 We thlnk perhaps there is nothing the matter with Rector. On the con, traly be is in the best of health, quite young and-can wait. There are a large number of people in the state favoring Col.

Tlic Local Fairs.

Several county and district fairs have recently been held i'll different parts of the state. They have all been successful. Some. it is true, did not take in money enough to pay dividends to the stockholders, but that is not the appropriate n5jeet of fairs The proper end and aim should be and is to stimu- late business of all kinds by exhibiting the resources and productions of the section represented, and progressive citizens should be willing to expend money to accomplish these ends, and
 trust to the final result for their re- muneration. Texas Farm and Ranch.

 The man who will subscribe for a paper f0 which the publisher is kind enough to credit him, unl then refuse to pay for it. saying he did not get il out ot the office, is a hard character and will roll over i'll hot grease" when he reaches the next world |i4et:e.
 The plain old fashioned wording of the above is that he will go to hell, sure, for all eternity when he dies Does the Bible teach such q disposi- ton of such d man? We think it does. And reason and common sense teaches us that if the soul of the man who refuses topay newspaper debt. or any other debt, is not dis patched immediately after 1t is liber- ated from it's body to the hottest re- gion of hell, it is because there is no hell, or the creditor has wiped the debt cut. We hold. and we believe the Bible teaches, that the man who steals that which belongs to another when no one sees him. is more an ob ject of mercy than the man who con tracts debt and then refuses or neg lects to pay it. The finger of scorn is pointed at the first, while your non- debt payer is frequently pet of socie- ty, yea, he is sometimes high up in the amen corner Of some church, wearing the livery of heaven, but doin. service for the devil.-Newport News
 The above puts the case in strong language. We too are of the opinon the man who steals through promise to pay is more to be despised and less likely to be forgiven than he who ap- propriates your goods without your knowledge.

Forrest City is said to be on such a boom that one first class democratic paper fails tO satisfy the ambition of its citizens, and another may be start ed ia the near future. TIE TINES mentions plumber of new enterprises needed, the chief of which appears to be another Sl00,000 bank, and water works. If our little neighbor will have patience. sue may possibly grow to be d city of the second class, as Searcy is and be able 10 support three weekly papers and daily.-Searcy Beacon
 Well we don't exactly like that word "boom." It suggests speculation, ruin, ultimate downfall. etc. No, Forrest City is not on "boom," but there is certainly very lively awakening, and much substantial improvement. We hope, at the present rate, to reach the point of "a city of the second class" very soon. A franchise has been granted by the city council for water works and electric light privileges; our fair last s.eek was pronounced by liorse men to have been the best they have attended this season; and there are many other things which go to substantiatc the assertion that For rest City is one If the livest towns in the stHte. In regard to the new bank, we think that fifty or Sl00.000 more capital could be used here proltably. We are led to this opinion from the fact that the Bauk of Eastern Ark kansas witA capital of sl90,G00 has been unable, for several months, to supply the demand for money, al- though we understand it is now doing so. At any rate stock in thIs bank is worth Sl 9. As to c new paper be- ing started we think our friend is feeling q pulse." However, if he or any one else, coltoaplate emEarkiDg in the newspaper business Eere, VIC ex- tend our best wishes for their success, and bid them welcome to give it q full. free and fair t4sal. What i5 that yea say about Searcy supporting ''threa weeklies and one daily?' Judging from the looks of some Of those papers, we srs not inclined to envy the sup port" that any paper in Searcy gets.
 We trGiy believe the combined ''sitp- port" mentioned as coming from the liberal (?) citizens of Searey to their "TifREE wEEKLIKs and ONE DAILY" wou!d G9t buy the white paper us5d in IKE FORREST CITY iI1HS' office. Ne do nat say this iii q braggadocio spirit but simply tu remind C.r good nre1hef tiia. we think be f.as :, w0B- dcrfGl amount ct nerve to boast Of Sea!cy aEd holsi it up to Forrest Ciiy. as .eiag newspa 2ersappogti town worthy of iniit9tion.

Mr.. Chas. w. Corbin and wife, are
now numbered among the inhabitants
of our town, and cordially welcomed.
Rev. G.. W. Burke began pro-
tracted meeting in his church, Sun
day night. A large crowd was in
attendance.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Riley, a farmer and
worthy citizen, living near our town,
died last Wednesday. of Brights di-
sease, aged about 40 years.
The Onancock Baptist Sunday
school will have in the way of q Xmas
treat for the children an Oriental
pie party, in lieu of Xmas tree.
Shipments of sweets from our wharf
to Baltimore have been quite lively
during the week. w. B. Pitts top
ped the market at 81 cents clear for
90 barrels.
Mr.. Thos. w. Taylor, it is stated,
contemplates the removal of his
mill plant from our town to King &
Queen county, Va. The loss Of so
valuable a citizen will be deeply re-
grctted by all our people.
The protracted religious exercises
at the Baptist Church have closed.
During the meeting, twenty persons
were converted, twelve of whom pre-
sented themselves us candidates for
baptism last Sunday morning. In
addition to these some ten or twelve
more persons from other churches
are applicants for admission into that
church.
Our enterprising townsman, Mr..
John w. Duncan, won over all COM
petitors, in bids for furnishing clocks
to Life Saving Stations. He supplied
them at SASS each and at a fair profit
the next bid to him being IS. He
buys at first hands and claims, Justly
we think. to sell all line of goods as
cheapIy as they can be bought any
where.
Oar townsman, Capt. Thos. John
son, eighty-two years old, on last
Sunday, ''tonged up'' seven barrels
of oysters, separated them into primes
and culls, and had them ready for
shipment to Baltimore, by 2 o'clock
on Saturday previous The Captain
having ample means to furnish him
with all the comforts, the work was
done by him simply for recreation
and amusement, AMI no one any
longer disputes with him the claim,
that he is one of the young men of
the town. There is not, we believe,
another instance of such remarkable
vitality in one of his age in the Com
monwealth.
