Newellton was thrown into a state
Of excitement Thursday morning
when it was learned that the safe in
the Gem Saloon, owned by Mr.. L.
de Vries, had been blown open the
previous night and robbed of some
sixty-odd dollars or more. The
burglars, however, overlooked about
thirty-five dollars in the cash regis
ter. The noise from the explosion
was heard by quite q number but
everybody being in bed no attention
was paid to same. it being thought
by all that the report was from dis
charge Of fire arms or possibly dyna-
mite used for blasting in the near
by levee camps.
The safe door was blown open and
the floor and ceiling Of the building
damaged and nearly all window
panes in the house were broken by
the conclusion. Entrance to the sa-
loon was probably effected by forcing
the front doors with an AK and
egress was made through the rear,
as the doors to the front were found
propped with chairs. A number of
empty beer bottles bore mute EVIL
dence that the visitors appetites
were also satisfied before taking their
departure. Mr.. de Vries, the pro-
prietor of the saloon, was in New
Orleans when the burglary occurred.
It is learned that the Tallulah
Post Office was also robbed on the
same night and stamps to the value
of five hundred dollars taken.
Several suspicious characters have
been noticed about here Of late but
have disappeared since the robbery
of Wednesday night. No further clue
has been obtained.
This is said to be the FIRST time in
the history Of Newellton that q rob-
berry 90 daring has been perpetrated
here.

COLLECTING ELECTION RETURNS

COLLECTING ELECTION RET URNS.
Methods of collecting election re-
turns have made a great advance
during recent years, since telephone
lines have been pushing out into
lonely neighborhOods.
A few years ago, a large part OF
the returns had their first relay IN
some farmers wagon or livery team.
A local newspaper or the city dali
les would arrange to have some one
hitch up old Dobbin, and drive to
| the nearest telephone instrument. If
the votes didn't happen to get coun-
ted until after dark, it might be
morning before the cautious messen-
ger felt like taking journey over
rough roads
The efficiency OF collecting returns
varies greatly in different states,
and congressional districts. In some
localities, newspapers and public Of
ficials make it a sporting event to
get their news on the wire at the
earliest possible moment. Complete
returns from large and scattered dis
tricts are often secured by 6 p. M,
/ OF election day. In others, a habit of
/ delay is common, which keeps can
I didates and the public on the anx--
ious seat for days, if returns are
close.
In most cases, there is no reason
for slow collection of returns. In
/ almost all remote districts the tele
phone is now so ubiquitous that a
few hours ride should connect with
the news agencies. 1t would seem
least the morning after election so
as if SO per cent of the vote of every
state ought to be on the wire at
that complete returns should be in
the newspaper offices in time for pull
location in the evening editions of
/ Wednesday.
/ Newspaper correspondents should
realize that they don't look hand
some to the public when the results

ANCIENT HISTORY
IN OLD CEMETARY

The old cemetery, known as ''Kraci-
kshank's" cemetery, located north OF
F. j. Woods residence and back of
Mrs. I. Baruch's residence property,
consisting of about three acres, has
been abandoned for cemetery pur--
poses. There are still few head
stones on this property, more or
less of them having fallen to the
ground, and the underbrush and de
bris has accumulated all about the
property This property should be
cleaned up and put in order by city
authorities. We understand that this
property will revert back to the
Kruickshank heirs when it is wholly
abandoned as a cemetery. We would
therefore deem it wise for the city
to clean it up and preserve it as a
cemetery and thereby continue to
hold it. In looking over the old head
stones, we picked up the following
| items:
Sarah A, wife of Asa L. CLANCY,
died April %, 1850; aged rs years
and months.
Frederick G., son of D. F. and E.
F. Emerson, died Oct. 26, 1861, aged
| 8 years II months.
Francis N, wife of K. K, Kline,
died Feb. 6, 1857, aged 27 years, 10
months and days.
George H, son of S. B., and AL.
Cole, died Oct. "a, 1856, aged 8 years
and II months.
Esther J., wife of S. N. Cleveland,
died Sept. %, 1860, aged % years,
| / month.
Isaac Chandler, died August IA
1866, aged So years.
Polly, wife of Robert Stillson,died
April IS, 1868, aged 70 years, II
months and days.
Es. ma Norton, wife of D. Lyman,
5crL May "a, 1850, died March 2,1874
Edgar, son of M. J. and j. N. Nor
ton died Feb Is, 1864.
Viola NJ daughter of M. and J. M.
Norton, died May %, 1869, aged II
! years, month and % days.
Hepsabeth E., wife of L. Blackmer
died May 30, 1861. aged 20 years, 4
months and IS days.
Nancy R., wife of G. n. Ripley, di-
ed July II, 1855, aged q years, IL
months and Is days.
Charles Elmer, son of T. and L.
Bacon, died Aug. "a, 1860, ageo VI,
months and 20 days.
The above paragraphs, giving the
dates of deaths, etc, will bring back
to memory many old time settlers,
whose remains are still lying in
this old cemetery. We shall publish
other records from the other two
cemeteries similar to the above. Many
of the old settlers will be interest
ed in these dates and names of
friends gone on before.

BREWERY AD.
VANCES BEER
FOURTY CENTS
New Price Goes Into Effect
tuesday Morning

The local brewery has advanced
the price of beer forty cents a bar
rel This advance went into effect
Tuesday morning Although the tax
put on beer by the government was
fifty cents, the local brewery will
only advance the price forty cents.
This takes some of the burden off
the saloon keeper.
The war tax measure went into
effect Friday. The local brewery is
sending out circular letters to its
customers informing them of the
advance in price and the reason for
it.
In nearly all, if not all parts Of
the country, the breweries are put
ting the entire tax of fifty cents on
the price. Gustaye Becherer, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Brewers as
sociation of Milwaukee, said regard
ing the war tax, There is no mo-
ney in the brewery business, and
though there is no concerted action,
it is certain an advance of fifty
cents viii have to be made by all"

sT0PPiNG THE ROAD HOGS.

STOPPING THE ROAD HOGS
The wife Of an automobile owner
said a few days ago, that she did
not enjoy driving behind her hus-
band as Wen as she used to when
machines We're less numerous. He is
4 careful, prudent man, who runs
att moderate speed.
aIf you turn out and give the 9th
81 machine a good wide berth. the
lady went on. .the other fellow usual
81 keeps right along in the middle
81 the road.
This is SO irritating that many men
uiu not turn until the last possible
moment. Then a slight miscalcula-
zion. and all hands are in the ditch.
Automobiles have this year reached
the point where if handled with
some Judgment, they are as fnexpen-
sive as Is horse and carriage. The
ISOLATION Of the farm is broken, a
source OF pleasure, health. and profit
"a wider horizon, is opened up.
But for careful people, much of
this pleasure is offset by the hogs
of Tie road. In many cases,the trou-
bic is liquor. Too many persons, the
SWIFT panorama of nature, the thrill
of The flying car. are nothing, unless
they can stop and swap a set OF high
balls
Wen travelled roads are infested
with tribe of daredevils,who ought
not TO steer amy more dangerous We
hIcIe than Il plough. They think of a
county highway as a race ack,whert
they can show off their spectacular
driving before the eyes of admiring
rustics
