COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Shows That $8,499 Was Subscribed tp
Secure Location of Veneering
Plant for Newport—Those
Who Subscribed.
Newport, Ark , Sept. 6th, ’05
Jos. M. Stayton, Chairman
Citizens’ Meeting of May 24.
We, your committee, beg leave
to make the following report of
subscriptions obtained and re
1 port of our negotiations with the
American Lumber and Panel
r Co., for the purpose of locating
this industry in our city. We
investigated the Kelley Lumber
Co. site, obtained an%option on
it, but abandoned that proposition
and obtained a cheaper site and
a more acceptable one. We now
have options on enough property
in Morris’ addition to locate the
industry. It will be necessary
to change the county road and
move it north about 200 feet,
but have talked with the county
judge and city aldermen, and
feel sure the change in the road
can be effected without any
trouole. The total cost of the
property and the cost of moving
1 _ _ 1 „ _ i. L, A Vin

agreed to, v/ill be about
$5,200.00, as near as we can
figure it now.
The lumber company will de
posit with us $1,000.00 cash as
an evidence of their good inten
tions before we buy this proper
ty. They will agree to pay out
a weekly pay-roll of $500.00 per
week for ten years, exclusive of
high-priced men. • This pay roll
is to be for men employed about
V the plant.
Below find subscription list, to
which there will be some addi
tions, as some parties have not
yet been seen.

is a very bad time of the year to
collect these subscriptions, and
will therefore put off the call as

ready to close the negotiations,
and we expect to make a con

details in the next day or so,
and hereby notify all the sub

JEWISH NEW YEAR SEPTEMBER 30.
% —
How Date for Holiday is Determined,
Astronomical Observations Being
Used for Purpose — Cannot
Begin on Sunday.
Rosh Hoshana, the Hebrew
New Year, will be appropriately
observed in Newport September
30. This religious holiday will
be followed by the ten peniten
tial days concluding on October
9 with Yom Kippur, the day of
atonement.
The Jewish j ear is rather a
peculiar one and may consist
from 353 to 385 days, and its
calendar is further complicated
in order that the fixed feasts
may not fall upon certain days
and thus avoid an interference
with the peculiar ceremonies of
each. Hence-the Jewish year
must not begin on the first day
of the week, fcunday.
The year just closing is a leap
year and consequently Rosh Hos
hana will fall upon September 30
instead of the 10th or 15th as is
usual. If the new moon falls on
Sunday or the first day of the
week, which might, in regular
order of things, be New Year’s
Day, the day following will be
vpor. Therefore
in order that fixed feasts may
not be interfered with the Jewish
Nqw Year’s Day must not fall
on Sunday, Wednesday or Fri
day. To keep the year in its
place, however, changes are
made in the two months, Mar
chesven (Chesvan) and Cisley
(Kisley), in the same manner as
the calendar of the common era
is intercalated in February.
New Pastorate Begun.
Pine Bluff Sept. 5.—Rev. J. I.
Norris, the new pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in
this city, arrived Saturday and

ed with a large number of people
here. He is an excellent preach
er and stands high in the synod
of Arkansas. He comes from
Orlando, Fla., to Pine Bluff, but
he formerly preached at Little
Rock and Newport.

fell from Scaffold.
Texarkana, Sept. 4. —W illiam
Dutton, a house painter, fell
from a scaffold thirty feet high
while painting a house on West
Broad street and was very seri
ously, but not fatally injured.
He fell on a brick pavement and
cut an ugly gash in his head.
He would doubtless have been
killed had not the force of his
fall been broken by some timbers
a few yards above the pave
ment.
