The Jaw forbidding newspa

attached. The newspapers are
glad to obey it and hope the
sentiment and law may become
general.
Gov. Hays and party will
spend next week on White river
fishing. The governor’s party
will also take due notice that
this is dry territory and is a good
season for snakes.—Batesville
Guard.
The county macadam road
.from the city limits to the old
fair ground site is fast becoming
a bad piece of roadway, all for
lack of necessary repairing in
the way of a surface coating of
fine rock. In many cities maca
dm roadways are repaired and
:made new by running over a
heavy roller set with spikes that
tear loose the whole surface of
the roadway and thus allow an
additional coat of fine rock or
screenings to form a binding top.

that will be in condition through
out the winter to meet the de
i rnands of the heavy travel which (
enters Newport over this road.
If the bridge is to be repaired it
ought to be done now.

If Governor Hays becomes
known as the “Good Roads Gov
ernor,” an honor he bids fair to
j«attain, it will be more to his cred
jit than to have built the state
capitol or to have accomplished
| any other of the meritorious
acts of his predecessors. The
governor who turns the state’s
attention and work to the im
provement of her highways,
brings blessings to her people
that future historians will not
ignore.
The Boston Transcript re
marks that $1,500,000 looks like
a lot of money to waste on Mis- i
souri roads.
' Well, it is better spent that;
way than trying to farm on Mas
sachusetts rock.—St. Louis Re-!
public.
And we venture to say Massa
chusetts did not attain to its i
present state of good roads ex
cellence without the spending
of a few millions of dollars.—
Fort Smith Times Record.
Entertains For Guest.
Mrs. Oscar E. Jones enter
tained very delightfully Thurs
day evening with an informal re
ception in honor of her aunt,
Mrs. Dick Jones of Paragould.
The guests present were mem
bers of the Woman’s Missionary
Society of the Methodist church
and a large number of the ladies
be restored to the pension rolls.
The total amount apportioned
is $624,068.91, and each pen
sioner will therefore receive 72
cents on the dollar allowed. The
totai allowance was $856,222.
Had the money due from St.
Francis County been paid, the
per cent of allowance would j
have been about 73.

Annual Meeting Postponed.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept- 5.—The an
nual meeting of the Arkansas
Fish and Game Protective Asso
ciation has been postponed until
October 20-21, when it is plan
ned that a notable meeting shall
be held in Little Rock. Among
those who will be present and
deliver addresses will be Gover
nor Hays, ex-Governor Futrell,
Associate Justice W. F. Kirby.,
George Webber of Texarkana, j
and E. A. Mcllhenny, of Louisi-;
ana, who is expected to deliver j
an illustrated lecture. It is ex- j
pected also that representatives i
of the National Audubon Socie- j
tv and the New York Zoological |
Society will be present.

Cotton Coming In Slowly.
Five bales of cotton were mar
keted on the street here Thurs-!
day and about as many more Fri
day. The ruling price was 12^
cents per pound. A great deal
of cotton has opened by reason
of the drouth and the first pick
ing is getting half the yield. The
verji hot weather continues to
damage the crop as well as pre
vent picking becoming general.

son county, which serves as
many people, and the expense in
' curred in building a macadam
roadway is too great to allow it;
ruin to continue, when small re
pair work now will put it in first
class condition.
News reports say that
“friends of Judge Kirby are ar
ranging to take-' him on a deer
drive.” The judge is arranging
to take himself on a dear drive
when he runs for the United
States Senate. — Batesville

The heavy traffic season is
near at hand and the present
condition of the Newport Lake
bridge warrants us in saying
that something must be done
and that quickly. As the build
ing of a concrete bridgeway is to
be delayed till spring by reason
of matters which must first be
settled by the courts, the present
wooden structure must either be
refloored or a roadway made
around the upper end of the lake
“IN A BAD WAY”
Many A Newport Reader Wiii
Feel Grateful for This In
formation.
If your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or ach
ing;
If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps your kidneys are “in
n bad way.”
Don't delay—Use Doan’s Kid
ney Pills.
Here is good evidence of their
, worth:
Mrs. Susan A. Alexander, of
Main street, Batesville, Ark.,
says: “I suffered from a dull
ache in the small of my back
and had dizzy spells and blurr
j ing of my sight. I always felt
! tired and languid and could
| hardly get up in the morning.
Doan’s Kidney Pills rid me of
the trouble soon after I began
using them- I advise a trial of j
this remedy in all cases of kid
ney complaint. My former en- j
were present to meet Mrs. Jones
who is also an enthusiastic work
' er in the society and a very
1 charming lady.
A special feature that added
j greatly to the evening’s pleasure
was a number of songs rendered
l by Miss Mildred Johnson.
Delicious cream and cake con
cluded the very "pleasant even

Pension Checks All Mailed.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 5.—The last
of the Confederate pension war
rants was mailed out by State
Auditor Coffman Thursday even
ing, about twelve days ahead of
the usual time. There is a total
of 9,272 pensioners on the rolls
this year, an increase of about
500 over 1912. This is due
largely to the fact the last Leg
islature passed a law that sol
diei's’ widows who have remar
ried, and whose second husbands
! have died or desei-ted them, may
