Sptirnist and Pessin,ist,

An eXch ange observes that Jim Jones is an optimist, and Bill Brown of the same town is a pessimist. When it rains Bill Brown complains that it is going to get muddy; but Jim Jones, wreathed in smiles, says that rain is a mighty good thing to lay the dust
 When the sun shines again Bill kicks about the heat; but Jim, still smiling says that sunshine is mighty good thing to dry up the mud. Bill com plains that business is not half as good as it was when it was twice as good as it is. Jim congratulates him self that business is twice as good as it was when it was only half as good as it is.
 These two men, living in the same town under tae same natural conditions see things differently, and the one is always happy and the other always miserable. The difference lies back of their eyes not in front of them.
 They are not any peculiar types of men. They are not confined to any particular town. They are everywhere throughout the world.
 The pessimist goes about with lantern, peering into the dark places, looking for rmeanness and things to find fault about. The optimist goes about in the bright sunlight, looking for the beautiful things, and finding lots of them. The optmist rises in the morning with gladness in his heart, sunshine in his face and smiles upon his lips. The mere privilege of living and enjoying nature is priceless satis- faction to him. He gets good out of life every moment of his existence. He is a man to be envied if envy is ever allowable
 The pessimist not only wraps his mind but his hysique as we'll and his influence on others is decidedly bad.
 Lost Three promissory notes in my favor, one for $100, one for $50 and one $15. The public is warned not to buy or trade for any of these notes. J, K, Thorn.

The Arkansas Educational Commis- sion, appointed by Governor Donaghey and composed of twenty-one prominent citizens, has been fully organized for it's extensive campaign for better school conditions. The first preliminary report of the Commission has been adopted and is now being published in the form of an attractive and very in structive pamphlet for general distri- button.
 In this initial report the Commission sets forth three important educational features, briefly reviewing the situa- tion in Arkansas and the experience in other states that have tried these measures. "A State Board of Educa- ton, Generalization" and "State Aid to County High Schools are the three topics discussed
 Copies of this interesting publication will be mailed free to all who request the same by addressing either Hon. Geo. B. Cook, State Superintendent, and Chairman Of the Education Com mission, or Doctor Henry Hartzog, Secretary of the Education Commission, Little Rock

The Practical Side Of the Problem.

The good roads question is not en- tirely an engineering problem. It is an economic, a financial question as well. It takes money to build good roads and for this reason it becomes a general question of general interest. Unfor- tunately, most of our public business is done on a political and not on an economical basis. Ii is done more by politicians who know little and care less about business, than by capable business men, disposed to apply busi- ness methods and principles in it's man. agement. In time we shall recognize this fact, and then the lawyer -politi- elan will have less influence in the land; but we need not hope for much change in this line in the near future; hence, let us make start toward better roads by using engineering knowledge in their construction and the best We can get in other lines. They will cost Us too much and we will not get as good dS We HllSuI, DuI tNGu lIl0 IdW yer poll tician will be in favor of good roads after election as well as before, as soon as he is convinced that the voters the farmers-have advanced beyond the talking stage and are in real earnest in their desire for better roads. In fact, the talking part of our population is already almost unanimous in it's sup port of the good roads movement, but we now need to arouse paying and acting interest in better roads. There is no time quite so good as the present for starting the work of building a few miles of good roads in every neighbor- hood; but be certain that you know what good road is and how to build it before you spend public money On it. Just little good road sense and plain business methods will do wonders with our roads. Starkville {Miss.) Progress sive Farmer and Gazette.

Northwest Arkansas Famous for Other
 Things as We'll as Fruit.


 Those people living at distance who hear this section of Arkansas talk ed about as fruit country, doubtless get the idea that nothing is grown here at profit except fruit, but they were never more mistaken. Probably no country on earth can grow the diversi- fled crops that are grown in Northwest Arkansas, and all of them at good profit.
 By way of illustration, Uncle Jim Smith, residing in the Brush Creek valley below Elm Springs this season threshed from 95 acres 3,089 bushels of wheat, an average of more than 32 bushels per acre. while some of the land yielded considerably more than that. From thirty acres Mir. Smith threshed 2,025 bushels of corn, an aver age of more than 68 bushels per acre. News readers will recall that some time ago we made mention of yield of wheat of more than fifty bushels per acre made by grower near Prairie Grove
 There are other things that Arkansas farmers make good money in growing in addition to grain. D. V. Davis, re- siding east of Springdale, in the vicini- ty of Sonora, reports that from 1 IA acres of cane he made this season 340 gallons of sorghum, which at the mar ket price of 40 cents per gallon, shows returns of over $1O0 per acre.
 And still this is not all In our column of publicity paragraphs this week will be found an item regarding the revenue received by grower of watermelons, who realized more than $250 from five acres, in addition to what was consumed at home and given away, which was no small item.
 Probably if we were to start out cn ] a search for such information hundreds of cases similar to the above, and doubtless many with even a still better record, could be found.
 With our apples, strawberries, peach es, grain, hogs, cattle and horses, there is no month in the year that the farmers of this section do not have something to sell to bring money into the community. All of which serves to show the reason why Northwest Ar kansas people are prosperous. happy and contented. Springdale News.

FIFE Republican congressional com raittee met at Eureka Springs last Sat urday and named Hon. !. s. Granger as candidate for Congress to oppose Congressman J. (. Fleyd. While the honor bestowed upon opr friend Gran ger is an empty one, so far as pros pect of securing the emoluments of the office is concerned, 1t is an honor nevertheless that aag Republican may well feel proud sf That honor, too, has been handsomely bestowed, for Granger is all wool and two yards wide when measured by the rule that de- termi0es gentlemen of genuine merit. if the unexpected should happen to happen, the Third Congressional dis trict would still be ably represented in Congress.

The sudden change from years of activity of both body and mind to the quiet of later years causes the human system to undergo many changes, chief of which is in the di- gestive organs.

 On his one hundredth anniversary he rather astonished the guests who had gathered to help celebrate the event by the active part he took in the festivities.
 At the begining of the Civil war Mr. Llnthycum was too old to enlist for service in the regular army but served in the state militia.
 One of his sons is more than 79 years old, just seven years younger than MT. Llnthycum' s wife, He has been mar ried three times.
