JEWISH NEW YEAR SEPTEMBER 30. How Date for Holiday is Determined, Astronomical Observations Being Used for Purpose Cannot
 Begin on Sunday.

Rosh Hoshana, the Hebrew New Year, will be appropriately observed in Newport September 30. This religious holiday will be followed by the ten peniten- tial days concluding on October 9 with Yom Kippur, the day of atonement.
 The Jewish year IS rather a peculiar one and may consist from 353 to 385 days, and it's calendar is further complicated in order that the fixed feasts may not fall upon certain days and thus avoid an interference with the peculiar ceremonies ot each. Hence-the Jewish year must not begin on the first day of the week, Sunday.
 The year just closing is leap year and consequently Rosh Hos hama will fall upon September 3O instead of the 10th or 18th as IS usual. If the new moon falls on Sunday or the first day of the week, which might, in regular order of things, be New Years Day, the day following will be the first of the year. Therefore in order that fixed feasts may not be interfered with the Jewish New Years Day must not fall on Sunday, Wednesday or Fri day. To keep the year in its place, however, changes are made in the two months. Mar chesven (Chesvan) and Cisley (Kisley), in the same manner as the calendar of the common era is intercalated i'll February.

COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Shows That SS,490 Was Subscribed te Secure location of veneering Plant for Newport Those
 Who Subscribed.

NEWPORT, ARK, Sept. 9th, '05 Jos. M. STATION, Chairman
 Citizens Meeting of May "A.
 We, your committee, beg leave to make the following report of subscriptions obtained and re- port of our negotiations with the American Lumber and Panel Co.,, for the purpose of locating this industry in our city. We investigated the Kelley Lumber Co. site, obtained an >option on it, but abandoned that proposition and obtained a cheaper site and a more acceptable one. We now have options on enough property in Morris addition to locate the industry. It will be necessary to change the county road and move It north about 200 feet, but have talked with the county judge and city aldermen, and feel sure the change in the road can be effected without any trouble. The total cost of the property and the cost of moving the plant here, which we have agreed to, will be about $5,200. %, as near as we can figure it now.
 The lumber company will de- posi- with us $1, ,0O0.00 cash as an evidence of their good inten- tions before we buy this proper ty. They will agree to pay out a weekly payroll of S500.00 per week for ten years, exclusive of high-priced men. This pay roll is to be for men employed about the plant.
 Below find subscription list, to which there will be some addi- tions, as some parties have not vet been seen.
Newport daily independent., 1905-09-06

As can be seen from the above it will only take about 75 per cent. of the subscription to com plete the deal with the lumber company. We realize that this is a very bad time of the year to collect these subscriptions, and will therefore put off. the call as .iong as possible, and will then try to make it in two payments. MT. Beardsley, the representa- tive of the company, is here, ready to close the negotiations, and we expect to make con- tract with him covering all the details in the next day or SO, and hereby notify all the sub- scribers that they will be ex- pected to pay subscriptions up the amount needed.
