TRIBUTES OF RESPECT.
pr. P. Van Patten.


 The following tribute of love and respect to the memory of Dr. P Van Patten was passed at a meeting of General Forrest Lodge No s. Knights of Pythias:
 Dr. P. Van Patten was a member of Gen Forrest Lodge, and at the time of his death was Past Chancellor It is meet that we should wear in our heart of hearts fond memories of departed friends, IL is well to remember the virtues of the just and upright and follow their precepts. The good that men do ought to live after them; hallowod influences ought to survive the lives from which they emanate. Such thoughts as these take possession of us as we mourn the loss of our deceased brother. He was wise in coun- sell just in judgment. firm in the discharge of duty, true in friendship. and faithful and con- stant to every sacred trust. As a physician he had attained eminence in his profession. and as citizen he walked only along the pathways of honor and rectitude. Blessed with long life full of usefulness. he passed peacefully away, surrounded by family and friends. leaving the precious legacy of life unstained by guilt. Therefore be it
 Resolved, That in his death the profession has lost a learned and successful physician, the community a distinguished citizen and accomplished scholar, our lodge diltEent and faithful officer, and our order true and worthy Knight.
 Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of our lodge that a copy be transmitted by tho K, of R. and s. to the family of our deceased brother. and that a copy also be furnished THH FORREST CIrY TIMES and Pythian Advocate for publication. Also, that our lodge be draped in mourning for 30 days. J. W. WILLIAMS.

Our SentIrn ents.

There is evil enough in the world. but there is infinitely more good The morn ing paper tells Of few cashiers who have defacated, but 1t does not mention the thousands of cashiers who are true to their trusts. It gives, in herrid detail the account of a train wrecked by the un- faithfulness of an engineer, but it does not mention the thousands of engineers who have kept hand on the throttle and eye on the track. Vice is the exception, and Is therefore made much of virtue is the rule, and Is therefore not worth men, tioning. Looking for evil is terrible habit. IL soon fills ones whole horizon with wickedness and utterly shuts out the good. Looking for good is a beauti- ful habit. 1t soon leaves the most of evil out of sight and fills the eyes with light. It pays to do as Christ did-put Satan behind us, so that our point of view may be bright and hopeful. There are bad pupils, doubtless, but they are the exceptions In remembering them. do not forget the large majority of the better ones. Adapt your discipline, your work. your whole management to the sweet majority of your pupils-not to the hldeous minority. The ineorrigibles must have attention. but make them the sxcep- tions. Do not form a set of rules for your whole school from these few ugly cases. Presume that right is stronger than wrong, while the wrong Is being rooted up.

Dr.. John B. Cummings.

The following tribute of love and respect to the memory of Dr. John n. Cummings was passed at meeting of General Forrest Lodge Knights of Pythias:
 Dr. John B. Cummings, who died in Forrest City, Ark. February l2. 1891. in the 4ed year of his age, was a charter member of Gen. For rest Lodge No. B, Knights of Pythias. He was elected its first Chancellor Commander and the early success of the lodge was due in a great measure to his zeal and devotion to irs work. He was a man possessed of many sterling qualities. He was kind and courteous to all, faithful and firm in the discharge of duty, and faced bravey every danger and difficulty that rose up before him in the path way of life Nature had endowed him with her richest blessings: he possessed . superior intellect, . superb physique and brave heart. and in every way seemed fitted for his chosen work in slife. He has been taken sway-cut down in the prime of life, in the fullness of his strength, and just as he had almost reached the summit of professional distinction. But his life. though short, was not lived in vain. It was full of usefulness, and the memory of the good he accomplished will survive him and live in the grateful hearts of the multitude whose afiiictions his uduu tcilcNcu. nave never uont any one any harm" were his own words not long before his death. With the record of such life what wonder is it that he faced death so calmly as he did and as only one can do who is sustained by an 'unfaitering trust"2 Why should not his last sleep be placid since ho has passed away with malice towards mono and at peace with the whole world? With such testimony as this who can doubt that he passed trumphantly through the dark Valley of Death to that land where the bonds of fra ternal love will never again be severed where the myrtle never withers and the whitc lily blooms forever? Therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That in bis death the profession has lost an intelligent, learned and skillful physician; the suffering and afflicted a bene- factor; the community an honest. upright and distinguished citizen; his companions and associates a kind and steadfast friend. and our lodge one of it's most active accom- plshed and faithful members.
 Resolved. That these resolutions be spread upon the records of this lodge and published in TIE FORREST CITY TIMES and the Pythisn Record. and a copy be sent to the family of our deceased brother; and be It also

PUSH THE FAIR.

The directors of the Eastern Arkan- sas Fair Association held d meeting Monday afternoon at the bank build ing. Considerable business was trans acted which will no doubt prove bene- ficial to the organization. The book
 accounts of the Association were placed
 in the hands of the secretary, with In- structions to collect same. A commu-
 nication asking the Association to send a delegate to a state meeting for the purpose of forming fair circuit
 was read and approved, and James Russell requested to represent the organization at said meeting, either in person or by competent proxy; a com munication setting forth bargain in fine horseflesh was read, and referred to any person who might wish to in- vest in few bloOded animals (infor- nation may be had of Capt Russell on this point); rate of $S, SIP and S25, according to certain conditions, was fixed for the board and care and train lug of horses by the Association; on motion, $l 800 was appropriated for the purpose of buying additional fine stock for the Association, and Messrs. C. II. Sanders and James Russell were U amount in said manner. The pros poets are very encouraging looking to the improvement of stock in this county, and the Association will spare no money or pains to accomplish the greatest benefit possible. The date for the second annual competition in speed has not yet been fixed, but will be as soon aS.the matter of the circuit, t. ,, laI ( suggested that there be a days sport, in the way of trotting, pacing and run ming races, July 4. The matter is un- der consideration, and decision will be announced later. The outlook for a tirst-class agricultural and stock pre- mlum exhibit is not very tlattering. This is, perhaps, owing to two reasons: first, a lack of manifestation of interest on the part of the masses, and the very decided and exclusive interest in horse flesh on the part of the classes. We should very much like to see St. Fran clS county advance to d point where her people would take that interest in her welfare and advancement that would prompt them to jump" at every opportunity of this nature. Properly conducted, an agricultural, meChani- Cal and stock fair is one of the most at tractive, most enjoyable and interest ing means of advertising our resources possible to conceive. Like all adver- Using the profit is incalculable, and there might not be an apparent in- crease of capital from this source, but nevertheless it would be worth thou sands of dollars to our county. The social feature alone, under certain con ditions now existing, is worth the trial. We sincerely hope the manage. ment will push the fair feature of their organization.
