Senator Jeff Davis was in our
city Wednesday according to ap
pointment and spoke at the
court house to 200 people. He
made his usual speech in the
campaign, for half the time he
defended his record, and gave
one of the appearance of a man
'who was half scared to death
'over his prospects, although he
belittles the opposition and said
the opposition could not muster
100 people in our court house to
hear Brundidge. Nobody but
Jeff Davis would have made
such a statement. He roasted
^Rockefeller, the present state
administration, the Iron Moun
tain railroad attorneys, and said
that money woul^-be sent here
from Washington to Itefeat him

The Union meeting is a draw
ing place. People will come in
spite of rain or storm. About
two hundred were present last
evening and a good testimony
meeting was held and three
came to Jesus.
Evangelist Hobbes preached
last night and brought a strong
message from Acts 9:6 “And he
trembling and astonished said,
Lord, what wilt thou have me
to do? And the Lord said unto
him arise and go into the city,
and it shall be told thee what
thou must do.”
He drew a contrast of Paul’s
life before his conversion and
after. Paul was a man who
couldn’t be compelled to quit

ion of Jesus he must tell it, re
gardless of what it cost him.
Being beaten or stoned and put
into prison could not stop him.
Paul and Silas were imprison
ed at Phillippi, but they §ang
and prayed and preached and
had a great meeting there. The
old prison gates were swung op
en by the power of God and the
jailer thought the prisoners had
fled. He was going to kill him
self but Paul stopped him and
preached Jesus to him and he
■ he new converts will be doubted
and people are saying in a week’s
time they will be back in the
same old way and they will do
all in their power to get you to
make a mistake.
Ask yourself the question:
“Lord, what wilt thou have me
to do?” Then go and do it. Join
the church next Sunday morn
inf a +
and preaching service.
Preaching tonight at 7:30, to
morrow afternoon at 2:30 at the
tabernacle. A rally day for all
the new converts and backslid
ers that have been reclaimed and
all are urged to be present. It
will be a great hour.
Sunday night at 7 o’clock the
last sermon will be preached. It
will close one of the greatest
meetings in the history of New
port. Sunday school and
preaching at the morning hour
by all the pastors in their own
churches.

In the Jackson chancery court !
Saturday before Judge George <
T. Humphries was argued the in- <
junction proceeding of numer- <
ous property owners in the <
White River and Village Creek 1
Levee district against John H. j
Keel and other officers of the j
district, asking that defendants <
be restrained from the collec- :
tion of taxes and. other proceed- !
ings, pending the court’s decis- i
ion as to the validity of the spe- ;
cial act creating the district. :
The petitioners represent j
6,224 acres of land within the \
district and either side is ex- \
pected to carry the case to the «
supreme court for final settle- \
ment. !
The most important objec- !
tions to the act creating the dis- <
trict are based upon its non- <
conformance to the recent Initi- <
ative and Referendum constitu- |
tional amendment and the case <
will thus be of interest to at- <
torneys throughout the state. ;
Stayton and Stayton of New- <
port, McCaleb and Reeder of i
Batesville represent the plain- |
tiffs and Stuckey and Stuckey 5
and Morris Cohn of Little Rock j
the defendants. $
The chief points made against £
the validity of the act creating j
the district nm ' ~“ $
—IT "ft has no enabling clause, 8
as required by the Initiative and jjj
Referendum Amendment.
2. The boundaries of the dis- A
trict are so vague, that it can- A
not be said with certainty whose '*
land lies within the district. 5
3. Act was not submitted to £
the voters of the district nor
Was a method of such submis
sion provided for. 5
4. Act provides it shall take |
effect from and after its pas- £
sage and does not contain the (
emergency ciausc. ?
5. The proceedings of the C
directors and assessors of the J
district were had before the ex- >
piration of 90 days after the \
legislature adjourned.
6. The assessment is eonfis- j
catory. <
Church Bazaars.
The Presbyterian and Chris- j
tian churches held their annual <
bazaars in this city Thursday
and each was well patronized by
buyers of Christmas novelties.
The Presbyterian ladies real- <
ized one hundred and twenty <
dollars for their treasury, while <
the ladies of the Christian j
church made one hundred and >
five dollars for their work, of j
which they are very apprecia-ij
tive. !
