 The Elks Home was the scene of this beautiful affair and each detail was planned with a care ful and exquisite taste. It was a very handsomely gowned as- sembly and many new and at tractive dances were featured. The music by the home Orches- tra was unusually fine, and a midnight turkey supper served by the ladies of St. Pa0ls church was but another elegant fea- Iture of the evening.
 The grand march was led by Mr. Joe l.. Bevens and Miss O. rinne Smith of Memphis, aftel which the dance was on.
 Those present for the dance were: Misses Corinne Smith o1 Memphis, Ruth Ottenheine Kathleen McCaffery and Ade

Searcy Hi 25-Newport Hi '.

In fast and snappy game be- tween football teams, repre- senting the High Schools of Searcy and Newport, the Searcy team being heavier came out with the big end of the score.
 In the first quarter, the New port bunch plowed through Scar cy's line for their first touch down of the season. This en- outraged the home boys and in the second quarter went after Searcy with much determina- tion. The ball sesawed up and down the field until the last three minutes of play, when in a hard tackle Wylie McMinn, quarterback for the home boys, had his nose badly broken, and had to retire from the field. Bevans was substituted for Me- Minn and with the ball close up on Newport's goal a forward pass was missed and the ball went to Searcy on Newport's s twenty-five yard line. Then Searcy ran around left-end for a touch down, tying the score.

MOurns Death of Old Friend.

 MT. P. H. Van Dyke,
 Editor Newport Independent,
 Newport, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 No doubt this will be a sur- prise-hearing from me in this state.
 I am in charge of this boat. engaged in a general survey of the river, our trip ending at a point called Warrenton, six miles below Vicksburg, Missis- sippi, thence our return home Memphis. It will take until January in next year to com- plete the work, occupying about four months time.
 In writing to you, ] desire to express my deep regret at hear- ing of the death of one that was dear to me-J. Frank Caldwell being raised together, school mate and soldier comrade. En- listing in Captain Morg Bate mans Company, 1st Arkansas Cavalry, Frank and I were term ed kid soldiers, and were in our first battle on the first day of May, 1862.
 It is with profound regret that 1 chronicle so many of my old and esteemed friends passing beyond, in so continuous success sion.
 MT. Van Dyke, rest assured that 1 have and always will hold the good people of Jackson colm- ty in kind remembrance and my thoughts often go back to the pleasant and 1 can say from the bottom of my heart, the only and happiest days of my life. 
 I am enjoying good health and the latter end of next week we expect to reach Lake Providence, Louisiana, so you see we are progressing slowly, being about 20 miles distant from our pres ent stand.
 You can say through the col umns of your paper, "HoWdy' to my Newport and Jackson ;county friends, and with kind remembrance to self and family, and a wish for the ultimate suc- cess for the year 1914, l am. ! Yours very truly, w. A. JOYCE.

 The Newport team showed much improvement and many thanks are due Mr. Vernon Sin gles who coached the Newport boys to have the first football team representing Newport, and also Dr. Nelligan and Mir. Dua. away who helped the boys along.
