GRAY SEEKS REELECTION
Would Again Represent County
 in General Assembly

Hon. A. c. Gray of Hickory Valley announces in today's paper as a candidate for reelection as representative.
 Few men in the county are bet ter known than Mr. Gray. He has represented Independence county in the legislature a number of times, where his record is well known to all. He is the author of the law placing Independence county officers on a salary, and has also been instrumental in fram- ing and passing d number of laws that have proven beneficial to the people.
 His ability and his wide exper- fence in legislative affairs make him very useful man in the legislature, and the fact that the people of this county have honor ed him so frequently in their choice of lawmakers would indi- cate that they have unlimited con, fidence in his ability and integrity.

NEWARK SHOULD HELP

When Newport has saloons they not only affect Newport but all the nearby towns. People who have travelled out from Newport with train loads of whiskey men know this statement is true, and now as the good people of New port are making great sacrifices and heroic efforts to keep saloons out of their midst, 1 think it but just and right that the good peo- pie in the surrounding towns help them bear the expense of the fight. The Baptist Sunday school at Tupelo has sent $5 to help them in the work. 1 trust that every person in Newark that can will hand a contribution to the editor of The Journal to be forwarded to the Newport workers. Let us show onr faith by our works.

Miss Saylors has a position as teacher in a business college in St. Louis, and the acci- dent occurred as she was going from the college to her apart ments.

ANOTHER NEW
 BUSINESS HOUSE
Newark Lumber Company Will Begin Work on New Brick
 Building in Few Weeks

The Newark Lumber Company has bought M. s. Fishers lot south of the railroad on the cor ner of Main and Front streets and will soon begin the erection of a handsome new brick business house.
 The building will be one of the best in town. It will be 30 X 100 feet in size, one story 16 feet high in order that 1t may be double decked, and will have a double front, one facing Main street on the east and one facing Front street on the north, each to be of plate glass and strictly mordern in every respect.
 A part of the material has al- ready been purchased and they are now negotiating with the brick-makers and wholesale deal CTS for the brick, steel and other material. They expect to have all the material on the ground in a few days and will probably begin work on the building about the 18th of March.

FARMERS ANXIOUS
 FOR GOOD SEEDS
Commissioner Pape Swamped With Requests for Seed---Points Out
 Some of the Benefits

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-RecentIy l announced that 1 would distrib- ute some prize-winning seed corn l have received hundreds of re- quests for the seed and they are still coming in. l announced that l had obtained 1000 packages of government cotton seed for distri button. l received 1000 requests in three days. Several hundred other requests have come since the seed were exhausted, and the names are being sent to Washington this week wit a re- quest to send out the seed. We hope to get them. If you have written and fail to get your pack age of cotton seed do not be disap- pointed. It is just because your request came too late.
 These requests for sample packages of good seed bring us lesson. It proves that the farmers are interested in good seed and good farming, and it argues that the Commissioner of Agriculture could render a mighty good ser vice to the farmers by obtaining good seed for free distribution in small packages. 1 hope you will ask the candidates for the Legis. lature to make an appropriation to enable me to do this next year. The law authorizes 1t, but the Legislature made no appropriation for such purpose
 The seed produced at the ex- perimental station at Fayetteville should be required to be put up in small packages and distributed to the farmers of the State. The work is carried on by public funds, and the Legislature could we'll af- ford to have 1t distributed to the farmers to give them start of good seed, instead of being used or disposed of otherwise. I hope the next legislature will require the corn, cotton, and garss seeds suitable for planting that is pro- duced at the University at Fayet- teville, to be distributed free in limited quantities to the farmers. It would be the surest way of doing the greatest good for the least money.
 In giving instructions to the farmers how to prepare their land for the one-pound sample of Alfal- ia seed, 1 suggested the use of ground lime stone. 1 am glad to

 If the distribution of this al- falfa seed would result in only ten acres increase in each county it would be worth from thirty to sixty thousand dollars a year to the State If the distribution of good seed corn would in the end be the means of adding just one grain to each ear raised in the state. 1t would be worth over $60,000 a year. One boil of cot ton added to each stalk would be worth more than a million dollars a year to the state. Verify these things, though small in them- selves will eventually prove worth while. J. H.

Seventy-siX years ago today, the
first vessel to cross the Atlantic all
the way under steam arrived in New

Of being the first real trans Atlantic
steamship, The Great Western, which
had left Europe three days later, ar
rived in New York only a few hours
behind the Sirius. The Savannah had

before but she had used steam only
during three days of the voyage. The
