Our Flag.
The Stars and Stripes is th<
flag honored not only by ever:
American, but practically by ev
ery one of the vast army of for
eigners who are residents in ter
ritory over which the flag floats
We of the South are as read;
- as any other people to shed ou
blood for the flag that repn
gents oUr country.
And while we salute the Stai
and Stripes, we revere the Star
and Bars that was at one tirr
the battle flag under which tl
Southern people fought for
principle which they believe
was right.
It is a grand and glorioi
thing to be able to live in

gence and good will prevail to
such an extent that the people
of a once divided land can meet
as brothers and forget the strife
I (that once threatened the dis
| memberment of the greatest re
public in the world.
In our cities of the South
on days when the dead of both
the blue and the gray are hon
ored, the battle flag of the
Southland floats side by side
j with our great national emblem,
the Stars and Stripes. In coun
tries where there was less unity
of spirit and less patriotism this
would be resented. But today
we are all Americans. We salute
the colors of our land while at
? the same time we bow our heads
in silent reverence to the flag
.under wnose ioias so ^
? | our Southern brothers shed
r | their blood in a war whose
■ wounds have been forgiven.
" | The Stars and Stripes is not
'! the flag of the North or the flag
* of the South.

Community Club House.
In considering the needs of a
community, the churches are apt
to overlook the most vital need
of all. Ministers and people neg
lect the physical and social side
of the human nature of the
young, forgetting that the prop
er training of these is the great
est factor in successful moral
development.
The Vestry of St. Paul’s
church has undertaken to sup
ply Newport with a community
home for its children and young
people, with the intent of mak
ing St. Paul’s a church that
w'orks seven days in the week
for the betterment and uplift of
humanity. The property at 307
Hazel street is being put into
fine condition for a play ground,
I the house will be renovated and
furnished with equipment to
attract and hold the boys, girls
and young people; and the Rec
tor is prepared to see that the
work is not without proper su
pervision.
! To assist in defraying the ex
i peases of putting the property
in order the Vestry lias arrang
ed to bring the famous Schub
ert Symphony Club and Lady
j Quartette to Newport,"“Monday,
May 25th. The school board has
kindly consented to the use of
the high school auditorium for
| that evening to assist the ef
fort to provide the community
with an interest for the boys
and girls during the vacation pe
riod.
A large proportion of the re
ceipts from the sale of tickets
at fifty cents each, will come to
the improvement fund. As the
usual price of admission to the
entertainment is one dollar, it
will readily be seen that the pro
gram is well worthy of the at
tendance and appreciation of
Newport patrons without con
isideration of the assistance this
patronage will give to St- Pauls
church in its undertaking. Tick
ets are now on sale at Walker’s
Pharmacy and by the ladies of
the church.

Ten Cents Per Ton.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 24.—State
Mineralogist J. T- Fuller has re
ceived from an assayist in St.
Louis a report on ore from the
gold mine at Bluffton, Yell coun
ty, showing the presence of gold
to the amount of ten cents a ton.
Commissioner Page has re- j
ceived a letter from M. B. Tay
lor, a gold prospector, at Eago,
in the Southeastern corner of
Newton county, enclosing an as
say made in October, 1909,
showing $6 in gold and 70 cents
a ton in silver, from ore found
in that locality. The ore was
an iron-looking slag found on
top of one of the highest hills in
Newton county. From the top
of this hill down to the lime for
mation it is 700 feet. Mr. Tay
lor reports that at the surface
rock was found that showed
gold at almost every test.
In discussing this reported
find of gold, Mr. Fuller said:
“You observe the assay was
made five years ago. Had there
been anything in it, something
would have been done toward its
development in that time. Such
an assay might be made from
selected ore taken from fissure
veins, but it is not at all likely
that there is enough there or
anywhere else in the state to
pay for working-’"
From "Old Slwaoh."

lege life than in our business," George
Fitch said. "Still, college life has
made business what It Is. Fraterni
ties are a clearinghouse for ability and
ambition."—Kansas City Star.
