Newport daily independent. (Newport, Ark.) 1901-1929, 1911-12-04


The interest in the union ser
vices at the Tabernacle is still on
the increase and the tent was
packed last night with eager
listeners.
The evangelist was on fire
and the sermon was great. He
plead as If dying, for men and
Women to live on a higher plane.
His theme, "Our Daily
Walks" Text: Psalms / 1-2::
Blessed is the man that walk
eth not in the counsel of the I'M
cody, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor stitch in the
seat of the scornful. But his de-
light is in the law of the Lord !;
and in his law doth he mediate
day and night"
It is impossible for a man to
remain righteous and walk with
ungodly men. David reaches a
climax at the very beginning Of
this chapter. / read after some
great authors. I say yes, that is
great, the writer understands
something of human nature.
But when | turn over to $50
Psalms I find that David is a
great author and that he under
stands both sides Of human ma
ture.
If you want to be happy keep
out Of bad company. The un-
cody man is the man that IS
not acquainted with God. The
man is the outbreak
ing sinner who swears and does
everything that is vile.
Not a man in my hearing, un-
less you are in line with Christ,
is a civilizer, for there is no civ
ilization without Christ. Great
men of earth have been men
who believed something and
stood for it.
Who is it that leads the youth
away from God? Is it the moral
man or the drunkard, the gam
bier, or thug? It is the moral
man. He is the switchboard
that turns many toward hell.
Can't be a good man unless he
is a Christian. You ought to bel
ashamed of yourself for not
up for Christ.
A mans life must crop out
somewhere. You would not live
in a country without churches.
Yet you don't half sustain them.
You can't be good citizen and
have your influence against the
best thing in the country. With
out the churches Of Christ we
would 60 laundering back to the
dark ages.
Suppose I was q drunkard and
should meet young man and
ask him to take a drink with me.
He would say mo, do you think
/ would drink with such thing
as that. He meets a morad man
and TIE man says Come and
small beer with me. :"

is to Be Passed on BY Con
gress as Result of Bill
Introduced.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-Whether
soldier who was captured in battle
and afterwards shot to death by the
enemy should be considered a de-
serter because OF his failure TO re-
port to his company and regiment is
a question which the committee on
invalid pensions OF the House will be
called upon to decide in West Vir-
GINA case.
Before leaving for his home to
spend the Christmas holidays Con-
gresham Hamilton introduced bill
to correct the military record OF
william E. Norman, formerly OF Ar
Enoldsburg, CalhoGn county, who was
killed during the Civil war some fif:y
wears ago. Mr.. Norman was soldier
in the Union army and was serving
with his company when he was cap
tured at Spencer by the forces under
General Albert Gallatin jenkins.
Soon after his capture he was pa
rolled and made vigorous Efforts to
rejoin his company. He tried to ger
to Ravenswood, where transportation
would probably have been Afforded
him. but the only way to get there
was to walk and owing to the hard
ships of war his feet had become so
sore he could not make the trip. He
then tried to enlist again at Bull
town, Braxton county, but having al
ready enlisted in another regiment
he was not accepted there. Before
he could regain his company and regi-
ment, although evidence shows he
was trying to do so, he was again
captured and this time was shot and
killed.
In as much as he never returned
to the regiment he was listed ON
ctally as a deserter and that hecord
now stands against him. 1t is to
correct this record and remove the
odium of the name of deserter from
his record that Congressman Hamtl'
ton has introduced his bill He an
ticipates little trouble in having il
passed after he presents the evidence
in support of the case.

Obituary.
JOHN K. WHITE.

Death called another of the veterans
OF the Grand Army of the Republic
when John K. White of Oak Grove
avenue, South Beloit, answered the
final summons at $50 o'clock Thursday
night.
One by one the gray-haired veterans
OF the great rebellion are dropping 81
lently to rest, and more and more the
hearts of the people are moved to
deepest sympathy and reverence, as
death removes a comrade from the fast
thinning ranks of the once mighty host
that saved the republic in its hour of
peril.
John K White was born IN Franklin
county, Vermont, September %, 1889.
He enlisted in Company 81, 106th
regiment, New York volunteers, on
August 81, 1862, at Camp Whitney,
New York His regiment was assigned
to the sixth corps, Army of the Poto-
mac
Mr. White was in twenty-Seven diff
ferent engagements during the war.
He was with Mcclellan in the seven
days battle on the peninsula, with
Burnside at Fredericksburg, and with
Grant in the Wilderness and Spottsyl
vania and at Cold Harbor He was in
the very thick of the federal defense
that repulsed the famous charge of
Pickett at Gettysburg and at the final
scene of surrender at Appomattox. The
one incident that he loved most to
dwell upon was the historic ride of
Sheridan from Winchester to Cedar
Creek in the Shenandoah campaign.
He saw the finish of that famous ride.
AS Sheridan rode down the ranks of
his wavering soldiers on his foam COW
cred black horse, he cried, "Come
back, boys, and see the sixth corps.
Mr.. White was slightly wounded at
Petersburg and had his gun knocked
out of his hand on two separate occa-
sions. He never fully regained his
health after the war, but always suf-
fered from the privations of his three
years of fighting in the thick OF the
great war.
At the close of the war, Mr.. White
was mustered out at OgdenSburg, New
York, in 1866. He came to Wisconsin
at the close of the war and on Deem
Der rs, 1867, he married Candice A.
Perrigo at Madison.
The newly married couple came to
Edgerton where they made their home
until seven years ago, when they moved
to Beloit. Mr.. White was member
of the G. A. R. post at Edgerton and
later at Beloit.
The funeral was conducted from the
house at 7:3O o'clock Sunday morning
by the comrades of the L. H. D. Crane
post, when military service was held.
Then the body was brought to Edger-
ton where the H. S. Swift post took
charge of the funeral, which was held
from the Methodist church at l o'clock,
Rev. G.. K. MacInnis officiating. The
remains were inferred on the family
lot in Fassett cemetery.
Mr.. White is survived by his widow
and three children, Mrs. Hiram Smith,
Mrs. Mark Shackleton and HI. w. White
of Beloit, and also John Ellsworth
White, son by former marriage, at
Cambridge, Wis; brother, George
White, and sister, Mrs. Amelia Clark
of Edgerton.

A meeting of the early pioneers of
Wheeler Prairie was held at the home
of Michael Campbell on Washington's
birthday.
The Commercial Hotel, under the
management of Geo. Madison, opened
it's doors to the public March End. $50
couple attended the opening party.

Is miles and ten laps, running every
