The Gause Chapter U. D. C.
met with Mrs. S. R. Phillips at
the regular time, Wednesday
afternoon. Much business of
importance was attended to, but
on account of the rush of social
affairs, the program was short
ened. The annual dues were in
creased from 25cts to 50cts, and
members will please take notice
and call at the treasurer’s office
as early as convenient.
NEW DRUG STORE.
John T. Jacocks of Little Rock
has recently opened a very nicely
furnished and well stocked drug
store in the E. L. Watson build
ing on Front street and together
with his family has made New
port his home for the future.
He is a very pleasant and
clever gentleman and a progress
ive merchant who believes in
pleasing his trade and thus win
ning their confidence and busi
ness.
He has associated with him
Mr. S. R. Hudson, for many
years a popular druggist of this
city and a man of broad ac
quaintance and fine reputation
as a pharmacist. Both Messrs.
Hudson and Jacocks are regis
tered pharmacists, and all pre
scriptions will have their careful
attention. The new firm, we
feel sure, will enjoy their part of
the business of our growing city
and its fine tributary territory.
BIG LIABILITIES FOR
A SMALl BUSINESS.
A petition in bankruptcy was
filed with United States Commis
sioner Crum late Saturday even
ing by the attorneys of N.
Blecher of Black Oak, says the
Helena World.
Mr. Blecher, who lives at Jones
boro, owned a small business at
Black Oak, which is also in
Craighead county, and is near
Jonesboro. It is this business
which has become insolvent. Ac
cording to the schedule filed the
liabilities of the bankrupt exceed
his assets in the sum of $7,963,
32, the former being $10,425 and
the latter $2,462.70. An exemp
tion of only $490 is claimed.
TO THE PUBLIC.
We have just moved our drug
store from Little Rock to New
port, and we are filling up with
new, fresh goods. You will find
us next door to Wilmans Bros.
Don’t fail to visit the new first
class drug store. We will carry
one of the largest stocks of
drugs, patent medicines, toilet
articles, paints, oils, window
glass and varnishes, in town.
Goods delivered anywhere in
side corporation. Prompt ser
vice and polite treatment to all.
We want your trade.
Very truly,
John T. Jacocks,

A GOOD RIDDANCE.
The old depot at Hoxie, which
has long been a disgrace to the
two big railroad systems using
the shack, is gone, having made
its departure in flames about 2
o’clock Wednesday afternoon, to
gether with the Frisco lunch
room to the southeast of the
building.
It is probable that a nice brick
station will be built by the Iron
Mountain and Frisco for their
joint use and this building may
include a good hotel to be man
aged by Fred Harvey or Van
Noy.

SHOT BY BROTHER-IN-LAW.
French Bayou, Jan. 25.—L. R.
Simpson, a constable of Missis
sippi county, was shot and dan
gerously wounded Sunday at j
the home of the father of his
divorced wife, two miles east of
French bayou. Domestic trouble
originating in a dispute for the
possession of a child is thought
to have been the cause of the
shooting.
Simpson was taken to St. Jos
