WHAT THEY SAY.
Rr- . ____
The mob violence which culmi
nated in the hanging of Allwhite
ewport last Saturday is an
ther demonstration of the peo
ple’s disregard for law. There
is no doubt but that the courts
ould have dealt promptly with
_mur»rlover onH Tin nnp r.niild
ave the least apprehension about
ustice being meted out. "The
unishment was not more than
the man deserved, but when a
of men become so blood
thirsty that they set at defiance
supreme law of the land it is
a sad reflection upon the citizen
ship of the community. The
mob that hung Allwhite and the
that would have hung Crosby
of this county but for the brave
stand of some of our citizens was
ted by the same spirit as
that followed Jesus
of Jerusalem
Him.”—Bates
HOME.
Bluff prisoner named
William Whitney only made his
, . lot a worse one Friday night in
setting afire his temporary
home, the city jail. He is an old
riverman, employed on the gov
ernment snag boat, and don’t
stand much in awe of the fires of
Hades, or he would not have
been so drunk, nor in bodily ter
ror of a little blaze, or he would
not have sought to thus burn the
barriers to freedom.
But, anyhow, the fire laddies
responded promptly, and the riv
er rat failed to lay in ashes the
cold walls of the city bastile. In
stead, he was called up next
morning to pay fifty plunks for
being drunk and remanded to his
happy home for the next term of
circuit court, charged with arson.
LETTER TO MR. J. F.
M’FADDEN, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: If you paint two
houses alike with two different
paints, and one takes twice as
much paint as the other, you
know which paint to buy after
that—so far as go-far goes—don’t
you?
One of these paints is Devoe;
the other is any average paint.
The worst are worse than that;
the better are not much better;
no other paint than Devoe is
anywhere near Devoe in go-far.
l)evoe is go further; the rest are
go-short, go-middling and go
three-quarters.
Yours truly,
F W Devoe & Co
New York and Chicago.

BETTER SERVICE" FOR
WHITE RIVER BRANCH.
A new time card will go into
1 effect on the White River Route
I Sunday, January 8, says the Cot
i ter Courier. The passenger will
leave Cotter, south bound, at
about eight in the morning,
arriving in Newport at 3 o’clock,
and a train will leave Newport
each morning at 8, arriving at 3.
The trains will pass at Mt.
Olive. The change was made
necessary by the heavy increase
in traffic, which the train crews,
under the present schedule have
not the time to handle properly.
By the new time card connec
tions will be made at Newport
with all St. Louis and Little
Rock trams. The change will be
of decided advantage to the
company, the public and to Cot
ter.
