The Newport Independent is
one of the best papers that comes
to this office, both in mechanical
features and in its editorial man
agement. This paper at one
i time did not express any editor
ial opinion, but now it is out
spoken for Wood for governor. —
Des Arc Guidon.
We could not longer contain
ourselves on an issue upon which
we feel so deeply. The dema
goguery of Davis is too flagrant
to pass unnoticed. The Inde
pendent thanks Editor Judson
for his compliment, as none of
the pencil pushers have been
more zealous and faithful in the
exposition of the pardon gov
ernor’s trickery than the Guidon’s
editor.
MISSISSIPPI’S TURN.
The Twenty-ninth senatorial
district, composed of Jackson,
Poinsett and Mississippi coun
ties, will in all probability be
represented the coming term by
Major W. F. Harrison of the last
named county. The honor of
representing the district has been
awarded in turn to some favor
ite son of each county, and this
being the inning of Mississippi
her only candidate, Mr. Harrison,
stands a predestined victor at the
primary.
In this issue of the Independent
is puDiisneu ms announcement
and Mr. Harrison in a private
letter expresses the hope of soon
visiting our county and making
the acquaintance of our people.
He is spoken of very highly by
his home paper and we repro
duce a compliment paid him by
the Osceola Press:
“He is a man of exemplary
habits and studious nature, am
! ply endowed with the attributes
| making for the higher citizen
• ship, and thoroughly imbued
with a laudable ambition to make
for himself an honorable name
and place among his fellows.”
Mr. Harrison was born in Gol
den Lake and received his legal
education at the Arkansas Uni
versity, forming a partnership
with W. J. Driver. Although a
young man he is a 32d degree
Mason, an Odd Fellow, Woodman
I of the World and K. P.
He was assistant chief clerk of
the house of representatives in
1901 and 1903 and his experience
i there has given him a valuable
! knowledge of the parliamentary
| rules and workings of our legis
i lative bodies.
He comes well recommended
! and supported by his home
| county for the consideration of
| the Jackson county constituency.

ORGAN FUND SONG SERVICE
The Methodist church was
1 crowded to its capacity Sunday
night when a program of song
was rendered by the choir for
I the benefit of the organ fund.
: The Methodists propose to have a
large pipe organ installed as soon
as the necessary funds can be
! raised, and this service was the
initial step taken in raising the
revenue. A collection was taken
from the assembled congregation
which amounted to $27.31.
The program embraced too
many numbers to specialize the
beauties of each, for all were en
joyed, but the solo by Mrs.
Champ Simpson “The Penitent”
is pre-eminently deserving of
mention. This gifted vocalist
has not only a voice of remarka
ble power and scope, but its
sweetness and clearness carry
home to the hearts of her audi
tors the full meaning and beauty
of the song.
Following is the program ren
dered:

CARD OF THINKS.
I wish to thank the friends and
active members of the choir for
their hearty co-operation and in
terest that contributed so ma
terially to the suceess of the
service Sunday night; also to
thank the congregation for their
attention and contribution, which
amounted to $27.31.
Mrs. C. E. Crook, Organist.
MRS. RICE AT REST.
The remains of Mrs. Rice ar
rived in Batesville Saturday
morning on the passenger, says
i the Bee. The funeral services
| were held at the Methodist
church conducted by Dr. Z. T.
Bennett.
The death of Mrs. Rice is very
sad indeed. She and her daugh
ter, Miss Bell, were on their way
to Newport, where they expected
to make their home in the future.
They had lived in Batesville for
sometime. Mrs. Rice was a
member of the First Methodist
church of this city.

Stallings on Ash street was de
