Smoke Pipe of Peace And Form
Biggerment and Betterment
Club.
An informal “smoker” attend
ed by many of Newport’s lead
ing business men, which devel
oped into a permanent informal
organization, was held last night
at the Parish House, on Hazel
street. The Rev. Mr. Heaton
asked as many men as he could
get to attend and asked of these
to ask others; and as a result,
some may have been overlooked
but others received three or four
invitations, with the net re
k suit that everybody should have
■ received an invitation, an dthir
f ty or forty people accepted.
After enjoying a social hour,
a gentleman present discussed
JL UAlJr luc xuavtv/t v/t w
on civic matters and it was the
concensus of opinion that a lit
tle team work with every busi
ness and professional man hitch
ed and working together, would
do a great deal to improve the
city and county and that many
improvements can be made by
all pulling together for the nec
essary changes, which are need
ed for the health, cleanliness and
general betterment of the com
munity, will now become every
body’s business instead of no
body's business and the organi
zation will see that they are
somebody’s business long en
ough for execution.
After discussing the matter of
having a monthly meeting, upon
motion duly supported and u
nanimously carried, it was de
cided to hold a monthly meeting
and that everyone would at
tend the meeting next month,
and bring someone with him, un
less prevented by sickness or
family troubles. The meeting
fr»en decided upon its by-laws,
' .rich are not to be written or
~gain printed and must, neces
sarily, be committed to memory.
First: The organization must
never discuss matters sectarian
or political.

THE OBLIGATION.
“I do solemnly promise my
self, family and neighbor, as
far as possible, to attend the
monthly smokers and, before so
doing, to forget my business in
terests, that my mind may be
clear for the consideration of
the betterment of my communi
ty and my neighbor.”
Even though men may tempor
arily deceive themselves, no (
undertaking can be entirely sue-,
cessful without the ladies’ aid,
and at this time in the proceed-,
mg the ladies of the Episcopal
church added much to the even
ing’s enjoyment by furnishing a
substantial lunch, which was
daintily served, and everyone
! present wishes to extend them
his thanks.
A committee was then ap
pointed to arrange a program
[ for the next meeting, which is
to discuss the following sub
ject: "Clean Up!”
The following resolution was
then offered and, upon motion,
was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote:
Be it resolved by the citizens
here assembled that,
Whereas, the health of the
public in general is endangered
by a number of property own
ers not making proper sewer
connections, and,
Whereas, there is an ordinance
existing compelling the proper
sewer connections,
Now, therefore, be it resolv
ed, that notice to all property
owners is hereby served by
publication of this resolution,
and unless the said connections
are made before November 15,
1914, a list of such delinquents
will be published, and the at
tention of the proper officials
called, to the end that they be
brought into court, and made
pay fines, and otherwise punish
ed for failure to make said con
nections, and to the further end
that such be made by public au
thority and the cost thereof
charged against each piece of
property.
Action was started towards
taking necessary steps for fill
ing the near-cess-pool bounded
on the east by Beech street and
on the north by the Iron Moun
tain Railway.
It was announced that arrange
ments had been made for the
care of out of town children at
the Parish House during the
Fair, and the use of the Parish
House will also be given as a
rest room to out of town ladies.
It was also announced that ar
rangements would be made with
the State Health Officer to have
him address the next meeting
and to aid, as far as possible in
the enforcement of the “clean
up” campaign.
Feeling the ground work had
been laid for many improve
ments and the evening well
spent socially, the meeting ad
journed subject to the call of
the committee.
“GET BUSY”
(To the Tune of Yankee Doodle.)
It don’t cost nothing to Co-op-e-rate,
And them as knocks can just migrate,
And it don’t cost nothing to ha-rangue
Cause we’re going to boost the she
bang.
CHORUS.
Hit up the tune and let ’er go,
Get in the crew and be a sport;
Some eats and stunts just once a
month,
And a Hip-Hurray for Newport.
H.
They’s holes to fill and knobs to
smooth,
And streets to pave and roads that
bump;
They’s alleys to clean, and trees to
trim.
And he as wont help us is a chump.
m.
They’s country folks as buy of us
That we ought to give a hand to;
If they quit cornin’ they’d some go
bust,
And that would make us all blue.
IV.
They’s boats up river as should be
down,
They’s folks as ain’t a usen the sewer;
They’s lots to do to help the town,
And that’s what we’re here for.
V.
Politics ain’t in our line,
We take this method of announcing the arrival of our
new fall stock of ladies’, children’s and misses’ cloaks,
coats, skirts, woolen dress goods, silks, ginghams, under
wear, comfort materials, men’s, ladies’ and children’s
shoes and boots, hats, caps, men’s and boys’ pants and
™its and in fact everything you will need for the winter
just to think they were BOUGHT EARLY last spring
’ORE the BIG ADVANCES, which have been put on
all lines and we are going to sell you goods of this kind
just like there had not been any War Scare or advances.
Our prices will be at least 25 per cent below the mar
ket and we kindly ask you to remember this before you
buy and come and se us.

3,381,863 Bales Ginned.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 2.—
The government cotton ginning
report shows 3,381,863 bales gin
ned from the 1914 crop up to
September 25th. This is 135,
208 bales over the same date
last year; round bales 3,292 a
gainst 26,983 last year.
The condition of the cotton
crop September 25th was 73.5 :
per cent normal, according to
the crop report of the Agricul- j
tural Department. By states ■
September 25th, Mississippi was
| .68, Arkansas -69, Tennessee .70
and Alabama .78.
I * * * *
' Cotton offered for sale Thurs-1
day brought 7 3-8 cents, but 1
' very little was placed on the lo-,
cal market and practically none
Friday. If cotton all over the
South were being as generally
held as at Newport, higher
prices would be prevailing now.

When Newport Citizens Show A
Way.
—
There can be no reason why
any reader of this who suffers
the tortures of an aching back,
the annoyance of urinary disor
ders, the pains and dangers of
kidney ills will fail to heed the
words of a neighbor who has
found relief. Read what a New
port citizen says:
Mrs. G. W. Gochenour, 616
Main street, Newport, says:
“Two of my family had symp
toms of kidney trouble, such as
backache and dizzy spells. The
kidney secretions were painful
in passage and filled with sedi
ment. A cold always made the
trouble worse. Doan’s Kidney
Pills strengthened the back and
j regulated the action of the kid
| neys.”
' Price 50c at all dealers- Don’t
j simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Gochenour had.
