That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
nervous system.
People can’t help feeling lazy and worn
out if impure blood flowing through all
the organs is poisoning them and para
lyzing their activity.
Spring is the season of blood impurity.
Nine people out of ten would feel better
through use of
SELLS’ SARSAPARILLA.
This is a blood purifier that really puri
fies. Pure rich blood means buoyant
health. Be your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

PUBLIC SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT.
Class of Four Acquit Themselves
Creditably In Graduating Exercises
Before a Crowded House—Honor
able John H. Hinemon Delivers
Address of Evening—Presen
tation of Diplomas by
President of Board.
The class of 1903 have passed from
students of the Newport Public School
into the ranks of alumni of this hon
ored institution of learning, which
each year becomes the alma mater ofi
a larger element of our citizenship.
And the men and women who go
forth each year into life’s field of la
bor better equipped and skilled to
fight the battles of the world by rea
son of the impress of such walls upon
their minds and characters, constitute
a portion of our people, who reflect
credit upon the school and contribute
magnificently to our commercial, mor
al and intellectual upbuilding.
In recognition of this service of our
school system, the public never fails
to manifest its approval and support
by turning out en masse to the final
exercises of the graduating class and
the seniors in turn respond to the de
mands of the hour through orations
and essays of a high standard that af
ford pleasure to the assembled audi
ence of friends and patrons.
The commencement of 1903 was in
keeping with those of past years. The
opera house had been decorated
lavishly in the class colors of lavender
and white and the stage upon which
were seated the board of directors,
teachers and graduating class, seemed
a massive bower of roses, potted
plants, palms and ferns.
Mrs. T. H Reamey’s rendition of a
catchy piano solo, pleased her audi
ence, being the opening number on
the program.
Rev. T. 0. Mahan invoked the
blessings of the ruler of the universe
and Mrs. Maude Marshall followed in
fine voice, witn a vocal solo “The
Angels’ Serenade.”
The first oration was by Hugh S.
Parish who found the “Secrets of
Success” to be energy, application
and economy, evidencing marked
ability in the treatment of his subject
ai\d a gift of fine accentuation.
Miss Effie May McCollum in an
essay entitled “The Psalms of Life”
dwelt with force upon the Christian
idea of life, remembering the immor
tality of the soul and closing with
that beautiful stanza from Tbanatop
sis’ closing lines of how to live, so
that when the final summons comes,
I death may have no horrors.
The second essay by Miss Jamie
Irby followed the line of thought sug
gested by the subject “Unconscious
Influence.” The reader impressed
with force the responsibility of man
for his influence, which to be ever
helpful and beneficent, requires one
to be constantly on guard and watch
ful of the purity of his own heart.
Garland Hurt, Jr., has the elements
of a public speaker, being gifted with
a voice that is capable of oratorical
j inflection and stage presence that
I gives him magnetism. His oration
was a thoughtful treatise upon the
“Uses of Adversity” in developing
character.
The other musical numbers met
with vigorous applause from the audi
ence and are deserving of specific
mention, but for lack of space upon
our part. They consisted of a vocal
solo “Burst Ye Apple Buds,” by Mrs.
E. D Bracy; a very pretty solo “All
is Fair in Love and War,” by Mrs.
fJenrirK Hiltiimisfi1 rilinrtef Mesarw. W
C. Wharton, J. D. Neal, B. W. Stain
back and O. M. Bowen and a vocal
solo, “Please Leave the Gate Ajar,”
by Miss Hazel Jones.
Hon. John H. Hinamou, state sup
erintendent of public instruction, de
livered the address to the class. He
is not a man of oratorical power and
his voice approaches very closely the
conversational, yet the subject mat
! ter of his address is replete in good
| advice and the simplicity of his man
: ner of presentation does not impair
the force of his thought. Tne speaker
by numerous illustrations of men who
have arisen from the lowest walks of
! life to greatness dwelt upon the
i possibilities of the American boy in
[contrast with those countries where
class distinctions, birthrights and
prejudice curtail such opportunities,
j His advice was to aim high and to be
! energetic in the accomplishment of
their ambitions.
The awarding of diplomas was made
by the president of the board, Hon.
Gustave Jones in a few appropriate
remarks. The active interest in the
schools, which the speaker has mani
fested as a member of the board,
caused his words of advice to be re
ceived with closest attention. He ap
pealed to his hearers that they build
up and make better their schools,
as they had their stores, commerci
al enterprises and churches. Citing
statistics, which showed that lesf
than ten per cent of the pupils ever
completed the full course of study, he
inquired as to the reasons therefor,
exhorting the parents and our citizen
ship in general that they manifest a
greater interest in the work of the
school and thus place it upon a stand
ard with those of Little Rock, Fort
Smith, Jonesboro and Pine Bluff.
The exercises were concluded by
a benediction by Rev. J. W. Smith.

GRAND STAND PLAY
BY GOVERNOR DAVIS.
Hot Springs, May 22.—In an inter
view with a representative of The
Arkansas Democrat this morning
Atty-Gen. Murphy seemed inclined to
look upon the action of the governor
regarding the legislative acts as yet
unapproved by him as merely an
other graudstand play, and that the
governor was trying to shift respon
sibilities that were his, and his alone,
upon other shoulders. In his dictated
statement ColoneJ Murphy confined
himself strictly to the legal phase ol
the matter, and presented his judicia
opinion in these words:
“Davis’ contention is illogical.
“If correct, all bills would have tc
be presented to him during the ses
sion of the legislature, which has beer
held by the supreme court not to be
the case.
“If the bills have not been present
ed to him, this may still be done anc
if he approves them they will become
laws.
What the effect will be if he refuses
to act upon them at all is less clear.
“If they possess merit, he can pre
serve them by his approval.
“If they do not possess merit anc
are vicious, nothing will be lost.
“Tho responsibility is on him, 01
will be when they are presented tc
him, and cannot be shifted at all—
either on the legislature or the en
rolling committee.
