many warm friends. He had had
many reverses in life, which handi-

en- years ago he was again in the
hospital in Boston nearly three
months, suffering from some rust in
one of his eyes, which caused him to

buttons from the citizens of the city.
After due elaboration, it seemed TO
be the unanimous opinion of all pres,
ent that the logical and best-fltted
man. one who had worked all his he
among young men, was Mr.. RANKIN

more for the young men OF Newport
than Mr.. Rankin, who has been Scout
Master ever since the organization
of the Boy Scouts, and since his re-
turn is again taking up the work that
has been at low ebb since he went
to France. On account of such splen-
did work he was unanimously elected
to this honor.
A committee consisting of w. w.
Blodgett, S. w. F. Hamilton and A.
C. Clark were appointed to raise the
necessary funds.
Mr.. Rankin plans to leave New.
port Sunday night, going by way OF

"The Rose Girl" the popular home
talent musical comedy, that was
staged at Lanes opera house Thurs
day and Friday night, directed and
promoted by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Phil
brook, was grand success in every
way, as mentioned last week.
It proved on this occasion as well
as on other occasions that Newport
is well supplied with good talent, and
when the people want something good
in the show line it can be found right
at home. The young people did much
hard work to make it the success that
it was.
The play was under the auspices of
the Ladies' Social Union of the First
Congregational church, and was well
received, the opera house being pack
ed each night.
The Social Union received for their
share of the proceeds, 1927. Mr.. and

GETTING BIG THINGS.

I An important Industrial center, al
important seaport anchan an importan
| summer and winter resort. These are
the three big things that are claimed
by the people of Pascagoula for theil
admirably located city on the gulf OF
Mexico. A model metropolis is the
hope and ambition of every citizen
Active and sane measures have been
planned and adopted to put the port
of Pascagoua on the map in large
type, as a place of unchallenged at
traction for the homeseeker, artisan
and worker.
The institution Of a thorough drain
sge system, the paving and surfacing
of the main thoroughfares and the en-
couragement of housing facilities are
essential improvements for the future
progress and growth of this city.
There should be cooperation be
tween the property holders the invest
ors, the tenants and the general public.
There should be a spirit OF unity be
tween the employer and the employee.
The watchword OF the community
should be "Beautify," Clean streets,
neat houses and pretty lawns create
4 sense of civic we'll being and invite
newcomers. Keep current with the
age and lend every energy TO the up
building OF the port.

In the death of ex-President Theo
dore Roosevelt the country loses one Of
it's most prominent statesmen and q
true American in heart and spirit. His
life and habits, in the relations of man
to man, were progressive, strong and
moral. He early developed wonder
full aptitude for leadership; he acted
independently and manifested at the
same time, in his firm strenuous traits
a generosity and affability that won
for him the admiration of his fellow
citzons and the respect of the people
of the world.
