CAUGHT BIG COON

George Brewer and Jesse Cross CT caught a coon while hunting in the bottoms southeast of town early Faiday morning that was the largest ever seen here. It measured three feet and two inches from the tip of its nose to tip of its tail, and weighed sixteen pounds and two ounces.
 They are pretty successful hunt CTS and never fail to bring in game when they go out. During last winter Mr. Brewer caught E eoons and sold more than $50 worth of fur. All these were caught with his coon dog Drive" which is one of the best in the country.

PASSENGER TRAIN WR ECKED

Passenger train No. 210, due here going west at 7:43 a. m. was wrecked about midway between Fitzgerald and Reamy, a few miles east of Black river, Wednesday morning.
 Three cars left the track, the Pullman, chair car and smoker, and although the train carried about the usual passenger list, no one was injured, except for a se- we're shaking up and bad scare.
 The wreck was caused by a broken rail. The engine and mail car passed over, the three rear cars leaving the track. The train was running at about its usual speed, and 1t seems a miracle that no one was hurt.

WILL SEEK REELECTION
Judge Pearce Who Made a 0Cod Record as County Judge
 Asks for Reelection

Judge Cul. L. Pearce, who an- nOunces his candidacy for the off, flee of county and probate judge, IS no stranger to the people of In- dependence county, having been born and reared in Independence county. Neither Is he stranger to the duties of the office he seeks, having formerly served the county in this capacity, and has good record to his credit.
 Judge Pearce's administration was one of progress and economy, together with system and busi- ness-like management along all lines. This is especially true of his good roads policy. He built more substantial bridges and more miles of permanent roads during his term than has ever been done during any other administration. He did good work for the county in building up and fostering the good roads sentiment, and never lost an opportunity to encourage this most important movement.
 Being of a progressive nature and having a desire to be of ser vice to his county, he naturally made some enemies, as any man will who gets out of the old ruts and pursueS an aggressive policy. As a result, some ugly charges were made against him. But ev cry Commission of Accounts, every Quorum Court and every Grand Jury during his term of office en- dorsed his management of the af- fairs of the county, which goes to show that the charges against him must have been founded upon prejudice and hot air.
 The records of the county show that his administration was an economical one, and that the busi- ness of the county was handled to good advantage.
 He IS now better prepared than ever to take care of the duties of this very important position, and in the event of his election the people of the county are assured of a progressive and business-like administration of the county's affairs.

PAYS 13YEAR OLD DEBT
Oklahoma Man Gets Religion and Pays Debt in Newark That
 is Long Past Due

B. J. Reynolds, of Checota, Ok, has religion. Its the genuine, hon. est kind, too-the kind that makes a man pay his debts, and the kind that the world stands so much in need of.
 In 1898 Mr. Reynolds was a member of the Arkansas regiment of soldier boys who inlisted to help whip Spain. In the same regiment was A. NJ. Edgar of this place, and to be neighborly Mr. Reynolds borrowed $2.50 from MT. Edgar just before the troops were mustered out at Anniston, Ala, in 1898, a little more than thirteen years ago.
 It was matter of small conse- quence and soon passed entirely from MT. Edgar's memory. In fact, he does not remember Rev holds, and even yet is unable to place him.
 But about a year ago MT. Edgar received a letter from Reynolds saying that he (Reynolds) owed him (Edgar) $2.50, borrowed at the time above stated, and stating that he had professed religion and joined the church and wanted to live right, and was therefore go- ing to square up all the old scores. He asked MT. Edgar how much it would take to pay the debt and interest. Mir. Edgar, having en- tirely forgotten the matter, wrote him that he remembered nothing about such a debt, but stated that If Reynolds thought he owed him anything, and wanted to pay it, to pay whatever he thought was right. In a few days he received q letter from Reynolds enclosing his personal note for $5. MT. Ed gar still thought very little about the matter, so little, in fact, that he laid the note aside with some other papers and had again for gotten it.
 On Wednesday of this week he received a letter from Reynolds enclosing apostal money order for $5.50 in payment of the note and interest.
 A religion like that is bound to be genuine, and its great pity there IS not more of that kind.

