FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1906
Don’t forget the big picnic at
Newark the sth of August.
The Pocahontas Star is now is
sued semi-weekly. The Star is
©ne of the best papers in North
Arkansas.
Unless some unforeseen disaster
happens to the crops in this sec
tion of the state, the farmers will
reap a bountiful harvest this
;year. ______________
“Any man can earn a dollar,
but it takes a wise man to use it,”
■was one of Russell Sage’s maxims,
and there’s a good deal of truth
in it._
The Journal would like to see
-the business men of Newark wake
up and do some advertising, or do
something to increase the town’s
trade territory.
The press dispatches state that
the Jews are still being massacred
ever in Russia. Russia would be
in a great deal better condition if,
instead of massacring the Jews,
she would turn her (inancial ad
ministration over to them.
A sue-, A .r/rr a -a.
Are the business men of Newark
going to go to sleep and allow bus
iness which rightly belongs to
Newark to drift away to Bates*
ville and Newport'?
Newark’s Sunday lid seems to
be standing the strain remarkably
well. It was on again last Sunday
hard and fast and Mayor Arnold
says it is on to stay.
The Monroe County Citizen
very truthfully remarks: It is
not by advertising defects, but in
improving opportunities that
towns grow into cities, and cities
grow larger.
The fact.that they have to die
and leave their wealth does not
discourage men from the desire to
accumulate. It is just as well, too.
For, after all, say what we may
about worldly avarice, the desire
for gain is the mainspring of the
world’s progress.
Russell Sage, one of the richest
men of the world, died at his home
in New York City Sunday. He
began life in a country store at a
salary of $4 a month and board,
but at the time of his death his
fortune was estimated at one hun
dred million dollars.
H. L. Remmel, who, next to
Powell Clayton, is the most prom
inent Republican in Arkansas, and
who is said to he a close friend of
President Roosevelt, says that he
believes that Rsosevelt will be a
| candidate and will be the Republi
can nominee for the presidency in
11HK This announcement by Mr.
Remmel is construed as an indica
tion that the Arkansas Republi
cans will send a delegation to the
next Republican national conven
tion instructed to vote for the
nomination of Roosevelt, and this,
too, in spite of Roosevelt’s re
cent declarations that he would
not be a candidate again.
Powell Clayton, whom Gover
nor I)avis characterizes as the
“Old Bell Wether, ” has been chal
lenged by the governor for a joint |
political discussion covering im-j
portant points in the state, but
Marse Powell is too wise to butt:
into a buzz saw and has declined.
There is never a week but what
more or less people go from New- J
ark to Batesville and Newport to:
buy goods, and the number seems)
to be increasing. But this is eas
ily explained. The merchants of j
Newport and Batesville are wide ;
awake and reaching out after busi- j
ness. They advertise tlieir goods !
in an attractive manner, get the
people interested and they go to
i see what they can do, and in a ma
jority of cases they buy goods
they could have bought right here
at home, and would have bought
here, if the home merchants had
been aggressive advertisers and
kept them interested. To our
certain knowledge the advertise
ment of a Batesville firm, which
appeared in The Journal last week,
took no less than $50 worth of
trade to Batesville from this im
mediate neighborhood since Sat
urday. This is a bad omen and
does not speak well for the busi
ness men of Newark, but, deplor
able as it is, it is, nevertheless, a
fact. W hat are the business men
of Newark going to do about it'
Wrill they be content to driftalong |
in the same old rut and join in
with “Just give me the the leav
ings!” _

UNFORTUNATE E
A Missouri paper finds that “e”
is the most unfortunate letter in
the English alphabet “because it
is out of cash and forever in debt,'’
to which an exchange replies.
“Unfortunate did you say ? We
don’t think so. It is the end of
time and at the beginning of eter
nity, the end of trouble, and al
ways in happiness, first in every
thing, always in sunshine and nev
er in shadow: in the middle of
bed, doubled up in sleep and al
ways at rest.”
Dr. W. (i. Rosebrough has op
ened an office in Newark and will
be in the city on Monday, the first

loway's restaurant. Can do all
kinds of dental work and will
[ guarantee it.
