PROHIBITIONISTS ACTIVE
New
Movement Against Sale of
Liquor in Newport
Newport, April 11.—
Pro
hibitionists began work eark.VAhis
morning circulating a petition to
prevent the sale, solicting, order
ing or giving away of any intoxi
cating liquors within three miles
of the public school building lo
cated on Walnut street in this city.
The delegation in charge of the
petition was composed of Rev.
E. M. Pipkin, 1). P. Gill and <).,
M. Bowen. The promoters of the
petition, which, when completed,
will be submitted to the County
Court, say their purpose to make
more effective the inforcement of
the law against bootlegging, to
prevent the solicting of orders for
liquors from outside concerns and
to continue the present no-license
principle in Newport.
This county voted wet in the
last election, but .Judge H. S. Sim
mons refused to grant a license to
saloons this year and the petition
of the prohibitionist will come be
fore him for action.
PROGRESSIVE GOVERNOR
The re-election of Donaghey for
Governor means that the state will
progress greatly these next two
years. Donaghey is the first gov
ernor this state has had for years
that could be termed a progressive
governor, lie has given the state
a good business administration, is
broadminded and is looking to
ward the state's development.
Hi- administration this time will
take the state capitol out of poli
tics, for he will have it finished
long before his present term ex
pires. During the past two years
he has come nearer fulfilling his,
promises to the people than any
other governor the state has had
in years. Baxter County Bulletin.
SCHOOL NOTES
On account of farming many
students have been out of school
of late The rainy weather has,
however, given many of them an
noport unity to come back for a
tV\\ dai.v-. We are glad to see such
iii&fpst manifested by the stud
‘'ttis to come back, even for a few
days accidentally afforded them
by the rainy days.
There arc three candidates for
graduation from ‘ tenth grade
this ,\ear, Ben Aru.ud and Misses
Ida and Nell Welborn.
()nly one month more of school.
In that time we hope to accomplish
much in finishing up the year's
work.
ASK KEEL TO RESIGN
Convention Alleges That he Fail
ed to Represent Constituency
Newport, April i).—The Demo
cratic County Convention in ses
sion at the city hall this afternoon
placed itself upon record in vigor
ous resolutions adopted by a large
majority of the delegates as favor
ing the resignation of Senator
John H. Keel, for alleged failure
to represent his constituency. By
an unanimous vote the convention
expressed confidence in and ap
proval of the administrati on of
Governor Donaghey and asked for
statutory state-wide prohibition at
the hands of the next legislature.
The resolutions adopted also de
nounced the legislature seeking to
remove the state university from
Fayetteville.
The first test of strength be
tween the Keel and the anti-Keel
factions showed the former to
have but b votes and the latter 26.
This was shown in the vote for
temporary chairman, when Gus
tave Jones received 26 votes and
\V. W. Dutton !». W. B. Chastian
was elected secretary and the tem
porary organization was made
permanent. Recognizing the over
whelming majority against them,
the minority allowed the unani
mous adopting of the resolution*
offered by Chairman Gustave
Jones without a word of protest,
but when Judge 11. S. Simmons
introduced a further resolution de
claring Senator John 11. Keel had
been untrue to his constituency
and plainly requesting his resigna
tion, the minority went up in arms.
G. A. Gillhouse proxy for Den
ton Gland, declaring that he felt
he should represent his constituen
cy, spoke agairyt the resolution
as did 1. 1*. Phillips of Cow Lake
and Alcorn Ferguson. Judge Sim
mons, Dr. C. West, and L D.
Smith championed the resolution
and in the vote on the roll call,
the resolution passed by a vote of
21 to 11.

Grandma Clark died at her
home east of town Thursday even
ing from pneumonia. She was 7t>
years old and was an excellent
Chritstain lady, having been a
member of the Baptist church for
a number of years. She is surviv
ed by six children. The remains
were buried Saturday at Blue
Springs cemetery.
The town could now arrange
very easily and cheaply to install
a ^mall system of waterworks for
Front street which would afford
ample water for (ire protection and
for street sprinkling. By arrang
ing with Mr. dohle to erect a tank
near his shop, he could furnish
power with his engime recently
installed to keep a pump going
long enough each day to furnish
all the water necessary to keep
the tank full. A large water-main
could be run down Main to
Front street and smaller pipes laid
to the end of each block east and
west. About two water plugs on
each block would be sufficient, and
the town would thus have tire
protection at a very small cost.

HELLO W A(iE
The sweetest thing in the world
is a grandfather or a grandmother
who lias come into the sunset land
unembittered. The man or woman
who has passed through the fur
nace fires of life and emerged into
the cool of evening unsoured and
still attuned to optimism and glad
ness, has had a success of living.
He or she has not lost faith in man
kind nor confidence in the upward
trend in humanity. To sit at the
feet of such an individual and
drink in philosophy is a pleasure
that only those appreciate who
have been forced into compuniship
of the disgruntled and pessimistic.
Nothing is quite so sweet as sweet
old age.

WM. CONLEY FOUND DEAD
Body Ffiund Near Railroad Cross
ing in Newport Sunday
Newport, April 10, Mastery
surrounds the death of William
Conley, foreman of a Rock Island
[bridge gang, whose body was
found near the junction of the
Rock Island and Iron Mountain
railroad tracks here this morning.
A long abrasion extended from
Conley’s l ight shoulder nearly to
his left hip and his spine and right
shoulder blade were broken. His
' forehead and hands also bore
| bruises.
The coroner’s jury returned a
verdict that Conley came to his
death from the blow of a club in
the hands of unknown pat ties, but
the local authorities are inclined
to the belief that he was struck by
a train. A broken whiskey bottle
was found nearby and the ground
is said to have borne some evidence
of a struggle. It is not know
whether Conley had any money on
his person when he came to New
port last night.
Conley was between 35 and 40
years old and was single.
ENDS LIFE UNDER ENtilNE
Cotter, April 12 —W. H. Rob
erts, a resident of Rim Springs, a
settlement on the White river
about five miles south of Cotter,
committed suicide here today by
throwing himself in front of an
Iron Mountain train. His body
was ground to pieces under the
engine and death resulted instant
ly. No motive for the act has been
| learned.
Roberts is said to have ap
. voached the railroad track sever
al minutes Before the train was
due. He stood watching the en
gine as it approached him and
when it was only a few yards away,
according to the engineer, delib
erately threw his body upon the
the track.
EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT
Cave City High School Expres
; sion class gave an interesting en
tertainment at the school building
iturday night. The play was:
“My Old Newllampshire Home.”
Those who took part in the play

and we trust she and her class will
visit Newark again.

YOU CAN’T DEPEND J
ON YOUR MEMORY I
The chances are that four or five
months after you pay a bill, you forget
about it.
Suppose that same bill should be pre
sented to you possibly you could re
member about paying it; but nine out of
every dozen bills you pay, you forget
about in six months. Some you could
not recall after six weeks.
Pay all bills by check, and file your
checks. Six years afterward you can
turn to the checks, if necessary, and pro
duce indisputable evidence for every
bill paid.
We will be pleased to explain other
advantages of a checking account to you.
