SOME PROBABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Work That is Being Done and New Buildings That Will
 Perhaps be Erected

Newark continues to grow and prosper. Hon. T. T. Raney is making extensive improvements on his residence, and Judge K. K. Ration will in short time begin the work of remodeling and build ing an addition to his residence property near the school building which he recently purchased from Hon. T. J. Raney. It is reported that Mir. Ration will spend about S3,000 on his property and will have the incest home in the entire city when completed.
 It is probable that several brick business houses will be built be- fore fall, and k. M. Galloway who has been conducting 3 restaurant here for several years and has built up fine patronage, will probably build two-story brick. hotel on the lots now occupied by his restaurant.
 The town needs some more first class business houses and The Journal would like to see work be- gin on them at once.

 The attention of our readers Is called to the advertisement of the Weaver-Dowdy Company's big Clean-Up Sale on the eighth page of today's paper. They are mak- ing some very low prices during this sale and it will pay you to in- vestigate when you need anything in their line.
 Surveyor Van Frank of Little Rock arrived in town yesterday to begin the work of locating the ditch which is to be dug from tupelo pond west of town into Mud creek. This ditch will be of great benefit to the entire com munity, as 1t will drain a vast area of farming lands, and will perhaps also be beneficial to the healthful- ness of the community.
 A citizens interest in his home town can safely be judged by his support of local enterprises. Some are enterprising, hard-working citizens in the sense of making money. but their interest in the town does not go beyond what they individually can get out of it. Their local interest Is purely and unqualifedly selfish. They add nothing to the growth of the town. In proportion as man is a bene- fit to his community, so is his true position, as citizen among the people of his town.

THE LID WAS ON LAST SUNDAY
Everything in Town Was Closed Up Hard and Fast by Order
 of Mayor Arnold

Mayor Arnold served notice on all the business houses Saturday that hereafter all places of busi- ness must be closed on Sunday.
 This order went into effect last Sunday and as a result the lid was on hard and fast. Not business house was open except the drug stores and restaurants and the lat ter were not permitted to sell any thing, except meals or lunches. Even bread, ice cream, cigars and tobacco were under the ban, and those who failed to supply them selves on Saturday with the neces- saries of life were compelled to borrow of their more thoughtful fortunate neighbor or do without.
 The lid was the subject of no little comment by all classes of citizens, and while the action of the mayor was bitterly criticised by some, others indorsed 1t.

qure respect for the monster machine as it is
put through its best PAGES by the COOL selfreliant
engineer which heretofore had only come in for
careless glance as he made his way out of the
station at the end of the journey.
At first, as the engine awkwardly began to
gather headway it didn't seem possible that
this heavy machine could move rapidly, but as
the great driving wheels turned around faster and
faster we soon quickly passed through the long
lines of freight cars that hanked the tracks on
either side and swept out into the open country.
Once clear of the yards the engineer pulled the
long lever of the throttle back little further
and the engine jumped forward with increased
speed Then, the machine seeming to have di-
gested this added pressure, the throttle was
drawn out few more notches until we began
to swing around the curves that follow the wind
ngs of the river in a pretty rapid gait. BY
this time l could keep my seat only with diff
fcuty on account Of the rocking Of the machine.
We were now running along the very edge Of
the steep banks Of the river at what appeared to
me to be fully mile minute. II didn't seem
as if we could run faster.
To my astonshment the engineer reached up
and pulled out the throttle another full inch
And then we did move. Around the curves we
swayed and rocked as the big engine shot for
ward.
The engineer with body unconcernedly follow
ing the violent rocking TO and fro of the giant
machine, leaning out of the window of the
cab with eyes straight ahead. He had appar-
entity forgotten all about the throttle. On we
dashed toward the curve, and then darted in
hot chase of the rails as they led around the
sharp corner
THE LIMIT NOT YET REACHED.
We got safely around, however. and then we
flew down another short straight" at the end
of which could be seen still another breaking
