He is now showing lovely Autumn- a
y time models just now displayed. 1
You will exclaim in delight when 1
you see these new models in the I
Red Cross shoe. Boots more clever- |
ly styled have come to take the
place of Sammies’ favorites. Each
one bears the unmistakable imprint
of a master designer’s handiwork,
style without extravagance, and how
happy you will be when you try on
the model of your choice.

There will be no church services at
any of the Newport churches Sunday
on account of the quarantine, and all
schools and public meetings are still
forbidden, owing to the continued
prevalence of influenza. There aie
very few new cases in Newport, but
those that have it are not doing so
well and the weather is more favor
able toward the development of pneu
monia. The county from one end to
the other is in the grip of the disease,
and it behooves our people to take
every precaution to prevent it if pos
sible, and to take care of themselves
if they have it.

As we are unable to hold service j
again tomorrow on account of the j
epidemic of influenza, may I ask that \
the different families hold family j
worship in their homes at 11 o’clock?
“Such simultaneous and united act J
of worship no doubt will incline God
1
in His love and mercy to remove from :
us the dreadful scourge from which
we are suffering.” The following
program may be used so that all ;
might worship in the same way and
at the same time.
1. Sing or read an appropriate
hymn.
2. Read Psalm 51.
3. Prayers—Confession of our
sins and a plea for pardon for all be
reaved families; for the sick and
suffering; for the lifting of the
scourge; the Lord’s Prayer.
4. Scripture lesson: Peter 3.
5. An earnest prayer that God
will aid us in being better and more
consistent children of God. St. James

6. Prayers—for our Country and j
the Allied Nations.

MRS. LELA HEAD JOHNSON.
Few deaths in the history of our
city have saddened our people as that
of Mrs. Tom W. Johnson, which oc
curred at 9:30 this morning from
pneumonia. After nursing her two
little children through a severe spell
of influenza, she contracted the same
dread disease one week ago whicih de
veloped into pneumonia and resulted
in her death this morning. Sur
rounded by her husband, mother and
two little children, the wife and mo
ther passed away, leaving a desolate
family, whose grief is pitiable. From
the beginning everything was done by
family, friends, physicians and nurse
to restore her to health, and in this
there is a consolation if there be such
a thing in such a sorrow, to know
that all ministered to her comfort.
The deceased was born in Illinois on
September the 20th, 1873, being 35
years old. The funeral arrangements
have not been made, awaiting the ar
rival of relatives this afternoon, but
the body will be carried to Paragould
for burial, probably Sunday after
noon, where it will be laid beside the
father and other loved ones gone be
fore.
Mrs. Johnson was a devoted wife
and mother, whose life was spent in
making home the haven ifr should be
i
to those of her family circle to whom
she was ever faithful and true. She
was- a member of the Methodist
church and charitable to all its insti
tutions, as all others who appealed to
her for help. To the husband who is
left with his two sweet little girls, j
Sidney and Helen, and ever-loving
mother, Mrs. Lela Head, is extended
the sincere sympathy of not only:
their most intimate friends but the
entire community as well, whose
hearts are saddened with theirs.
J. H. LYNCH DEAD.
'
J. H. Lynch, for several months
employed on the Quapaw, running on j
White and! Black rivers, died at the
Marine Hospital on Hazel street this
'morning at 4:30 from pneumonia.
The deceased contracted influenza a
few days ago, and grew seriously ill |
Thursday. The body is being held by j
Hayden & Holloway until informa-;
tion from his family, who live at No- ;
len, near Pocahontas, can be received.
He is survived by his wife and three
children.

KNOW THEY HAVE A JAIL.
The jail at Evening Shade, for so
many, many moons inhabited ony by
rats and creeping things, now has a
human occupant.
Charles Ballard, who had been liv
ing two miles south of Sidney for
four months, moving there from Mo
nette, last week stole a pair of mules
from James W. Claxton of Johnson ^
township. He took the team, which
is worth $400, to Newport and con
tracted to sell it for $150. The party
to whom he offered to sell the mules
suspicioned that the team was stolen
property and had Ballard arrested.
The man soon admitted his guilt. Mr.
Claxton was notified and has recov
ered his mules. Sheriff Kirtley re
turned Monday from Newport with
Ballard, who is passing the time in
jail.—Evening Shade Record.
