NOTE TO THE HOMEFOLKS.
Do not get the idea that our boys
are “going over the top” to die.
Ninety-three in each hundred will re
turn. Do not let the “Well, if I do
not see you again, good luck and God
bless you” farewell send a man off
with a stone where his heart should
be. Keep this idea out of your let
ters and their thoughts. To be vic
torious they must be hopeful.
Keep the spirit of the slogan,
“Prepare to Live” before them.
Write often. Get them thinking
about and preparing for the job they
want when they return. Do your
part to keep the home ties from
breaking. Urge them to come home
clean and ready for the opportunities
that will be waiting.
Thrift promotion is teaching them
to be independent financially, fit
physically, trained mentally and
close to God spiritually. Put these
thoughts into your letters. Let them
know your savings are increasing
their chances of returning and mak
ing their present conditions easier
Inform yourself about War Risk In
surance and the oth^r financial mat
ters of those close to you in Uncle
Sam’s Service.—Trench and Camp. ,
We take the foregoing item from
the Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., newspaper.

* L. B. Rodgers, one of our friends
living on Route One, was in this
morning to get his paper for last
week. He says it sure gets lonesome
when the weather and road conditions
get so bad that the rural carriers
have to suspend operations.
In a letter to a friend in Newport
this morning a young man at Vir
ginia Beach said the Atlantic Ocean
was frozen as far you could see, and
that several days ago the waves
ceased to roll and no ships' of any
kind were coming in or going out
on account of the ice blockade. It is
some cold when a thing like this hap
pens.
It’s a beautiful world if it is a
cold one. The trees are the prettiest
things imaginable with icicles hang
ing on every limb. Some fine pic
tures are being taken of street and
river scenes. The pity of it all
some beautiful shade trees have been
ruined by the heavy sleet breaking
them all to pieces.
Mr. Arthur Dyes, representing the
internal revenue department, made
this office a pleasant call today, and
expressed the appreciation of the
department for courtesies extended.
Mr. Dyes is en route from Searcy to
Batesville in the discharge of his of
ficial duties, and will leturn here
next month. He is temporarily
“snow-bound” but expects to get a
train out in the morning.
Mrs. O. W. Scarborough, chair
man of the Red Cross knitting unit,
desires to state that the shipment of
knitted articles would be deferred
until Tuesday of next week instead
of this week. Mrs. Scarborough is
anxious for every member to knit a
garment by next Tuesday and send
to her for shipment. The weather is
favorable for such work and a big
supply of yarn is on hand, so the
knitters should get busy. *
Not only the merchants, but saw
mill, factory operators, doctors, law
years and all kinds of business and
professional men and their employ
ees are invited to the lecture tonight.
In fact every citizen of Newport who
is interested in the development of
the town should be present. * You
can secure tickets from Johnson
Cloyce Hardware Company, or Beat
ty Hardware Company. If you fail
to get a ticket, come on any way, ad
mission is free, by leaving your
name at the box office.
GROCERY AND MEAT
MARKET CHANGES HANDS
Enest Henderson of Weldon, who
has been living in our city since last
fall, has bought out Davis Brothers’
Market on upper Front street an as
sumed management this morning. He
has retained the services of Roy
Mauldin in the meat department.
Mr. Henderson is a capable young
business man and his friends hope to
see him make good.

“Congested traffic conditions and
the resulting inability of publishers
to obtain an adequate supply of news