NEIGHBORS ENTERTAIN

The Royal Neighbors gave a Halloween entertainment at the hall Tuesday night which was greatly enjoyed by a large crowd. A ghost drill was a feature that was weird enough for all, and so perfectly did the ladies disguise themselves that not even their own husbands knew them, Mrs. w. D. Hinson played the witch and acted the part so well that she scared some of her nearest neigh bors so bad they had heart pal pitation. Mrs. J. 1. Sturdivant played fortune-teller, and the chunks of cheering information she handed out to some of the inquiring ones would make Mad anne Zolyznixbalcree turn green with eVeny. Its plainly evident that she should have been a professional medium and sooth- saver.
 Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cake and coffee were served in the banquet hall. The evening was pleasantly spent by all, and the ladies proved them selves not only Royal Neighbors but royal entertainers as well.

DISCONTINUE HOT SHOT"?

The railroad company has filed with the Arkansas Railroad Commission an application for permission to discontinue pass enger trains Nos. 231 and 232, between Newport and Batesville.
 Application has been docketed by the railroad commission for hearing at its office in Little Rock on Wednesday, November 14.
 These trains were put into service some two years ago at the instance of the people along the line from Newport to Batesville in order to give better connection with main line trains at Newport.
 If these trains are discontinued the service will be as bad as before they were put on, when 1t took two days to make the trip to Little Rock or nearly any other point on the main line because of the poor connection at Newport.
 If we want these trains con- tinued 1t will be necessary to make a fight for 1t before the con- mission at its meeting in Little Rock on the 18th of November.

TAX LEVIES ARE MADE
Quorum Cort Fixes Rate of Tax ation and Flakes Appro-
 priations For the Year

The Quorum Court met al Batesville last week with Judge A. J. Craig presiding and 43 Just ices of the peace in attendance.
 The report of Assessor C. M Finn, which was submitted to the court, shows the total assessed value of property. in the county to be $6,097, ,251.
 This IS an inCreSe of more than S300,000 over the assessment fol last year, and should yield about $2,500 more reyeune for the county than was received last year but as the county has been run ming behind little, the rate ot taxation was not changed and vii remain the same as last year.
 The levy is as follows: county general, three mills; pauper fund one-half mill; bridges, one mill; special road, one-half mill; general road, three mills.
 The following appropriations were made by the court: for coun- ty general purposes, $16,000; for pauper fund, $2,500; bridge fund, $5,000; special road fund, $2,500; general road fund, $16,000.
 The court refused to make an appropriation to pay a county ag- ricultural demonstrator, and this work will have to be discontinu- ed. The federal government has been paying half the expense of this work in this county for the past two years, and proposed to continue doing so, but the mem- bers of the court did not seem to consider the work worth the cost, and refused to make an appropri- ation.
 Reports submitted to the court show a total actual net increase in the assessed value of real and per sonal property of $311,447. Of this increase, $174,271is made upon the property of the railroads and $141,655 upon the real estate of the county. There was final re- duction in the assessment of per sonal property from the assessed valuation of 1910 to the amount of $4,479, leaving the total net in- crease on all property 311,447. The equalization board effected a raise of $25,132 in the valuation of real estate.
 The total rate of taxation in Newark for the year will be 265 mills, divided as follows: State 6s mills; county, 8 mills; local school 7 mills; corporation 5 mills. This is $2.68 on the hundred dollars.

RAISE REACHES MILLION

The aggregate of assessments raised by the board of equalization is from $300,0O0 to $350,000, being confined to real property with two exceptions, as the board did not have time to go over the personal property assessments. This with the raises made by Assessor Char. les E. Smith, will make the total 1911 assessment forJackson county about one million dollars in excess of that of 1910.-Newport Inde- pendent.

they are too thin is that something is

LAS a remedy I would advise them
to sleep on their sides. Women sleep
too much on their backs. This brings
about internal disorders and takes
them TO the surgeons"
