Twenty-Seven Years
Of Accomplishment

IN August, 1881, the present publishers
bought the Kennebec Journal The daily
circulation at that time was 1925 copies.
Here began the story of accomplish
1nents. The retiring management had con-
tented itself with printing paper to fit the
circulation of 1925 copies The new manage
ment Immediately installed the element Of
growth by. removing any limitation and
boldly set a target which has since kept the
aim higher and ever higher The experiment.
Immediately justified ITSELF Slowly the cir
culation began to gain. Just run your finger
down the column at your left. Nothing
phenomenal, nothing mushroom-like, but
steady, upward climb Of over a quarter
century. Sometimes it seems to drop
back; again it seems to stand still, but such
periods have proved only breathing spells
for greater accomplishments.
In 1862 the rural routes came, and with
characteristic energy the Journal set to &C.
curing the new territory AS fast as Wash
ington made new route, the Journal went
out and signed it up.

ARKANSAS STATE POLITICS

The aspirants for Office are mark

politics.
But in the meantime Messrs
Brough, Hodges, Taylor and McRea,

COMING TO HER OWN.
Arkansas As Viewed by Partizau
Republican Metropolitan Newspaper

The Kansas City Journal, has
been looking over Arkansas past
reputation, and in justice to the
good name of the state and the
enterprise of her citizens gives out
the following;
For many years the state of Ark
ansas suffered the reputation of lack
Of enterprise and ambition. 1t was
regarded as the legitimate prey OF
the jokesmith, and many a lean
column of copy" has been eked out
at the expense OF a commonwealth
which did not deserve half the sar-
castle things said about it. The
razor back hog was held up as the
type of live stock, the Arkansas
Traveller" as the measure of its
musical art, and the chill billy as
the general representative of its
agricultural citizenship, Few people
looked upon Arkansasa as possess
ing its fair share of the progress
and enlightenment which are the
common heritage Of the best Ameri.
can commonwealths. To call it
backward" was to Aatter it, in the
average Americans opinion, since
Opie Read was pretty generally
accepted as its biographer, rather
shan q mere romaucer, and 20 the
same extent these views have ever
since obtained.
1t will therefore be Il gratifying
surprise to many TO know that the
flag of merit as the leading Southern
state was awarded to Arkan.
sas by Che woman's auxiliary of the
Southern Commercial Congress, at
its recent meeting in Muskogee,
Oklahoma. Those who have defend
ed Arkansas as q state possessing a
very large proportion Of public
spirited citizens, despite its down
at.the.heel' reputation, will have
their judgement iorcibly vindicated
by this revelation, while while the
jokers and they who have sneercd
at the state as hopelessly behind
will be con(ounded and compelled to
revise their views,
1t is needless TO say that the good
people of this section Of the country
will congratulate Arkansas upon
the showing made The state has
thousands Of intelligent and enter.
prsing citizens, lts resources are
abundant and have never been
adequately brought TO the attention
Of the people OF other states, It has
suffered more from apathy than
inability, and most Of all it has
been the victim Of that trait in
human nature which gives a dog n
bad name and then hangs him on
the strength Of his reputation,
That the distinction conferred at
the Southern Commercial Congress
was well deserved may be taken for
granted, and this is the most graft

THE WILLIS ZINC NINE
A North Boone Property Which Now
Presents a Showing Equal to the Best.

For many years our mineral en-
thusiasts who would impress an in
vestigator with the sight of some
thing really superior in the way of a
mineral showing have hurried the
visitor off at once tor the great
Morning Star mines, where all the
ores of zinc are on display in guam
tity and under conditions which at
once disarms the most perverse
critic.
With all due consideration for the
Morning Star, which will probably
remain one Of our greatest mines,
we want to say that this is no long
er necessary, Only fourteen miles
north of Harrison, at the Willis
Mines, on the property Of Y. F
Willis has recently been opened a
mine which in all features Of rich
and promising zinc showing is the
peer of any thing in the country
Near the top Of a hill, just under a
heavy stratum of lime rock the sup
erintendent, A. c, Williamson, for
merly Of this city, has driven in
several tunnels and uncovered what
seems to be a heavy blanket deposit
of the very finest character of black
Jack, which has yielded many tons
of the ore and still shows in place a
stratum Of several feet.
The many dumps not only show
an astonishing quantity Of this ore,
but carbonates, sillicatcs and oxides
to delight the miner or expert,
Not only does this deposit show
up all around the mountain at the
same level, but there is ample evi.
dence that at least three runs of ore
exist before reaching the point of
shafting Tor the deeper ore of the
valley below,
The vicinity Is q veritablc Zinc
wonderland for those who know
mineral conditions, aud will impress
the visitor at every turn just as has
the Morning Star in the years past,
Uncle Frank Willis, owner Of this
splendid property, is a prosperous
farmer and was one Of the pioneers
of this section, For many years he
has been doing a little prospecting
as a side line, and he has the honor
of the discovery himself; but his pres.
ent superintendent, Mr., Williamson,
is showing himself thoroughly enici.
ent by the character Of the work
done already this year
A quantity Of the free ore Of this
nine has already been marketed,
reaching the railroad at its nearest
point, Bergman, on the White River
line which is n distance Of five miles
