FROM SUNNY CALIFORNIA
Newark Citizen Sends Greeting,
and Good Wishes
Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for dis
turbing .you, but I thought I won't
drop you a line to tell you hov
glad I am that you have gottei
back to Newark. When you lef
there, I just felt like some on<
was dead or had left home foi
good. One reason I wanted yoi
back is because Newark is raj
home, and I hope I will soon b<
well and can come back. He then
ever so many flowers elsewhere
there is no place like home, swee
home.
And another reason I wantec
you back; who could understand
cherish and sympathize with New
ark and her people in their houi
of trouble like you could?
Or who could chastise her foi
wrong doing like you?
Some might get a little mad,
^>nt those who wanted to do right
never stayed mad long.
Or who could boost the town a*
you have done? And 1 might gc
on and tell of so many ways ir
which The Journal has been use
ful to the town and surrounding
country. I hope you have got al
your subscribers back, and many
more too. for I think you deserve
them, even if you did take a little
wild goose chase and run away.
J hope the people have seen
their mistake in letting you gc
away, and that they will love and
treat you better than they ever
did, and be as faithful to assist you
as you have them.
As for me, 1 am sincerely grate
ful that you are back in Newark
again. Fraternally,
A. R. Alexander.

LITTLE RAYMOND TATE
In memory of little Raymond
the three-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs.Tillman Tate, of Atoka,Okla.,
who died Saturday night, April 24.
Little Raymond suffered several
weeks from dropsy, caused from
bleeding at the nose. All was
done that medical skill and loving
hands could do, but to no avail.
God saw fit to transplant this fair
blossom to His heavenly garden
where no cold winds or chilling
frosts will mar its beauty.
Weep not, dear Lena for your darling
God needed one more angel child,
Amidst His shining hand,
So He bent with loving smile
And clasped your darling's hand.
A Relative.

NEWARK VS CAVE CJTY
Ball Game Saturday Results in
Victory For Newark
The Newark High School defeat
ed the Cave City Giants last Sat
urday on the Sulphur Rock dia
mond by a score of ten to nine.
The first part of the game was
fast, but the latter part was slow
ball. The size of the Cave City
fellows caused the Newark boys
to dy their best for the first five
innings. At first it looked like a
walk-over for Newark, as Cave
City did not see second base until
the fifth inning. Rut the tide
turned in the fifth, and it seemed
that Cave City was sure of the vic
tory, but good fielding and cool
heads on the part of the home
team, let the Cave Dwellers down
in the ninth with a score of nine
to ten in favor of Newaak.
The line up was as follows:

have been winners in both, and
from the showing they are mak
ing in practice they expect to be
successful in Saturday’s game
with Sulphur Rock.
SCHOOL NOTES
Our enrollment ha* reached 352
with a daily attendanc of about 250.
Interst is good. It seems that
the “spring fever” has not retard
ed the school very much so far.
To ward oil’ the feeling of indo
lence, which often affects students
in the springtime, we have some
live athletic sports, which prove
both a benefit and pleasure to all.
We have some advanced studies
added this year—Plane and Sol
id Geometry. Latin (Caesar and
Beginners’ Latin) Political Econo
my and Psychology. All these
studies are being diligently handl
ed by the students. While the
tenth grade is the limit of our
curriculum, we accommodate any
who choose ia come.
