JACKSONPORT.
Elmo Riddell and Miss Mamie
were in Newport Tuesday.
We can see a great improve
ment in our town lately.
The steamer Welcome departed
for Elgin Tuesday evening.
S. W. McFarland and family
] were visiting in Jacksonport
Sunday.
Miss Mamie Riddell visited
Miss Carrie Strider last Friday
and Saturday.
Jacksonport people seldom
drive to Newport on Sunday.
Our town isn’t so bad after all.
The Jacksonport Singletree
Company’s plant is busy and you
can hear the hum of the planer
and lathes all over town.
The White River Cooperage
Company have built a large new
mill shed and are covering it with
sheet steel, 8,000 square feet, I
believe.
Jacksonport is a great Sunday
resort for Newport citizens. They
come to the old town m boats,
on horseback, in buggies, hacks
and carriages.
The cry of mad dog echoed
through our streets Sunday. The
citizens were running in all direc
tions. J. M. Gibson directed a
few shots in the dog’s direction
and did considerable damage,
j John P. Jones, the constable, put
on the finishing touches.
Bro. Jernigan, the presiding
elder, preached a fine sermon at
the Methodist church Sunday
night. There was an exception
ally good attendance. His sub
ject was the liquor traffic, or the
j evils of the whisky habit. He
| made some very good compari
sons.
The organization of the Jack
sonport cornet band is about
completed. Ten members to
date and two young men con
templating joining. The mem
bers are: Geo. T. Wilkins, John
P. Jones, Stinson Robinson, Gus
Swearmgen, Elmo Riddell, F. B.
Morgan, R. W. Anderson, Aus
tin Massey, D. W. Sayler and
W. A. Smart.
It was my intention to say
spring dawned bright and beau
tiful and remained so, but lo, the
black clouds and hard fall of
raindrops checked the speech and
froze the words up on my lips. I
was just beginning to feel poet
iical. You know sometimes a
person feels that way; a time
when it seems good to live in
this old world of sorrows and
cares. I will say more on this
subject at another time.
Let us hear from others. So
long. Sunny Jim.
AUVERGNE.
George Harrison was horse
| back riding on our streets Tues
; day.
Mrs. J. R. Davis visited her
brother, F. E. Vining, of New
port, last week.
Dr. G. D. Clements is in Mem
phis this week. Be sure and
pick a winner, Doctor.
Recent rains have made gar
dens take on a greenish hue.
This is pleasing to the eye. There
is always pleasure in anticipation.
J. R. Davis is boring for Stan
dard oil. It is already reported
he is posing as an oil magnate.
Oh, Jimmie, we weep for thee.
W. D. McLain seems to have
the lumber business cornered at
this place. However, Mr. Me.
we are always glad to have you
with us.

of Shoffner were here to church
Sunday and partook of the hospi
tality of Mr. and Mrs. F. L.
Bleakley.
Mr. D. E. Shaser, the popular
bookkeeper for the Shoffner
Mercantile Co., was in town
Sunday. Expect we have your
secret, Mr. D.
W. C. Wilson is reported “saw
ing wood” today. That is the
road to fame, Billy. We imagine
you went lame at the quarter;
and were distanced.
F. L. Bleakley, secretary and
treasifror of the Clements Mer
cantile Co., and owner of Lake i
View plantation, visited his do
minion this week and reports to
this writer he is having some
choice farming done there. Can
this be fact or fancy?
Sir Clyde Handel was howling
out his agony to his best girl
Sunday. C., had you giyen us
the proper tip we would have
joined the oyster species.. As
it is we are with the Missouri
politician—have to have a con
sideration before courtesies are
extended.
J. G. Handel reported in New
port Tuesday. Mr. H. has not
entirely recovered from that St.
Louis trip. His health is much
impaired, caused from eating
about $2.50 worth of those little
! wnite cnecKS you get at tne oar
and present at the cashier’s desk.
He was broke. Talk about your
dreams, but he’s the limit. We
questioned his truthfulness in
last week’s issue, but after re
calling the above incident we
gladly withdraw our accusation.
We feel in duty bound to ask
the editor of the Independent to
accept our profoundest bow for
taking such prompt action on
last week’s communication.
Now about our town, we could |
hardly term her “metropolitan”
as yet, but we can gaze into the
dim, hazy future and see inspir-;
ing things. Here is what we
ihave in the mercantile line:
'Clements Mercantile Co., J. G.
J Handel & Co., R. P. Carter and
I Mrs. Mattie Foushee; druggist,
i N. H. Lockhart; milling inter-1
ests, Auvergne Land and Lum- j
ber Co., Perry Hooper & Co., J.
, C. Cain & Sons, P. J. Sanders
& Co. and J. R. Murphy & Co.
All these enterprises are doing a
nice business, and we would ad
vise our sister towns to get busy
| or there is a possibility of their
; getting left at the post.
We have fast received oar
new line of ladies white lin
en and lawn shirt waists.
Be sare and see them. Wolff
