i
Completion Of New Iron Mountain
Passenger Depot Occasion Of
Elaborate Social Event At Hotel |
Hazel Tuesday Evening—Rail- <
road Representatives Re
spond Happily.
<
Tuesday evening, December second,
should be a memorable night in the
history of “the biggest little city in
the state” as J. G. Hartigan, so ex- ,
pressively and truly paid compliment (
to progressive Newport. In every
toast offered by home speakers, re- (
cognition was paid to the sentiment (
that any city to be alive to its oppor- (
tunities must appreciate and there
fore be willing to cooperate by en
couragement in the acquisition of new ,
railroads and industries. Every for
eign representative voiced a response
to this feeling in assuring the business
men of Newport that such a sentiment
as was manifested in this banquet,
celebrating the acquisition of our
new depot, found a hearty appreci
ation with railroad officials. The gen
eral theme of the whole event was
that in their harmony of interests a
mutual good will and esteem Bbould
exist between the officials of the Iron
Mountain Railway Company and the
business men of Newport to best pro-'
mote their respective business in
terests.
The event becomes memorable, not
only as a brilliant social function, but
in that Neyport has first evidenced
to the representatives of the most im
portant factor of and contributor to
her growth—the railroads—a praise
wortny amoiuon ana spirit to ngm
further battles in the commercial field
and win further industries and ex
tensions of business.
The dining hall of the Hazel in red,
white and blue flags and drapiugs, the
latter woven artistically from chande
lier to chandelier, following the line
of the long tables, beautifully arrayed
in snowy linen and laden with tempt
ing dishes, greeted the eye of nearly
one hundred seekers of the festive
board. The decorations were the
handiwork of Mrs. Bernstein and
could hardly have been arranged in
prettier effect.
The wisdom of the committee in
charge in placing the affair entirely
in the hands of Mr. H. Bernstein can
not be doubted by those present as
the menu was not only elaborate and
well selected, but served with equal
success, in which Mr. J. E. Doherty
proved an able assistant.
At each plate was a neat and ap
propriate souvenir in a button photo
graph of the new building, whose
completion was being celebrated.
Also beautiful menu cards, done in
twd colors on a gray folder by the
Tetwiler Printing Company.

