The contract for two drain age canal.>
in Greene county were let a Paragoult
Friday, one of which will cost $.'18.00<
and the other $47,000. Work will be
gin on them in a few days and it h
estimated that the two canals will re
claim 40,ooo acres of land that is now
unlit for cultivation. The Journal is
triad to see the drainage movement
assuming1 practical proportions in Ar
kansas. and hopes the day is not far
distant when we shall see a drainage
canal eastward from Newark into
Black river. It would In* worth
thousands of dollars to the country.
It is estimated that the state com
mon school fund to l>e apportioned to
the public schools of the various coun
ties this year will reach a million
• dollars or about tli for each child in
the state. Money paid for the main
tenance of schools is money well spent,
and the only matter for regret is that
the fund is not three millions instead
of one.
Gov. .1. S. Little has Iteen removed
from his home in Greenwood to a pri
vate hospital where he will Ik* treated
for a month or two. The name of the
hospital is withheld from the public,
in order that the governor may have
perfect privacy there. His physicians
announce that the governor’s general
health is good and improving, but he
is still very nervous.
Its of little use for the local editor
to waste his lungs and sprain his spine
in trying to boom a town when the cit
izens all stand around with their hands
in their pockets and indifferently wait
for something to turn up. If the busi
ness men do not put their shoulders to
the wheel and do a little boosting it is
useless for the editor to try and boom
things. He can write “boom” articles
till he gets bald headed, but if the citi
zens themselves do not take hold and
push, the town will forever stick in the
mud. Of what use is it for the local
paper to suggest improvements and
new enterprises if the suggestions are
never acted upon? One man cannot
boom a town. It requires the concerted
action of the citizens. When one man
shoulders a town and attempts to carry
it, there are always a lot of cranky
kickers ready to jump on top of the
load. Unity of action is what it re
quires to accomplish anything for the
„ good of the town.
Say. do you know the kind of fellow
who's just to the world’s liking? The
kind the world can't lose? The kind
that folks enthuse over and take oft
r their hats to? Why its the man-who
does. He's the fellow! Not the fellow
whose grandpa got there: not the fel
low who would if he could: not the
gentleman who's going to some day:
I but the man-who-does, now, today.
i No sitting around waiting, about him:
I no expecting something to happen: no
looking for things to turn up. No, he
! calls the turn and turns 'em up: he
t takes off his coat and doesn’t care if
t : he sturts a little a sweat: he keeps the
. i procession humping to keep up with
(I him; he is hustle from his feet up and
| from his head down: he is not only in
the push, but he is part of the push,
and the way he makes things come and
business hum is a caution: the way
! the world takes that fellow up and is
good to him makes your heart glad:
he’s alright, he is: he greases the
wheels of progress and keeps the world
spinning round.

The purpose this institution is to
give the blind children such training
as will enable them to become self-sup
porting, relf-respeeting, independent
citizens.
As the public schools are free to the
seeing children, so is this school free
to the blind. There is no charge for
tuition, treatment or board. The only
necessary expense is for clothing and
railroad fare, and even these are paid
hy the state for those who are not aide
to pay them for themselves.
The benefits of this institution are
not only for the totally blind, but for
those whose eye-sight is >o defective
that they are not able to attend a see
ing school. The legal aye limit is
from six to twenty-six years.
Pupils who are eligible to tins In
stitution aretauyht the literary branch
es included in our public school
courses. Every pupil who shows music
al ability is given a thou rough train
ing in instrumental and vocal music.
Besides this the girls are taught sew
ing knitting, and other handiwork that
equip them for lives of usefulness in
their homes, and the hoys are taught
some trade by which they may become
self-supporting.
The school is thoroughly equipped
with all the necessary appliances. The
children are well cared for and pro
vided for: and every precaution is
taken to safeguard their health, and
to give them the best mental, moral
and physical training.
There are many blind children in
our state whose parents do not know
of the advantages provided for them
here. We are making every effort to
reach these pupils and appeal to every
citizen who knows of such children, to
help us to locate them. Please send
us the name, age, parent's name and
post office address of any blind or
