almost feeling secure from Interrupt

the bushes beside the trail suddenly
parted and Mexican with revolver
in each hand stepped forth.
Hands up, scnors"
Morgan was riding in advance of the
others, and the sudden greeting startled
him, even though he had been half OK
pccting some such command. lie made
no motion to obey it, however, but
bowed and smiled, with perfect assur-
ancc and not n sign of fear.
''Thc scnor has nothing to apprc-
hcnd," replied Morgan. Eve are only
travellers; we are not highwaymcn, and
he can put up his pistols"
Glands up" stcrnly repeated the
man. as another fellow emerged from
the scrub with Il pair of pistols in his
hands, and took place beside the first
one

claimed Morgan. "The senior is hard
to convince. See, you have frightened
all my men away"
Tho MeNicans, at the first call, had
almost broken their neclSs, so great
was their haste, to gain tho seclusion
of the bushes, and left the three Amer
leans alone.

he gave his name, as though ho ex-

I'm glad to have this honor, My

Shake, pardncr Are you lost here?"
The Mexican was so astonishcd ut
the GOODNESS of the American that he
did not know what to do. He was
used to sec the mention of his name
inspire terror. He lowered his pistols
and shook NIorgan's hand heartily, to
the surprise of the onloolers.

giving the Mexican chance to speak.
"Ah! yes, have it; you are chief of

gained his breath.

That's business" said Morgan.

The Mexican put up his pistols. and
they shook hands again.
"I'll pay you for the first year now"
said Morgan, and taking some money
from his pocket counted out two hun
drcd and fifty dollars and handed it to
him. when the year is up, you send
or go to the American consul at Vera

the next year; but, now Der, for

into the bushes with his companion.
Morgan's friends joined him and they
resumed their journey In silence, and
one by one their MexicGns caught up to
them.

TIE TIMES is engaged in the great work of building up Forrest City and St. Francis county, and with this work in view has determined to print, in the near future, very large special eliliOn-say about five thousand or len thousand copies-containing a thorough description of the county and Forrest City and their advantages etc., brief sketch of the principal business concerns, and in fact com ple,e encyclopedia of information, sur passing in ''quantity and quality" any thing of the kind hitherto attempted. We sincerely hope to make success of this venture, and solicit the co-opera- ton of the citizens, and we believe and know we shall have it. Other cities and towns are constantly adver- Using themselves, and it is noticeable that wherever such is the ease you find a live, progressive, growing and enterprising community. There is no question about the good effect to be derived from tirst-class and extens- lively circulated write-up. Thinking of the matter, the great wonder is why has it not been done before and often? Upon the success of this en- terprise depends future large editions of TIE TIMES, which at all times hopes to serve the people well.

Donaldson had failed for two years to fuItiIl his con tract for payments on tract of land bought of II. A.

 To-day when Aldridge was endeav- bring to eXecnte the order, Donaldson said: There has been enough hell in this matter, and there was some in hIm.' and started for Aldrdge with an ax. He was covered immediately with revolvers by the officers. He then started after his gun, when he was shot, to deter him, and he fell. He rose and made for Brown with the ax. Browns pistol failed to fire, but Aldridge came to his rescue and Don aldsou fled, holding to his ax, with the officers in pursuit. He escaped, but is seriously wounded Constable Brown says it was close call, and he anticipates more trouble before gain ing possession of the premises.

AN item in the naval appropriation bill appropriates $25,00O and the use of a government vessel for the pur- pose of making deep sea soundings between San Francisco and Sandwich Islands, in order to determine the feasibility of cable between those points. A Pacific cable is doubtless very much desired, but why should this government be called upon to pay any part of it's cost ? Why should the company, which proposes to lay the cable, be given financial assistance that was not extended to any of the Atlantic cable compames ? This idea Of private corporations constantly calling upon the government for help is ' most vicious one. Such things were never heard of until the repub- lican party controlled the government.

AN investigation of our entire pen sion system and the elimination of names not properly upon the rolls, can not be staved off much longer. When such republican papers as the New York Tribune join with the democratic and independent press in asking for such an investigation, it is high time for the small fry republi- can sheets to withdraw their opposi- tion. Honest pensioners have noth- ing to fear from this investigation which we trust will be undertaken by the next house, but the dishonest ones, who are entirely too numerous, may well feel shaky and fear the just in- dignation of the people who have been and are being robbed of millions for their benefit.
