force of men, commenced the
' »f*Ja new sewerage last

Press. The new line of sewer
age is being laid from the court

quite an important piece of work
^and will be of great value to the

the welfare of our city govern

ting all efforts forth, to make ex

I and they deserve much credit lor
their untiring efforts.
A. S. G. ORDER.
Newport, Arkansas, March 10.
Special orders No. 2. The proper
authority having been given
these headquarters by telegram
dated Headquarters Arkansas
State Guard, Little Rock, Arkan
sas, March 9, 1904, for the or
ti
ganization of a company of in
fantry, A. S. G. at Newport,
Arkansas. It is hereby ordered
that the adjutant general of the
First division, A. S. G., take
personal charge of the matter
and complete the organization as
soon as possible. He will make
such recommendations regard
ing persons for the positions of
commissioned and non-commis
sioned officers as in his judg
ment he thinks proper, and he
will until properly relieved be in
command of the organization.
By order of
M. M. Stuckey,
Brig. General Commanding.
Henry G. McBurney,
Col. and Adjt. General.
MR. GREGG DECLINES.
Messrs. R. M. Johnson, Abe
Heiliger and others: To your re
quest that I stand as a candidate
for alderman from the Second
ward, in that I feel that the in
terests of the city would be per
haps fbetter subserved by en
trusting its affairs to men who
have greater financial interests
involved than have I, and that
those to whom the city’s welfare
is most vitally important should
control its government, I must
decline to become a candidate, as
suggested in your call.
While very radical public im
provements would be most pleas
ing to my eye and in some par
ticulars to my nostrils, I can not
but say that my sense of sight
and smell might be to some ex
tent blunted if this improvement
touched more extensively my
pocketbook. At heart I think
that I am truly for the better
ment and unbuilding of Newport,
but believe that it would be bet
ter that the city council be com
posed of men who are in position
to draw more clearly that fine
line of dejnarkation between
heart and pocket.
Very gratefully yours,
Tom J. Gregg.

SUES RAILROAD
FOR DAMAGES.
Robert C. Snoddy Sues Mountain
for Damages on Account of
1000-Mile Ticket.
Robert C. Snoddy, through
Pugh & Wiley, Wednesday filed
suit in the second division of the
Pulaski county circuit court
against the Iron Mountain for
$4,000 damages. He alleges that
on November 17, 1903, he pur
chased a 1000-mile mileage book
good for one year. January 12
he boarded a train at Little Rock
for Newport and tendered the
mileage as payment for trans
portation. He alleges that the
conductor refused to accept • it
and stopping the train at Jack
sonville put' him off. No fast
trains stopping there he was com
pelled to wait many hours for a
slow train, then go to another
town and borrow money to pay
his way to Newport. He asks
$2,000 for the humiliation and
$2,000 punitive damages.—Little
Rock Gazette.
CHANCELLOR CARROLL’S
88TH BIRTHDAY.
Little Rock, March 12. — Ex
Chancellor D. W. Carroll’s 88th
birthday came yesterday, and
the veteran jurist was the re
cipient of congratulations from
many friends on his good health
and the prospect for his contin
ued lease on life. Judge Carroll
is quite as active as many men
twenty years his junior. He was
born in Maryland, in 1816 and
came to Arkansas in 1836, the
year the state was admitted to
the Union. He was a member
of the Eigth legislature in 1851. (
He was appointed chancellor in
1878 and served sixteen years in
that capacity. Judge Carroll
has thus been identified more
than half a century with Arkan
sas, and is one of the few men
now living that were reaching
man’s estate when the territory
of Arkansas passed out of ex
istence in 1836.
ORGANIZE MONDAY NIGHT.
The organization of the new
company of state guard will be
made at the armory in the court
house Monday evening, March
14th, at 8 o’clock. All young
men of Newport and vicinity be
tween the ages of 18 and 35 who
wish to join the company will
please meet at the above named
place. Minors before enlisting
must have consent of their pa
rents.
E. A. Shaver of Jacksonport
is reported quite sick.
