at fearing meeting Gen.Kama

rhere is much doubt relative
Kurnnatkin’s real nosition at

An attempt to escape to Har
ii, Kuropatkin realized, would
folly because of both the
ortage of supplies and also the

's army, which would undoubt
ly mean the annihilation of his
ttered remnants.

MAGAZINE EDITION
OF INDEPENDENT.
The Independent has contracted
with Seaman & Payne, two ex
perienced and capable write-up
newspaper men, to solicit the
necessary support and assist in
the compiling of a special maga
zine edition of this paper, setting
forth the resources of Jackson
county and the possibilities of
our city.
The magazine is to contain 16 i
to 30 pages of matter relative to j
our soil and people, our accom
plishments and prospects, and is
to be a handbook setting forth j
in an attractive manner and:
adorned with half-tones of our;
public buildings, residences,lead-1
ing citizens, street scenes, river
views, etc., our undeveloped
wealth, which awaits the immi
grant. There will be 7,000 copies
printed, one for each subscriber
and 5,000 for outside distribution
to advertise Jackson county and
the city of Newport. This is a
work which the commercial clubs
of most cities take upon their
own shoulders. It is expensive,
and can only be accomplished by
the united support of the busi
ness men. It is especially prac
ticable as a special newspaper
edition, because a newspaper
carries the weight of being the
sentiment of the community and
and is not regarded as the claim
of one individual. Its prestige
depends upon the unanimity of
support upon the part of the pub
1 A r»m»7C3nanoi» qIca cor'iiroc q
postage rate that makes the ex
pense of mailing it over the
country to possible home-seekers
and real estate men, compara
tively small.
This edition is to be printed on
enameled book and will have a!
handsome colored cover. The!
compiling of the matter relative I
to the town and county is to be
under the editor’s charge, and
he personally guarantees the
work to be one that any citizen i
may be proud of.
The magazine is not a surety;
its publication is dependent on
the support given it, for unless
the subscription for copies is
sufficient to pay for a creditable
issue the attempt will be aban
doned. Such an advertisement
would be the best investment |
Newport ever made and ought to
bring a harvest of returns.

FATHER OBJECTED

Plummer. His Objection
able Relative.
Clarendon, March 15. — W. P.
Perry was shot and killed and
his unwelcome son-in-law, Law
rence A. Plummer, lies seriously
wounded as the result of a des
perate encounter on the highway
near here yesterday morning.
On March 8 Plummer and Miss
Pansy Perry were married at
Clarendon. A day or two later
Perry heard that Plummer was
already married to another wo
man and set up an investigation.
Plummer admitted having been
married, but claimed that he was
divorced. Perry, however, was
not satisfied and took his daugh
ter home. Last Monday he took
her to the home of an uncle liv
ing sixteen miles in the 'country
sast of here in order to keep her
T31 nivirvimt
Plummer yesterday morning
secured a horse and buggy and
started after his bride. Perry
followed on horseback in about
thirty minutes and overtook
Plummer on the road.
A fight ensued between the
two men. Perry cut Plummer a
number cf times and shot him in
the head, but Plummer finally
?ot out his pistol and with one
well-aimed shot killed Perry al
most instantly.,
Sheriff Black went to the scene
;his afternoon, but Plummer was
;oo badly hurt to be brought
oack.
Plummer claims to be from
Atlanta, and to some he stated
;hat he came from Missouri, but
^ery little is known of him here.
