FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904.
The prohibitionists of Arkansas
met in convention at Little Rock
Wednesday and nominated Hon.
J. E. Wilmans, of Newport, as
their candidate for governor.
Arkansas’ fruit display at the
World’s Fair is attracting much
attention, and w'as the subject of
special comment in an official bul
letin issued the first of the week.
Newark will not have any Fourth
of July celebration, but will cele
brate on the lltli, 12th and 13th.
Yellville is coming down to play
ball on those days and a big barbe
cue will likely be given the 13th.
The Batesville Guard thinks
that neither Brundidge or Little
will be a candidate for United
States senator in 1906. Of course
we know nothing about the politi
cal aspirations of the gentlemen
named, but if the senatorial light
two years hence narrows down to
Davis and Berry, Davis will have
an easy victory.
An anti-Parker convention was
held in New York City Monday
night, at which Bryan was the
principal speaker. He made a.sav
age attack on the “re-organizers”
and vigorously opposed the nomi
nation of Judge Parker. If Parker
should l>e nominated by the demo
crats there would be no chance for
him to l»e elected, in the face of
the strong fight that Bryan will
likely make against him.
We notice that Robt. L. Rogers
is being favorably mentioned as a
probably candidate for governor
two years hence. The Journal is
confident that “our Bob,” as he is
familiarly known in this section,is
going to be a prominent figure in
future political affairs in Arkan
sas. He is made of the right sort
of stuff and our prediction is that
he will be a winner for a nything
he may ask for two years hence.
OUR NEW PRESS.
The .Journal has just received a
big cylinder press, which will bo
sot up today and put in readiness!
for printing ort the future editions
of The Journal.
This is a distinction that but few
country weeklies in Arkansas
towns the size of Newark have ev
er attained, as it is quite a jump
from the slow and laborious old
Washington, which will print on
ly 250 single sheets the size of two
pages of The Journal, to a real
cylinder press which can be run
by power and print four pages of
a six column paper at the rate of
1,000 an hour.
The Journal is justly proud of
the success it has attained, and wo
are sometimes even foolish enough
to believe that the people of New
ark and the surrounding country
are proud of The Journal.
But, be that as it may, we are
proud of the people of Newark and
Independence county—proud of
the fact that we live among them
and that we are able to number
them as our friends. A nobler
people never inhabited the globe.
As time goes by and we get on
speaking terms with our big press
we hope to make improvements in
the paper from time to time, and
thus show our appreciation of the
liberal patronage we have received.
We hope, also, to materially in
crease the circulation of The
.Journal during the next few
months, and if you have a friend
who is not taking the paper, kind
ly insist upon‘him or her becom
ing a subscriber at once. You
will thereby help us to make The
Journal a better paper, and in
crease its usefulness.
But, until we become more fam
iliar with our new press, do not
expect too much of us. It may
take some time to get the press
work perfect, and if your paper,
for a week or two, comes to you a
little badly printed, just blame—
well, just blame the editor.
Looking for Cruel Mother.
Newport, June 20.—The identi
ty of the woman who left a babe
to a fate of starvation near the
park north of this city has been
almost proven. The name is with
held pending her arrest. Cloth
ing and a part of a letter were
found near the infant, which gave
clews that were run down. The
clothing has been identified as
that of a woman living in Oil
Trough Bottom.

Have those photos made—you know
The ones you promised long ago;
Gibson makes them good and cheap,
Good to give away, or good to keep.
Made in dull or made in glace,
Your whole form, or just your face;
Groups of families, one and all,
Make them standing, low or tall.
If you want them in crayon,
You can get them by you paying,
Less than you have ever known —
Agent’s prices make us groan.
My medallions, they are tine;
Make them just for ninety-nine;
Frames and buttons you can get—
Hold tnern last year sell them yet.

port and Batesville retail cheaper than Littie Rock;
and we all know that Newark retails cheaper than
any town in North-east Arkansas, quality con

town, the smaller the expense for rents,

our money will buy just as much goods
