Hear D. Ward King at the
court hoiise tomorrow afternoon
at 1 f>. m. and then see his dem
onstration of road building.
We all profess to want good
roads. If we do, the gathering
tomorrow afternoon will test the
capacity of the court room.
D. Ward King is the greatest
exponent of good roads in this
country. When you hear him,
you receive the information,
ideas and suggestions of a leader
in thought along a line of im
provement that is arousing the
whole country.
You merchants who ask the
farmer to quit his work and per
haps drive 20 miles to hear an
exponent of good roads and see
him create them through dem
onstration w<ft*k, ought to be
willing to close your places of
business for two hours, in order
that you and your sales people
may be present to hear what
good roads will do for a city and
how they can be made cheaply.
Don’t let two hours of store time
stand in your way of helping a
movement that will develope
Jackson county.
The gravel roads of Independ
ence county have been a source
of gratification to her people for
several years. White county in
the last legislature secured the
passage of an act creating a road
improvement district' of the
county which unfortunately was
vetoed by Governor Futrell but
shows the spirit of her people in
the demand for good highways.
Many property owners of Wood
ruff county have maintained
long stretches of excellent road
way through the use of the road
drag and grader. Poinsett coun
ty has a good system of roads
and is now proposing to build a
macadam highway down Crow
ley’s Ridge from the north to
the south line of the county.
Craighead county’s roads have
long been the talk of the far
| mers of border counties. Surely
| it behooves Jackson in this age
of road improvement to get
* abreast of the times and build
, better highways, to keep pace
with the spirit of improvement
evidenced by our sister counties.
We boast of our richness of soil
and the diversity of our pro
I ducts and we have the right to.
) It is not poverty that keeps us
back, but lack of popular inter
est and support of better road
building. The time to start is
now and we hope Newport and
Jackson county will manifest
their interest by turning out to
hear D. Ward King and see his
demonstration of road building.

Memorial Day.
May 30th is a day in which in
eaeh succeeding year, is marked,
in every hamlet in the pnion by
ceremonies that appeal to the ten
derest sentiments of human na
ture. It is Memorial Day.
The memorial days in the
years succeeding the great strug
gle that called them into being
were times of sorrow, of revived
bitterness, of re-awakened re
sentment. The heart bled anew
upon each recurrence of the day

who slept beneath the narrow
mounds, and not all the flowers
of all the seasons suffice to hide
the sears and rents of the con
flict in which homes were divid
ed, in which brother was arrayed
against brother, father against
son and neighbor against neigh
bor in defence of principles
which each believed to be just.
But times have changed. Near
ly half a century has passed
since the fierce contentions clos
ed and faded into the dim past.
We go to the graves now not to
recall the days of sorrow, but to
toll the memory beads and glory
in the greatness of the heroes
whose memories are enshrined
in the innermost cells of our
hearts.
Always should it be thus. Al
ways should there be flowers for
the graves, always should there
be orators and poets to tell of
the heroes who died for their
convictions, for it is the orators
who make the brave deeds live
again, the poets who fire the
heart with the memories and tra
ditions of love that will never
die.—Fort Smith Times Record.

I ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST CO. :
ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made By Many
Newport Citizens.
Look for the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
If it’s weak kidneys
You must set the kdneys to
working right.
A resident of ths vicinityc
shows you how.
Mrs. Martha A. Harmon, of
Batesville, Arkansas, says: “A
member of my family was taken
seriously ill with pneumonia in
1908 andwhen recovered,he was
very weak. He complaned of
a constant, dull ache in the
small of his back and he also
had dizzy spells. He was unable
to work and I knew that some
thing must be done to prevent
the trouble from becoming
chronic. Doan’s Kidney Pills
had done so much for me that I
concluded to get a box, and their
use was begun in the case of
which I am speaking. In a
short time they entirely re
moved the backache and other
troubles. I also wish to say a
few words regarding my ex
perience. For fourteen years I
suffered terribly from pains in
my back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint. I was all run
down. Doan s Kidney Pills soon
put me on the road to good
health and disposed of my
complaint.” (Statement given
May 30, 1908.)
RE-ENDORSEMENT.
On April 5, 1911, Mrs. Har
mon said: “My opinion of Do
an’s Kidney Pills has not chang
ed during the past three years.
The cures this remedy effected
in my family have been perma
nent.”

A Bug’s Prayer.
Oh. Mr. Man, if you have heard
of that Ross’ “Dead Quick”
spray, forget it I pray thee, or
I die. Be merciful and use on
me anything else, and I may
pull through. The mosquito
said, “Amen!” Ross’ “Dead
Quick” spray sold in Newport

IF HAIR’S YOUR PRIDE
USE HERPICIDE
A feeling of uncertainty, a
dread of possible disappointment
always goes with an “off brand”
hair preparation. That is part
or the purchase, just as mucn so
as the label on the bottle.
You don’t get this’with a bot
tle of Newbro’s Herpicide. It is
not an experiment. You number
among your acquaintances and
»
friends hundreds who have used
Herpicide with satisfaction, and
you know that you can do the
same. The results are always
positive.
For the removal of dandruff
and to check falling hair New
bro’s Herpicide is reliable and
often producing results that are
little short of marvelous.
Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and
B1.00 sizes is sold by all dealers
vho guarantee it to do all that is
claimed. If you are not satisfied
four money will be rfunded.

Indian Becomes Actor.
Big Wop, a full blooded Osage
Indian, who is a graduate of
Carlysle, decided after all his
schooling that sitting in an office
waiting for some tribesman to
get into trouble, that he might
plead hi- was too slow a
life for ... fast Indian to lead, so
he looked to other quarters for
a livelihood. After trying sever
al things, he decided that the
theatre was his calling, and he
has proven to have a remarkable
talent in his chosen line. He
portrays the part of Big Chief in
“A Texas Ranger” that plays
here in a big tent Friday, May
30.
