PENSIONS CUT OFF

Batesville, July 1.-THE coun-
ty pension board, composed of Col.
w. /. r. Howard, j. 2. Coffin and
r. 2. Weaver, passed upon the
Confederate pension claims for this
county yesterday. Some persons
heretofore drawing a pension will
receive none in the future. This
is the result of asking for an in.
crease, and when the board made
the investigation of such cases
some were found to possess more
than $500 worth of property, show
ing they were not entitled to draw
any sum as pension.

WHAT COURTESY DOES

You may say what you please,
but it is the town that offers the
most inducements socially and in a
business way that gets and holds
the people. 1t does not take long
for the public to learn whether a
town is hospitable or not, and if
the impression once gets abroad
that she is "chinchyo it would take
the life time of an average citizen
to clear away that impression. We
all know what kind of an effect
individual hospitality and courtesy
will have upon people who are
strangers in other places. The
same rule works everywhere.
When the home seeker arrives in a
town on a prospecting tour, he al.
ways notices the kind of welcome
he receives and the information he
is given. The first impression of
ten causes him to decide whether
he will locate there or go elsewhere
to seek home.

ton, Hon. r. A. Dowdy, of Bates

Newark independence Friday,

ing, but that only lasted few
years, and they were soon settled
on farms of their own. Better
buy a small home and add to it as
you can, than to rent year after
year. Rent money departs never
to return; you have nothing to
show for the future, neither can
you be independent. Then, too,
you are almost certain to become
careless. You won't fix up the
house or the farm if it is not
yours. You lose your home pride
and allow things to go to rack
about the place.

FARMERS UNION PICNIC
Two Days Encampment Will Be
Held at Sulphur Rock

The committee composed of A.
j. Craig, E. L. Sueberth, A. 7.
Best, j, H. Nash, w. +. Brinkley
and w. j. Bracy, appointed by
the County Farmers Union to Sc
cure the grounds and set the date
for holding a two days encamp-
ment, met in the court house at
Batesville and decided upon Au-
gust 10 and IL, and after consid-
ering the different places offered,
decided to accept the grounds ter
dered by the good people of Sui
phur Rock, they having offered US
all the grove lying between the
depot and cemetery, consisting of
about % or 80 acres. The street
car line runs through the grove
making it one of the most conven-
iently situated place that could be
found IN the county.
The committee, in behalf of the
independence County Union, ex-
tends cordial invitation to one
and all, old and young, to make
arrangements to come, and come
prepared to camp and stay with us
the entire two days, so that you
may hear what the agricultural
experts and the Farmers Union
speakers have to say. Unless you
come for the two days you will not
get as much good out of it as those
who stay the entire two days.
We have made arrangements for
the |. O. O. T. Home Band of
Batesville to furnish music for the
two days. The splendid music by
these boys should be heard by ev-
cry boy and girl in the county.
We will also have some of the
best speakers to be had, who will
not only present the objects of the
Union, but will show the great
necessity for a united effort upon
the part of laboring people to get to-
gether and prove to the world that
we are not in this fight merely to
bring ourselves into notice, but to
prove to all classes of people in
the cotton producing states that
our interests and theirs are iden-
tical. For instance, if the farm
ers of the South could get fifteen
cents for their cotton they would
spend most of the money with the
people where they live, thus plac-
ing more money in circulation.
And everybody knows the more
money in circulation the better
the times. So we earnestly invite
every body to come and stay with
us during the entire two days. A
program will be sent out as soon
as it can be prepared.

THE NEED OF A HOME

Mans nature cries out for a
home, a place somewhere in the
world he can call his own. The
young man should listen to this
call of his nature and buy a home.
He should never be content with
renting. The renter is a transient
being, and a wanderer on the face
of the earth. 1t may be excusable
for time, but there should be a
higher aim.
There are hundreds of prosper
Gus farmers who started by rent

DEFINITION OF LUCK

Luck means rising at 4 o'clock
in the morning, working like the
devil till its SO dark you can't see,
living on one dollar a day if you
make two, minding your own bust
ness and not meddling with other
peoples.
Luck means appointments you
never failed to keep, trains you
never failed to catch.
Luck means trusting in God and
your own resources.

JUST WATCH YOURSELF GO BY

Just stand aside and watch yourself go by,
Think of yourself as he" instead of 81 -
Note closely, as in other you note,
The bag-kneed trousers and the seedy coat;
Pick flaws, find fault forget the man is you
And strive to make your estimate ring true,
Comfort yourself and look you in the eye
just stand aside and watch yourself go by.
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked whose aims you did not know
Let undisgused contempt surge through you when
You you shrink, O commonest of men;
Despse your eowardiee; condemn whateer
You note of falseness in you anywhere,
Defend not defect that shames your eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go by,
And then, with eyes unveiled to what you loathe-
And to sins that with sweet charity you'd clothe-
Back to your se-walled tenement you'd go
With tolerance for all who dwell below;
The faults of others then will dwarf and shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one mighty link
When you, with he as substitute for Il"
Have stood aside and watched yourself go by

"As played 10y the Uamiltou-Otta-

Gus than any played in the United
States. OF course, you cannot tell how
dangerous the game would be If played
by Americans. The opeuneSs Of iht

is the freedom of punting. The rule
which allows q man free kick Is u
good one.
"In the matter of tacklIug | cannot
sec much difference. Americans throw
their men harder. but the rules govern
ing the tackle arc the same.
1.-The increased punting which the
rugby game permits, however, wouId
make hard tackles less frequent and
thus lessen the liability of hard IN
lurics.

spectacular than the American game,
and therefore less interesting. do
not believe that, is Il whole, IL will
ever be adopted in this country. though
