its terrific blasts against the walls
of the houses.

"A certain class o. people are al
ways DOING their best to ascertain
whl' way the public tide is flowing,
and !, lien they succeed, they get
around in front of the drift, and try
to make everybody believe they are
leading the van. Such people will
always bear watching, but they dis
like watching as much as anybody in
tie world.

appointed retail department, replete
with ali the essential things that GO
! to make up a good stock; a central
location; abundance of help, and q

We understand that the matinee
last Saturday was a failure, and that
they got off one Of those bloody-mur-
der difficulties that frightened the
children very much. There ought
to be law prohibiting such things,
If the "show menp have not discre-
ton and judgment enough not to en-
gage in such abominable "plays''
before children. The boys of this
country have enough of "war" and
adventure In their nature without
these things, and we do not want
our girls to see them. If our theat-
rical people want to give US matt
nee, let them give us a decent one.
We are tired of low quarrels.

lor, Of this city, were married Tues
day morning-Forrest City Times.

and general manager of the L. r. u
F. 5. r. r. at this place. He is an
affable young gentleman, and though
he stole away when he left for the
consummation of the happy event,
without giving his many friends any
information as to his intentions, we
want to tender our hearty congratu-
lations, and wish him happy voy-
age on the sea OF life. We have not
had the pleasure of seeing the fair
bride but we are satisfied that Mr..

one eminently worthy. We welcome
her amopg us, and welcome both
into those bonds where Glove his
golden shafts employ"

If we could in any way succeed
in getting our people to do some
thing in the way OF improving our
city cemetery we would be very hap
py. But it will not do to make any
appropriation, according to the doc
trlne of some, aud there is no other
way to build fence. IL takes mon
ey to carry on Improvements, and to
