MT. Barnett, after waiting some time for his pay, took the matter up with the govern ment and was informed that the check had been forwarded to R. A. Barnett at Batesville some time in October. Last Thursday he received another letter from Washington, say ing that the check had been cashed here. Investigation showed that the First National Bank had cashed the check, which was endorsed "R.

 GOAL TO NEEDY Snow Prevents Volunteers From Cut ting Wood For Distribution

The fuel situation in Newport to- day began to assume serious aspect, but if people are able to conserve their supplies until Monday the sit uation will be cleared up, as local dealers say they will receive ship n ents on that date.
 Three or four families are said to be suffering for lack of fuel in their homes, and this morning, in order to alleviate the situation, c. R. Pate and l.. McDougald formed a body of volunteer wood cutters for work southwest of Newport this afternoon, but the continued snow prevented the wood cutters from carrying out their plans.
 Tn the meantime, MT. Pate has arranged for car load of slack coal to be distributed among the suffering, who, however, are few in number. MT. Pate will ask the business men to bear this expense, which they will gladly do.
 Everyone should conserve their fuel. This is no time for extravaganza.

.COLD WEATHER
 AND MORE SNOW
Fall of Snow Continues Nearly All Day and Warning Is Given
 Growers of Stock.

When daylight dawned this morn ing it revealed the fact that we were in the grip of another snow storm. From the forecast yesterday we had hoped for better weather, but it seems there was mis-calculation on the part of the weather man.
 While this snow will be worth thousands of dollars to Jackson county most of her citizens had rather have it on the intsallment plan.
 Along with this storm comes warning from the weather bureau of another blizzard due to arrive to- night sometime, with tempature down to or 8 degrees. Stockmen are warned to look out for their stock, as this spell is apt to occasion much suffering and loss if not guarded against.
 We always have some winter, and some very cold weather, but it is un- usual to have such long uninterupt- ed spell. Snow commenced falling before daylight and has continued all day. The prediction is for fair and colder tonight and unsettled and cold CT Sunday.

THE NEWPORT CITIZEN

The Newport Citizen, yellow newspaper that issues vomit and venom from it's poisonous presses nearly every week on Walnut street, seems to be worrying about the In- dependent. One of its few news items that was not clipped from previous editions of the Daily Independent this week came forth in the form of an editorial attacking the manager of this paper-who is too much American to attach any importance to the Citizen, which sounds like the noise of the last straw as it breaks under the pressure of failure.
 And besides, when we think of the Citizen we have visions of bombs and matches and porcupines and the like, and that is unpleasant. We had ra- ther look at the beautiful snow and continue our work to help keep America free for democracy and safe from characters now under suspicion.
