Mourns Death of Old Friend.
U. S. Steamer Choctaw, Millikin,
La., Nov. 27th, 1813.
Mr. P. H. Van Dyke,
Editor Newport Independent,
Newport, Ark.
Dear Sir:
No doubt this will be a sur
prise—hearing from me in this
state. '
I am in charge of this boat,
engaged in a general survey of
the river, our trip ending at a
point called Warrenton, six
miles below Vicksburg, Missis
sippi, thence our return home
—Memphis. It will take until
January in next year to com
plete the work, occupying about
four months’ time.
In writing to you, I desire to
express my deep regret at hear
ing of the death of one that was
dear to me—J. Frank Caldwell
being raised together, school
mate and soldier comrade. En
listing in Captain Morg Bale
man’s Company, 1st Arkansas
Cavalry, Frank and I were term
ed kid soldiers, and were in our
first battle on the first day of
May, 1862.
It is with profound regret that
I chronicle so many of my old
and esteemed friends passing
beyond, in so continuous succes
sion.
Mr. Van Dyke, rest assured
that I have and always will hold
the good people of Jackson coun
ty in kind remembrance and my
thoughts often go back to the
pleasant and I can say from the
bottom of my heart, the only
and happiest days of my life.
I am enjoying good health and
the latter end of next week we
expect to reach Lake Providence,
Louisiana, so you see we are
progressing slowly, being about
20 miles distant from our pres
ent stand.
You can say through the col
umns of your paper, “Howdy”,
to my Newport and Jackson
county friends, and with kind
remembrance to self and family,
and a wish for the ultimate suc
cess for the year 1914, I am.
Yours very truly,
W. A. JOYCE.

Newport Girls Win.
The Newport High School
girls defeated the Searcy High
at basketball in this city Thurs
day afternoon before one of the
largest and most enthusiastic
crowds ever on a local field.
It was two as evenly matched
teams as could be possibly got
ten together and the game was
enthusiastic from the start to
finish. The team work in yes
terday'- game was unusually
fine and was a credit to their
coach, Mr- Edgar Williams, who
worked her girls hard for the
“Turkey Day Game.”
The Searcy girls played excel
lent ball and the close score—17
to 16—was proof that our girls
had all they could do. The game

Searcy Hi 25—Newport Hi 7.
In a fast and snappy game be
tween football teams, repre
senting the High Schools of
Searcy and Newport, the Searcy
team being heavier came out
with the big end of the score.
In the first quarter, the New
port bunch plowed through Sear
cy's line for their first touch
down of the season. This en
couraged the home boys and in
the second quarter went after
Searcy with much determina
tion. The ball sesawed up and
down the field until the last
three minutes of play, when in
a hard tackle Wylie McMinn,
I quarterback for the home boys,
I had his nose badly broken, and
had to retire from the field.
Bevans was substituted for Mc
Minn and with the ball close up
on Newport’s goal a forward
pass was missed and the ball
went to Searcy on Newport’s
twenty-five yard line. Then
Searcy ran around left-end for a
touch down, tying the score.
In the third quarter Wylie
McMinn, having his nose ban

They saw many bear signs, but
on account of losing the dogs
