visiting among their many relatives
and friends in this part of the county.
Dr. K. K. Kimberlin and family ac

to be gone several days.
Barney Whitlow and family, whose
home is in Barren township, are vis
iting at the home of Rev. S. G. Vick,
brother-in-law of the former. They
are expecting to make Tuckerman or
vicinity their home next year if they
can make suitable arrangements.
The lack of empty houses here pre
vents them from locating here now.
County Treasurer Grack Smith of
Newport came up from Little Rock
on Train No. 4 last Sunday and spent
[ the day with his children who are
staying here while their mother is
in a hospital in the capital city. She
recently underwent an operation
which was successful and her physi
cal condition has shown improvement
ever since.
Mrs. Mary Cash, who has made
Tuckerman her home during the past
year, left last week for Chicago,
where she will make an extended
stay at the home of her son who re
sides there. While away she expects
to take a course in art and upon her
return will teach a class here.
James Strider was an early morn
; ing passenger Tuesday for Little
i Rock, where he spent the day look
I ing after matters of a business na
! ture.
E. D. Gardner and family, who re
side in the western part of Glass
township contemplate moving back to
Tuckerman some time in the near fu
ture. So far they have been unable
to secure a house. Mr. Gardner re
cently purchased lots in the Dowell
& Holt’s Second Addition to Tucker
man but says he is unable to secure
the services of carpenters to build a
house at the present time. That to
gether with the high cost of building
material will prevent him building a
home for an indefinite period.

The protractted services which con
tinued two weeks at the Methodist
chuurch came to a close last Sunday.
About a dozen professions and as
many additions to the church were
the numerical results. The spiritual

increased. The visiting ministers

and the congr- gations were large
enough to entirely fill the auditorium
of the church at most of the evening
services.

Southwestern Bell Telephone CO.
Newport, Ark, August 20, 1918
TO THE PUBLIC:
Conditions confronting us in the operation of our exchange a-*gg
■ k
Newport make imperative an increase in rates. The Newport ex
•
change has not earned a reasonable return upon the investment for
the past few years, and this unsatisfactory condition is due to
the inadequacy of the rates. The present rates were established
under conditions vastly different from those of the present time.
It is well known that the increase in the cost of materials
in the past three years has been enormous. The prices of a few
specific items constituting about 75 per cent of the telephone
plant increased in the fall of 1917 over 1915 as follows: Cross
arms, 43 per cent; locust pins, 107 per cent; poles, 24 per cent,
cross arm braces, 220 per cent; load covered cable, 80 per
steel strand, 104 per cent; iron wire, 103 per cent; copper wire,
\ Jjj
145 per cent; switchboard cable, 88 per cent; switchboards, 50
psr cent. The cost of maintenance and operation has also increas
1
led beyond all expectations.
The telephone company has endeavored to keep pace with the
^progress ar.d growth of the city, and, while our investment and
'operating expenses have been rapidly increasing, cur revenue has
been and is inadequate to meet these conditions. It is necessary
that the Company should be able to earn a reasonable return upon
its investment and only by that means can it survive and meet its
obligations to the public.
Effective September 1, 1918, the following rates will be
charged for telephone service in Newport:
BUSINESS:
Direct line . . $3.25 per month
Extensions . . . 1.00 per month
PESIDENCE:
Direct Line . . $2.25 per month
Extensions • . . .50 per month
We believe our subscribers will appreciate the conditions
enumerated above and that they will agree that oir action at this
time is reasonable, fair and Just.
