TOM ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL.

Our splendid school opened Mon day with an attendance of over 260 pupils for the first day, now increas- ed to about 300. Prescott and South Arkansas are justly proud of the Tom Allen High School. It ranks among the first educational institutions of the State--nOnc other surpasses it.. The school building is large and well arranged every way; one of hand somest to be found anywhere, origi- nal cost of which was over S8,000, Have full corps of competent teach. CTS as follows; Principal, Prof. Thomas Crawford assistants, Mrs. Ella McRae, Miss Ella Arnold, Mrs. E. G. Haughton, Miss May Terry, Miss Lizzie Hale and Miss Mary Thomasson.
 As everybody looks to the primer pal of school-he is always eXpec- ted to insure its success, we deem it right to say in Prof. Thos. Crawford, we have the right man in the right place, and commend the board s choice in selecting him to the posi- tion. He comes highly recommend ed from different places where he has taught-had we the space might here give some high testimonials, but deem it unnecessary. Let our peo- pie cooperate with him in every way.

Have an Eye to Your Eyes.

How few think of the valne of good eyes. till they begin to fail: How many have failing eyes and don't know it, or if they know it., are ashamed to make it known? Of those who wear spectacles, how few have them to fit, or suit their eyes !; And how few know that an imperfect fit injures the eye? We have for several years made a speciality of the eye, it's study and treatment, and for twelve months have made q speciality of testing and fitting fine glasses by the aid of the Johnston Dioptric Eye Meters. We guaran- tee fit, and perfect satisfaction, and when this is done, with good pebbles, the eye not only ceases to fail, or as is said Ego from you,' but the sight generally improves. To all who wish to know if their glasses fit their eyes, and to those who have never worn glasses, and want to know whether they need or would be benefited by the use of glasses, we offer free examination. Specta- cIes of all kinds furnished at reason able rates. Respectfully,

 Almost everything on the farm has done remarkably well except cotton. Pea, and swec potatoes bid fair for fine yield, and now the turnip patches are booming. The fact is, the prospect for something to eat is in- deed hattering, and now if cotton would go up to 10 cents, maybe we could squeeze through after all.

A Tribute.

Heaven grows brighter and more real, as earth's shadows deepen. One by one those we know and love go to dwell there, and life is filled with tears and breaking hearts and deso- late homes. Earth keeps for it's por- ton only the grave, holding the precious, lifeless body, and the ten der, sad memories that cling to earth. These forever sadden life and blot out the light of earthly joys; but heaven is dearer because of the promise of a sweet reunion there.
 We arc saddened as memory re- calls the sweet, thoughtful face of Mrs. Zepporah Powers, whose quiet, gentle life left its impress on all our hearts. We miss her, and the home she loved is lonely, for What is Home without mother, -
 The husband misses the gentle and helpful companlonship of a loving wife. The sons have lost their ten der counselor and sympathizing friend. None like a mother can so patiently guard off the evils and dangers that beset a boys life. The two sweet little girls are left in this wide world without a mothers low ing, watchful care. We cannot un- derstand all this but many things which here seem sad and wrong, God will make plain, as glad and best, III Heaven. Therefore, we
 Resolve, As members of the Wo- mans Missionary Society, of which Mrs. Powers was loved and honor ed member, to submit uncomplain- ingly to our Heavenly Fathers will |; striving more earnestly to be made fit for life's work, letting Christian love rule all our words and acts,
 In tender sympathy we point the bereaved friends to the home beyond this "cloud land" where the loved one still lives and loves with all Of earth's affections intensified, and waits and watches for your coming. ''One less earth,
 It- pain, its sorrow, and its tOl 10 share, One more at rest in heaven"
