Life'S Journey

For every life there Is summit.
Happy are they who gain it and
sad the lot of those who faint and
fail in the struggle. Short or long
to the top, 1t can only be scaled by
persistent climbing. There must
be ambition to do and dare, or the
prize will not be secured.
Have you in the vigor of youth
begun the journey? Already are
you tired and weary? Are you
resting by the way in slothful in
diligence, hoping for wings or sails
to bear you aloft without effort:
Long before manhood's prime you
will miss Che top and 90 doguhill
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-02-25

1t is very remarkable how some
people, who on coming into your
town, begin to show their superior
knowledge of how everything
should be conducted by finding
fault with every thing and every
body. According to their way
of looking at things nothing is
just as good as it was where they
came from, They are full of sug-
gestions as to how condition could
be improved but when you 90 to
them soliciting aid for any worthy
enterprise or for charity it takes
their breath away. The trouble
with this class of people is they
were not able to keep up in the
march of progress in their old
home, consequently they had to en-
migrate. Let them alone They
are simple and will soon pass out of
existence and the world will never
miss them.
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-02-25

We are for Mr.. Donaghey for
governor because we believe him to
be an honest man and because we
believe him capable of giving the
state of Arkansas better admins
tration than his opponent. How
ever some of our very closest per-
sonal friends are ardent admirers and
followers of Mr.. Kavanaugh. This
they have perfect right to be and
towards them we have naught but
the kindliest feeling. We, in Ran
dolph county, are band of friends
and brothers among whom no con-
tention of a serious nature ever
arises.
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-02-25

A report was started here few
days ago to the effect that the rea-
son the state veterinary surgeon
did not come up to inspect some
horses here that were supposed to
be affected with contagious diseas-
es, was that Gov. Donaghey had
vetoed the appropriation for the
veterinary and that there were no
funds with which to pay his expen-
ses. This is an error and whoever
started this report was either not
advised as to the true state of af-
fairs or else was trying to mis-rep-
resent Mr.. Donaghey. The money
comes through the state university
appropriation and the governor has
had nothing whatever to do with
It,.
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-02-25

1t would not take Gov. Dona-
ghey fifteen minutes to explain why
he discharged J +, b. McCaleb from
the State Capitol Commission. The
truth is, no one, not even Mr.. Nc
Caleb himself, expected that he
would be retained on the cqmmis-
sion. The governor promised that
if elected he would clean up things
down about Little Rock and make
some very material changes in state
affairs and he did. Judge McCaleb
is a good man and a splendid law
yer, but he happened to get in
with the wrong bunch at that time.
