From Rev. F.. B. Kelley.


 In the last issue of the New Era, an alleged newspaper, variously edited and occasionally published, in your city. ito the shame of all), find local paragraph referring to myself. As l have ceased to be an integral part of the journalistic fraternity, and have wholly abandoned a political career, 1 am at loss to know why l should still be a target for the calumny of that de- graded specimen of the genus homo whose name blurs the upper left-hapd corner of the aforeu uentioned sheet. In the paragragh rCierred to l am spoken of as a 'stupendous failure as democratic editor and politician" l could ask no better proof of my being success ill both capacities than to be condemed by the animal that does the chief praying for the anarchist kite tail known as the New Era. l only men, tion this matter that the good people of your city and county may know in what esteem 1 hold the aforesaid animal. As to my new calling, l shall labor assidu- ously, with the help of God, to be an instrument for the conversion of souls. But without an attempt, l recognize how futile all efforts to convert said animal would be. He is lost beyond the reach of all human abilities, and nothing but God could save him. And if he does not make an early reforma. ton he will be too late for mercy.
 As to his reference to my being too pretty, etc, cannot thank him, for l have grown tired even of thanking the ladies for similar compliments.
 Hoping that l shall in future escape the notice of such creatures as the al- legged editor of the alleged New Era, and that civilization may soon be re- lieved of such animals as he is, l am with much respect,

l'These figures are perhaps over estimated, as 1t is very doubtful about the New Era receiving any thing like Si per week on subscription.]
 It will be seen by the above that McRayen has no business. That hiS paper is being issued at a loss of over $lOO per month. It is a dead loss to its owners except to that extent which It has aided them in this campaign, which has been very little indeed. Now, does any intelligent, thinking man, believe for one minute that this paper will be published after Feath- erston is defeated. To settle the qnes- ton, will McRaven say and prove beyond any possibility of q doubt, that the New Era will be regularly issued after the November election? We nave worked on campaign papers Ill the capacity of typesetter, and we nave been Ill the printing business a good many years, and have a reputation Tor being tolerably well posted on matters pertaining to the business, We know they are unreliable, and would advise Mckayen to get his money regularly, KS some of those fellows are not very good pay. We know this to be fact also. Sad experience, you know.
 In conclusion. let us say, TIE TINES ''as never complained and is not com p'aining of any boycott, Onthe contrary we are giving our patrons such excel rent satisfaction in all kinds of printing, ana have such stock of superb stationery, that our business has nearly uOuoled within the past month.

THAT "BoYCorI "

TIE TINES has no desire to injure .he individual interest of any honest
 man. nor yet an imbecile. Some weeks ago we mentioned the fact that it was not good business policy, to pay for campaign papers in advance. 4 word to the wise was sufficient, and we pro- posed to let the matter drop there. McRayen, however, raised the cry of aBoycott,n thereby hoping to arouse feeling of sympathy for his paper. lis rantings passed us unnoticed, and the tenacity with which he pursues the slbisct reminds us of a cur barking at tle man in the moon. McRaven is eetting old and childish, and we heart ily pity his imbecility. Since it is his desire to continue bowling, We will turn on 2 few more rays of light. The history of the new Era and its pre- deeessor, is too well known to every reading man in this county to need any repetitian from us. Started by little politicians, kept up by the same men, and all for the sake of any influence it might gain and use in their interest--for office, 1t has used every dishonorable means b carry it's point. In it's infancy in fact before its birth, the bosses con. ceiyed the idea that to arouse the prejudices of the Country people against the citizens of Forrest City, would be master stroke of politics. They not only used the columns of their paper. but they seat men who had no regard for truth, into the back townships, and there vilified the mer- chants professional and other business men of the county seat Of this great and promising county. Nothing was too severe or too7 basely false, for these assassinS of character. Our business msH were arrayed and painted as the granGest rascals on earth. The New Era has endeavored, by insinuation, Git had net the courage to say it openly lHfidHI tlils ldcd III tue heduS oI lhe country people. It was clearly dem- oastrated at the polls on September 3d. that ia this it has failed. The above facts came to light and the business men justly refused to patronize a newspaper, which was so earnestly a1Y0cating measures so detrimental to the interest of this people. With these facts before you, we desire to give you figures, and convince you that we are right in saying Beware of paying in advance for campaign newspaper y We make the following estimate of the receipt ands expenditures of the New Era:
The Forrest City times., 1888-09-22

write this article to prove the corr ect-
 ness of our assertions, and show the lew who may doubt our good faith with the people, that McRaven willfullv and maliciously misrepresents us and the intelligent citizens of this county in every issue of his owners paper. Again, Beware of paying in advance Tor the New Era, which is undoubtedly a campaign swindle.

arkansa. Convict Controversies.

The expose of the Coal Hill convict camp horror at Little Rock, with it's attendant letters Of criticism from prominent citizens, and the reply of the Board of Penitentiary Commissioners to the criticism Of II. C. Alis, have caused great commOtion from one end of Arkansas 10 the other. The letter of the Commissioners is not con sidered a reply to the Allis eommunica- tion, but rather begging of the ques- ton. Their letter put on Alis the necessity Of proving his allegations or standing as having slandered the board. IL Is safe 10 say that there will quickly be very interesting stirring up oi Penitentiary matters.
 The letter from the board also stated that outrages had been committed on conyicts while under the Oulta Coal Company. The coal company at this allegation got on it's me,tle and the re- suit Is that Friday morning two mem bers Of the board, Dan W. Jones, At torney-General and F.. B. Moore, Sec retary Of State, will come cut in an other communication in which they say
 '.we did not and do not desire to be understood as rehecting in any manner upon that company. Ne had never seen its cor tract with the lessees of the Penitentiary, and did not know anything about the terms and condi- tions Of it.''
 Further on in the document they add ::
 The coal company has nothing whatever to do with the convicts. This last contract places the conyicts en- tirely under the control of the lessees."
 The people are raising up almost in body and taking an active part in the issue.
