 Tuesday evening, December second, should be memorable night in the history of tthe biggest little city in the staten as J. G. Hartigan, so ex- pressively and truly paid compliment to progressive Newport. In every toast offered by home speakers, re- cognition was paid to the sentiment that any city to be alive to it's oppor- tunities must appreciate and there fore be willing to cooperate by en- couragement in the acquisition of new railroads and industries. Every for eign representative voiced response to this feeling in assuring the business men of Newport that such sentiment as was manifested in this banquet, celebrating the acquisition of our new depot, found a hearty appreci- ation with railroad officials. The gen. eral theme of the whole event was that in their harmony of interests 8 mutual good will and esteem should exist between the officials of the Iron Mountain Railway Company and the business men of Newport to best pro- mote their respective business in- terests.
 | The event becomes memorable, not only as brilliant social function, but in that Newport has first evidenced to the represe natives of the most i'm portant factor of and contributor to her growth-the railroads-a praise worthy ambition and spirit to fight l further battles in the commercial field and win further industries and ex- tensions of business.
 The dining hall of the Hazel in red, white and blue flags and drapiugs, the latter woven artistically from chande- Her to chandelier, following the line of the long tables, beautifully arrayed in snowy linen and laden with tempt ing dishes, greeted the eye of nearly one hundred seekers of the festive I board. The decorations were the handiwork of Mrs Bernstein and could hardly have been arranged ill prettier effect.
 The wisdom of the committee i'll charge iii placing the affair entirely in the hands of MT. H. Bernstein can not be doubted by those present as the menu was not only elaborate and well selected, but served with equal success, in which MT. J. E. Doherty proved an able assistant.
 At each plate was neat and ap- propriate souvenir in a button photo graph of the new building, whose completion was being celebrated. Also beautiful menu cards, done in two colors on a gray folder by the Tetwiler Printing Company.

 Excellent music was furnished for the occasion by Little Rock orches- tra with piano accompaniment and by the time cigars had been reached up- on the menu, all present were in that mood where the courage of even the modest and timid is fired to speech making, where wit and humor sparkle as the foaming champagne which pre- ceded them, where friendly thrust is countered Dy good humored banter, where in the generous good feeling of
