C0AL SPECIAL
 PUTS IN HERE
Iron Mountain Engine Hauls Related Rock Island Into Newport
 Harbor Tuesday.

The local freight train on the Rock Island arrived here Tuesday at 2 p. m., after an eventful trip from Brink ley. When it arrived at Auvcrgne the engine "went dead" and a relief engine sent from Brinkley "froze up" at Wyville. By arrangements made at headquartrs in Little Rock an Iron Mountain engine was sent out from Newport and brought the train in at 2 p. m. Tuesday, with three cars of coal, which greatly relieves the fuel situation. The local left at noon Wednesday for the return trip to Brinkley, and it is hoped with the warmer weather there will be no more delayed trains.

FUEL SITUATION
 |s MUCH BETTER
There Is Not Family In Newport That Is Not Being Amply
 Supplied With Fuel.

Newport is the best town in the whole United States, and don't you let lem tell you different. And the best people in the United States live in Newport. The old town could be wiped off the map by an earth quake and 1t would come back. Take the present fuel situation, for in- stance. When the proposition of con- serving fuel was put up to the people of Newport, the population whipped into line as one man. Every business house closed down, and the order of the fuel administration has been obeyed to the last letter.
 And as a consequence the situation has shown remarkable improvement.
 There is not a single family in . Newport suffering from lack of warmth. Business is little slack perhaps, but in a few weeks no one Twill remember that. Sufficient coal has reached the city to supply the uGIndHuS Ol lllOSS WHO nave OCSH without fuel, and many persons have availed themselves of the opportunity to exercise a little in the woodland. The work of distributing fuel in Newport has been carried out even ly, and no one has been allowed to do the hoarding act
 The weather man is returning to favor. He did well yesterday, and while he says it perhaps will be cloudy today, it still is to remain warm, which will tend favorably.
 Keep the spirit alive and you will keep the best town in the world in it's proper place on the map.

about an hour, had time enough to

about ten minutes.
Our next stop was a couple hours

and again in the evening about half
hour at Dalhart, Tex.
Then we didn't get off any more
until we got to Kansas City-we were
turned loose for couple hours there.
Went to the swimming pool and had
good bath and saw quite bit of
the town.
Were turned loose again at st.
Louis the next day for about an hour.
Then again last night in Pittsburgh
