Public School Annual “The
Oriole.”
The class of 1914 of the New
port High School has just issued
the first “annual” ever publish
ed by any of the graduating
classes, which is termed “The
Oriole” and the cover colors are
appropriate to the name.
The book is a very handsome
publication of 80 pages, cloth
bound and printed upon a high
grade enameled book paper,
with many halftones and a num
ber of original drawings by Miss
TSstelle Hite, our talented young
genius, which would do credit
to a Harvard, Yale or Princeton
publication.
The annual is very appropri
ately and appreciatively dedicat
ed to the ladies of the Civic Im
provement League and is a book
that does credit to the class of
1914 and was made possible by
the generous support of the bus
iness men of Newport, who pa
tronized its pages with adver
tising.
The officers of the Oriole are:
Charles L. Minor, editor in
chief: Miss Rita Whitten, as
sistant editor; Wiley W. Mc
Minn, business manager; Allen
Martin, assistant business man
ager; Miss Nellie Snetser, sec
retary; Carl Hirsch, treasurer;
Miss Estelle Hite, art editor;
Miss Mary Francis Bains and
Walter Stallings, sporting edit
ors: Misses Willie Overton Min
or and Carrie Harris, society ed
j itors; William L- Childers, liter
ary editor.
Bunking Party For Seniors.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Parish
gave a party at their home on
their farm east of town Tuesday
evening in honor of their broth
jer, Walter Stallings, who is a
member of the graduating class
of the High school
Of all the entertainments giv
en in honor of the class, this one
might probably be called the
most novel and could easily be
termed an “all night” party, for
it was long after daylight when
the crowd reached home. The
girls and boys chaperoned by
Mrs. Stallings and Miss Lillie
Stallings, drove out to the farm
about 8 o’clock when the fun be
gan. Dancing and games lasted
until 3 o’clock when “beds, cots
and pallets” were in order, but
from the report of those reach
ing home this morning, only one
eye was closed during the night
and thatj was Allen Martin's. In
a game of “pillow” after retir
ing some boy substituted a shoe
which Allen raised up in time to
receive full in the eye, which is
in bandage today.
Cream and cake were served
at 11 o’clock in the evening, and
a fine hot breakfast at daylight
was the last of the all night par
ty, the Seniors reaching home
this morning about 8 o’clock in
fine form for “exams.”

Boy Scouts In Uniform.
Newport Troupe No. 1, of the
Boy Scouts of America marched
down the street through the
business section clad in their
handsome, new uniforms Tues
day evening as proud a bunch of
boys as ever lived.
The uniforms consist of Ka
khi cloth coats and breeches ex
tending below the knee and there
laced, together with hat, shirt,
belt and haversack. The suits
arrived Tuesday evening and of
course, had to be tried on at
once, next the parade. These
young fellows from 12 to 16
years of age, are very proud
and loyal to their organization
and George A. Hillliouse has
proven a patron saint in the in
terest, help and leadership he
[has given the youthful scouts.

[enough for any man or woman
to stand on their feet or work
and our public spirited mer
j chants are to be commended for
jthis early closing.

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.
Many Similar Cases In Newport
And Vicinity.
This Newport man’s story,
given here, is not an isolated case
by any menas; week after week,
year after year, our neighbors
are telling similar good news.
Joseph F- Brown, farmer, R.
F. D. No. 2. Box 61A, Newport,
Arkansas, says:
“I suffered off and on for sev
eral years from kidney com
plaint. The kidney secretions
passed irregularly, the flow usu
ally being too frequent and oblig
ing me to get up at night. Dull,
heavy pains seated themselves in
the small of my back and when
I stooped, sharp twinges dart
ed through me. I went from
bad to worse until I got Doan’s
Kidney Pills at Dutton’s Drug
Store (Now Walker’s Pharma
cy.) A few boxes cured me.”
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy

CARNIVAL
Under Auspices Of Boy Scouts
Of America, Troupe No. 1,
Newport, May 18 to 23,
Inclusive.
It will be a lively carnival week
that cannot fail to appeal to ev
erybody, young and old. The
best of order will be maintain
ed, and evenings of pleasurable
entertainment of a refined na
ture is assured all who attend.
General Manager J. Geo. Loos is
the originator of the really
clean carnival and stands prac
tically alone with determination
to afford patrons attractions the
most fastidious may visit with
out fear of being offended- Po
lite and uniform attendants will
be found on every side and cour
teous and obliging guides will
give details of the many differ
ent attractions and time of free
acts. In selecting the company
the committee in charge of the
carnival made no mistake in
booking the Exposition shows
for it is undoubtedly one of the
best amusement institutions of
its kind in America. Being en
tirely new both in name and
character and possessing the
^ood qualities cleanliness and
merit, so rarely fond with
amusement companies of these
later days, the six days and
nights of splendor will be con
ducted on a higher plane than
my other similar exhibition of
its kind and the most careful at
tention being paid to every de
partment and no objectionable
feature being permitted- The
carnival company carries its
3wn special train of fifteen cars
nil double length. Remember
the date, May 18th, to 23rd, in
clusive.
