Distinction and Character

are almost as desirable as quality
ami finish. They give that inde
finable charm to fine jewelry which
distinguished it from the more in
ferior grades. In all jewelry of

therefore our goods never have
‘ that cheap look" which is most
undesirable in all other articles of

Democratic Ticket, i

(Election Tuesday, November 3rd, 1908)
For President
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN !
For Vice-President
JOHN W. KERN
For Congress
JOE T. ROBINSON
The night rider scare in Arkan
sas has passed the joke stage. It
is now up to the officers to ‘‘nip it
in the bud.
Money is needed to elect the
National Democratic ticket. Let's
raise a few more dollars to help the
good cause- The Times-Journal
has a Bryan "Dollar Button" for
each contributor. Send or hand in
your dollar and we'll forward it to
headquarters.
A woodpecker sat on a knotty
limb; his head was red ami his
temper grim ; for the world was out
of whack with him. He had ham
mered till his head did swim; he
had looked for worms till his eyes
were dim; he had punched each
tree and knot and limb, and darn
the bug there was for him. Not a
song he sung, not a woodland
hymn, for how can a bird with
hunger slim, and gaunt starvation
grewsome grim, looking light into
the eyes of him, get up a voice
like a cherubim, and with melody
make the welkin swim? His crop
was vacant and only a whim was
in the stomach of him. Then he
flew to the river and and drowned
him, and he never made an effort
to swim. His last words were,
"Oh birdie trim, why did you vote
for that hawk so prim, who got to
work on each woodland limb, and
placed a trust on the bugs of them?
I’m like the farmergaunt and grim,
who gets surrounded by a rim of
trusts that fill him to the brim with
wind ’til there's nothing in the
stomach of him.’’ The woodpeck
er then was out of breath, and the
fish that ate him starved to death.
। Notwithstanding the high place
occupied by the American hen in
the estimates of statisticians and
producers of literature, and re
gardless of the thousands of over
wrought denizens of great cities
who never get all the eggs they
want at prevailing prices, there are
still some old-fashioned farmers in
every Southern county who are
ashamed to be seen carrying eggs
to market. One of these misguid
ed citizens would rather ride to
town on a bale of mortgaged cotton
and see the whole proceeds of its
sale devoted to his store account
than to carry a gross of free and
untrammeled eggs to the grocer
and get cash in hand for them.

EFFECTS OF GOOD
HEADING.
Childhood is truly the time to
acquire knowledge; a healthy child
is never still or idle. Every mom
ent he is awake he is learning
something. And all his knowledge
of the world is obtained through
his five or six senses as some count
them, but he learns most, as we
guess we all do, from what he is
told, from what he sees and from
reading. Before he knows one let
ter from another he will look at
pictures an hour at a time and if
he can find anyone to read or tell
him about what he sees, his tongue
is as busy as his eyes. His little
brain must do some thinking to
keep both members so busy. What
he learns from a picture book can
not be calculated.
As soon as a child is old enough
to read, if he is not provided with
reading material there are only two
ways for him to do, either to find
books papers for himself or spend
his time in some other way. As
what a child reads has such a pow
er over his whole life, it is very
important that parents be careful
about what their children read. If
a taste or desire for reading or
study is not formed early in life it
is probable it never will be, or if a
passion for worthless, sensational
print is acquired it will be difficult
to eradicate such a desire. Negli
gence or thoughtlessness of parents
on this question we have known to
be the cause of lifelong regret.
The plea that it takes money to
buy books or “can’t afford it” can
be met we think. It may takeself
denial but better far self denial now
than grief and remorse and way
ward children in your old age. A
little tobacco or a cigar less a day
and you would soon save dollars,
or if those luxuries are not indulg
ed in, on looking around every one
can find something he can do
without or with less of. Better to
give the children less meat than to
starve tWeir minds. Eggs, oat
meal, or mush or milk will easily
take the place of tough or poorly
cooked beefsteak hastily eaten and
will not cost half as much. Twenty
to twenty-five cents a week laid by
will soon amount to enough to pay
for all the reading children need
and a weekly paper or magazine
for the parents. But some parents
will say it makes a child lazy or
unwilling to help them or to go to
school, to let them read all the
time. True you see the influence
a book can have over children, but
it is what is in the book not the
amount of reading that has such
power over them.
Selfishness is at the bottom of
more matrimonial infelicity, per
haps, than any other condition.
When the husband is unfeeling,
inconsiderate, insistent upon his
own pleasures or pastimes regard
less of his wife's feelings or rights,
the home cannot be much better
than a shelter, and often it is not
very good even for protection from
the elements. On the other hand
the wife who neglects her home,
who has no thought of her hus
band’s comforts nor any care for
his preferences, who is indolent
and indifferent; who reads novels
and lets the housework go undone;
who trots around town—but there
are no such wives.
There is nothing that calls atten
tion and draws people to a town
equal to a good newspaper. Fre
quently we have reqests for a copy
of the paper from people looking
for a location. It's an index to
progressiveness of a town and if
a town’s papers are prosperous it’s
dollars to doughnuts the people
are wide awake.
