'Francis counties com

street, to his hovel, ask him ?
See the gambler. His life is full j
of deceit and sin, he cannot look |
you in the face. Go to the jail;
and look through the bars at
those imprisoned there and I
think you will make up your
mind that the way of the trans
gressor is hard. Go to your
state penitentiary and take a
look at those in convict’s clothes,
and you will say “The way of the
transgressor is hard.” _Go to the
scaffold when the black cap has
been drawn and a young man
now about ready to be launched
into Eternity and I think you
will decide that the way of the
transgressor is hard.
The moralist will naturally
say “I confess that the way of
the class of transgressors you re
fer to is hard, but I am not guil
ty of that class of sin. Still my
dear sir, you are a transgressor
because you are rejecting Christ.
You know the good of the
church, and the need of it, and
you see others doing the good
while you are lined up on the
side of the enemies of the church
and Christ. You know you
ought to come to Jesus; but
you don’t do it. You are put on
the negative list, because of your
failure to take a stand with the
righteous and that brings shame
and worry.
You may transgress the law of
this country and escape the pen
alty but you cannot escape the
penalty of God’s law, only by ac
cepting Jesus.
Your influence is either for
Christ or against Him. You are
damning some soul. You may
nfefc intend to but you are just
tire same if you refuse the Son of
God.
At the call ten people came
and accepted Jesus as th'eir Sa
vior making about forty since
the meeting began.
Come and be in the great work
for we are just now on the dawn
of a great revival in Newport.
This is a Union meeting in ev
ery sense of the word. You
can’t tell by watching the Chris
tians to which church they be
long. We trust this will remain
so through the coming years.

A more delightful Hospitality
could not be found and the beau
tifully appointed I. D. Price
home was certainly the scene of
a very large and happy gather
ing of handsomely gowned la
dies.
Throughout the home the one
idea in decorations was Japanese
and was as perfectly carried out
as anything could be. In the re
ception hall the purple wisteria,
the national flower of Japan, en
twined with ivy, was used to ar
tistic effect and admired by all
wHo entered.
At the hail door the guests
were received by Mrs. J. C. Her
ron, who wore a beautiful silk
reception dress, and from there
the guests were received by
Miss Louise Wallace who led the

L. Campbell, Miss Guila Chunn,
Miss Rina Price, Miss Rina Wal

Mrs. I. D. Price, Mrs. John W.
Wallace, Mrs. Rina Wishon, Mrs.
P. H. Van Dyke, Mrs. M. B.
Wish'on, Mrs. Kate Hurt and
Mrs; R. W. Wallace.
In the rear of the hall a little
Japanese tea room was fitted up,
where tea was poured by Misses
Stella Wallace and Mary Bains,
who wore regular Japanese
robes. In this room were placed
little tables, covered with doylies
of Japanese designs; the walls
and ceilings were hung with lan
terns and umbrellas.
After a visit to the tea room,
the guests-, were escorted to the
dining room by Misses Mabel
Stayton, Bessie Watson and Rina

Donald, who were also dressed to
represent Japanese serving
maids.
The dining room was done in
chrysanthemums, ferns and par
asols, the table being laid with
hand-painted center piece and
doylies in Japanese design.
In the parlor, the shower pre
sents to the popular bride made
a beautiful array of handsome
linen pieces, cut glass and silver
and were much admired by the
more than hundred ladies who
called to pay compliment to the
bride-elect and hostesses.
For the afternoon Miss Wal
lace wore a beautiful reception
costume of yellow chiffon over
messalaine, which was very be
to her brunette style of

Hite silk with lace and beacf
Kinming, while Miss Rina
Price’s dress was of dainty pink
flowered net over silk. Miss

pretty lingerie with Valenciennes

ned affairs given in honor of

party this afternoon by Mrs. P.

Laurel street.
The guests were welcomed by
the hostess and the honoree and
later accompanied to the dining
room which was an artistic tri
umph, with the effective placing
of large white chrysanthemums,
green tulle and ferns, which also
combined the wedding color
scheme of green and white. A
large basket filled with chrysan
themums and tied with green
tulle formed a center table de
coration. Brass candelebras,
bearing green candles, were also
placed upon the table'the room
being darkened and lighted arti
ficially. The place cards were
handpainted to represent bas
kets of valley lillies, the favors
being tiny wedding slippers fill
ed with bon bons.
For the luncheon eight deli
cious courses were served in an
attractive style..

11,000 BUSH El S
FROM 150 ACRES.
The Harrisburg Rice District
Results Are Entirely Sat
isfactory.
Harrisburg,Nov. 17.—The rice
crop has been harvested and
most of the farmers have finish
i
ed threshing and sold their crop
of that cereal and have the mon
ey in the bank. The crop has
been very good this year and the
farmers have realized a very
nice price for it, getting an aver
age of about 85c per bushel for
it. The yield has been a good
average, and better than the cus
tomary average where no ill
luck has happened while they
were pumping water on the rice.
Some bumper crops have been
m,ade, one man threshing 11,000
bushels from a field of 150 acres.
The Weiner rice mill is going at
full blast with a full crew of men
and has bought practically all
the rice in the Weiner district,
paying the farmers satisfactory:
prices for same. Most of the,
people who have raised rice this
year are planning to put in as
much more next spring as they
can get land prepared in time for
planting, and there is a big de
mand for labor. Your corres
pondent has already heard of
eight new farms that are to be
put in next year, ranging in size
from one hundred to six hundred
and forty acres to the farm.

Special to Independent.
Grubbs, Nov. 16.—The laying

school laws, the New Testament,
papers, a roll of the pupils and
several newspapers, one of which
was the Independent, along with
a number of coins were deposited
in the receptacle.
Find Ducks Plentiful.
Since the hunters of this city
were so successful early in the
wreek in killing ducks on the
slough below Anthony’s, there
have been many parties out from
Newport seeking the water fowl,

on water-cup acorns.
R. T. Simmons, A. Bullard and
Larry Young found a good after
noon’s sport Thursday on Horse
shoe Lake near Olyphant, bring
ing home 15 or 20 Mallards. As
a result, quite a party went
down the river Friday morning
in R. C. Horton’s launch.
The members of the party
were L. L. Bowen, R. T. Sim
mons, A. Bullard, R. C. Horton,
Charley Walton ,B. W. Jamison,
