“Her life has been devoted to
good deeds”—How true and how
full of significance are these few
words, yet the story of her life

every year in a life that through
out lived up to such a noble mis
sion- To uplift the downfallen,
to relieve the suffering, to min

er ideals to the young and bring
comfort and cheer to the hearts
of the aged,—these were the

elements upon which her soul
fed and became beautiful. To
i impart virtues to' others is like
giving,—it blesseth her that
gives more than the object of
sweet charity and builds a mon
ument of reverence and love in
any community, more beautiful
than any flowers that will grace
the bier, more lasting than mar
ble shaft.
And thus her very work build
ecl in her, character and aspira
tions for usefulness that cannot
| but be admired and virtues that
j are ever extolled. And in this
| well spent life that an all-wise
but inscrutable Providence has
terminated, we find a woman
frail in bodily strength, forget
ful of her own ill health, weak
ness and suffering, directing on a
broad scale the humanitarian
work of a score of charitable or
ganizations. Such is the inspir
ation of a life of good deeds.
In the home, an affectionate
wife and tender devoted mother
to children, whose training was
[entrusted to her, for she had
j been a real mother to them, we
realize there comes a loss that
makes their grief almost incon
solable, where the sympathy of
friends does not suffice and yet
in this dark hour, they have but
to look back upon the usefulness,
good deeds and Christian faith
of the dear departed to know j
that she has gone to a rich re
ward and has but passed to a
'full realization and enjoyment
j of the life beyond the grave that
I knows no sickness and suffering, |
j but is eternal in its happiness.

CONSTABLE SLAYS
__ BAD MAN
Shoots Drunken Man During
| Hand to Hand Fight—Offi
cer Exonerated.
I
I _
| Forrest City, Oct. 19.—Roy
Burnett, aged 28, employed by
the Forrest City Tee and Coal
Company, was killed by Consta
ble Thomas Johnson early this
morning after a desperate fight
j at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.
J. Warshavsky, where the officer
I had been called to arrest Bur
nett, who wa sintoxicated and
creating a disturbance.
Johnson says that when he
arrived at the Warshavsky1
home about 5 o’clock this morn
ing he found Burnett in the
kitchen. He had walked
through the house looking for
Burnett and as he opened the'
door to the kitchen, he says
Burnett shoved a pistol against j
his breast and demanded that j
the officer drop his gun, which '
he carried in his right hand. !
The constable says he seized
Burnett’s pistol with his left J
hand and thrust it from him at |
the instant Burnett fired. The
two men then clinched and at the j
same time Constable Johnson
opened fire. He firdd four shots !
three of which crashed into;
Burnett’s body and the man’s 1
huge bulk toppled backward i
through the kitchen door and
fell lifeless out into the portico.
Examination showed that one
bullet had passed through Bur
nett’s left forearm, another
through his neck and a third
had penetrated his skull just
above the left eye.
At a coroner’s inquest Consta
ble Johnson exhibited his left
hand, which was badly powder
burned as a result of the dis-,
charge of Burnett’s gun while
the officer was thrusting it from '
him. With this convincing
proof of the truthfulness of the ^
officer’s story before them, the ;
jurors lost no time in exonerat
ing Constable Johnson.
Fosse Searches For Negro.
Hamburg, Oct. 18.—G. W
Woods, deputy sheriff, was shot
land killed near White Station,
| about twenty miles from here,
j last night, by a negro, Ed
'King. King was fined for an
! aggravated assault for shoot
ing at another negro, at Cross
ett, a few months ago, and was
working out his fine on the road.
He asked leave to go to see his
mother, and when he failed to
return Woods went in search of
him to bring him back. Woods
in company with T. S. Black
i . ±- ’__ i*u rvn_
wen, were iiuiiviug
gro when he crossed the road in
front of them. Woods called to
him to stop, that he wanted to
see him, when the negro shot
Woods in the breast, killing him
instantly.
| Sheriff Hogan Oliver was noti
ced and went to the scene of
'the killing. This morning a
large posse of citizens left here
■in pursuit of the negro, who
! made his escape at once. Also a
crowd from Crossett is engaged
j in the search. Woods is a broth

