W HAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
ABOUT THIS?
Newport’s best friend is dead, one
of the tragedies of war. No friend
ever done more for a growing com
i munity than this departed one. Work
j ing night and day, reflecting the pro
gressiveism of a wide-awake com
j munity this friend caused visitors and
passersby to favor our fair city with
more than one passing glance and
word of praise that was warm. Our
! departed friend carried the gospel of
true civic pride throughout the land
and the returns were two-fold.
Fortunately a resurrection is not
impossible. For Newport’s White
Way can again be placed in operation
and on duty. But how? Who’s go
ing to cause it to be done? Is it the
city council’s duty to do this? Is the
Arkansas Light & Power Company
derelict in bringing about the re-es
tabishment of the White Way? Are
subscribers to the enterprise delin
quent ?
We do know that Front street is in
darkness. This condition is not only
a shame, but a tragedy. Immediate
action should be taken by whoever is
responsible, and if such action is not
taken, then a demand from the citi
zenship will lie in order.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, We believe in boosting
the state, county and city in which we
live,
Whereas, the business men of our
| city have advertised to the effect that
we keep Newport money in Newport,
and
Whereas, all business men of our
city, condemn the mail order houses
and ask us to patronize home indus
• try, and
Whereas, we are only asking for a
I fair wage of 65 cents per hour,
i Therefore, be it resolved, that we
ask the business men of Newport to
give the United Brotherhood of Car
penters the same consideration that
they ask of us.
Be it further resolved that we
brand the ones that are striving and
expressing themselves against us as
a body, as undesirable persons with
whom to do business.
Adopted, this, the 19th day of Feb
ruary, 1919.

FOR AUDIT OF BOOKS.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 21.—Sena
tor Collins’ bill for the creation of a
uniform system of auditing for all
the counties of the state occupied
considerable of the attention of the
senate yesterday, finally being car
ried over until Friday for further con
sideration. Senators objected to the
schedule of charges to be made va
rious counties for audit of books.
Senator Ward of Lee county regarded
the entire bill as unnecessary.

Would You Go To A Blacksmith’s
Shop To Have Your Tooth Pulled?
T’HERE is only one proper place for you to go if
1 you desire a tooth removed. Of course, there
are many places where this operation could be
made, by unskilled hands with crude tools, and
when the operation is over you would have the ,
same thing accomplished as if you had, in the be
ginning gone to the proper place the DLlNlioi.
But how much less pain and how much nicer it
would have been. Of course, you never think ot ^
going to the blacksmith’s shop to have a tooth re
moved. You always go to the
Place For That Kind of Business
What will apply to one thing
will apply to another. If you
should want some article in the
FURNITURE line the proper
place is in the furniture store,
and not in some grocery or gen
eral store where furniture is
sold merely as a side-line, and
where a comparatively small se
lection is shown, without a
thought as to QUALITY, but
only to sell it, if some one hap
pens to call for it, or where the
stock is out of style, shop worn,
marred or perhaps second-hand.
The FURNITURE STORE—
where r. full line is shown all
the year and every piece
BOUGHT WITH A CAREFUL
CONSIDERATION AS TO
QUALITY, STYLE and USE
FULNESS, is the right place to
buy furniture.
Did 50a ever stop to figure
how much time and money is
required to build up a good fur
niture store, and how much it
is worth to YOU? Just sup
pose all the furniture stores
were to close and then you can
appreciate the efforts we are
making in our line.
We know that you have been
buying from us all along, but we
also know that it is a habit for '
you to stop in and buy from
firms who are not in the
furniture business exclusively or \;
order something in the furni
ture line, through your grocery
man or from catalogues, when \
it rightly belongs to us or some
other exclusive furniture store.
Every purchase made outside
hinders us just that much in the ?
building of an efficient store,
anidi we are sure you want a
first-das^ furniture store in
Newport for your personal con
venience. The more of your pa
tronage we have, the sooner we
shall have just what you want.
We do not infringe upon other
lines that are sold, but that
which RIGHTLY belongs to j,
us.
After a careful and consider
ate thought along this line, we
are confident we have convinced ;
you that THE PLACE TO BUY
FURITURE IS AT THE
Avera Furniture Store
