FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1907
Mon. O. N. Ivillough of Wynne
lias announced that lie will be a
candidate for attorney general.
Twenty states have reduced rail
road fares in the last year. If this
thing keeps up long, it will soon
be unanimous.
The health of ex-President
Grover Cleveland is failing very
fast and it is -aid that he cannot
live but a few weeks.
The wants of a people are, to a
certain degree, their standard of
living. The people who never
want much never attain to much.
When the farmers declare for
fifteen cent cotton, they are only
demanding that they, and not the
middlemen, shall have the profits!
of their industry.
Many more towns die for want
of confidence on the part of the
business men and lack of public
spirit, than from opposition of j
neighboring towns and adverse
surroundings.
Wre don’t see much in the pa-!
pers here of late in regard to the
condition of Governor Little.
There seems to be a disposition in
certain quarters to push the gov
ernor into the backgound and al
low the pubilc to loose sight of
him and forget him entirely.
A giddy bride and groom, aged:
<ib and !>7, respectively, eloped up;
in Ohio a few days ago and got;
married. The papers do not say j
whether parental objections caused j
the elopment or whether the giddy j
young things just wanted to give
the neigboriiood gossips something
to talk about.
Sometimes it is a great trial to
keep right on working vigorously
every day, but it should be re
membered that it is the workers
who keep the world’s great machin
ery moving, and there is satisfac
tion in belonging to that class.
J, M. Watkins has retired from
i the Batesville Guard and embark
iedin the grocery business. We
i see where he is wise. If he can’t
! sell his goods now he can eat them,
! and a newpaper man can neither
eat his delinquent subscription
accounts nor trade them for any
thing he can eat.
The state capitol will likely be
an important issue in the ap
proaching gubernatorial campaign
again. A few demagogues have
already inflicted upon the people
of the state so much political hot
air over this matter that they are
thoroughly disgusted, and the can
didate who makes this his chief
issue in the coming campaign
ought to be sat down on good and
hard.

Another man in Jackson county
has lost his life as a direct result
of too much booze. ‘‘Whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also
reap” is a truism that has stood
the test of centuries, and Jackson
county is reaping an abundant
harvest from the seeds of her
own folly.
Cassie M. Chadwick, noted in
the world of finance for posing as
Andrew Carnegie’s daughter, who
swindled Ohio and Eastern banks
and capitalists out of millions in
loans on bogus securities, was
stricken with a nervous collapse at
the Ohio penitentiary a few days
ago, which left her blind. Her
condition is serious and it is the
opinion of the prison physician
that she will never live to serve
out her ten year’s sentence, two
years of which she has completed.

Constitutional prohibition will
be the leading issue of the ap
preaching campaign in Mississippi.
A number of church and other or
ganizitions are calling upon the
legislature to submit to the people
j .
an amendment to the constitution
j prohibiting the sale of liquor in
j the state, and reports indicate that
jsuch an amendment would be
! adopted by a large majority. The
j growth of prohibition sentiment
i throughout the entire South in re
I cent years is remarkable, and if
J public sentiment continues to
I grow along the same lines, it will
only be a few years until there
will not be a saloon in the South.
A LETTER FROri TEXAS
To The Newark Journal
Memphis, Tex., Sept. 14.—I
| have been here almost six months
and have not written but once.
Perhaps some wmuld like to hear
something of this country.
This was once supposed to be a
worthless country, so far as farm
ing is concerned, but is now a bee
hive of industrious farmers, bless
[edwitha bountiful harvest, and
flourishing towns along the rail
roads.
Memphis is a splendid town of
about 2,000 inhabitants. A few
weeks ago it was published that
$175,000 worth of building was
going on. Waterworks is being
I installed and the water will be
piped from springs six miles out
in the country, as most all well
water is gyppy. A cotton seed oil
mill is being built and a #5,000
brick Christian church is to be
built.
The principal products are cot
ton, maise and kaffir, also sor
ghum for feed. Unimproved land
out on the plains sells for from #10
to #25 per acre. A great many
cattle are raised. It is not uncom
mon to see a whole train load go
ing to Kansas City markets. We
have hagl but very few hard winds
this summer.
The people here are as intelli
gent as any where. Colleges and
high schools are plentiful. This
is a prohi county in fact the great
er part of Texas is dry.
We are having a good religious
revival and a great many have
been converted. I have been rend
ing of the great revival wave over
your country and rejoice over the
convertion of my brothers and
many friends and feel like Newark
must be almost a little Heaven on
earth. When one is converted in
our meetings, the evangelist stops
the singing and everybody joins
in saying, “Bless the Lord, O my
soul, and all that is within me,
bless His holy name.”

A CARD OF THANKS
To the good people of Oil
Trough who were so earnest and
faithful in their efforts in minister
ing to my wife in her last illness,
in helping her in her affliction,
and in making our sorrow and
misery easier to bear, we feel that
it is only a small return to make,
as words are inadequate to express
our gratitude and thankfulness,
but we ask that they be accepted
as such, coming from an altar, the
center of which is our hearts, from
which flows only true and genuine
thankfulness.
We feel that nothing was spared
by these good people in their
efforts that could possibly have
I have just opened the nicest stock of up-to-date
