ABOUT PATRONIZING
HOME INSTITUTIONS.
Do the Business Men Practice What
They Preach About ‘’Patroniz
ing Home Instituting."
Are the Little Hock, St. Louis,
Memphis or Dallas papers and
job printing offices working for
Newark, Magness, Sulphur Rock,
Batesville or any other portion of
Independence county t Not much!
But they are working those places
for every dollar that is in sight.
Our county has three good news
papers. any one of which can and
does turn out just as good ordi
nary commercial jobs as the for
eign offices, and every dollar that
is sent out of the county for print
ing is defrauding them of what is
justly their dues and retarding by
so much the advancement of the
county, for the harder the papers'
have to hustle for a living the less
time and space they will have to
devote to the general good. All
the papers in the county have al
ways advised the public to buy
their goods from home merchants,
and to never send away for any
thing they can buy at home, but
some of these same home mer
chants will send to the cities for
their printing if they see an op
portunity to save a measly little
two-bits on worth of stationery.
It is a well known fact that a town
is judged abroad by its newspaper,
and if the editor has to spend ev
ery moment of his time trying to
scrape together enough cash to
meet his paper bills and other ex
penses at the end of the month,
the paper will soon show the ef
fects of the negleetand degenerate
into a fourth or fifth-rate patent
medicine sheet with barely enough
news to entitle it to admission to
the mails. You have seen such
papers, and mentally decide that
them must be published in a
mighty dull town. On the other
hand, if the paper get-; the busi
ness that is due, it the publisher
knows that at the end of the
month he will be able to meet all
obligations, so devotes his time to
getting up the news, local happen
ings, etc., and making his paper
bright, newsy and readable. So it!
is not the publisher altogether,
but largely the people, who are re
sponsible for the good or poor pa-1
pers we see.
DON’T SNUB A BOY.
Don't snub a boy because he
wears shabby clothes. Edison,
the inventor of the telephone,
wore linen breeches when lie en
tered Boston in the dead of winter.
Don’t snub a boy because his!
home is plain and unpretending, !
Abraham Lincoln’s home was a
log cabin. Don’t snub a boy be
cause of the ignorance of his par
ents. Shakespeare, the world’s
greatest poet, was the son of a
man who was not able to write his
own name. Don't snub a boy be
cause he chooses an humble trade.
The author of Pilgrim’s Progress
was a tinker. Don't snub a boy
for physical disability. Milton
was blind. Don't snub a boy be
cause of dullness in his lessons.
Hogarth, the celebrated painter
and engraver. Was a stupid boy at
his books. Don't snub anybody.
Not only because some day he may
outstrip you in the race of life,
but because it is neither kind, nor
right, nor Christian like—Ex.
A WISE FARMER.
A faamer speaking be for*1 an in
stitute of his profession recently,
said: “As a rule the farmer I
knows no firmer friend than the
country press. The home paper
is distinctly the farmer’s own pa- j
per supported directly or indirect
ly by the farmers who compose
the back bone of the printer’s sub
scription list and largely for what
the enterprising merchant adver
tises. Now, brothers let us not
forget our friends. Let us see
that our subscription is paid be
fore the first of January and a
year in advance if we can afford it.
The man or the paper that fights
my battles shall have my support.
Another thing, the merchants who
advertise are the ones who make it
possible for us to get a good local
paper, and the men who are too
penurious to advertise and help
support the local press have no
right to the farmers’ patronage.
I propose hereafter to go to a good
live advertiser and a man who will
do his share in supporting the lo
cal press, thus contributing to my
support, rather than buy of the
man who proposes to take all and
give nothing in return. If farm
ers as a class would support their
friends the other fellow would
soon go out of business.
THE BASHFUL YOUNG HAN.
A bashful young man was invit
ed to dine. He was very much
agitated. He sat opposite the
mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair. Then
he dropped his fork on the floor
and as he stooped to pick it up he
upset his coffee. Matters went
from bad to worse until finally in
despair the young man quit eating
and put his hands under the table.
The loose end of the table cloth
was lying in his lap. When he
touched it he turned pale, lb
thought it was his shirt and that
he had forfotten to put the gar
ment in his trousers. That ac
counts for his further cm harass
ment. lie hurriedly stuffed the
supposed shirt inside his trousers.
Afterward when the family arose
from the table there was a crash.
The dishes lay in a broken mass on
the floor. The young man pulled
three feet of table cloth out of his
pants and fbnv to the woods. Ex.

