There Are Times
When a Doctor
Is Not Needed
Of course it may have arisen from
some other cause—people have been
known to become sick from eating
green apples, drinking too much but
termilk or riding the steam merry
go-round too long—causes of inner
disturbances are many, but—
Inasmuch as it is a fact that dur
ing the several months that brought
tranquility and sanitation by reason
of the satisfactory application of the
bone-dry law, no jierson was known
to have become seized by illness and
have to rid himself of his sea sick
ness right on the sidewalk.
But this morning there was evi
dence on a Front street sidewalk that
some wayfarer had imbibed too many
^nd couldn’t wait until he got home
to secure relief.
This did not happen when we had a
bone-dry law, and neither did the al
leys become a depository for empty
I bottles, as now.

CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENT
ATIVE.
The Independent is authorized to
announce the candidacy of Fred R.
Suits of Newport for' the office of
representative, subject to the action
* *
of the democratic party.
Any words of introduction of Mr.
Suits to the people of the county
would be unnecessary on the part of
the Independent. He is well and
favorably known in every township,
where he has many friends.
He is a man of splendid character,
and is an attorney of extraordinary
ability, having studied for the pro
fession while engaged in teaching
school. He has practiced in all the
courts, including the federal court.
He was a member of the Jackson
county company of volunteers during
the Spanish-American war.
Mr. Suits has never aspired to
public office before, but has held
many positions of public trust and
honor at the hands of his friends.
He is a life long democrat and a
party worker of unusual energy.
Mr. Suits is well qualified to rep
resent his people in the legislature,
and his friends are strong in the en
dorsement of his candidacy.
Cecil Marion, of England, Ark., a
former Newport boy, reported to
Camp Pike today, and will go into
training with the multitude of young
men who have been called to defend
the rights of their country. The
young man was called in the fall but
being a young farmer, was exempted
until he gathered his crop, but was
asked to report at Camp*Pike the 23,
which he did. Cecil is very popular
with his many Newport friends, and
is a fine young man.
To advertise your business in the
Independent is to put your business
on a paying basis.