Evangelist Taylor At The Chris
tian Church.
Evangelist J. Murray Taylor
, preached two excellent sermons
lat the the Christian church yes
terday. The morning address
was based upon Peter’s preaching
to the household of Cornelius as
recorded in the 10th chapter of
Acts.
Mr. Taylor’s remarks fell nat
urally under two heads, The
Ideal Speaker and The Ideal
Congregation. He showed how
that when Peter preached to
Cornelius, the conditions were
ideal, for both speaker and hear
ers had been prepared for the
occasion by a great vision; and
how today through Bible study
and prayer the preacher and his
audience may also receive a vis
ion of their responsibility to the
unsaved and a vision of the man
ner in which they should ap
proach people when presenting
to them the Christ, Ihe Savior
of the World.
Peter’s congregation was
ideal in that all were present, for
Cornelius said, “now therefore
are wre all here present before
God, to hear all things that are
commanded thee of God.” Not
only were they all there, family
and friends, but they had come
to hear. They had come with
unprejudiced, thoughtful, dis
criminating minds willing to
hear the things God had com
manded.
At the evening service Mr.
Taylor spoke on “Soul Win
ning,” illustrating his remarks
with Biblical passages such as
these: Prov. 11:30 “The fruit
of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that “winneth souls is
wise.” And Daniel 12:3 “They
that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for
ever and ever ” This sermon
was an appeal to the Christians
to do personal work among the
unsaved, in order to guide them
to the Savior. The speaker
gave it as his opinion that those
who are not Christians, when
approached by their friends
tactfully and with sincerity of
heart, appreciate the interest
thus shown in their welfare.
This statement he illustrated
with examples cited from his
own experience in the ministry.
Services will be held every ev
ening this week, and everybody
is most cordially invited to at
tend all the meetings. Mr. Tay
lor is a man of attractive per
sonality ,is an able speaker, and
has come to us with the devout
pui-pose of working with the
Christian people of Newport for
| the salvation of souls. Come
'and do what you can to make
j the meeting a success.

Plenty More Like This In New
port
Scores of Newport people can j
tell you about Doan’s Kidney i
Pills. Many a happy citizen
makes a public statement of his
experience. Here is a case of it.
What better proof of merit can
be had than such endorsement?
Mrs. Laura Mink, R. F. D. No.
2, Box 92, Newport, Ark., says:
“My back was weak, which was
particularly noticeable just af
ter I had been doing my house- 1
work. There was pain in my
loins which came on suddenly.
My back ached terribly and I was
driven almost frantic. 1 had
heard so many people praise
Doan’s Kidney Pills that I finally
got a box at Dutton’s Drug Store,
(now Walker’s Pharmacy).
True to their reputation, this
one box cured me. I have not i
had to use a kidney remedy since
It gives me pleasure to recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to j
other kidney sufferers.”

Money Wast d On Dress.
It was Kipling who said “the
colonel’s lady and Judy O’Grady
are sisters under their skin.’
Kipling was right. Though on
the surface they appear utterly
unlike each other, they are still
sisters under their skin.
If there is any doubt of this,
watch the custom of dress
At a recent convention o:
•:P '
dressmakers held in Chicago
this subject was discussed from
1 he two extremes. It was point
ed out t hat the be^t dressed
woman in the United States
expends annually something
over $75,000 on her clothes. She
can afford this. Her rank in
wealth, her influence and her
social position in society make
this possible. The amount ex
pended is commensurate with
her ability to spend.
Take the factory girl, who
probably earns $8 per week; her \
same desire to make as elaborate ;
a display of dress is equally man- \
fest. She does 1 he best she can \
on her limited earnings. Her \
sister of position and wealth can '
do no more.—Commercial Ap

Shoots Lad Accidentally.
Paragould. Oct. 18.—Clyde
Johnson, nine year old son of
J. J. Johnson of this city, lies at
the point of death in a local sani
tarium as the result of a bullet
wound received this morning.
He and his half-brother, George
Tansel, were hunting birds with
a 22-calibre target rifle. Tansel
raised the gun to shoot at a bird,
and the Johnson boy, who was
sitting down, suddenly jumped
up, just in time to receive the
bullet in his abdomen. The ac
cident happened one mile west
of the city at 11 o’clock this
morning. Tonight the boy is
not expected to live.
