INFORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Judge Pearce Issues Statement to
 Voters of the County

To the Democratic Noters:-
 1 desire to advise you that it is and has for some time been my in- tention to ask the good people of Independence county for a second term as county and probate judge.
 But l am opposed to these long, drawn campaigns which last from one election to another, and which are usually made up of personal ities and hard feelings among can- didates and their friends. There fore l consider it entirely too early to make formal announcement through the press of my candidacy or to enter into any active cam paigning before the holidays; and until then 1 expect to remain in my office and attend to the many duties which require my attention.
 But at the proper time I will get into the race. Then business will pick up, and 1 will make good for apparent delays upon my part.
 In the meantime l hope the yot- CTS of Independence county will withhold any activities or fixed de- cisions as to their choice in this race, because there is still plenty of time to settle all issues involved in this campaign, and to make a choice between the contending candidates.
 With heart full of gratitude to my friends and constituents, and with thanks to all who give the matter fair consideration, l re- main, Yours very truly.

WHAT ARKANSAS NEEDS

There are thousands of home seekers and investors pouring into Oklahoma and Texas who would come to Arkansas instead, if they only knew one-half what we know about 1t. Arkansas lands are cheap CT and just as fertile; Arkansas farm products and minerals have always been prize winners, and Arkansas health Is of the govern ment guaranteed pure food sort that can be absolutely relied on all the time. All Arkansas needs is to get her resources advertised. - Leslie Banner.

TO BUILD A NEW HOTEL
Movement on Foot to Organize
 Stock Company to Build Hotel

There is movement on foot to organize a stock company to build a hotel in Newark.
 The town is badly in need of q good hotel. A town without hotel is a mighty poor excuse for town. It's high time the business men were getting together in united pull for hotel.
 Since the Galloway House burn ed last spring, the town has been been a hotel, and the report has gone out that man can't get place to stay all night in Newark. Such reports do the town great injury, and in addition to that the town loses considerable money that would otherwise be spent here if we had good hotel accommoda- tions.
 The Journal hopes the business men will get together and organ ize a stock company and build good hotel. This is a matter that every citizen of the town should be interested in, for town that cannot afford hotel accommoda- tions for those whose business calls them here overnight, will soon find itself considerably the loser.

GOOD REPORTS MADE
Methodist Quarterly Conference
 Reports Show Up We'll

The fourth quarterly conference for Newark station, M. k. church, South, was held Sunday and Mon day by Presiding Elder A. F. Skin her, whose visits are always looked forward to with much interest by both pastor and congregation.
 The reports submitted showed a healthy condition of the church. There have been eighteen access sions to the church this quarter. The stewards made a good report on finances, the collections for the quarter being $1S0.80. There is yet small balance to be paid, and November IT has been set as the date for full and final settlement.
 Newark station has now passed safely the second milestone, and the following board of stewards elected for the coming conference year, indicates that the same earn est endeayors will be made to con- tinue the good work: T. J. Raney, F. c. Hoyt, E. W. Magness, c. M. Edwards, k. T. Magness, R. k. Ration, F. NJ. Martin, D. c. Lane, John Austin, H. k. Haw- thorne and J. w. Barnett.
 R. K. McHenry was elected Sunday School superintendent, and T. J. Raney was elected district steward.
 When all the collections for all purposes are in for the year, in- cluding the pastors salary, confer ence benevolences, expenditures on the church and parsonage, incl dentals and Sunday schools, etc., the amount will be about $1, 200 paid by the church and it's friends this year. That is a good show ing indeed and speaks volumes for the loyalty and generosity of the good people of Newark.

TO MEASURE CORN IN CRIB

This rule will apply to a crib of any size or kind. Two cubic feet of good sound dry corn in the ear will make a bushel of skelled corn.
 To get the quantity of corn in a crib, measure the length, breadth and height of the crib, inside. Then multiply the length<by the breadth and the product by the height; then divide by two and you have the number of bushels of corn in the crib.
