Patrol Red River Levee
Texarkana, Ark, Dec, 1-5.—
The flood situation in the Red
River bottoms, so far as the east
side of the river is concerned
today, is an acute one, and pros
pects that much suffering, to
gether with heavy loss of live
stock and crops, will be the toll
of the flood waters
The breaking of the main levee
in Red River Levee District No.
1, which is in Lafayette county,
Saturday afternoon, has result
ed in inundating some 30,000 a
cres of valuable farm lands, ana
reports from the flooded dis
trict ffoday are to the effect the
loss of live stock has been hea
vy. The big break occurred op
posite the Avery place shortly
afternoon Saturday, but the
main body of this flood water
had not reached the lowlands
around Garland City by noon to
day, nor was it expected before
some time tomorrow*
This levee is a private one,
and completes the string of pri
vate levees on the east side of
the river which have given way.
There is hardly a mile of the
private levees remaining, while
the public levees on the north
and west side of the river have
held fast.
In order to take all necessary
precautions, guards have been
stationed at intervals of a quar
ter of a mile the entire length
of the public levees and these
patrol the levee tops, not only
to watch to see if breaks occur
and to report at once if one
should be detected, but to guard
against persons damaging the
levee.
The guards were armed and
instructed to shoot in the event
it became necessary to thus pro
tect the levee. This precaution
was made necessary by reason
of the fact reports were receiv
ed that those interested in the
private levees intended dynamit
ing the public levee in order to
save their own levee and their
lands from overflow
Several hundred bales of cot
ton have been washed away
throughout Lafayette county,
and there has been considerable
loss of life among cattle, hogs
and horses and mules. The riv
er is rapidly falling at Fulton
'and Garland City, however, and
no further fears are entertained
at these places

Prohibition Parade.
What fitter thing than the in
nocence of childhood should be
chosen to represent purity,
truth, righteousness—yea. all
those noble qualities that are
direct opposites of the saloon
I with its debauching forces?
Every heart in Newport that
is capable of being inspired by
that which is uplifting and
grand and Godly, had an oppor
tunity to experience thrills of
delight Monday afternoon as
the Sunday School children, the
ministers, with other Christian
men, and a large number of loy
al women marched through our
streets in the interest of prohi
bition. The paraders wore
badges of white ribbon— white
standing for purity—and the rib
bon bearing the device, “Saloons
Must Go”.
They carried banners which,
set forth appropriate temper
ance sentiments, and waved a
loft the stars and stripes to
represent our nation.
The line of march began at
the Methodist church, proceeded
up Laurel to Front street, down
Front to Pine, up Pine to Third
street, up lnira to wainui, up
Walnut to Second, up Second to
Laurel and back to the church,
where the line was broken.
Throughout the march all sang,
cheered and shouted lustily for
temperance
Next Thursday afternoon there
will be another parade of chil
dren and grown-up people. If
you were in the one Monday,
come again; if you were not
there last time, come.
