JACKSONPORT.
The ball given last Friday
night for the benefit of the Fra
ternal Home proved a success in
spite of the threatening clouds,
the drops of rain and fearful
flashes of lightning. The crowd
was not very large, but all pres
ent seemed to enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent. We are
very much pleased to see the
Newport young ladies and gen
tlemen take such an interest, as
this ball was an improvement
over the one of the Friday night
previous. We only hope that
the next one may be as much
better than this one.
We have been advised, though
not officially, that the next ball
will be given Wednesday night,
June 15. Should this date be
finally settled on every method
possible will be used to notify
everyone.
R. W. Anderson was in New
port Monday attending to busi
ness.

Monday.
The steamer Welcome made a
trip down White river Monday.
Mayor Gibson spent a few
hours in Newport Monday.
Mrs. V. E. Pierson and Miss
Mamie Riddell made the trip
down White river on the steamer
Welcome Monday.
The river is very high and ris
ing and it is feared that it will
cover the bottoms and do great
damage to the farmers. The
low bottoms are under water at
this writing.
The steamer Welcome arrived
from lower White river with
wagon stock for Houston & Cur
tis of Chicago and J. M. Gibson
of this place.
Joe Bridger is on the sick list.
John P. Jones is taking a rest.
He is not very well and conse
quently cannot look after his
business as it should be.
We are very sorry that we
have to report so many of our
friends on the sick list, and we
sincerely hope they will soon re
cover.
Wishing the Independent suc
cess, we close. “Sunny Jim.”
DIAZ.
What has been done at Diaz
the past week?
Well, as we see Sunny Jim
wanted us to pony up our excuse
for not writing, I will give mine,
The reason was that we had heen
out on a big bear hunt in Mon
tana and got lost in the wild
jungles and didn’t get back in
time to write last week. We
won the honor of being the
champion hunter just the same.
We wished all the Independent
correspondents could have been
with us. Now “Tom Cat,”
“Guess Who” and “Walking
Dummy” fork up your excuses.
Mr. and Mrs. Mack Foushee of
Newport moved up Thursday.
We see there is a correspon
dent for the News from this city,
but he don’t know anything to
write. He had better get out
and hustle.
We wonder what is the matter
with the H. C. and Me. L. club?
We never see them meet any
more.

erman Sunday.
Jake Franks, section foreman
on the Choctaw at Newport,

township.
Mack Foushee of Newport

A heavy rain fell in this vicini
ty Thursday and was a welcome
visitor.
We see some of our neighbors
are using the cemetery for a
pasture. We think they should
have more respect for the dead.
We didn’t see Richard Sunday.
Wonder why?

Mt. Olive, was in this city Sun

W. had a tie ticket from New
ark.
We see all the young ladies
walk around by themselves.
Wake up boys !
We see several of the boys are
surveying land with a hoe. Stick
to it, it will make a man out of
you.
As it was too wet to plow Mon
day we see a certain party be-1
gan to fence in the town.
Well, as we have about taken
up our space, we will stop. Sue- i

ADDITIONAL WELDON.
On account of the inclemency
of the weather the closing exer
cises of the public school here
were deferred until Tuesday
night. There was a large at
tendance, though they were held
under considerable embarrass
ment. The pupils did splendidly
but a few of the numbers had to
be left off the program on ac
count of some of the pupils being
absent Huckleberry Bill.
GRAND GLAIZE.
Wanted—To know why the

rail?
Why those young men from

A'ithout smelling like a whisky
oarrel and are always looking for
Dees?
Why Oil Estell quit a job that
Daid $3 a day to put up at Grand

Wood to Island 66 until Jim Fos
;er can establish himself with
Miss Bertha?
Why that young man on the
loe Wheeler last Sunday that

oudly could not see himself as
)thers saw him? We feel sure

Why Thos. Humphreys is rid
ng arouqd with the young ladies
