still question. Rendering the words
more fully we read "the rising out
from among the dead ones" Not many
see this when they read that 1t teaches
a resurrection that leaves dead ones"
behind, and Revelations 2O:5 says that
they lie there a thousand years, and
then rise only to the judgment of con-
demnation (Rev. 20:11-15). So the
chief question htat concerns us about
the resurrection is our relation to the
saying, BLESSED and holy is he that
hath part in the first resurrection: on
slich the second death hath no pow
er" (Rv. 2O:6).

.SENA ESPANOLA At THE
HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY

Now, if you really want to know
what una sena espanola is, just make
il point to be at the Imperial high
school dining room about p. m. Fri
day. For the members of the Junior
class are arranging for a Spanish din
ner, so genuine, yet so novel, it would
startle Don Quixote himself
OF course we understand you do not
care anything about that, but then if
any one should happen to ask you, you
can say: "Oh, no. it's only so cents,
and for such a menu, too"

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1912-01-11
new YORK STORE
GOES TO WALL
First Failure of Importance to
Be Recorded. Here.

LIABILITIES ABOUT $4,000
Assets Consist Only of Stock of
Goods - Firm Sold 5000
Worth of Goods in'Two Months
and Much Mystery is Attached
to the Failure, Coming at This
Time.
The first failure of any Importance
i'll NeWp0rts history, and the only
general store to take bankruptcy pro-
ceedings here, was recorded last week
when the New York store owned by
the McMillon brothers went 10 the
wall.
There had been rumors for months
that all was not we'll with the financial
condition of this firm, but inasmuch
as the store was apparently doing
good business, the rumors were
thought by most Newport people to be
groundless.
In October this firm put on a piano
contest, and the record of votes cast in
that contest, also seemed to ,refute the
rumors as the votes polled indicated
that over $4,000 worth OF goods had
been sold during the eight weeks OF
the contest, and it is said that very
little money was checked out by the
firm during that period, and as result
there is considerable mystery in con-
nection with the failure.
Through his attorneys, o. Mention
of the firm filed a petition in bank
ruptcy last Wednesday afternoon. The
doors of the store were not closed until
afternoon Of that date. and the closing
created u sensation.
1t is said that the liabilities Of the
firm will range between 5000 and
$4,000, while assets consist wholly Of
the stock Of goods, which 1t is believed
by Mr.. McMillon will invoice about
5000. Very few Newp Nt- people
were hit in the failure, although there
are numerous small accounts against
the store ranging downward from 81 LOO.
About two years ago, the New York
store first began business here, open
ing up in the building adjoining the
First National bank. The stand is
the most centrally located In the city,
and success was pictured for the new
firm. The first stock of goods was un-
pretentious, but it gradually gave way
until good stock was on the shelves.
During the summer months the store
operated..a produce wagon, which sold
merchandise direct to the consumer In
exchange for country produce.
Nearly year ago, fire was discov-
cred in the back end of the store ON q
Saturday night, some time after the
store had been closed for the night.
The flames originated in drawer IN
the rear and its origin was an unsolvett
mystery. There we're reports current
at the time that the stock was over ia-
sured, but Mr.. McMillon denied this,
and the insurance was paid without
question, the damage being very slight.
From the time of the fire the firm
apparently increased it's voiumn OF
business rapidly. Other merchants
complained that during the piano con-
test sale that little heed was paid 10
the cost Of an article, but the business
grew, and white there were rumOrs
current, as it is always the case when
prices are slaughtered as they were IN
this instance, the failure came as .
surprise to the whole town.
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1912-01-11

of doing business, will prefer not to
take hand in convention.
Granger county, considered Mas
sey stronghold will be in the Sells
column, unless there is some crooked
work pulled off at the county conven-
ton, and it is not believed that the
good Republicans Of that county will
stand for anything crooked. The
same condition exists IN Claiborne
county while Hawkins county is safely
on the side of the congressman.
Greene county will he solid for Sells.
Washington will also back him up.
