The Doctor’s
Best Efforts
will-come to naught unless his prescription is
accurately compounded from drugs of known
purity and strength. A prescription often means
too much for any chance to be taken in the hlling.
A Physician’s Dilemma
A doctor may dislike to tell you where to take
your prescription, because his motive may be
misunderstood, but he will l)ye satisfied if you ,
bring it here. Our drugs fan short in nothing;
our compounding is accuracy itself, and our
prices are always as low as they can be.

CHARGE ABUSE OF
PARDONING POWER.
Lonoke Methodist Conference Con
demns Governor’s Course in
Resolutions Adopted.
Lonoke, June 26.—A resolution was
adopted by the Little Rock district
conference in session here yesterday
strongly condemning the course of
Gov. Davis in what is termed in the
resolution “the abuse of the pardon
ing power.” Special reference is
made to the pardoning of persons
convicted of the illegal sale of liquor.
The resolution is as follows;
“We, your committee on resolu
tions, earnestly recommend the adop
tion of the following:
“Resolved, That we deprecate and
disapprove the abuse of the pardoning
power by the governor of the state in
pardoning men who have been con
victed of the illicit sale of intoxicating
liquors and in vetoing certain tem
perance laws passed by the recent
legislature which forbade soliciting
orders for liquor in prohibited terri
tory.”
The resolution was adopted by a
unanimous rising vote of all present,
the church being crowded with minis
ters and laymen who were delegates
to the convention.
IN HONOR OF MISS LOUISE IRBY.
One of the most enjoyable affairs in
which society has taken part for some
time was the afternoon in honor of
Miss Louise Irby at the home of Mrs.
J. M. Hobgood Friday. The guest of
honor is recently home from school at
Blackstone, Virginia, and is an inter
eating, attractive and pretty young
lady whom Newport friends were
glad to once more greet and welcome
home.
The home had been very tastily
decorated in roses and elder blossoms
and the hostess was awake to every
opportunity to make the affair one of
complete enjoyment. In receiving
she was assisted admirably by Misses
Jamie Irby and Josephine Phillips in
the hallway and by Misses Louise
Irby, Mabel Stay ton, Lula Wolf and
Katie Price in the parlor.
During the afternoon Mrs. M. A.
Dorsey delighted all with a reading of
the story “Keeper of the Light” from
Henry VanDyke’s “Ruling Passion.”
Delicious refreshments of cherry
ice, ice cream and assorted cake were
nicely served in the dining room by
Misses Lucy Rhodes, Mary Laird, Hal
Phillips and Jamie Irby.
Those present aside from the guest
of honor and receiving party were
Misses Nell and Lucy Rhodes, Bessie
E. L. Watson, Hal Phillips, Lizzie
Irby, Lucy Brandenburg, Mary and
Amanda Laird, Noreene Kinman,
Mary Bailey, Lula Anschutz, Jennie

