A Contrast

From the tidings Of the great bat
tie ii is clear that there has been a
mighty struggle at LaFere. The
name of the place will find echo in
the memories of many who, though
they may never have been in France,
will recall their visit to the little town
in the delectable company of Robert
Louis Stevenson. when he sailed on
his Inland Voyage"
BY way of contrast with the LaF'ere
of the last few terrible hours consid-
err these lines from the chapter en-
titled Through the Golden Valley"
The artillery were practising at
LaFere: and soon the cannon of
heaven joined in that loud play. Two
continents Of cloud met and ex
changed salvos overhead; while all
around the horizon We could see SUM-
shine and clear air upon the hills.
What with the guns and the thun-
der the herds were all frightened in
the Golden Valley. We could see them
tossing their heads. and running to
and fro in timorous indecision; and
when they had made up their minds,
and the donkey followed the horse.
and the COW was after the donkey,
we could hear their hoofs laundering
abroad over the meadows. 1t had a
martial sound, like cavalry charges.
And altogether. as far as the ears are
concerned, we had very rousing bat
tie piece performed for our amuse-
mont

TRACEDY NEAR
 ALG0A FRIDAY
  Will H. Davis Shoots and Kills J. H. Barton With olDayis Is In
 Jail Here.

Will H. Davis, Poinsett county citizen, aged about 40 years, is in the Jackson county jail here, having been arrested by Sheriff J. M. Ivy on the charge of shooting and killing j. H. Barton, aged 35 years, who also lives in Poinsett county. The killing took place along a road two miles east of Amagon, in this county, last Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock. Davis is said to have fired three shots at Bar ton, two of which took effect, one bullet from his pistol entering the head through the nose and another striking the right side of Barton's head.
 Davis refuses to make statement, and officers declare they are unable to learn the cause which led to the killing, it being known only that the men had had some business dealings together previously. There were no witnesses to the shooting, it is said- Barton came to Poinsett county from Alabama, and was preparing to move his family back to his former home this week. Davis is married and has family.

District No. One Has Gone Over the Top and Newport Solicitors Are

Here's the way they do things in the Union Hill community, School District No. One, as told in letter received by the Independent today from H. s. Simmons:
 "School District No. One held a meeting in the interest of the United War Work Campaign Sunday after noon at 2 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by H. s. Simmons, chairman, who made short talk. R. D. Foster, secretary, read some lit erature and stated the object of the meeting. The soliciting committee was appointed and in about thirty minutes raised the full quota for the district and some over"
 This splendid piece of patriotic work should be an inspiration to the people of Newport and in every com munity of the county. The United War Work fund is made more im- sportant now than ever, for the Ameri- can troops, while having nothing to do in Europe but think of home, must be cared for and entertained. This care and entertainment can come through but one agency-the United War Workers. The dawn of peace should spur you on. Your patriotism and loyalty should make you give twice as much as you originally intended to give. What are you going to do about it?
