X crow dipped iii castor oil aud cooked over hot box is not so ogonizino, for unconsciousness imeryenes quick ly and hangs on till smother campaign opens.
 But the right way to cut crow IS io take him raw.

2 MASKED ROBBERS
T1ade a Bold Attempt at
 Clarendon Depot.
Fired Several Shots at the Agent Then rIade Good Their
 Escape.

Clarendon, April An at tempt was made last night at II = 40 o'clock to rob the Cotton Belt depot at this place. At that hour noise was made at the door leading from the white waiting room to the ticket office. Night Agent Wetb, thinking somebody wanted to buy ticket, went to the door, which opens at the top and leaves the lower half locked !, and was about 10 ask what was desired d, wheE two pistols were pointed at him and he was com manded to hold up his hands. He immediately struck the pistols side, dropped behind the door and Ian into the colored waiting room. Tine robbers, who were masked, fired five or six shots after the agent and into the office, then ran out and rapidly dissap- peared down the railroad track toward the Midland. AIal shal Boardman and Sheriff MiIwee were notified by telephone, and soon arrived it the depot, Jack Stephens bloodhoands were brougot down and tried, but would not trail, and all efforts to obtain d clue that would discover the thieves were futile. NJ dam age was suffered by the railroad company except the shots fired into the.ofiice. The Cotton Belt x detectives will probably be pvt upon the case.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Another Improvement For
 the Good Town.
(. J. Magness Will Add a Local Telephone System to Towns
 Flany Improvements.

It gives The Journal pleasure to announce that Newark is to have local telephone system.
 C. ]. Magness canvassed the town Monday and succeeded in securing enough subscribers to make the proposition a certainty.
 As assurance that 1t will be push ed to successful termination, un- less large number of patrons who have already subscribed refuse to fulfil their agreement, it is only necessary to state that Charley is himself the cheif promoter of the enterprise, for everyone knows that when he decides to do thing there is no monkeyin'" about doing it.
 The poles and necessary fix lures have been ordered and it is expected that the system will be in working order inside of 30 days. The system will start with about forty phones.
 This will be one of the most val uable additions to the public inn proyements of the town that New ark has yet acquired, and when the system is once in and in work ing order the people will wonder how they ever got along before without phone.
 The Journal heartily congratu- lates Mir. Magness on his enter prise in taking hold of this matter and pushing 1t to a successful con- clusion, and trusts that, as the town continues to grow and pros- per, 1t may become a source of much pleasure and profit to him.

What Kills a Town.

People in too many cpmmuni- ties waste their time in making faces. They will wreck their own interests in injuling some one else. They permit envy and jealousy to blind their judgment dominate their actions. To build
 up q town people must pull to- gether, not pull down. In private business they must compete. In the public business they mnst CO., operate. Any other policy Is sill ly and suicidal, and the evidence of small mlnd. New communi- ties stand together better than old ones, i'll which are animosities of long stinding, social and pro- fessional rivalrles and deep-seated grudges. Hence, tie elder resi- dents very frequently become big

Poor Economy.

Did you ever hear tell of the man who was too economical to take his home paper but sent his little boy to borrow the copies re- eieved by neighbor? In his haste the boy ran over two dol lar stand of bees, and in ten seconds looked like a warty sum- mer squash. His cries reached the father, who ran to his rescue, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that. break ing the fence down cutting a handfull of fish bait out of his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old COW took advan- tage of the gap in the fence, got in, eat 40 cents worth of alfalfa, ane died of bloat.
 Hearing the racket, the wife ran out, upset four gallon churn of cream into a basket of kittens and drowned the hole mess, In the hurry ohc dropped and broke Il seven dollar set of false teeth The baby, left alone crawlcd through the flood of cream and into the parlor running new carpet. Duling the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with a book agent, the dog broke up eleven setting hens. and tLe calves got out and ohewed the sleeves from four fine shirts that hung on the line. It would have been cheaper for the above man to have subscribad for the paper then beat the editor out the sub- seription. -Ex.

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fat has been
branded by the most competent authori-

notion that cne kind of food is needed
for h,ain. another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may tie,
it's nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