BANK STOCKHOLDERS’
ANNUAL MEETING.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Bank of Newport was
held Thursday, June 25th, for the
election of a board of directors for the
ensuing year, which resulted in the
following membership: A. D. Bailey,
V. Y. Cook, G. W. Decker, T. J. Gra
ham, J. M. Jones, R. M. Johnson, Ed.
P. Shoffner, J. M. Staytou and T. S.
Stephens, all being members of the
old board with the exceptions of Dr.
J. M. Jones, E. P. Shoffner and T. S.
Stephens, who succeed J. W. Grubbs,
Jno. T. Flynn and A. E. Shoffner, de
ceased.
The statement of the institution’s
finances showed the past year’s busi
ness to have been the largest and
most satisfactory in the history of
the bank and the honor roll upon
which it was placed by a prominent
financial journal by reason of its large
surplus in comparison with capital
stock, shows the standing it has at
tained through conservative and ju
dicious management.
DIRECTORS DISTRIBUTE DIVIDENDS.
A a meeting of the newly elected
di ectors immediately afterwards, the
distribution of the usual ten per cent,
dividend was ordered to be made
upon July 1st, and $5,000 was added
to the surplus fund, leaving $5,000
undivided profits, out of which shall
be charged any bad debts that may
arise in the future.
The old officers, who have proven
themselves such efficient administra
tors of the affairs of the bank, were
reelected, and are as follows: G. W.
Decker, president; A. D. Bailey, vice
president; R. M. Johnson, cashier,
and T. D. Kinman, assistant cashier.
FIRST TEST OF NEW GAME LAW.
Memphis Sportsmen Invite Prosecu
tion to Determine Validity of
DeRossitt Law.
*
The first stage in the test of the De
Rossit game law passed by the last
legislature has been reached. Capt.
W. B. Mallory, a prominent business
ind club man of Memphis, is under
appearance bond to answer to the cir
cuit court of Crittenden county the
charge of violating the non-resident
^ame law. Capt. Mallory was ar
rested Dy Sheriff Williamson of Crit
tenden county while fishing, an ap
pointment having been made;for that
purpose.
United States Senator James P.
CJlarke and the law firm of Rose,
Hemingway & Rose of Little Rock, it
is understood, will take up the de
fense of Capt. Mallory. The state
will be aided by attorneys who have
offered their services to the Arkansas
Sportsmen’s Association. The case
will be carried to the supreme court
ind if unfavorable to the Memphis
clubs will probably be carried to the
supreme court of the United States.
LATE L. E. IMBODEN’S WILL.
The will of the late L. E. Imboden,
who was known to many Newport
people, directed that §10,000 be given
to his daughter immediately after his
death, together with his life insurance,
furniture and jewelry. She is to re

she becomes 40 years old, when the

engaged to be married to Doctor John
G. Parrish, Jr. The wedding was to

In the event that she dies without
issue before reaching the age of 30
years, the estate will go to Mr. Im
boden’s nieces, Stella and Maud
Means. If she lives to be 30 years old
she may dispose of the estate by will.
The deceased provided that $400 be
invested and the income used to keep
in order his burial lot in Bellefontain
Cemetery, and the burial lot in a cem
etery in Pocahontas, Ark., in which
his two brothers are ouried.

guardian for Miss Imboden. She is

BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.
Ed Bond Fell Under the Cars Near
Alicia and His Chances of Recov
ery Are Slight.
Hoxie, Ark., June 26.—Ed Bond of
Black Rock, aged 20 years, attempted
to steal a ride on an Iron Mountain
freight train yesterday, was ordered
off the train near Alicia by a brake
man. In descending a ladder on the
side of the car he missed the step and
fell under the train. Both legs were
crushed. The passenger train follow
ing found the body lying beside the
track, picked him up and brought
him here. Physicians amputated
both legs. His chances of recovery
are slight.
PREACHER ADVISES
LYNCH LAW.
In the east a preacher has done that
which can not be charged up against
any preacher of the south—advocated
the lynching of a negro. The follow
ing are the words of Rev. Dr. Ellwood
of Wilmington, Delaware, in a sermon
at his church on Sunday night, and
which, it is alleged, resulted in the
burning of the negro at the stake who
ravished and killed the seventeen
year-old daughter of Rev. E. A.
Bishop:
“And, honorable judges,” he said,
“if you do not hear and heed these ap
peals and that prisoner should be
taken out and lynched, then let me
say to you with full realization of the .
responsibility of my words, even as 1
Nathan said to King David of old after ■
ms soldiers had killed Uriah, "ihou
art the man,’ so I would say to you.
“The responsibility of the lynching
would then be yours, for delaying the
execution of the law.’
“Should the murderer of Miss
Bishop be lynched? Yes. But only
under one condition, and that is this:
if his trial should be delayed until
September and then, though he be
proven guilty, through some technl
cality of the law or undue influence
upon either judges or jury he be not
given capital punishment, then the
citizens of the state should arise in
their might and execute the criminal,
and thus uphold the majesty of the
law.”
TOO BUSY TO TALK.
Hon. Thomas C. McRae of Prescott
was in Little Rock Friday but when
besieged by newspaper reporters and
questioned as to his attitude in the
race for governor, he stated that he
had been too busy to give the subject
much attention, considering also that
the actual canvass would not begin for
almost a year hence. Should he de
termine to become a candidate the
fact will be announced in due season.
