Of course, if the Sharp County Record prefers 10 think that typo graphical errors are slang, and wants 10 criticise The Journal for using slang, all right ; but it seems to Us that if a newspaper spells the word polls poles it's either a typographical error or ignorance, Bul, by the way, how is this sentence, from the Record, for slang? We offer two to one that he don't dono such thing" Will the distinguished editor of our esteemed contemporary please inform us if that is a typographi- cal error, slang or good English?

THE STATE CONVICT FARM.

Governor Davis is much dis pleased at the action of the peni- tentiary board in buying the Cum mings plantation for use as d state convict farm and says that he will dc all in his power to have the legislature cancel the contract. He olalms that the state has paid three times the worth of the pro perty and says that the place k very undesirable for a state con viet farm. All the other members of the board are highly pleased with the purchase and Secretary of State John W. Crockett says he thinks the farm very satisfac- tory III every respect and says they got it $60,000 cheaper than it's actual value. In fact all the members of the board, except Governor Davis, speak in praise of the deal and seem to think the state has procured Il very desir- able farm.
 Whether there are grounds for complaint at the action of the board or whether Governor Davis is only making d grand stand play for some cheap notoriety will be made known when the matter is taken up by the legislature. At any rate, the other members of the board are men of equally as good judgment as Governor Davis and their integrity, and loyalty to the state, cannot be questioned. In fact, Attorney General Mmpby has proven to be far superlor in his present official

THE SIDEWALK PROBLEM.

The Journal takes pleasure in indorslng the mticle from Hon. $, 4. Moore, published in today's paper. He deals with the side walk problem in a practical man ner, and, i'll fact, presents the best solution of the question that we have yet heard of, He gives d plain statement of the ease and his communication contains some facts that cannot he disputed. The absence of sidewalks Is a serious drawback to any town and If Newark expects To continue 10 advance and prosper in the future as in the past she must meet the problem, fairly and squarely, and overcome this obstacle that will continue 10 be a stumbling stone t0 the progress of the town. We hope that AIr Moore will further push thls matter by circulating q paper among the property own- CTS calling for subscriptions to the fund aud petitioning the eouncIl to appropriate a similar fund to be used in the building of side walks. Then the proper authori- ties can proceed with the work and we feel safe in saying that not man who contributes to this cause will eyerregret having done

PUBLIC IMPROYEME ENT
Hon. s. A. Moore Presents Some Facts Regarding the Side
 Walk Problem.

MR. EDITOR It was my pleas ure to locate m your thriving and energetic little city little less than three months ago. In the past year 1 have visited a number of towns throughout the state but without an exception, 1 feel safe in saying that this town has q flu ture exceIled by none with but one or two exceptions and l shall briefly speak of one, and that is sidewalks.
 Ihave observed everything very closely and l can see no reason why we should not have as good walks as any other town of tue same size ill the state, for the revenue is as great, or at least it should be, as in any other of its size. Considering its location and natural advantages, 1t is, unques- tionably, one of the coming towns of Northeast Arkansas, and will, in ny humble judgment, make town of 1000 or 3 3,000 inhabitants, provided the citizens will become thoroughly convinced that 10 sue eeed in any worthy and laudable undertaking they must unite, work in harmony and use every effort possible; and when they have done this success is assur- ed.
 It goes without saying that VIC are in need Gt more walks, and to undertake it is like all other val uable and necessary undertakings worthy of consideration, hence the citizens must make the pro- per effort. It Is in our power and Il is in our hands, will we do it?
 Wbile l, at present, do not own d dollars worth of real estate in the town, however, 1 am citizen of the town, and expect to make u ny future home, and to show t0 you that the remarks which l make are not idle words, will be one of twenty C .tizens to donate $l0 to build and erect sidewalks in the town provided the town council will appropriate $200 for the same purpose. This will give us $40O for building and erecting sidewalks, which, in my opinion, woa.d be money expended that we would never regret. Besides, that it will be an improvement. that is very badly needed, no one will dispute.
 1 have had the pleasure of con versing with several visitors late ly, relative to our town, and they nave all. unhesitatingIy, spoke very highly of it, with the excep- ton of the sidewalks-they hay ing noticed our deficiency along thls line 4 lhlag that is visible t. the eye of q stranger surely should be strikingly visible to the eye of the citizens of the town.
 The town Is well up and nov ing along nicely in all other lines, why not awaken to realization Of this momentus necessity
 Respectfully,

Bachelors Social.

Everybody knows what to expect at a social given by the ladies, but a social given by the men is a novelty in these parts. So the announcement of a Bach elors' Social at the Congregational church lest Friday evening excited tue curiosity of all. However. those who attended, were pretty well convinced that all the ability to cater to the pub lie is not vested in the ladies.
 The program, which was one of the best ever presented in the city, began with a selection on the phonograph by Prof. Caddos.
 A debate followed on the question, Resolved, that marriage is failure" :" Prof. c. M. Johnson for the affirmative and Prof. V. L. Holt for the negative. The judges decided in the affirmative by vote of two to one.
 A banjo solo by Mr. H. c. Callerman was we'll received.
 Dir. J. \. Norris and NIT. Richardson each favored the audience with short recitations.
 Mr. W. W. Shorthili sang solo, which called forth an encore, to which he responded.
 Dr. Gibbons, in dialect reading, was especially worth hearing.
 Mr. Campbell, with mandolin, added to the general enjoyment, and Carl Strom completed the program with a violin solo with his usual exquisite touch and skill.
 Then followed the crucial test. The folding doors were opened and the guests were invited to walk into the church parlor where they were to wit ness the success or failure of the enter tainment from culinary standpoint This. however, was where the men shone. They had undergone the re- pasts prepared by the ladies in which lettuce sandwich and a smile were supposed to satisfy the appetite of a hungry man, and they retaIiated with the following substantial bill of fare:
 Ham sandwiches with mustard, Bo- logna sausage, baked beans, cheese and crackers, pickles and hot coffee, and to see the way the ladies got away with the substantials, consuming as they did 10 or F gallons of beans alone, proved that they fully appreciated the mems cookery.
 Mir. Frank Bach was chief cook, with as R.J. Willis as first assistant Other assistants were Messrs. Weesner, Rich ardsOn, Angell, Hubbard, Mccauley, Rood, Holt and Stubbins.
