QUITE A ROASTER.
The editor of the Newark j
Journal is quite a roaster. His
rutting satires have made him
famous and fiiends, too, among
other squirrel heads who delight
In publishing what they haven’t
the brain to father. Critic and
ropyist, a lovely deuce. But the
rriginality of the former is due'
the most attention, even though
lie learned the craft under the |
tutelage of the latter.
The Independent has been ac- J
tused of misrepresenting a ball
game in favor of Walnut Ridge;
against Newark. The score pub
lished was in error, uninten
tional of course, but the over
sensitive, self-constituted guar
dan of Newark’s rights and
• Interests couldn’t content himself
with a formal protest and state
ment of facts. He must needs
lash into fury his overwhelming
indignation, for here was a j
chance to evidence his civic pride ‘
and command of invective that;
would win the plaudits of his j
handful of subscribers.
It’s a youthful idea of journal
ism which is indulged in with
recklessness by the Journal edi- :
\
tor and we have several times
been subjected to these torrents
of abuse when he turned loose
the floodgates of vitrol, without
objecting. But it’s getting tire
some, dreadfully monotonous and
it was for this reason we gave
up the mixed pleasure of reading
the Journal by chopping it from
our list of exchanges. This over
sensitiveness and keenness to
roast is a sure sign of conceit and
exaggerated importance, for
vanity is ever finding herself
slighted and her feelings hurt.
It doesn’t take brilliance nor
wit to roast. In fact, it’s hardly
clever, and very rarely called
for. Some newspapers dote on
such stuff, but they nearly all
find early graves, and we don’t
know of any such where the
grass is ever kept green in mem
ory of their usefulness or popu
larity.
painteiTdrowned.
Texarkana, June 7. — John
Aarons, a young married man of

TO OUR POLICY HOLDERS.

the fact that too much care can
not be exercised in the use and
storage of gasoline.
Where a gasoline stove is kept
it is absolutely necessary that a
permit for same be attached to
your policies of fire insurance.
No charge is made for these'
permits and as we cannot always !
know that you have these stoves j
we request that you look over j
your policies and bring them to :
us for endorsement, if required, j

LETTER TO MR. R. F. DRUM- J
MOND, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: Good yarn: How
we got our agent at Delhi, N. Y. ^
Gladstone & Paine were agents
for--, we mustn’t
tell names. We wanted ’em.
Paine was painting his big Colo
nial house. Said it took 10 gal
lons of white for the trim.
We sent him ten gallons and
said: if you get it all on, no pay; r
if you have anv left, return it
and pay for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and
and took the agency. Four or five “
years ago. He knows now that »
his old paint was and is adulter- *■
ated; that’s why it took ten gal-1
Ions to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but
one name to go by; Devoe lead
and-zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago. A
