 Ernest Long and Earl Davis returned to Forrest City last week, after all ab sence extending over many days. The young gentlemen still carry rosy cheeks and happy countepances, and while they don't say SO. they look like they thought it capital idea, for a young man toexhaust all resources about home in quest of employment. before he seeks it in other places not under the soften ing influences of home and parental guidance.
 F. N. Hill gives rs informxti on that ! leads us to believe tha. the white peo- pie of Goodwin township are slowly | but surely, learning ;hat ft Is folly tc 1 scramble for political preierment, there by elevating the negroes into office and | are uniting for the best interests of the | county. THE TIMES is delighted at the prospect. and would be overjoyed to see the white people of St. Francis county lay aside personal aaimosities and put a white, democratic ticket in the field and elect 1t.
 We acknowledge with considerable appreciation a visit from three very beautiful young ladies Tuesday, in the persons of Misses Susie Davis. of Helena, and Elma Raiford and Eula Dupuy, of our own little city. Of course we were delighted. but were also. afterwards, amused at the re- effect the presence of so mnch beauty has upon printing office Pritchett, for instance, became aa nervous that he pied seven sticks of tpye before he could compose himself.
 THE TIMES has the pleasure to offici- ally announce our esteemed friend, Ms. T. E.. Prewet. as candidate for re- to the office of city marshal, in which capacity he has faithfully served the public for ten months just passed. Mir. Prewett has given excellent satis- faction and is an efficient, brave and careful officer, always with an eye to the peace and quiet and the prosperity of the people, He considers the dis charge of duty above all other consider ations, and in re electing him the town of Forrest City can make no mistake.
 At recent meeting of the Forrest City school board Messrs. John E. Elirdge and Thos. J Fondren were elected directors, to fill vacancies there in existing. H. ?. German, then re- signed. as director and secretary. and Mir Fondren was chosen to fill the position We congratulate the public upon the excellent judgment herein displayed by the board. and think the selection of the new directors could not have been better We are informed. that while no selection ef taachei 8 has as vet been made, 1t is an assured fact that our free school will be reopened iu September with corps of competent teachers, and Forrest City will be her self again.

 Thsre may he one or two sentences tn the following article from the Btiukley Argus. which are not wholly applicable to Forrest City. aud hence we da nut endorse them. but 1t contains such a large numGer oi salient facts. which should be thought of by the citizens of Forrest City, that We give it space, and hope it may aid us to convince you that Forrest Clty Is doing nothing iu ;he way of encouraging new enterprises. Other towns are offering bonuses and donating land, and sut V Of enterprises, and especially of the manufacturing eltsa. Let Forrest City move on. The Argus says Ere mauy more weeks the legal voters of Brinsley will he called upon to elect their city officers. and thls is more important matter than many seem to think. Brinkley to-day is not what she might be. W hile it is true that she is growing in wealth and vet 1t is a kind ot natural growth, forced upon her from natural causes and not hy her leading men putting their energies together, and trying to push things, as other towns. ot less natural advantages, and scarce ly any railroad facilities. are doing. There is no good reason that our town should not take boom, and within the next two years double her popula- uon, and the question Is. how can this boom he brought about2N There are many ways in which 1t can be done. and enc of the most important is for the citizens to elect live, progressive, young, energetic set of city officers men that know their duty, and WILL DO it. The day of old fogyism has passed. We are living in an age of 1 steam and electricity, and we must move on and keep up with the process sion, or be left behind Then let us look about us. and caayass the merits of all would-be asplfants for these posi- l lions and See whether they are anxious to see our town improve, and that rapidly. We do not want any stage coach men to carry on our city affairs. | As We before stated. that day has l passed. We ought to have live, get 1 up, and-get men. Men who want to see Brlnkiey become manufacturing town. Just now several towns. some of which are not near SD advantage ously located. are working to secure the Hendrix College in their town, but We have not heard even a whisper here ln Brinkley towards trying to have it located here. Such an institution would bring thousands of dollars into our town, which HON goes somewhere else. Another thing, We must have white officers, and uo matter what their politics may be, let them be placed upon the platform that means ',bulld
