Sip BottIing Corporation
 Getting Ready for Business.

J. Wise Brown, managing di- rector of the Sip Bottling Corporation of Memphis, is in our city making arrangements for opening the company's plant here.
 The company have leased the large concrete farmers union warehouse, and all machinery and fixtures are being installed by Ed l.. Storms of Memphis, who will be the general superin- tendent of the plant.
 This plant expects to manu- facture everything in the soda fountain line, including soft drinks of all kinds, syrups for fountains and drug stores, and will also have ice cream cones and straWs, so there will be ab- solutely no reason for sending away from home for these arti- cles when you can get them right at your own door. Later on an ice cream factory will be installed. Newport will be the center of a large shipping ter ritory which will be from Little Rock to Poplar Bluff.
 Mir. Brown says he believes in buying everything for his fac tory from Newport that he can possibly do, and has bought the finest team of mules in Jackson county from R. J. Huguley, a large delivery wagon is to be made by J. L. Younger and he has bought out the Bottling works of J. o. Powell.
 Newport is glad to have this ewbusiness open up, in the city, which will be ready next week.

Keel Secures
 Instructed Verdict
In Second Case Involving Treat ment of COnvicts On County
 Farm.

In the second case in which John H. Keel was defendant as a result of the grand jury's in vestigation of the county con- vict farm, the court instructed verdict of acquittal because the evidence showed that the convict named Nichols, who was refused medical attention for a wound, had served his time and was real lv not a convict at the time.
 According to the states testi mony, defendants guard refused fat meat and hot water asked by Nichols for hand wound, or to give him any medicine for the same. The states prosecuting witness sWOre that he was cOm- pelled to keep up his end at saw when his hand was badly in- famed as the result of a wound from accidentally coming in con- tact with a tooth of the saw. No testimony for the defense was heard. As the penalty in such a case is fine for not less than that part of the fine and costs not yet worked out and the con- vict in this case had worked out his fine, the court instructed a verdict of acquittal.
 No sooner was this case con- cluded than a third trial of the defendant was entered upon. In this action, the state alleges proper clothing and shoes were refused a convict. Phillips, Hill house & Boyce are counsel for the defendant and Prosecuting Attorney Erwin is looking after the states case.

DE>fRTED TENT
 PROVES MYSTERY
Camp Outfit Below City Found By Officer But No Owner
 Can Be Located.

A deserted tent located in a thicket beyond the old Kelly mill site, west of the city near the river was recently discover ed by rivermen, who reported the same to Constable Clyde Wood, who has made an investi- gation but can find nothing to give him a clue to the rather mysterious surroundings.
 There are no tracks about the tent to indicate anyone has been there recently, nor could any letters or papers be found to in- Gicate who had inhabited this temporary place. Yet there were three large country hams, two buckets of country lard, two quilts, a wagon sheet, lan- tern, gig, telescope, a pair of No. 6 or 2 bootees, two gallons of coal oil, cooking utensils, 75 No. 12 shells, 6 or 8 boxes of 22 cartridges and some A pistol cartridges. These belongings were turned over to J. D. Myers for safe keeping.
 Two blue oars found in the tent and the, fact that a blue painted boat fitted for gasoline engine, but with the engine gone was tied at the river bank nearby, leads the officer to be- lieve that the campers also were the owners of this boat hull, up- on which were painted in white letters Sam Nelson xxx, 8 Cot ter X."

Federal Game Laws Opposed.

Federal Game Laws Opposed.
 It took but two convictions, and the publicity which follow ed, to show the difference be- tween federal and state game laws. It is conceded that every section of the state is now ob- serving the federal game laws, where they ignored state laws in the past as freely as if there were no laws.
 District Supervisor E. V. Wis., art is constantly on the go, and being an ardent sportsman, he gets back into sections of the state a less enthusiastic off, l ciall would ignore. Though few papers get back into these sec tions, which are frequented by hunters and trappers only, the news gets ahead of the official as though the birds themselves gave out the warning. The hunt CTS are afraid to kill migratory game, and if they do they art afraid to offer it for sale fol fear the man to whom it is of fered is the federal official tt whom the law enforcement hal been assigned.

last three months. They could hardly realize that there were such good prospects in store for our little city, but agreed to make an effort to secure the guarantee of 75 per cent of the consumers and met with splen- did success and secured 84 per cent, which was immediately expressed to Mir. Hammel and by return mail we received the $1,OO0 check, a deposit of good faith on the part of Mir. Ham, mel and MT. Crossland. After considerable correspondence pro and con, we agreed upon a fran chise satisfactory to both par ties, which gave the Co-opera- tive Electric Light Company a franchise for 20 years and for the franchise they were to fur nish the city one 60 Watt lamp on every street corner in the city and in addition one 200 candle power in our town clock tower and all the lights in the city hall and pump station, at the sewer building. We enjoy this privilege now without cost ing the city one cent and have better service than we have ev- CT had. No city in Arkansas has as good a contract as New ports free electric lights.
 On the Sunday before the Monday that we passed the or dinances Mir. Page, the attorney for the old company, and MT. Murphy, the president, both of  Peoria, H., appeared on the scene and argued with me for the protection of their invest ment, that granting a new franchise would be a loss to them of a $4O,OOO investment in this city. I told them that MT. Hammel had fully complied with our requirements and had deposited $1,O0O in good faith and that the city would certain iy carry out their part to the letter of agreement.
 leave my case in your hands and humbly ask for a second term as an endorsement of my present term.
