JAVA TIMES PRINTED
IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Paper Gives Evidence of ADJ
vance of Anglo-Saxon

1t is on record that when Gibbon had
finished his Decline and Fair he con-
templated publishing it in French, the
language in which he had written it.
David Hume was consulted and he
persuaded Gibbon to publish in Eng
lish. asserting that in time English
would be the language of the world.
The latest evidence of the advance of
our tongue is the publication of a
readable little paper, the Java Times,
published in Batavia and printed
throughout in English. The venture
deserves success, and we have seen less
readable papers published in our own
midst-London Globe.

The number of people who pass through Newark every day going to work over in the bottoms gives the town quite a busy appearance early every morning and late eve y evening. Tuesday evening Pa trolman Magness counted the wagons and people that came out on only the one road leading through the stock-law gate and found there were 99 wagons and 313 people, and he thinks he miss ed several, as he did not begin
 counting until late. This makes quite a pretty scene and speaks we'll for the industry of our people.

THE MISSOURI CANNERIES
George Hawkins Says They flake
 Prosperity For the Farmer

Dear Editor:- Will write a few points on the canning industry and tomato growing, as l find it in this country. There is said to be more tomatoes raised in this section of Missouri than in any other part of the United States, except around Baltimore, Md.
 There were seventy nine cars of canned tomatoes shipped from one factory at Marshfield last year, and the same cannery has contracted for 1900 acres this year.
 They pay B to 40 cents bushel for tomatoes delivered at the fac- tory, and the farmers say they make from S35 to $50 an acre growing tomatoes on land that will not make over twenty bushels of corn to the acre.
 You see this one factory alone will pay the farmers about $52, 1000 this season for tomatoes. Each family plants from two to ten acres. They begin setting out the plants about the first of June, and the gathering season lasts about month.
 A factory that will can 5000 cans day, costs about S3 ,000 and requires about ten hands to oper- ate it. They find ready sale for all their goods IS soon as they are packed. There are small canneries all over this country, and what they are doing in Missouri could be done in Arkansas if the people would try. GEORGE HAWKINS.

There are no better men in the county than John Magness and as he possesses all the necessary qualifications for making a good sheriff, he will prove strong can didate and the man who beats him will have to go some.

THE ETEACHFR

We'll, what Is he, or she, as the gender may happen to be- Usu. ally a creature just like we, with hopes, fears, joys, tears, good, ba9 , at times 0. k. and at times noto. k. But teachers are very human, and patrons of the schools are very hu- man. Sometimes 1t happens that the teacher Is human and corrects. Then sometimes the parent gets on his earo and goes off half cock
 ed about the teacher and the school and so on, just because his'n had to be disciplined. Such a parent needs discipline himself and will likely get 1t by and-bye from the boy he upheld in his disobedience. Chickens nearly always come home to roost. This seems to be a day of obedient parents and disobedi- ent children. It is the day of foolish talking by parents before their children. If the dads and mans could be forced to attend about ten months school under some old Irish teacher, such as we used to have, some of us might learn a thing or two. Get that down and see what there is in 1t for you. PATRON
