Additional Locals
Mrs. L. T. Threlkeld of Hazel street
i entertained her class in the Christian
j Sunday school, The Loyal Daughters,
' New Year’s evening with a dinner
, that was one of the many little at
j tractive affairs of the New Year.
The table was done in Christmas
! colors and a course dinner was serv
ed which delighted the* palate of the
: guests. Games and music followed
he dinner.
Miss Mabel Stayton left Sunday
for Nashville, Tenn., where she will
spend two or three months in the
Peabody State Normal, taking a
special course in Home economics.
Miss Stayton’s many friends are
ph ased to know she is one of the most
efficient canning club agents, having
finished a very successful year’s
work in Chicot county, and is taking a
special course in preparation for the
work of the coming year.
Circuit Clerk R. W, Bandy went to
Tuekerman today to look after busi
ness interests and meet his old
friends. Mr. Bandy yesterday began
his second term as circuit clerk.
Since 1874 Mr. Bandy has served
Jackson county as circuit clerk nine
terms and*eight terms as deputy cir
cuit clerk. He was sheriff also for
two terms. He is one of the most
popular men who ever held public of
fice in the county, as his official re
cord will indicate.
The first numbers of the High
School Lyceum Course will be at the
auditorium Friday evening at eight
| o’clock. The number will be the
j Smith-Spring-Holte Opera Company,
; one of the very best numbers on the
list. On next Monday the second
number will come and is a lecturer,
j Montiville Flowers, a nation-wide
lecturer, and he should be heard by
I every man and woman in Newport.
The two numbers coming so close to
I geth: r is caused by the influenza,
j which caused the cancelling of dates,
giving the school two attractions this
! month instead of one as had been
j planned. The course is a very strong
j one, having especially fine musical
I numbers.
T
Lieutenant Albert Bevans passed
j through here last evening on a spe
j cial 4roop train going to Hot Springs.
I The train was carrying wounded sol
i diers only, who will enter the Army
j and Navy Hospital. Some of the sol
I diers had arrived from France only
| two days ago and ware immediately
put on the train and started south
ward from Camp Merrett. It is stat
ed that relatives of many on' the
train had received word that they
were injured, missing or dead, and
that, as soon as they reached Hot
Springs the wound id boys were to
wire home their safety as soon as
they reached the Vapor City. Lieut.
Bevans expects to return here to
il ght to spend a day if he possibly
can.
BUICK PRICES REVISED.
An interview with Mr. P. H. Van
Dyke, local Buick distributor, makes
certain that the puichaser of a Buick
car between now and the end of the
1919 season is not running any
chance that the price will be subject
to further change during that period.
“I have just received a letter from
the Home Office,” said Mr. Van Dyke,
“containing the revised price sched
ule effective January first, 1919 cov-'
ering the various Buick models dur
ing the remainder of the season. Four
models have b^en reduced in price and
the other two remain untouched.
“There has been considerable spec
ulation as to what the Buick Motor
Company was going to do about the
prices of their cars, as the close of
Ih? war left things in such an uncer
tain condition regarding the price and
quantities of raw material available
| that a good many people felt.it would
be impossible for the really big man
i ufacturei s to find their bearings for
! some time to come. •
j “This prompt action. on the part
| of the Company shows that they have
j been able to clear the situation up
| sooner than anybody expected, and I
! for one am delighted with the an
nouncement so early in the season.
“Their war orders which have been
i demanding the major part of their
energies have been completed and the
announcement of the present prices
is evidence that the Buick Motor
Company now has a measure of the
situation and sufficient material is
in sight that will permit laying out a
definite building schedule which again
oves the buyer of a Buick automo
bile is at all times protected against
unwarranted price changes.”