NEGRO SHOOTS HIS BROTHER.
Biscoe, Ark., April -JH Charlesj
Lee Boyce, a negro of this place,
shot his brother. Lorenzo, through
the fleshy part of his left thigh,
using a Winchester rifle. As he
started away he told a constable, i
who was present, not to follow
him, and the latter heeded the in
junction. The fight between the
brothers grew out of a quarrel!
over a small farm left them by j
their mother, who died a few
months ago.

GOV. DAVIS ADDRESSED
FARMERS AT PRESCOTT"
Spoke to a Large Crowd of Farmer*
and Urged the Reduction of
Cotton Acreage.
Prescott, April ‘2*.—Governor
Davis spoke to a large crowd of
farmers and merchants at the
court house this afternoon upon
the subject of the reduction in cot
ton acreage. Every seat in the
building was taken and many were
forced to stand during the address.
The subject is one of the very
greatest interest here and the
speaker was given close attention.
He urged organization among the
farmers for the purpose of con
trolling the price of their products
and warned them if they did not
control the price of cotton the
“other fellows" would. He plead
for confidence among each other
and loyalty to their cause.
A special train was run over the
Prescott and Northwestern Rail
way and truck farmers along that
route were in attendance.
President Burnett of the Arkan
sas division of the Southern Cot
ton Association preceded the gov
ernor in an earnest appeal for or
ganization in the townships, coun
ties and state.
Thos. C. McRae, president of
the Nevada county association,
was chairman of the meeting and
also made a short talk in the inter
est of the organization.
Much interest was aroused by
today’s meeting and it will cause
more concert of action among the
farmers of Nevada county.
LEARN A TRADE.
In almost every town in the
South, says an exchange, young- —
men are seeking employment even
at small compensations, while in
the same towns skilled mechanics
are scarce and high priced.
While the young man in many a.
small town is seeking employment
it frequently lumpens that there
is not a first class machinist,
bricklayer or carpenter in some of
these towns.
The remedy is for young men
to learn trades. They should ac
quire practical training and prac
tical skill. Ln industrial life it is
the mechanic who is advanced
The best foreman becomes the
superintendent. The l>est super
intendent becomes the president,
and the president in turn becomes
the proprietor on his own account.
Education both in common,
schools and colleges, is all right.
But practical training cannot l>e
neglected. Indeed, the young
man of twenty-one having a tine
college education, but no practi
cal training or skill, is in a worse
situation than a young man at the
same age with only a common
school education and a good trade.
BURNETT AT PRESCOTT.
Prescott, Ark., April Zb. B.
H. Burnett, President of the Ark
ansas division of the Southern
Cotton Association, spoke here to
day to a large and appreciative
audience. Following him, Gov.
Jeff Davis spoke for nearly an
hour on the same subject and urg-t
ed the farmers to unite. The
farmers have a strong organization,
in this county, and the member
ship is still increasing. Hon. T.
C. McRae is chairman for the
county.
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Waldron, April 28—News
reaches here from Bates that Os
car Aubrey, to years old, shot and
killed a companion, John Sherrill,
near that place. The killing was
accidental and was the result of
handling a gun that the boys did
not know was loaded.

This great stock medicine is a'
money saver for stock raisers. It I
is a medicine, not a cheap food or
condition powder. Though put up
in coarser form than Thedfor IVI
Black-Draught, renowned for the
cure of the digestion troubles of I
persons, it has the same qualities
of invigorating digestion, stirring
up the torpid liver and looseni lg
the constipated bowels for all stock
and poultry. It is carefully p -e
pared and its action is so health.*ul
that stock grow and thrive with an
occasional dose in their foot!. It
cures hog cholera and makes hogs I
grow fat. It cures chicken cholera !
and roup and makes hens lay. It I
cures constipation, distemper and I
colds in horses, murrain in cattle,
and makes a draught animal do
more work fur the food consumed.
It gives animals and fowls of all
kinds new life. Every farmer and
raiser should certainly give it a
trial.
It costs 25c. a can and saves ten
times its price in profit.

that yours is the best for my purpose. I'
