BUSINESS MEN
 OBSERVE ORDER.
Public Schools Closed Monday After noon Until the First of Next
 Week to Help Out.

With the exception of grocery stores, drug stores, the laundry, the bakery and telephone and telegraph offices, all the business houses in Newport were closed yesterday until one o'clock p. m., when doors were open four hours, closing at o'clock, in observance of the fuel administra- tion's order. Today the grocery stores will begin to observe the order and remain open only during the four hours.
 All the city schools closed Monday afternoon to remain closed until next Monday.
 As result of the closing down there has been noticeable improves ment in the fuel situation. Most of the stores have enough coal to last through the present period of wealth CT, and this step toward conserva- tion has enabled distributors of coal to supply others who are without coal. Fuel Administrator HuguIey believes the order will be lifted with in few days.
 There have been no violations of the closing-down order, every busi- ness man having entered into the ex- ercise of the edict with the proper spirit, and there is no grumbling.
 Press dispatches last night said severe weather had tied up to great extent transportation from the Att lantic coast to the Mississippi river, and probably the movement of coal will be slow in any section. No one should let sunshine lead him to a waste of coal, but save every ounce of the precious stuff where possible. Fuel Administrator Hu- guley this morning has some splen- did points in his article concerning the coal situation and means of sav- ing fuel. Read it.
 Most of the business men while observing the morning of rest" en- gagged themselves on top of their roofs shoveling snow. It is believed the present siege of winter is wan ing, and it is hoped no more snow will come to take the place of this, which probably will be gone before many days, but for eccentricity the wealth CT man has an overseas news dis patcher beaten to crisp, and you cannot tell when he will cloud up again.
 E. J Best advises us that he has three cars of coal in transit and at last reports it was as far as Au- vergne, where the engine "went dead" A relief engine sent out from Brinkley froze up at Wyyi11e Another was sent out Tuesday and it was hoped that the local would get in some time Tuesday or Tuesday night Mir. Best has few tons of slack and some anthracite on hand.
 Sidney Rutland has car of slack on the same train and a car of lump coal in transit.
 The railroad water tanks are froz- en up, which causes delay of freight trains.

AGED CITIZEN
 PASSES AWAY
Death Monday Night Claims Frank lin Scott Gullette, Who Succumb-
 ed to Attack of Heart Trouble.

A veil of sorrow spread over the little city of Newport Tuesday morn ing when it was announced that F. s. Gullette had passed away suddenly at 10:20 the night before. The sud den end came as a result of heart trouble. MT. Gullette during last week was kept in bed because of his ailment, but Sunday he began to im- prove, and Monday was feeling much better hoping to resume his work at his office Tuesday,
 Franklin Scott Gullette was 72 years of age. He was born in Lonoke county, moving to Oil Trough num- Der of years ago, later to Jackson. port, from which place he came to Newport. He was engaged in the groces~vy business practically all his life, retiring a few years ago. Sev- eral months, ago MT. Gullette was elected to the office of justice of the a peace in this township, in which ca pacity he served until his death, in "a most capable and satisfactory manner.
 Mir. Gullette served with distinc- tion during the civil war. He was cavalryman and endured many of the hardships of the early days. While fighting with the Confederate army on one occasion he was seriously wounded. During the time of his service in the war MT. Gullette never slept beneath tent, always being out with scouting parties, enduring all the rigors of war.
 A more prolific pen than this is needed to picture the splendid life of the deceased. He was as gentle and tender as child, of retiring disposition, always keeping himself in the background and working quietly for the uplift of mankind. He dispensed hundreds of deeds of kind ness and charity that never became known to the world. He was de- vout Christian, being a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South He was also Mason of high standing To know MT. Gull lette was to love his kindly char acter. Even during his declining days he retained that freshness of intellect and ability to impart inter esting knowledge and to converse wisely on topics new and old.
 MT. Gullette will be greatly missed in the community.
 Surviving him are one daughter Miss Elizabeth Gullette, grand daughter, Mrs. W. A. Rossington, and granddaughter, little Eliz- abeth Gullette Rossington, all of whom have sustained an irreparable loss. His devotion to his little great granddaughter was beautiful, and his home life, which was shared by his only daughter, was the sweeetst pleasure of his last days.
 The sympathy of the entire com munity goes out to the bereaved rel atives, and especially does the Inde- pendent feel the grief of his loss, for the only daughter, Miss Elizabeth, is loved by every member of the office staff, with whom she works faithful ly day after dag and to her all of us extend the tenderest of sympathy.
 The funeral will be held at the family residence on Laurel street Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the services to be in charge of Rev. w. B. Hays, pastor of the Methodist church. Burial will follow at the family lot in Walnut Grove cemetery.
