case is tied up in the courts the
greater the costs, and as the case
has gone beyond the point where
there is any probability of the dis
solution of the district, and the
lands within the district being Ii
able for the costs, it seems to The
journal that some effort should be
made on the part of those inter
ested to effect an adjustment of
their grievances and differences.
Parties who are damaged should
be reimbursed and other differ
ences adjusted. If the matter is
kept tied up in the courts the costs
will continue to accumulate, and
as they must eventually be
liquidated, it occurs to The Jour
nal that it would be the part of
wisdom for the parties affected to
make some move looking to an
early settlement of the case.

chairman was adopted by a unan-
imous vote.
The meeting adjourned to meet
on Saturday, July 9, for the pur-
pose of hearing reports and con-
sidering any other matter that
might come before the meeting.
This movement is one of the
most important that has ever been
launched here and The Journal is
glad to see the people getting to-
gether in an effort to push it along.
1t is a movement that vitality af
fects the interests not only of
every property owner, but of
every citizen who is interested in
the growth and development of
his country. 1t is a matter about
which we cannot afford to be in
different. While the picnic is for
the whole county and every body
in general, yet its success will de-
pend in a large measure upon the
interest our home people take in
it. The picnic is coming here upon
our invitation and solicitation.
Newark S reputation for hospital
ity is at stake and it behooves us
to put forth our best efforts in
preparing for the entertainment
of our guests.
This will be the largest and most
important gathering ever held here
within the history of Newark and
much depends upon the impress
sion we make upon the many visit
ors who will come within our gates
on those days. But The Journal
has the utmost confidence in the
people of Newark and believes
they will spare no pains or trouble
in making ample arrangements to
entertain our visitors and see that
they have pleasant time and thus
help them to form a favorable
opinion of our town.

REPORT is CONFIRMED
Court Passes on Drainage District
and Work on Ditch Will Begin

In the county court at Bates
vile Tuesday an order was made
confirming the report of the view
ers and engineer in the drainage
district east of Newark.
There was practically no objec-
tion to the report. Exceptions were
noted in one or two instances, but
these were amicably adjusted, the
objections withdrawn and the re-
port was confirmed by the court.
This is one of the most import
ant pieces of news The Journal has
been able to chronicle in some
time. 1t means that the actual
work Of drainage is to be COM
menced at an early date, which
means a long step forward in the
progress and development of the
community.
The construction of this drain
age canal will reclaim a vast area
of good land that has heretofore
been absolutely worthless, and
will put it in condition to be open
ed for cultivation.
With all that vast territory east
of Newark drained and in cultiya-
ton, and with people living on it
and bringing their products here
for market and buying goods
here, there is no question but what
every citizen of Newark would be
benefited to some extent, for any,
thing that increases its volume of
business and adds to its CONNER
eial prestige, helps the entire eiti-
zenship of the town, TO say moth
ing of the general improvement of
health conditions that will result
from the drainage of these lands.
ANOTHER DRAINAGE CASE
The case involving the district
south and west of town is set for a
re-hearing in the county court Fri
day. This district was established
by the county court some four
years ago but has been tied up in
litigation ever since, having been
to the supreme court, where it was
referred back to the county court
for settlement.
According to the best informa-
ton The journal has on the sub
ject, this ditch must be dug some
where, the question for settlement
being the location and route for
the ditch. The district cannot be
dissolved except by mutual consent
of the petitioners and the pay
ment of all costs accrued, and this
will probably never be done, as
the costs in the case are now some
thing over 81, 600. The longer the

me this week. | am sick and

what the boys are saying about
the Judges race. Every one
who has been kind enough to call
has told me that Dave King is
stronger than ever. We cant
believe that the people will vote
for Judge Meeks after honoring
him with the office twice, when a

Dave King is a better lawyer;
every lawyer in the district will
bear me out in this. We know
he il honest and the people are
going TO vote for him, too.
Why is it, Mr.. Editor, that the
Judge and Banker Buck don't
announce in the Record?