Excellent music was furnished for
the occasion by a Little Rock orches
tra with piano accompaniment and by
the time cigars had been reached up
on the menu, all present were in that
mood where the courage of even the
modest and timid is fired to speech
making, where wit and humor sparkle
as the foaming champagne which pre
ceded them, where friendly thrust is
countered oy good humored banter,
where in the generous good feeling of
all present, stories and expressions of
regard are best appreciated and en
joyed.
Colonel L. Minor presided with good
grace as toast master upon this oc
casion and by the happy manner in
which he called for toasts from the
many distinguished guests present,
contributed substantially to the
smoothness with which the program
was executed.
Telegrams were read from a number
of invited railroad men, including S.
W. Fordyce, Russell Harding, H. C.
Townsend, expressing their regrets
upon not being able to attend.
1
In the absence of Mr. Harding, Mr.
F. G. Hartigan of Little Rock was
sailed upon to respond to “The St.
liouis, Iron Mountain & Southern
Railway.” Though pleading unpre
>aration, he spoke of the part played
>y this great system of road in the
levelopment of our state, praised
Newport’s enterprise, classing her as
‘the biggest little city in the state,”
(xpressed his confidence in her future
ind thanked his hosts for their hos
>itality.
The best prepared response of the
ivening was made by Judge M. M.
Ituckey, to whom had been assigned
he subject “Progress of our County
Jackson; and its cause.” He told of
he swamps and overflows, when dis
sase cut so short the threads of life
hat tadpoles hardly had time to shed
heir tails and after each retrospective
larration, remarked: “But it’s dif
erent now.” Thus did he show sim
jly, yet effectively our wonderful de
velopment. He spoke appreciatively
3f the part the Iron Mountain had
played in thi3 development and as
sured the officials present of the con
servatism of our people, their friend
liness toward foreign capital and our
progressive attitude in being willing
to encourage new enterprises and
Further railroad building.
“The future of Newport and its
prospective transportation facilities”
Furnished a theme for the remarks of
Mr. W. C. Stith, traffic manager of St.
Louis, who referred to the pleasant
relations that have always existed be
tween the Iron Mountain and this city,
af the latter’s uniformily fair treat
ment of their interests and the com
pany’s consequent friendliness toward
hhis nitv.
In the absence of Mr. G. A. A.
Deane, Mr. J. C. Nichols, general bag
gage agent of St. Louis responded to
the toast “World’s Fair in 1904.” His
remarks were well received.
“Our Commercial League and its
hopes” was the toast offered by Mr.
F. Price.
Mr. J. M. Stayton read a paper pre
pared by a League committee, pray
ing consideration for Newport’s claims
for the extension to Fair Oaks on the
Memphis branch, when the White
River line is completed and it is de
cided to breach the gap in the Kansas
City-Memphis line. Mr. Stith prom
ised to present this paper to Mr.
Harding.
The hit of the evening was made by
Mr. H. D. Wilson, passenger agent at
Memphis, who told a funny story of
course to make such a hit. It was of
the Newport citizen who died and
went to heaven, where he had to be
chained to prevent his return. Mr.
Wilson promised he would not have
to be chained in Newport for he liked
the town too well and in order to get
bex’e in time, had started the day be
fore. He demonstrated himself to be
quite an after-dinner talker and took
his seat amid applause.
Senator W. E. Ferguson of Wood
ruff County, a finished speaker gave a
brief history of railroad building and
expressed the friendly feeling of his
home county, for both Newport and
the Iron Mountain.
Mr. A. V. Brigham of St. Louis was
called upon and expressed his ap
preciation of this evidence of New
port hospitality and goodwill. He
wanted to know if the building of a
vitxnr rlflnnf. utrxnlH not nmvlr a
ship upon the loc^l press, in not, be
ing able to blow up the “old shell,” as
it had so often been turned in marked
copies that were sent to his olfice.
The loss of such excellent subject
matter for a roast, we might say right
here, has been keenly felt, but we are
willing to sacrifice selfish interests
upon the altar of public welfare and
improvement.
Mr. A. R. Bragg, division freight
agent, of Little Rock, but formerly of
Jacksonport spoke with feeling of his
love for his old home and of Newport’s
remarkable growth, picturing a bright
future for our city.
Other short responses were made 1 y
Messrs. S. O. Dowell, Alcorn Ferguson,
and Q. A. Hillhouse, when the band
struck up “Home Sweet Home” at
1:30 a. m. and the banquet, which will
always be a pleasant memory to those
in attendance, was ended.

that large sum of money was spent
we began to get returns and now the
profits are so large that we expend

RED RIVER’S DISASTROUS RISE.
Fulton, Dec. 2.—Red river at this
point, after reaching thirty-two feet
and three-tenths, commenced falling
last night and is still slowly declining.
In the section tributary to this place
all unpicked cotton and a large pro
portion of the crop gathered and un
ginned is lost. The crop loss is figured
at 40 per cent, and the loss of stock at
20 per cent. Many fences and levees
are broken and gone.
The steamer Kingfisher, McCleary
of New Orleans master, in leaving
port this morning in a strong current
and bad wind, became unmanageable
and drifted under the Iron Mountain
railroad bridge. Her pilot house,
cabin and all upper works were torn
away and the hull drifted down the
river. The captain and mate saved
themselves by jumping from the hur
ricane roof to the bridge. The bal
ance of the crew, including Capt. Dan
Darkness, owner, took to the small
boats and escaped. Chief Engineer
Roberts of New Orleans was rescued
after being scalded and knocked over
board.
