One of Eureka Springs leading business men is in receipt of a letter from prominent business man of Fayettville, asking wh at the commercial interests of Eure- ka Springs are doing toward the securing of the Iron Mountain railway, which he states it is a positive fact will be extended from Crane 10 Fort Smith. The line from Springfield 10 Crane has but recently been opened to traffic. It is the opinion of this gentle man, as we'll as member of the leading citizens of this section, that a most feasible route for this line can be found by Eureka Springs. and the Boosters and Commercial Club should take the matter in hand. If Eureka Springs can get on the line of the great Gould System, it's future greatness is doubly as- sured. We should make a most strenuous endeavor to secure this line here.-Times- Echo.

The average man lives and dies

The average man lives and dies comparatively poor. He has not the faculty for accumulating money; you could not pass laws enough to make him rich finan- cially. The exceptional man is made 10 make money; money seems to stick to his fingers, and you could not. keep him poor. The life history of a man who has lived an unsullied life and died poor is one of uneventfui. ness. He is generally generous hearted, and never aspires to en. rich himself. All he asks is a decent living worthiiy earned-a of-tree and food and clothing for his family. Out of his mod est earnings he will probably save enough to pay for his mod- est home-seldom more. He gives his children common school education and starts them out into the world with "God bless you" for their dover. He is honorable in his dealings; he pays his debts; he works hard and spends little for luxuries. He seldom complains of his lot, and never knowingly commits a crime against the state or human. ity. He loves much and laughs moro. He may put by few dollars for his old age, but oftener not. When he dies men say of him 'He WIS an honest man and good cilizsn. We shall miss him." There is noth- ing in it to exploit; just the story of an average man-one of the salts of the earth. We all know him or knew his and his kind. He has lived according to his light and his being has served the purpose. No man is ever 8 failure who has left behind him usefulness and strong integrity.

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to employ physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them, as SO slight an injury as the scratch of 8 pin has been known to cause the loss of limb. Hence every man must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailment. Success often depends upon prompt treatment, which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand.

Reading the Signs.

A couple of young men went into a bank the other day and wanted to borrow $500. The banker talked the matter over with them, and decided not to loan the money.
 aWhat was the matter?" asked a man who had witnessed the re- fusal. "Were they poor risks?"
 cone of those men Is all right, and he offered to sign the note for the one who wanted to bor- row tho money," replied the banker. "But I don't like the style of that other fellow. The one who is good would have had the note to pay. And then, did you notice that the young chap who wanted the money was roll- ing and smoking cigarettes all the time he was talking to me?''
 Although the banker didn't say it in so many words, it was evident that the cigarett business had been enc of the features which he consideredin connection with the proposed loan. The cig- arctic smoker may have been honest, but the banker didn't like the signs.
 It is peculiar thing that cig- arctic smoking is generally dis liked by business men. The young man who struts about with a lamp, white cigarett hanging from his lips is getting off wrong with the business man. It isn't .hc banker only who objects. A

 PEACH CROP DECLARED GOOD.
 A meeting of the Peach Growers Association was held Saturday. Prospects for the peach crop of this neighborhood were declared to be good and while no report was made at the meeting of the possible ship ments, several growers tell us they expect to gee about 75 cars shipped from Rogers. This would be almost as large as the best year We have ever seen here, 1902, when 81 cars were shippe |. Prices were low that year how. ever and the crop this time will undoubtedly be worth much more to the growers. Quite a heaed discussion prose over the question of crates but the Association voted to adopt the 6 basket crate as the standard. The officers of the Association said they found the experiment. with the four basket crate last year to be unsatisfactory harder to pack and unsatisfactory, to the trade in general. They voted to ac- cept the 4 basket crates now on hand here but say they not take any shipped in from now on.- Rogers Republican.
