That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
nervous system.
People can’t help feeling lazy and worn
out if impure blood flowing through all
the organs is poisoning them and para
lyzing their activity.
Spring is the season of blood impurity.
Nine people out of ten would feel better
through use of
SELLS’ SARSAPARILLA.
This is a blood purifier that really puri
fies. Pure rich blood means buoyant
health. Be your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

PIG30TT TO POPLAR BLUFF.
Preliminary Survey From Piggott To
Poplar Bluff—Latter City Has
Confidence In Construction Of
Road.
It now begins to look as though the
proposed new railroad from Piggott,
Ark., to Poplar Bluff is a fixed fact,
says the Poplar Bluff Republican. B.
T. Brookfield, the chief surveyor for
the new road, finished the preliminary
survey from Kennett to Poplar Bluff
Saturday evening. The permanent
location of the road has been made
from Piggott to Kennett and from
Kennett to a point near Gillie Bluff, in
Butler county. Mr. Brookfield and
party left Monday for Gillie Bluff and
will commence at once to get the lo
cation for the road from that place to
this city. Mr. Brookfield thinks the
survey will be absolutely completed
within the next few weeks and by
July 1st work will have been com
menced on the new road.
The name of the present incorpora
tion is the Piggott, St. Louis & South
western railroad, but will be changed
at the next meeting, called to meet in
Piggott tl i i month, to the Piggott,
Kennett & Poplar Bluff railroad. Pop
lar Bluff is to be a terminus of the
road.
SIXTEEN MILE FRISCO CUT-OFF.
By next fall the construction of the
cut-off to reduce the distance between
Memphis and Luxora, Ark., on the
Frisco system will have been com
pleted. Actual construction work ie
scheduled to be commenced early this
month, and when it is once under way
it will be pushed to as early a com
pletion as possible. The cut-off will be
built from Big Creek, on the Frisca
main line, to Evadale, on the Luxora
branch. It will be sixteen and a hall
miles long, and will reduce the pres
ent distance between those two points,
via Deckerville, six and a half miles.
Besides building the Evadale-Big
Creek cut-off, the Frisco will rebuild
the Luxora branch between Evadale
and Luxora, where it connects with
the St. Louis, Memphis & Southeast
ern lines of the Frisco. The short
curves in the line will be eliminated,
and the track will be relaid. Stee!
rails of 70 pounds weight will replace
the present 66 pound rails. New
crossties, good rock ballast and othei
roadbed improvements will be pro
vided. The line, when completed,
will be capable of handling the heavi
est trains on the system.
It is estimated by Engineer Hannt
that the cost of the cut-off and track
rebuilding will be from $360,000 tc
$400,000. The sixteen miles of roac
between Evadale and Deckerville, thf
present main line junction point, will
be abandoned after a time. The rea
sons of the Frisco in making these im
provements are to make the Luxor*
branch fit for trunk line service, as ii
will form a portion of the St. Louis
Memphis trunk line the Frisco wil
have completed this summer. Tbert
is but a small gap to be built abov<

nection into St. Louis will be com
BUSINESSMEN
WANT CELEBRATION
i
Business men are talking of a Fourtl
l of July celebration for Newport tbii
i year, that will include a program o
barbecue, balloon ascension and fire
works, and subscriptions will be askei
, for the event.
Charles Meyer is leading the movi
ment and his argument that from i
' business standpoint alone, such
1 demonstration of our patriotism an
' hospitality would pay, cannot be con
• troverted, for the history of pas
years shows that through neglect t<
have something going on in our owi
r town, many of our people go else
where to spend their money as well a
the day.
Let’s get together and upon the da
when our nation celebrates her inde
pendence from the tyranny of a foi
eign power, demonstrate that not
city in the land has a more loyal an
enterprising population than New
port.

DANGER POINT
WILL BE PASSED.
White River Reaches Stand At Bates
ville But Reports From Black
River Points Promise Further
Rise.
Less than two feet of water will put
White River over the danger line,
which is certain to be passed within
the next forty eight hours. At three
o’clock, Wednesday afternoon, the
Newport guage showed a depth of 24
feet over low water level, a rise of
nearly two feet in the past twenty
four hours.
Reports from the Upper White are
very encouraging, but those from
Black River points are uncertain and
conflicting. At North Fork, a fall of
18 inches was registered Tuesday
night. At Batesville, the river
reached a stand Wednesday at 20 feet.
Black river is rising at Elgin and
Pocahontas wires that the river has
made a rise of fourteen feet there
from the effect of the recent rains.
Black river brings the overflows of
this section, because they are heaped
upon the crest of White river’s rise
and many are fearful of an extremely
high stage of water. None doubt that
the danger line will be passed and the
question is how far.
A depth of 26 feet will devastate
much lowland country in cultivation
and with three more feet of water at
least 12,000 acres of cotton land in
Jackson and Independence countie?
will be submerged.
TUCKER ROBBED BY NEGROES.
E. G. Tucker, a tenant on the Chas
tain farm below town, was held up
Tuesday night between nine and ter
o’clock on the Iron Mountain railroad
opposite the lower compress while or
his way home and relieved of what
pocket change he had, $1.45, by two
negroes, one of whom held a gun ir
his face, while the other searched hit
person for valuables..
Tucker returned to town armed anc
told the officers his story, but as hi
could not describe the negroes well
there is little chance of catching them
As Tucker left the negroes, he looke<
back and a pistol shot was fired, prob
ably to frighten him.
Such hold-ups are getting to be s
frequent occurrence on our streets a
night and the officers are convince!
that vagrants are the guilty partiee
Men without a source of living, idler:
and loafers, who come by what littli
they secure dishonestly, can be madi
to work upon the streets or forced ti
find more congenial climes. An en
forcement of this ordinance is foum
to be an effective way of ridding i
city of that class of petty criminals
Newport needs the rigid enforcemen
of such a law against both whites am
blacks, who come within its pale.
OPPOSES THIRD TERM.
K
I
The Jonesboro Enterprise, an ar
dent supporter of Governor Davi
heretofore, says: “The Enterpris
does not believe th it the Democrac
of Arkansas wants Governor Davi
for a third term, and we say this in n
' spirit of abuse or contempt. But h
is not harmonious, and besides it i
, not customary to elect men to thir
, terms in this country. If it is
f vindication he seeks—could he nc
. with more surety obtain it in th
j courts? If it’s honor he seeks, be bs
already had that—is it money he seek:
. then let him buy a country newspapt
t somewhere and run it, and the dollai
t will deluge him. He has no businet
j with a third term.”
IRON MOUNTAIN TO
PUSH IMMIGRATION.
j E. E. Barclay, an immigration agent
1 of the Iron Mountain from St. Louie,
was here Wednesday morning with a..v ^
party of six capitalists from Pittsbunm^” affair
Pa., on their way up the BatesV:?
extension to look over the miners
lands of North Arkansas. e
The Iron Mountain proposes to ^
push this section of the state before
the attention of Eastern and Northern t
home-seekers by advertising the re- g
sources and wealth of Northern Ar- ei
kansas and Newport is to be given a u
chance at the parties thus interested, in
if proper attention will be shown
them. , A|
Mr. Barclay stated while here 11^ tb”
he expected to bring a large par .
down in the near future and wour bg
include in his program, a day’s stop Q{
over at Newport if the Oommercia
League of this city would arrange tc
receive these visitors and show them
over our city. Jg| "jiJjL
The offer should be promptly ad- i
cepted and our citizens by enter'^'w ■ K
ing into this work of the railroads.\t» €
would soon lind it profitable to them- \ ^
selves in building up the town. V 6
