$10.00 on tRc retail dealer and $25.01
on the whujb'saler. The fund thus de
rived to be placed at the disposal o
the Public; Health department to con
duct a campaign of'education in tin
‘schools to point out the evils in th<
use of tobacco by minors. The bil
licenses the sale of cigarettes tc
adults only and a sale to a minoi
surrenders th^ license of the guilty
dealer as well as imposes a stiff fine
and possible jail sentence. The dealer
may secure another license if the State
Board of H-j^Jth desires to give him j
another chan^S^u^ a bond of $1000
will be required r -d should he a sec
ond time violate the law, this will be
forfeitted to the state. This bill has the
support, of many prosecuting attor
neys who declare it is preferable to
the present unenforcible anti-cigar
ette law. It has the support of the
State Board of Health which declares
that the cigarette is the least harmful
manner in which tobacco may be used
despite the popular prejudice to the
contrary.

OIL IN ARKANSAS.
• *■'
A person does not lpjve to be a resi
dent of El Dorado to appreciate the
value of the newly found oil wells to
this state. We do not have to have oil
in our own county to reap the reward
of being in an oil.state. El Dorado is a
long way from Newport but the in
flux of strangers will not all find de
sirable locations in that vicinity anc
I will be on the lookout for a different
I clime.
The chamber of commerce of Hot
j Springs issued circulars, which were
scattered over Union county calling at
tention to the possibilities of oil in
thaft city. Some home seeker, dis
appointed with the shortage of leases
will probably look the vapor city ovei
in an effort to locate a home.
Arkansas, the state of most natural
resources is rapidly coming into its
own. Oil has been found and no doubt
the succeeding years will see this
state showing the same rapidity of
growth as did Texas and Oklahoma in
the oil days.
Newport should be on the lookout
for homeseekers. Nothing is more de
sirable than new families, thrifty
farmers especially and every induce
ment that the county has to offei
should be thrown into the eyes of the
public.
BETTER TIMES COMING.
The newspapers of today herald
^he coming of prosperous times. Not

GOVERNOR M’RAE’S
FIRST PROCLAMATION.
With the incoming administration
j of Thomas C. McRae as governor
I there is placed before the Christian
people of this commonwealth a chal
lenge to arise and perform the duty
placed upon them by existing circum
stances. A wave of crime and unlaw
ful acts are .ssgpeping the nation at
large and never before was there such
a vital need of cooperation of the
citizenry and the law of the land.
These needs are made apparent in the
governor’s proclamation and from the
pen of this competent leader comes
the request thn'1 we gather in our
churches and call to mind the need of
law observance and enforcement.
The leaders of the churches of
Newport felt that this call should not
go unheeded and have made arrange-1
ments to hold at the Methodist church!
next Sunday morning, January 23, a
union service for the ' purpose of
showing the people the unity of
thought of the christan leaders upon
the subject. A number of speakers will
address the meeting and a special
musical program has been prepared.
You as a citizen of this city and
state are called upon to be present and
lend your presence and influence to
the successful termination of this for
ward step.
DOSEN’T HAVE MUCH FAITH
IN LEGISLATURE CENTER.
The Hoxie Tribune in an editorial
printed in the weekly edition of Jan
uary 14th, discusses at some length
the situation in the Arkansas Legis
lature as it is now constituted.
In a caption printed over the front!|
page of his sheet, the editor says:
“We print the news; our editorials
are our own; we invite the views of
others.” So taking the gentlemen at
his word we reprint his article for
the express purpose of commenting
thereon.
“The Arkansas legislature is now
in session. (We tried to put an ex
clamation point after that sentence
but not a one in the office would stand
up.) With an intellect no stronger
than Lee Cazort presiding over the:
Senate and Joe Joiner directing the
destinies of the House, aided and
abetted by men like our own Jeff
Doyle and James Monroe Street of
Sharp, Gov. T. C. McRae is going tc
find it pretty hard to carry out ail his
promises to the people. But here’s
hoping he may succeed, and write his
name high on the scroll of fame where
long ago the angels wrote such names
is Augustus H. Garland, James H
3erry, James P. Clarke and Jeff
Javis.”
With what success Governor McRae
vill put over his program is not yet
n evidence, but after a second glance
t the bilb already introduced we are
rone to think that our friend is “All
Prong” and that the program as out
ned in McRae’s speech following his
lection is being successfully carried
at by such men as Cazort, Goff
mith, etc.

HANKINS GLEANINGS.
; Old Hankins is still on the globe.
' Things are ordinarly lively.
We are having another splendid
school, this makes the fourth term for
N. H. Holbrook. All the grades are
; advancing nicely. In last year’s school
four pupils received their eighth grade
diplomas and Mr. Holbrook states that ,
the eighth grade class will be promot
ed this year, which I think is a pretty
good recommendation for our teacher
and school. Mr. Holbrook kindly asks •
i the hearty cooperation of the patrons ^
i of the district as itis impossible to (
j have a good school without it. j 1
| The school is the social center of a *
community and is the place to mold i
'the conduct of boys and girls for fu- 1
ture life. The way the school advances f
depends on the personality of said,
teacher. A community is never no bet- j
ter than its school. You show me a j
prosperous school and I will show you ir
a prosperous community. You show
me a sorry school and I will show you
a sorry community.
We have prayer meeting every
Wednesday night at Hankins and
preaching on Saturday and first day
meeting on Sunday. Eld. Slatton is
working and preaching for the Hank
ins church or Church of Christ at
Hankins.
Most people are done picking cot
ton.
Darby Bros, are cutting right of^
way on Tomcat creek for a dredge
ditch system.
Tom Kogen is learning to hunt rab
)its.
Mr. Sol Sullins still trades horses.
The Hankins basket ball team will
day Grubbs high school in a week or
wo. The Hankins team is preparing
0 meet the challenge which will
>robabIy be Saturday week. No cer
ain time is set.
Mr. Jewel Smith has moved from
lankins vicinity to W. A. Ford's
arm.
Mr. Walter Lewis has moved back
1 his old home place.
Well, Mr. Editor, maybe I will be
better humor next time.
Good luck to all.
Sunshine Bill.
