Card From D. Ward King.
En Route, May 27, ’13.
Gentlemen:
I am planning to reach New- j
port on Friday. It is very im- i
portant for the success of the
meeting that all offices and busi
ness houses should be closed for
at least two hours, beginning
one-half hour before time set for
the address, so that the audience
can gather and settle itself.
This is vital.
With all good wishes,
D. Ward King.

Complaint From a Citizen.
To the Indepndent.
The nice, sweet littie boys,
ranging in years from 12 to 14.
that sneaked into my yard last
night and climbed my cherry
trees and broke the limbs of
same, I think their fathers and
mothers ought to be proud of.
They will make their mark in
the world, but I am afraid it will
be in the pen. I know you didn’t
learn it in Sunday school. You
boys may think I don’t know who
you are but I do.

Fortunes Spent in Troueeeaua.
The elaborate trousseaux of mean
bora of the amort aet would have mode
s queen bride of s century ecu open
her eyee with amazement. It Is ea
ordinary thing for the daughter of e
millionaire on getting her bridal S»
ary randy to order 30 or M hat*
trimmed with ostrich and other teeth
•re, to harmonise with ae many
gowns. Every gown needs e distinct
hat. The equipment of a rich bride
la looked on as incomplete if it dues
cot contain at least SO gowns end
such e trousseau does not mean the
bride will get no more dresses for •
rear. When lingerie and little orna
meats else are taken into considera
tion, it la plain a young girl in Now
York's smart aet must spend many
thousands of dollars for her outfit and
«everal women have spent 380.000 to
3100.000

All the Difference.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made By Many
Newport Citizens.
Look for the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
If it’s weak kidneys
You must set the kdneys to
working right.
A resident of ths vicinityc
shows you how.
Mrs. Martha A. Harmon, of
Batesville. Arkansas, says: “A
member of my family was taken
seriously ill with pneumonia in
1908 and when recovered, he was
very weak. He complaned of
a constant, dull ache in the
small of his back and he also
had dizzy spells. He was unable
to work and I knew that some
thing must be done to prevent
the trouble from becoming
chronic. Doan's Kidney Pills
had done so much for me that I
concluded to get a box. and their
use was begun in the case of
which I am speaking. In a
short time they entirely re
moved the backache and other
troubles. I also wish to say a
few words regarding my ex
perience. For fourteen years I j
suffered terribly from pains in j
my back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint. I was all run

\A\jw iyuau a a mjlis i
put me on the road to good
health and disposed of my
complaint.” (Statement: given
May 30, 1008.)
RE-ENDORSEMENT.
On April 5, 1911, Mrs. Har
mon said: “My opinion of Do
an’s Kidney Pills has not caang
ed during the past three years.
The cures this remedy effected
in my family have been perma
nent.”

A Bug’s Prayer.
Oh. Mr. Man, if you have heard
of that Ross’ “Dead Quick”
spray, forget it I pray thee, or
I die. Be merciful and use on ■
me anything else, and I may
pull through. The mosquito
said, “Amen!” Ross’ “Dead
Quick” spray sold in Newport

Everybody Likes Music.
From the birth of Adam to I
the present day, man has shown
a desire for music, even among
the uncivilized tribes of the j
Eastern Hemisphere, they make
weird sounds that seem to have
charms to soothe. W e owe most j
of our musical education to the
Greeks, according to musical
history. With the advancement j
of the world, our musical talents |
have also advanced, until today, J
small boys are found who can \
read music as readily as a grown i
person of a few years ago. Pe
ter Kramer from The House of
David, at Battle Creek, Michi
gan, won the highest honors in
his class last year, which speaks
very complimentary of his tal- j
ents. He is spending his sum
mer vacation with the King
Bros. Texas Ranger Show,!
which plays here Friday, May
30. He is conducting the band,;
which plays a concert on the 1
streets at 3 p. m. (Adv.) i
