THE EXCURSION TO COTTER
Quite q Number of Newark Citizens
Went up, and all Enjoyed the
Trip Immensely.

Quite number Of Newark peo-
pie, including the editor and fami-
ly, went up to Cotter on the ex-
cursion last Sunday.
Cotter is a very unpretentious
little place at present, but as it is
to be division point on the new
road, it's citizens are sanguine as
to its future greatness.
The scenery along the route is
simply grand. The railroad fol-
lows the river all the way up, and
IN many places the frowning bluffs
rise to a height of several hundred
feet on one side, while on the 9TH
er side and almost directly beneath
you, flows the beautiful White riv-
er.
On the return trip the train was
stopped at Penter's Bluff for five
minutes to allow the passengers to
view this magnificent and awe-in-
spring piece of Natures handi-
work, This is probably one of the
most beautiful pieces of mountain
scenery between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains,
and would require the pen of a
genius to give an adequate descrip-
ton of it. The scenery all along
the route is fine and is we'll worth
the trip to see it.
Messrs. Coffin and Reamey, of
Newport, who we're in charge of
the train, left nothing undone that
would add to the comfort and
pleasure of the passengers and
handled the crowd in a remarka-
bly, fine manner.

risers in Rector this morning saw
an efiigy of Gov. Davis hanging

Mart Vowel from the gallows
came from a source not generally
known. Attached to the picture
of the governor were several play
ing cards. The effigy had evident
ly been prepared with care, as the
picture was u very good likeness
of the governor.
The picture was taken down and
burned soon after the discovery
that it had been strung up.

agould yesterday for the murder
of VIM. T. Lovejoy in this county,
arrived here at 8 o clock last night.

Quoted in the Methodist church by
Rev. j. w. Cox, prior to the in
torment. As many people as the
church could hold were present.
The stores, banks and workshops
were closed from noon to D. m.
on account of the obsequies. Rev.
Mr.. Cox took for his text, There
remaineth therefore q rest for the
people of God" For one hour he
discoursed eloquently on the UNI
fortunate tragedy and referred to
Vowel as his personal friend and
an honest man, who joined the
church during the speakers early
ministerial career, thirty years or
more ago.
The funeral procession was more
than a mile in length. At least
1900 people followed the remains
to the grave. In the principal
street of the town there had been
placed an arch, which was draped
appropriately and surmounted
with flowers. During the solemn
march every bell in town was toll
ed.

Z POTENT FACTORS
Are the Newspaperand Real Estate
rIan in Town Building.
LEADERS OF ENTERPRISE
Work Together as Geared Wheels and
are Potent Factors in the Up
building of any Town.

The real estate man of the small
er towns and the agricultural COM
munities is the general practition-
er and has as varied an experience
as does his neighbor and oft-time
particular friend, the doctor, who
not infrequently shares with him
the seat of common conveyance

while the other tarries at an adj

Joint or hurries delayed func-
ton, says an exchange, The gen
eral practitioner of real estate
deals in farms, town lots, nego-
tiates mortgages, sells insurance,
makes abstracts of title, plans To-
cal enterprises and, what is more
carries them on successfully, too
and acts as pilot through the
troubled business paths Of his com
munity, all with as quiet daring
and as easy confidence as does his
brother, the doctor, explore cav
ity in damaged skull, go to the
relief of heart affection, or
straighten out u fracture the one
viewing his profits In a large acre
age deal with quite as much self
complacency as does the other the
stump of a recent amputation, both
with pride in the thoroughness of
his work.
Usually the real estate agent is
the pioneer of industry in his COM
munity, the prophet of business
progress. The nature Of his call
ing demands activity in his finan-
cial circle and its current must not
be allowed TO become sluggish, if
from no other reason than that the
returns to him will be slow and
his income much shortened. He
must keep up the current or be
the first to encounter loss. Thus
he must be always doing or else
there will be nothing to do.
The work and influence of the
light thinging, honorable real es-
lie agent are of inestimable value
to his town and country. He is
the leader Of enterprise, the first
in aggressive movement, and the
mainstay of the new public inn
provement which it is sought toI
establish. He is so thoroughly in
touch with his section, knows It's
resources and its capabilities so
well, that he is competent to ad-
wise and suggest and direct. HIS
Judgment is based upon fact, he
has a knowledge of the limitations
of the field as well as a confidence
in It's endowments, and he is tit to
counsel in the various projects
which are constantly under scru-
tiny. A first class real estate
agent is not only a benefit to his
circle but is such an agency for ITS
prosperity and growth rs is the
publisher of splendid local paper.
In combination they are q duo
hard to defeat. They work to
gether as do geared wheels and ex-
ert force salutary in It's effect.
Find the section which possesses
them and you find one that is a
leader, that keeps always to the
front and adds to it's resources and
advantages. Fortunate is the prop !,
erty-holder who has investments
within their sphere. He has allies
which arc formidable and which !
lead on to good results.
