To the Citizens of Newport,
Arkansas:
■Having received a petition
sijned by a number of promi
nent citizens requesting that I
call a meeting of the people for
the purpose of taking steps to
formulate a city primary election,
I, by virtue of my office, do here
by call a mass meeting of the

take such steps as they deem
advisable.
W. R. Thompson,

The Revival.
The revival at the Methodist
church still continues to draw
good crow’ds. “Wasted Influ
I ence” was the theme of the
evangelist’s discourse at the
evening service. The congrega
tion listened closely and atten
tively from start to finish.
There seemed to be more con
cern on the part of the church
people to see the unconverted
saved than any previous service.
A large crowd remained for
the after service, and four were
converted.
The meeting will close the last
of the week, and the further
good that may be done must be
done quickly, for the time is
short.
We feel that these meetings
have already proven of lasting
benefit to our people, and we
trust that much more may be
accomplished during the remain
ing fewT days they may continue.
Usual services today.
DYNAMITE THE SATE.
Burglars Blow Safe and Set Building
Afire to Cover Their Tracks
And Escape.
Perrvville, Feb. 27. —The post
office and general store of Post
master D. H. McDonald, at Led
wedge, a station on the Rock

southestof Perryville. was broken
into, the safe blown and rifled,
and the building and contents
burned early Sunday morning.
The building, stock of goods,
postoffice and fixtures were a
total loss. The loss is estimated
at $5,000, with $4,000 insurance,
so it is said, though the insur
ance papers, which were in the
safe, are missing.
The first inkling the inhabit
ants of the village had of the
trouble was the discovery of
flames issuing from inside the
building. The back door and a
back window were found to be
open, and a crowbar and other
tools were found near the win
dow.
When discovered the flames
had made such headway that it
was impossible to enter the
building for the purpose of sav
ing any of the contents. After
the fire an examination of the
safe revealed the fact that in had
previously been blown open and
the contents carried away.
Postmaster McDonald is a large
planter and merchant. His busi
ness house was entered about a
year ago by unknown persons
and the safe blown open, but at
that time the robbers secured
little of value.
Turns Up In Hot Springs.
Little Rock, reb. 2/ — It was
learned today that Thomas D.
Jordan, former comptroller of
the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, who was wanted during
the recent insurance investiga
tion in New York to testify con
cerning the so-called ‘‘Yellow
Dog” fund, is at present stop
ping at one of the leading hotels
in Hot Spring, Ark. Mr. Jordan
is there with his wife. He did
not care to make any statement
concerning his absence from New
York. His wife said:
‘‘I am sorry we have been
found here. It will cause too
much publicity.”
Asked concerning the testi
mony of her son before the Arm
strong commission to the effect
that he did not know whether
his father w’as alive or dead, she
said the statement was true;
that the young man did not know
anything concerning his father.

$20 *
Watch
Is of no use because it needs
a dollar’s worth of repairs.
A watch in that shape repre
sents money that isn't work
ing, and money that doesn’t
work doesn’t do its full duty.
If YOU own a helpless, useless
timepiece, why don't you
bring it into our repair
department?
We are perfectly equipped to
change it into an article that
you can again depend upon.
Of course we charge for this
service according to the extent
of the repairs that are neces
sary. But in any event the
amount will be very small,
very small, indeed, compared
with "he advantage of having
a “stopped” watch turned
into a reliable timepiece.
