SYNDICATE BUYING LAND.
Representalive of Chicago Interests Has
Faith in Future of Newport and
is Buying Real Estate.
We understand a Chicago syn
dicate, through their representa
tive Mr. James T. Cumley, has
purchased a tract of land in the
southern part of Newport. ,
f When interviewed Mr. Cumley
admitted that such was the case.
He further stated that his com
pany were seeking real estate
investments and were contem
plating the establishment of
various manufacturing plants in
Arkansas and the South.
Mr. Cumley said it was too
early to discuss or to promise
any special industry for New
port, but mentioned the fact
that owing to Newport’s geo

ed waterway, her wonderful
railroad facilities, her proximity
to the timber belt, and being in
the midst of the most fertile ag
ricultural lands in the world,
make it a city whose advantages
would hardly oe, overlooked by
men seeking profitable invest
ment.
Mr. Cumley further states that
that his company did not come
into the community begging do
nations of land and cash bonus,
but they came here looked over
the field and secured land that
would be suitable for their pur
pose. Therefore they do not
feel handicapped by ' conditions
and restrictions usually imposed
. by the acceptance of such cour
tesies.
Mr. Cumtey has for many
years been associated with nu
merous Chicago commercial (men
of much prominence, and it was
through his enthusiastic indorse
ment of this portion of Arkansas
and by his faith in her undoubt
ed future that induced his com
pany to look upon our communi
ty with sufficient favor to war
rant them in establishing an
office here.
Reception and Dance.
The Newport Club rooms were
the scene of a delightful recep
tion and dance Thursday even
ing, given by Messrs W. T. and
F. L. Dunn, complimentary to
their cousin Miss Kat.ileen
Harty, of Greenville, Miss.
The hosts of the evening were
assisted ih receiving their friends
by Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Bunn,
the receiving party being sta
tioned at the entrance of the
large reception hall. The affair
was one of the largest and most
enjoyable of the season, being
attended by the society goers of
the city, and was a beautiful
compliment bestowed upon one
of Newport’s most popular vis
iting young ladies.
A half hours’ intermission was
given at midnight, when lunch
was served in the club room,
after which dancing was resum
ed until two o’clock.
The guest list included Misses
Kathleen Harty, Nell Rhodes,
Janie Stephens, Mable Stayton,
- Noreene Kinman, Mary Bailey,
Jennie McCauley, Mary Laird,

Lay Over at Batesville.
i In connection with the report
j that a change in freight division
! points on the White river line
| would be made in the near fu
| ture, it is learned that the Iron
I Mountain will continue to oper
ate trains from Newport to
Cushman, but that the crews
will lay over at Batesville, con
tinuing the run to Cushman
| next morning. This, it is under
I stood, will result in considerable
saving to the company, as it will
i allow the pulling off of an engine
watchman, and other employes
at Cushman. The change will
probably take place Sunday, No
vember 19, the date upon which
the new time card goes into ef
fect on the Iron Mountain.
Wreck at Diaz.
Two freight trains had a head
on collision at Diaz Wednesday
night, says the Batesville Guard,
killing five horses and injuring
a number more, disabling the
engines, demolishing a number
of cars, and tearing the track up
| so badly that several hours were
; required in which to clear the
i line for traffic.. The horses killed
and injured in the wreck belong
ed to Contractor Ben Reynolds,
who hqfl been at work on the
White River road at Bergman.
The wreck is said to have been
caused by the failure of the dis
i patcher to give the south bound
| train orders against the north
| bound.

Hurry
and
Worry
Hurry, like a cyclone, whirls
you along at a rate that
quickly exhausts your energy,
and leaves you a nerveless,
wretched, broken-down phys- j
ical wreck.
Worry accomplishes the' j
same results in another way. j
It drags you through the dark,
gloomy tunnel of forbodings,
wrecks your nerves and breaks
down the constitution. |
Then don’t hurry; don’t
worry. But you will; and
your nerveless, exhausted con
dition brings headaches, neu- i
ralgia, heart, stomach, Ijver i
and kidney troubles. The thing
to do is; Strengthen the nerves
with Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
