SPRING MILLINERY OPENING.

At the first showing of spring mill linery at Miss Eva Graham's Wednes- Iday afternoon, the decorations were very effective, being featured in na- tional colors, flags and bunting, which were much in evidence every where. On stands and show cases lovely flowers and ferns were arrang- ed. In a bunting draped booth Mrs. George H. Banks had War Savings Stamps for sale. At improvised gates, through which living models passed, George R. Hays, IT,, and Miss Amanda Wilmans, dressed as Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia, stood guard. A program of patriotic music by a Victrola, from the Newport Jewelry Company, did much to enliven things.
 In millenery many beautiful tailor ed hats, jaunty little turbans for street wear and beautifully trimmed hats for dress showed the milliner's artistic taste. These were modelled by Mrs. Adam Lockard, Mrs. R. D, Brown, Mrs. w. N. Dunaway, Misses Mary Madaline Hooking and Leola Me Callister.
 The misses hats were shown by Elizabeth Brandenburg, who is al ways a popular model.
 Among the little folks were Jose phine Carroll, Franchelle Watson and little Mildred Holloway.
 Besides millinery Mrs. Lockard and Mrs. Brown modelled some very beau tiful afternoon gowns, an added feat ure to Miss Graham's department.

BIG DAY IN TUCKERMAN
 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27TH

Probably the largest crowd that has assembled in Tuckerman for some time will be in our city next Wednes- day, the occasion being the selling at auction of the Dowell & Holt Addition This valuable addition lies close to the Tuckerman school, being only one block distant. As every one knows that Tuckerman is counted one of the most progressive and up to date con- munities in North Arkansas nd rap- idly increasing in population. Being entirely above the overflow and with a bunch of progressive merchants and citizens as there are in the state, will surely make this city of several times it's present size and we take this oc- casion now to notify Newport that they had better watch Tuckermna, as it is on the map to stay. We want to call the attention of our readers to the ad of the United Realty & Devel- opment Company in this issue, adver- Using this valuable property at auc- tion. While the United Realty Com pany have quite good deal of prop erty in North Arkansas, MT. J. s. Ha- selden, the manager of this company, says that this is the first time his company has undertaken to sell such high class property as this at auc- tion in this state, which is certainly a compliment to our neighbor city.

CURFEW LAW NEEDED.

Considerable discussion relative to a curfew law has been engaged in by various citizens of this place during the past few days. Probably no oth- CT town in the state of Arkansas needs such law more than Tucker man does. 1t is very common thing to see small boys wandering about on the streets long after they should be in bed. Such a state of af- fairs will eventually lead to and cause the destruction of all moral principles that might have been in- stilled into their minds earlier in life. It is not only the small boy that needs protection but the destiny of our fu- ture women is at stake. Young wo- men, some of whom belong to the best families in town, are aften seen out in town late at night. Many of them are permitted to ride in cars in company with other young people far into the night. Parents who permit such need not be surprised some day if shame and disgrace is the fate of their offspring. As long as virtue is trailed in the dust and the righteous people recognize the guilty ones in a social way there needs be no surprise that such things continue to exist There are men and women in this town, married and single, who have but little reputation and no character who are recognized in social way by many who profess to stand for the right.
 One who has drunk to the dregs in sin and vice and later awakens to the fact that destruction is really starring him or her in the face and tries to free himself or herself from the fet- ters which binds, is an object of pity and Christianity should lend help jag hand and unlimited sympathy tc fnhch an individual. However, the irson who wilfully and maliciously D egages in sin should not even be tol- uT;ted in a social way and the stamp ddisapproval should be placed or sonntp in public way. Until the bet
 people resolve to do this, sin and -t;a will have unlimited sway in oui .t unity as it now has. Let the awaken to their duty. Pass g
