Opportunities.
Opportunity lies not in the
thing a man attempts to do; it
lies in the man’s power to do it.
The young man who holds
back for his lucky chance to pre
sent itseif fully developed and
labeled i * bound to be disap
pointed. All chances worth
having are created. To the man
not fitted for them they are not
chances at all.
Thi1 pessimist who sees no op
portunities for young men any
more, such as there used to he,
when the men now rich first got i
their start, argues that the
chances are all taken up and the
good places all filled. But it
was the same twenty-five and
fifty years ago—yea 10,000 years .
ago. j
What the pessimist now sees
to be a “chance" would not have
appeared to him as such at all
if some man’s intellect, patience
and energy had not developed it
into a good thing
Oil was a pitiably poor busi
ness w’hen Rockefeller first
brought his power of organiza
tion to bear upon it.
Steel had made no millionaires
when Carnegie’s brain and en
terprise made of it an opportu
nity.
Peter Cooper made his wealth
in glue.
It is not alone the big things
made by somebody’s wise efforts
that are the great opportunities.
Hundreds of men have left e
normous fortunes made from
relatively insignificant things.
The man who first charged wat
er with carbonic acid gas for
soda fountain use became many
times a millionaire.
Emulsions of cod liver oil have
made many millions.
Pills and patents have built
palaces.
The simple metallic hooks over
the eyelets by which shoes are
laced, the old-fashioned “cop
per toes’’ of children’s shoes
and even shoe pegs all brought
large monetary returns.
The simple expedient of the
twin steel balls flying apart by
centrifugal force to regulate or
“govern" the steam engine
brought their inventor millions.
The little invention by which
the perforations in postage
stamps are made yielded more
profit than a gold mine.
A big fortune lay in the silk
fiber device in bank note paper.
Button hooks, new processes
of making buttons, pens, pins, all
have contributed their quota of)
big fortunes.
Why, young man. "opportuni
ties” lie all around you. The
world teems with them. If you
don't see them the lack is in
yourself. Maybe you are wait
ing for great big chances to pre
sent themselves ready-made,
when little ones, more to your
size, lie all about you.—Mem-!

Compliment l ot Our Mayor.
Hon. Jno. P. Paul, mayor of
Newport, who was in the city ,
Wednesday night, on route to
his home from Paragould
fie has been on business for
I. O. O. F. lodge of which he is
efficient secretary of the grand
lodge, and has been for a long
time.
The name of Mr. Paul has
been mentioned very often late
ly as a candidate for Secretary
of State, and while lie did not
authorize it while here, from
reliable sources it is learned
that Mr Paul will at the proper
time announce his candidacy for
this vry important'office, which
he is well qualified to fill.
Another fact relative to the
proposed candidacy of Mr.
Paul is that C. W. Highfill of
Paragould, a member of the
State Highway Commission, will
be the campaign manager for
Mr. Paul, when he makes his
formal announcement. Mr.
Highfill is known to be a most
excellent campaigner and will
be able to keep up the work for
Mr. Paul in a most satisfactory
manner.—Jonesboro Tribune.
Patronize Home Banks.
The South and West have
made the crops, and Mr. McA
doo says the government will
loan the banks the money to
move the crops with. In this
situation Arkansas does not
get her rightful share of the
funds for the very simple reas
on that the country banks have
their exchanges in Memphis
and St. Louis instead of Little
Rock. This ought to be a good
hint to bankers and others to
deal with Arkansas concerns.
Keeping the cash within the
state, is next best to keeping
it m your town, x lie vjuaxu re
lieves every dollar’s worth of
business in Arkansas that can’t
be spent in the home town ought
to be spent with Little Rock.
Whatever develops and makes
Little Rock grow makes all oth
er sections of the state better.
Arkansas banks will only get
$500,000 of the money, while
Missouri and Tennessee banks
will get a million.—Batesville
Guard.
The bill by Senator Clarke to
stop dealers in futures from op
erating is what the farmers
have been demanding all along,
and it is hard to understand
why the farmers’ union would
condemn the bill. Surely the
cotton producer has nothing to
expect from the cotton gambler.
—Batesville Guard.—And yet
the cotton gamblers, brokers,
etc. are flooding this country
with literature declaring that
this proposed tax of 50 cents
per bale on cotton futures
bought and sold will eventually
fall upon the producer, the far
mer. Just imagine how philan
thropic these fellows are. will
ing to spend their money to keep
the farmer from being taxed.
The Farmers Union ought to get
behind this bill of Senator
Clarke’s, for this law may put
the speeulater on his product out
of business, for they are evi
dently alarmed.
Self-interest is the barometer |
that accurately shows the pa- j
t riot ism or lack of patriotism of
the individual. Ex-Gov. Foss,
of Massachusetts, was a stal
wart Republican born and bred,
and took an active interest in
politics. When he did not re-j
reive the honors and preferment j
to which he considered himself
entitled he abandoned the party
and became a raucous and un
compromising Democrat. The
Democrats elected him because
he had so loudly proclamed his
faith in Democratic principles,
but no sooner were these princi
ples in a way to be put into oper
ation than he recanted. Be
cause the tariff is to be lowered;
by the pending bill. Mr. Foss, |
who is a great manufacturer, is 1
moving a part of his plant to
Canada, where he will employ
Canadian labor and manufac-j
ture such articles as he finds a!
sale for in the Dominion. He is
denouncing the Democratic par
ty at the present time, and
charging it with treason. ’’Twas
ever thus. When self-interest
is placed in the balance it is al
most sure to outweigh all other
consideration.—Memphis News

The testimony of a Newport

Can be easily investigated. :
What better proof can be had ? j
J. H. Willis, farmer, R. F. D. j
No. 2, Newport, Arkansas, says: j
“I suffered intensely from -----
ney complaint. I had what I
thought was inflammation of the
bladder, at any rate the symp
toms pointed to that trouble.
The secretions from my kidneys
passed too frequently, particu
larly during the night, and my
rest was broken. I attributed
the trouble to the poor drink
ing water in this locality. Think
ing that Doan’s Kidney Pills
might help me, I used them.
They permanently rid me of the
trouble.”
