meeting declared in
favor of union cotton bagging, in
place of jute bagging, claiming that
the former was much cheaper and
would answer every purpose.

WHAT COURTESY DOES
You may say what you please, hut
it is the town that offers the most in
J ducements socially and in a business
way that gets and holds the people.
Tt does not take long for the public* to
learn whether a town is hospitable or
not. and if the impression once gets
abroad that sin- is “chinchy" it would
take the life time of an average citizen
to clear away that impression. \Ye
all know what kind of an effect idivid
eal hospitality and courtesy will have
upon people who are strangers in other
places. The same rule works every
where. When the home-seeker arrives
in a town on a prospecting tour, lie
always notices the kind of welcome he
receives and the information he is
glad);, given. The first impression
often causes him to decide whether he
will locate there or go elsewhere to
seek a home.
