Cold Weather For the Week.
Washington, Jan. 11.—Freez
ing weather, reaching down to
southern Florida, was predicted
today by Weather Bureau ex
perts for a few days of the week.
“The week will open,” said the
bureau, “with a cold wave in the
Northwest that will extend
through the upper lake region
during Monday, and by Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning
will reach the North Atlantic
states. There will also be heavy
frosts and freezing temperatures
Monday and Tuesday over the
South Atlantic and Gulf states,
and by Tuesday morning the
frosts probably will extend over
the interior of southern Florida.
“It is not probable that high
temperatures will be experienced
during the week over the South,
but over the North, after the
passing cold wave, there will be
a recovery to more moderate
temperature. This will reach
the North Atlantic states about
Thursday
UlSLUIUcUlUC liv^w
southern Alaska already is caus
ing rains on the Washington
coast. This disturbance will
cause rains and snows west of
the mountains, but not much to
the eastward until about the
middle of the week, when snows
and rains may be expected from
Missouri and the upper Missis
sippi valleys eastward, reaching
the Atlantic states Thursday or
Friday. It is not probable that
any severely cold weather will
follow the present Alaska dis
turbance. Another disturbance
will follow toward the end of the
week.
“Over the South and South
west, the weather will be gener
ally fair during the week, and in
the Northeast there will be no
precipitation of consequence un
til after the middle of the week.”
To Have All Night Service.
Pocahontas, Jan. 10.—The
connection of Walnut Ridge and
Pocahontas with electric wires
will be completed within a few
days and Pocahontas will receive
light furnished from the power
plant of Walnut Ridge- All

William A. Guinn Dead.
William Albert Guinn, aged 46
years, died at his home in Little
Rock Satudray night at 8:45
from a short illness. The body
was brought here Sunday night
at 8:45 and carried to the
home of his mother, Mrs. Eliza
Guinn in East Newport, where
the funeral was held Monday af
ternoon at 2:30, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Hoffmann of the Chris
tian church.
Mr. Guinn had been weigher
for the Lesser-Goldman Cotton
'Company at Little Rock for ten
'years and was a splendid man
whose friends of his former
home regret to learn of his
death.
Mr. Guinn was married less
than a year ago, and the grief
stricken wife with his mother
and other relatives, have the
sympathy of our people.
Fire Destroys Barn.
Fire destroyed the big barn of
Walter Hurley at Diaz Monday
morning between four and five
o’clock, everything being a total
loss. How the fire originated is
a mystery, but points strongly
to have been set on fire. Two
horses that were tied in their
stalls had been cut loose and
turned out when the fire was dis
covered.
The loss to Mr- Hurley is a
heavy one as he had a big lot of
hay and corn amounting to
more than a thousand dollars
stored away for his use this
year. Besides all his feed, wag
ons, buggy and all farming tools
were destroyed. An insurance
of about one thousand dollars is
thought to have been carried on
the barn and contents.
Ben Hur Installation.
A big time is planned for
Tuesday night by Newport Court
No. 43, Tribe of Ben Hur, at
which time they will install offi
cers for the ensuing year. A
banquet will follow the installa
tion. All members of the order
are urged to attend.
By Order of the Chief.
Cora E. Folk
Captain and Mrs. James T.
Henderson arrived home Satur
day afternoon from Tennessee,
where they enjoyed the holidays.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brown and
two little sons of Clarendon ar
rived Saturday night to visit
her parents, Mr- and Mrs. Ar
thur Richardson, who are quite
sick. Mr. Brown returned home
Sunday evening.

NOT AN ISOLATED CASE j
Many Similar Cases In Newport
and Vicinity.
This Newport man’s story giv
en here is not an isolated case by j
any means; week after week;.
year after year, our neighbors j
are telling similar good news.
Joseph F. Brown, farmer, R.
F. D- No. 2, Box 61 a, Newport,
Arkansas, says: “I suffered off
and on for several years from
kidney complaint- The kidney se
cretions passed irregularly, the
flow usually being too frequent
and obliging me to get up at
night. Dull, heavy pains seated
themselves in the small of my
back and when I stooped, sharp
twinges darted through me. I
went from bad to worse until I
got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Dut
ton’s Drug Store, (now Walker’s
Pharmacy). A few boxes cured
me.”

Small Wonder.
A lady suffering from a severe cold
directed her maid to procure two pen

on the return of the maid, who ex
pressed her inability to obtain “thf

Anne."—London Telegraph.
Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a simple
social function, opened with a gams of
cards, the host caused quite a stir
among the ladies present by announc
ing after the guests had seated them
selves at the tables: “If everybody's
made up, we’ll start.” Self consciously

Safety In Friendship.
An Intimate friendship Is at once
a safeguard in recreation and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twioe be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows his best friend would
condemn. It is a stimulus, because
in work or business, or sven play, a
man does not willingly lag behind
while the Mend is forging ahead. In
oommon endeavors for good oauses.
religious or social or political, friend
ship is a powerful inducement to self
torgsttlng activity.
Professor Recited Badly.
One day a college professor, going
to his class, came across one of hla
students who had just fallen down.
Asking him how he fell, the student
replied, “Notwithstanding.” Telling
the anecdote a short time later the
professor said: “I met Mr. Junior the
other day, and he made a very bright j
remark. He had Just fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how It
happened, he said, ‘Nevertheless.’”—
