is inaccurate, or if the drugs supplied are lack
ing in purity and strength, who shall answer for
results?
We recognize our responsibility in
these matters. We regard every
prescription as one requiring the
utmost care as to accuracy, and de
manding the highest grade of drugs
that money will buy.
Our ideal prescription service costs you nothing
extra. We always strive to give the best of ev
erything at prices that are absolutely fair.

CONTRIBUTIONS SOUGHT
FOR BIG CELEBRATION.
At a meeting of the business men
Friday evening at the city hall, called
for the purpose of organizing and ar
ranging for a celebration of the Fourth
of July, a committee of three con
sisting of Charles Meyer, H. Bernstein
and R. T. Simmons was chosen to sol
icit subscriptions for a fund to be
spent upon a program of amusements.
A number of those present spoke of
the good to be accomplished by such
affairs and the duty of a town to furn
ish upon such occasions a celebration,
that could be enjoyed by the people
who live within our trade territory.
The sentiment of the gathering was
strongly in favor of a big celebration,
one that would cost in the neighbor
hood of §1,000 and include music by a
Little Rock band, public speaking, a
ball game, gun club shoot, balloon as
cension and parachute leap, and s
magnificent display of fireworks thal
night upon the river front.
There was some division as to the
advisability of having a barbecue, bm
no final action was taken upon sucl
questions, which will be decided a>
the meeting of next Tuesday evening
at 7:30, when the subscription com
mittee has been instructed to report
The grounds near the lake east o
the Choctaw track, will probably b«
selected for the site and if the com
mittee meets with a substantial en
couragement from the citizens, New
port will have the biggest Fourth ol
July celebration in her history anc
one that will draw crowds of peoplt
from all Northeastern Arkansas.

FUTILE EFFORTS FOR
RECOVERY OF REMAINS
Capt. O. H. Kennedy of the steame
“City of Idaho” and father of the lat
Henry Ward Kennedy, who wa
drowned fourteen miles north of Au
gusta, Saturday, May 30, returned t
Newport Friday after a futile searc
for the remains of the boy.
The river was dredged for nin
miles below the place of the drownin
and two large steamers were lashe
together and ploughed the strean
hoping to dislodge the body from tb
| willows or drift wood in which it ha
i doubtless been caught.
Over two hundred pounds of dyna
| mite has been used to bring the re
I mains to the surface and all withoi
avail. The high water impedes th
work, in which over thirty men af
sisted for several days.
Captain Kennedy thinks that tfc
boy must have caught hold of willow
beneath the water before life was ea
tinct, for in such cases even afte
death ensues, the hands remai
clenched. When the river falls, it
hoped that the body may yet t
found.

FATHER ATTEMPTED
TO KIDNAP CHILD.
Augusta, June 6.—Prof. W. W.
Baker, a school teacher from Missis
sippi county, who married Miss Pearl
' Blackwood of this county several
years ago, and who was on a visit to
her people near Riverside, came in
yesterday to take the train for home.
He attempted, by force, to take his
eight-months-old child from his wife,
with the intention of leaving the wife
here. The dispute over the child on
the street caused considerable com
ment, and the professor was finally
! arrested. The child was turned over
to the mother, who returned to her
people.
FINED FIFTY FOR
GIVING AWAY BEER.
Sallie James, a negro man, was
brought before Justice Guy Smith
Saturday morning for giving away
beer to minors and fined $50 and costs.
He had been furnished with money by
two boys and bought a can of beer
from a neighboring saloon for the
minors, who are protected by law.
After several fines for this offense, it
is strange that negroes may still be
found to run the risk.
