PASTOR REJOICES
 AT END OF BATTLE
Rev. G. NJ. Missirian Breaches Ser mon Appropriate to Signing of
 Peace Treaty.

At the Stanley Memorial church yesterday morning, the Holy Com munion was observed and the follow ing persons were admitted to church fellowship: Clarence Warden Mac Niven, Lillian Hall MacNiven, Vera Dorothy Scotton, August Carl Suess, Raymond Woods Timbrell, Thomas LeRoy Timbrell, Lillian May Weir.
 In addition to these, two children were baptized, namely, Donald War den MacNivcn and Marion Louise MacNivcn. After extending the right hand of fellowship to the newly ad- mitted members, the pastor, Rev. G. M. Missirian, delivered the commun- ion address on "The Challenge of the Cross" In part he said;
 Tt is the first Sunday, today, after the peace treaty has been signed and tho great war seemingly ended. Our hearts are full of joy, and with great hope we look forward to sec the things in their normal channels. We are, however, challenged today, as never before in tho history of the world, by the social and highly organ izcd forces of the evil, as a society of Christian men and women.
 'It is good to have the peace treaty signed hy the delegates of great and small nations on a parchment, but it is far more significant and important 10 sec that the terms of the treaty and the eternal ideals included there in should become realities in the manifold lives of the nations.
 "Thc church of the living God had never before in tho history of the world, a greater and more vital task, than 10 incarnatc the great ideals of tho treaty and league of nations, which were actually signed with the sacred blood of the eleven million choice young mon of the race. This casy-going, half-hcartcd and unreal Christianity of the last generation is unable to accomplish this mighty task. Only devoted, united, fight ing and cross bearing church, will help 10 bring the Kingdom of God into this sorcly wounded world.
 "Wc all as Christians, regardless of our petty crccds and denominational distinctions are challenged today, 10 he real and perfectly loyal to the ctcr- nal principles of God. The world has 10 more use for half Christians and 'h0lt-paGans Christ whom WIG pro- fcsS to be our Saviour, must he also Challenge of the Cross and fight the good fight, until justice, righteousness and Christ spirit dominate our indus trial, social. political and religious Nfc?"

LETTER FRONI

Duke Kelly Was With the First American Army To Reach France
 And Saw Much Service.

Duke Kelly writes the following letter to his mother from France, where he has been in service for 20 months with the American Engineers, the 215th Army, the first Americans to go over:
 France, Dec. 4, 1918. Dear Mamma:
 l saw in the paper this morning that Billy's division is going home. They are lucky; we had been over here more than a year when they came and there is no telling when we will get back The censorship is off so I can tell you little of what we have done. We left New York the 18th of July, 1917; and landed i'm Liverpool the 18th of August; went to Salisbury Plain. The fifteenth we marched through London, being the first foreign troops to march through there since 1080 The 17th we sailed for France, landed in Cologne the 18th, went up on the Cambrai front to a little town called Roisel. We were here with the British Third Army un- til March 21st, when the Germans made us hike 37 miles one day. We were under shell fire the 22nd of Au- gust, 1917, and were never out of range until months ago. The 18th and the 11th of New York, got caught in Jerry's counter-offensive last No vember at Cambrai. While with the British we got 24-hour passes once a month to Amiens and this was the only time we ever saw civilians. The first two months 1 never saw any, thing but khaki and for about I36 miles behind us there was not a-house standing. I went to the hospital the 9th of February at Casualty Clearing Staion No. 555 and from there to Rouen and London, where stayed four weeks and then down in Surrey to 8 convalescent camp for three weeks then to an American rest camp at Winchester for ten weeks. Came back to France with the 89th division and stayed with them one month and then back to my own regiment. Got back in time to be in the first all American offensive at the Verdun side of the St. Mihiel salient. We'll, I hope to be on my way home by the time you get this, but you never can tell. With Love,
 Duke.

 COMING ID CITY
National Speaker of the Anti-Saloon League of America Will Be Here
 February 9.

Charles L. Sellers of Westerville, Ohio, field secretary of the Anti-Sa- loon League of America, spent today in Newport and completed plans for the coming to our city of Hon. John c. Woolley, who is national speaker of. the great anti-saloon organiza- tion. MT. Woolley will deliver an ad- dress at the high school auditorium Sunday, February 9, at 2:3O o'clock, and will tell of the great movement now in progress to bring about na- tion-wide prohibition.
 Every minister of the city will CO., operate to make the visit of MT. Woolley to Newport a success.
 Hon. John c. Woolley is one of the colossal figures of the Temperance Reform For more than a score of years, he has gone up and down the
 land like consuming flame, calling upon the Church to throw off it's in- difference and make war to the death on the legalized saloon.
 For more than quarter of cen- tury his eloquent voice and pen have been continuously employed in open ing the eyes of the Nation to the curse of the drink traffic and the final achievement of National Prohibition by constitutional amendment WILL BE A TRIUMPH FOR NO SIN GLE INDIVIDUAL MORE THAN JOHN c. WOOLLEY.
 Probably no man has been larger factor in arousing the civic conscience of the Nation, and in preparing pub lie sentiment for the remarkable prog ress toward National Prohibition dur ing the past few years.
 At the great Convention at Colum- bus, Ohio, in November, 1913, which launched the Campaign for National Constitution Prohibition, John G. Woolley made the keynote speech on the theme, "The Call of an Epoch," and stirred that great throng with the widest enthusiasm.
 Again at Washington, D. G., on De cember 10th of the same year, when the committee of 2,000 assembled to petition Congress for the speedy sub mission to the states of the Sheppard Hobson amendment, he was one of the most striking figures and at the great mass meeting in Continental Hall, moved the audience to frenzy of applause by his flights of oratory.
 At the National Anti Saloon League Convention at Atlantic City, in 1915, Woolley again of all the great speak CTS of National renown, leading in the Prohibition movement, was chosen to deliver the keynote address. It was a marvel of oratory. For more than an hour, he held the vast audi ence under the spell of his impas- stoned eloquence.

See Who's Who in America ;


 Montaville Flowers is one of, the most widely known publicists in the United States.

 More than year ago Montaville Flowers conceived the idea and car ried through the completion of the National Conference of American Lecturers, which was held at the Ma tional Capital with the endorsement of high governmental officials. This brought together what was in some respect the most notable gathering of recent years as there were present statesmen, publicists, educators, and diplomats from all of the Allied Gov ernments.

Newport daily independent., 1919-01-06

The trouble which led to the killing is said to have grown out of domestic troubles, Gilmer charging that Par rott had caused his wife to leave him. Gilmer fired a Derringer pistol, there being but one shot fired. A pistol was taken from the body of the dead negro. Gilmer says Parrott made a move to pull his gun.
 The dead man was employed by, Graham Bros. of Tuckerman and Gill mer worked for Dan Dowell on a farm near Tuckerman. It is said the men had engaged in a fight previous to the shooting.
