SURPRISE WEDDING.
Mr. Lockard Randy and Miss Katie Bishop Repair to Par sonage Unawares to
 Friends and Plight
 Their Troth.

Surprise weddings are nothing new in Newport, but they have not lost interest by reason of their number. Naturally the participants try to make the sur prise as complete as possible and in the latest instance, they seem to have succeeded perfectly. We refer to the marriage of R. Lockard Randy and Miss Katie Bishop, celebrated at 8:30o'clock Thursday night at the Methodist parsonage. Rev. c. Pope per formed a very impressive rite, the only parties present being a sister of the groom.
 The bride and groom are for the present staying at the home of the groom's parents and have received the congratulations of their many Newport friends.
 The bride is very bright and attractive young lady, who has been very popular in local society and the groom is an affable young gentleman of good family and bright future.
 The Independent extends con- gratulations and includes itself among their friends who hope for the newly wed, long and happy lives.

TOO TENDER IN YEARS.

Two little black urchins, named Will Scott and Johnnie Smith were brought before Justice Guy Smith last Thursday afternoon charged with that awful crime "shootin' craps" They fessed up as to the guilt of every other acquaintance, but denied their own, even though they had been caught in the act. Their tender years were too much for the merciful heart of Esquire Smith and he gave them their liberty.

VANDEVENTER
 QUITS THE RACE.
Opposition to Governor Davis Will Be Concentrated, Though Retiring Candidate Leaves
 His Friends Free.

Hon. A. F. Vandeventer of Morrilton on Thursday night an- nounced his withdrawal from the race for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor, narrowing the contest to Judge Carroll D. Wood and Gov. Jeff Davis. In a pub lished statement Mir. Vandeven- ter said that he recognized that Judge Wood had a stronger fol- lowing than he and for this req son he yielded the field, as the opponents of the governor to win must vote together.
 He further said that he left his friends free to investigate, think and act. He also expressed grateful thanks to his friends.
 With the administration of Governor Davis the issue, it must be admitted that a united oppo- sition makes the effort of the governor to secure a third term a much more difficult battle.

NEW YEARS BALL
Masqde Ball Given by Newport Club a Brilliant Social Sue cess Many Outside
 Guests Present.

fairs in Newport s socal life was the ball given by the. Newport Club on New Years eve at their beautifully furnished rooms, which had been made ready for the occasion by lavish decora- tions of tastily arranged ropes of cedar and holly with wreathes of mistletoe.
 It was a masquerade event in which quite a host took part and all enjoyed this added feature of what has become an annual event with this popular organization. The refreshments of champagne punch, ice cream in fruit, flower and brownie figures were deli cate, being nicely served by the Bracy Confectionery Company.
 When the old year had been numbered with it's predecessors and the bells and whistles of the < city were welcoming the advent of the new, the novel but not unpleasant experience of revers- ing the regular order of nascu- line initiative to leap years ways fell to the lot of the ladies there assembled, who assumed with grace and authority the leadership acquired that made men tremble for their rights. Jealousy is more a woman's frailty than mans and the gen. tlemen, who had rushed visiting girls, complain that they received few courtesies from home belles after the n1idnignS Shour.
 Dr. M. c. Weaver of James town, Hon. Chas. Coffin of Wal nut Ridge and MT. Farley Price as judges awarded the prizes for best costumes to MT. Charles Meyer, tinker from Tinkerville and to Mrs. George Hays as the old fashioned girl" MT. Meyer received handsome silk um- brella and Mrs. Hays hand some mirror, the presentation, being made by Mr. Coffin.

1t seems necessary to general and
complete understanding Of the attitude
of the American people on tho tariff
question that new classification should
be made out. We are already some-
what familiar with four classes In this
relation, the free traders. or those who
call themselves such: the tariff tor
revenue, With possibly incidental pro
lection people. those who believe in the
protective policy but are of the opinion
that The time has come when . reduc-
ton of the tariff on certain, articles
would be expedient. and the ''stand.
paiters," who are opposed to any
reopeninR Of the tariff question what
ever. The suggestions of those who
favor revision take various forms and
doubtless great diversity Of sentiment IL
to be- found with respect to the articles
to which such revision should apply.
To those there ia now apparently q new
class to be added which for convenience
may be called the "fv hiRhers,' and
this class is putting i self in readiness
to build back 6ree should it observe tho
revisionis,s really getting down to work.
The most prominent representative OF
this class to date 10 Wilbur F. Wake.
