FOUR RESIDENCES
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Newport Again Visited by Fire
f
Wednesday Night—Loss Will
Reach Over $1,000, With
$500 Insurance.
Newport was visited by an
other fire early Wednesday even
ing and as a result four resi
dences occupied by negroes at
908, 910, 912 and 914 Remmel
avenue were completely destroy
ed and a property loss of about
$1,000 sustained.
The blaze was discovered shor -
ly after 8 o’clock, but when the.
fire department reached the scene
after a long run the flames had
gained a headway that could not
be overcome.
The burned buildings belonged
to J. A. Harlan and A. K. Jones,
two each, and were three-room
cottages. A colored church was
damaged, as was also a third
house owned by Jones.
The Phillips & Ferguson agen
cy carried $125 insurance on
each of the burned buildings, but
this covers only about one half
the loss, not including the con
- i-Anf O
Fire Chief Mayhanand his men
request the Independent to ex
tend their thanks to Sheriff Snell
Simmons and other citizens for
their heroic work during the
progress of the fire. They also
thank the colored citizens who1
volunteered their assistance.

J IN SOCIETY, j
LADIES OF MACCABEES.
The Ladies of the Maccabees
were delightfully entertained on
Washington’s birthday by Mrs.
W. D. Ross and her two daugh
ters, and the affair was a delight
ful one.
The afternoon was spent so
cially, and the business and work
of this society were planned for
the future. One new member
was added to its long list of
| members.
At the conclusion of the after
noon the hostess served a de
lightful lunch which was enjoy
ed by all present.
COLONIAL EUCHRE.
An entertainment very suit
able to the occasion was the Co
lonial euchre given by Mrs. T. D.
Kinman, Jr., and Miss Noreene
; Kinman Wednesday afternoon.
The whole affair was Colonial ef
fect and a step from the cold at
mosphere into the comfortable
Kinman home on Second street.
The home was elaborately de
corated with the national colors;
handsome flags and bunting were
used as draperies, and the can
dles were crimson under crimson
shades. The entire house was
darkened and lighted with red,
white and blue lights, the strik
ing feature of the afternoon be
ing a large portrait of George
iTT i • i i J .1 __
W asiiingLUU uecuiiucu wiiu nago
and surrounded with the same
colored lights, and near by
stood a cherry tree upon which
hung the score cards, which
were little red ha'thets tied with
crimson ribbons.
All the guests present were
dressed in Colonial style, and if
Martha Washington could have
appeared on the scene would
in all probability, have felt much
at home in the presence of so
many with powdered hair, poke
bonnets and flowing skirts.
The first prizes were declared
won by Mesdames L. Minor,
Chas. Henry, R. D. Wilmans and
Clyde Wood, and the boobies by
Mrs. 0. S. Lawrence, Geo. R.
Hayes, Wm. Bailey and Miss
Hester Phillips.
At the conclusion of the after
noon a delightful four-course
luncheon was served, which end
ed this unusually pleasant affair.
KEEL SUCCEEDS
IN SHELVING BILL.
Anti-Cigarette Measure Meets
Awful Fate—Vote Was 43 to
22—Many Reasons Given
for Members’ Votes.
Little Rock, Feb. 22.—This
morning the Pin nix bill to pro
hibit the sale or giving away of
cigarettes or cigarette papers
in the state of Arkansas was
f-nk-pn nn
Mr. Keel moved that the bill
be indefinitely postponed. He
th ught that after a man reach
ed the age of 21 he should know
what is good and what is bad for
him, and if not it was not up to
the Arkansas legislature to es
tablish a code of morals for him.
If the bill was passed, he said, it
took one liberty away from the
people and thereby established a
precedent.
Mr. Winn said the passage of
the bill would be like a wart on
a pretty girl’s nose—neither use
ful nor ornamental. He favored
indefinite postponing.
'Mr. Keel closed the debate.
He denied that the mothers of
the state would favor the Pinnix
bill, while the penalty under the
present statute was so much
greater. He hoped the members
would be broad enough to vote!
for tabling the bill, and claimed
that Arkansas had become the
laughing stock among the states
because of its foolish legislation. I

REMARKABLE CURE OF
RHEUMATISM.
Mr. Michael Doran, employed by the
American Bridge Co., Youngstown, O.,
writes: “I want to say for the benefit
of my fellowmen that I have been suf
fering for a long time with acute
Rheumatism in my knees. I had tried
every kind of remedy, including an
expensive course of electrical treat
ment, but all of no avail. One day at
the suggestion of my druggist I took
a bottle of Paracamph to try. The
effect of its use was magical. I got
relief at once, and after using three
or four bottles I believe I am perma
nently cured. It is certainly a won
derful remedy, and upon my advice
a number of friends have tried Para
camph, and the verdict is unanimous
that it will do all that is claimed for
it” Don’t suffer from Rheumatism,
Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use
Paracamph. It has cured others and
will cure you. Tour druggist will sell
it to you on a guarantee of satisfaction
or money refunded. No cure, no pay.
Get a bottle to-day. Trial size 25c;
family sizes 60c and $1.00. If you have
never tried Paracamph we will send you
a trial size free. Write to-day. The

How to
Get Well.
Every organ of the body is
directly connected with the
brain by nerves. The nerve
cells in the brain generate
nerve force—power—and send
it to the organ through these,
nerves, and this nerve-force
gives life and action. The or
gans work perfectly when there
is sufficient nerve power. Lack
of nerve force weakens the ac
tion of an organ and it works
imperfectly—becomes sick.
Two-thirds of all sickness is
thus due to weak or deranged
nerves; it is therefore advisa
ble to take Dr. Miles’ Restor
ative Nervine, because it makes
nerve energy.
When you cure the nerves
'you remove the cause, and
that’s the way to get -well.
“Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine
cured me of nervous prostration after
every other effort had failed to give
me relief. My trouble seemed to
begin with a general loss of strength
and a breaking down of the nervous
system I suffered from headache,
constipation and fluttering or palpita
tion of the heart. My appetite failed
and I was so nervous and resUess that
I could not sleep at night. My hus
band. who Is a druggist, brought me
a bottle of Nervine. It helped me
from the start, and I continued using
it until I had taken six botfles. My)
health was completely restored.
MRS. SILA M. MOREHOUSH.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first Dottle will benefit. If it fail*, he
will refund your money.
