FR1! >AV, AUGUST 28, 1907
The treasurer of Sharp county
is reported some two thousand
dollar- short, as the result of at
tempts to speculate with the coun
ty’s money.
There is talk of an extra session
of the legislature being called tn
relieve the state capitol situation
—and incidentally relieve to state
treasury of about $1,200 a day.
Conway is about to make a fail
ure in raising the funds pledged
to secure the state normal school,
which is another proof that1 it is
much easier to promise than it is
to pay.
It is estimated tli^t 21,000,000
acres are available for rice grow
ing in Louisana and Texas, and
the value of such a crop would be
-$400,000,000. This would make
the rice crop fifth in point of value
among: the cerals of this country.
We note from the Guard that
eleven fines were assessed in the
mayor’s court at Batesville Mon
day afternoon for disorderly con
duct. That’s Koing Newark more
than one better. The worst we
ever done here was about six in
one day, and Newark was once
considered the moral sink-hole of
the county.
The payment of the tine, forfeit
lire and costs in his recent trial at
Perry ville, in which Senator Gross
was convicted of legislative bood
iing and fined $10, seems to be
worrying the senator and his
friends considerably. The total
amount of the fine, forfeiture and
costs is something like two thous
and dollars. Its our opinion that
the senator ought to be thankful
he escaped the prison.
BRAKEMAN KILLED
H. G. Frazier, a brakeman who
has been running on a passenger
train on the White River road be
tween Newport and Joblin, for the
last six months, was killed at
Carthage Friday night, being
caught between two cars wlvile
coupling and fatally injured. He
was about ‘24 years old and had a
wife and child. His home was at
Carthage.
■ | THE PASTOR’S COLUMN j
❖ Conducted by Rev. Ju. P. Jernlican ln
| the Interest All That Is Good j*
) A revival of real, old fashionec
5 Bible religion, such as has beer
held at Newark and Sulphur Kocli
in the last six weeks, is a voyage
of discovery, a revelation and an
> inspiration. A revival that tills the
heart, head and hands, verily, is
■ one of the real scriptural kind.
The heart tilled with love to God,
1 love to man, love for home, love
for all that is good, noble and
pure. A love that eliminates hate,
malice, jealousy, envy, strife back
biting, contentions over petty
issues, makes friends of enemies,
and distributes good will!, peace
and joy, is certainly of (rod and
His smile will rest on it, and His
blessing crown it with honor and
glory.
The head tilled with thoughts of
God, his goodness constant mercy,
loving care over His creations by
day and by night; God in the place
of business, the store, barber
shop, butcher shop, bank: in short,
jail kind of vocations where man
lean carry his religion and keep it;
I God is then to be there in love,
peace and joy to the man who has
set his seal that God is true,
and keeps his promise to men.
Then the hands full of good
deeds. Not long ago Prof. Pick
ens, at one of our experience
meetings, gave out this thought,
which is a grain of gold. He said
“it is not so much making a living
as making a life.” When a man
brings all the resources God has
given him into fellowship with
Jesus and consecrates all to him
for service, then he begins life
making in good, real earnest.
And such a life reminds us that
“We may make our lives sublime,
and departing leave our footprints
1 on the sands of time.” O, the
i potency of a real good life! A real
; good, noble character! One whom
\ any one, even a vile sinner, can
j trust, and does trust, for s.vra
| pathy and help in deep trouble.
With this as a basis for action.
■ for service in the future, both al
j Sulphur Rock and Newark, con
I ditions will never be again as the.’v
| have been in the past; the twe
• town are nearer one now thar
i ever before. Both have beer
baptized into one spirit and the
motto henceforth will be not te
provoke each other to envy anc
strife but to provoke each othei
to good work for God and man
Amen.
“Let brotherly love continue.’
(Heb. 13: 1.) Heed this admoni
tion and all else will be in keep
ing with this scriptual injunction
