 It is with much pleasure that the many readers of THE TINES in this part of the county read and know or believe, that we are to have new court house. It has always been our choice to have the court house on the corner known as the McDanicl property. ou account of the county owning the prop erty whereon stands the thing commonly called jail. and for it's beautiful location. but we are equally as well satisfied with the southeast corner. We think either of the locations could he made very attractive. Let us have a nice court house; we are willing to pay our part of the taxes, let them be what they may.
 The bondsmen of l. L. West met in Forrest City last Friday, to make good his shortage one hundred and tventy-four dolars-on his last term. His sureties were John Cox, J. E. Hodges, W. w. Mcdaniel, l.. Q. Mcdaniel and Wm. Jolly, who paid their portion promptly and apparently checrfuy. It is to be regretted that MT West is short In his settlement, having been elected under pc culiaC circumstances over Il negro. There is no excuse for an officer being short. An office is not a matter of speculation, but matter of trust.

X visit to our last assembly would have convinced any one that many iegisla tors voted and offered bills that would have tested the powers of a Philadel phia lawyer to understand. The base upon which many of them stand to cast their vote is simply their right to vote, and in the exercise of that privi- lege the meaning of ''nonpareils and slch like cuts no figure.

Value of Dignifying the Teachers
 Profession.

The value of associations for mutual benefit is recognized in every branch of industry. Ministers, doctors, farmers and in short, all classes of laborers receive a new impetus by coming together to dis euss the varied problems that arise along the lines of their respective professions. Thus it is that man comes in contact with his fellow man, and not only that but he comes in contact with his fellow workman, and by discussing some of the vital ques- tions touching the profession to which he belongs, and by the inter, hange of opin- ions and experiences, he is better prepared for his work, whether that he tilling the soil or teaching the young in the public schools.
 We quite frequently hear it said that the teacher can be recognized as a teacher wherever he may be placed, and some of our teachers are trying 10 generalize them selves into some kind of general purpose machines in order to escape this criticism Just why teacher has not the right to look or act like n teacher is more than we can answer The lawyer, as rule, looks like lawyer; the minister or the doctor should be recognized among a thousand; the farmer in his shirt sleeves. or the mill Ter In his dusty suit is easily identified. But everybody seems to think that this is the natural order of things. Let a teacher expose himself to public gaze and they cry out at once: Hide tanner" stand up and spelH' etc.
 The farmer that can't be recognized from the dude will not likely have many potatoes te sell, the doctor that might be taken for the undertaken Is, in all proba- blity in partnership with him; the teacher that does not carry with him the air of q teacher Is either not very old or very old or very successful in the profession. As teachers, we want to dlgnify the profes. sion. Think and talk about our work and speak well of our fellow teachers. Attend all teachers meetings possible. Let the world know that we belong to all important and indispensable class oi workers, and the time will come when Vt will not be considered narrow because vt look or act like school teacher"

FOR the three months ending March 31, 1890. as compared with the same period last year, there wa. decrease in our exports of about 3s per cent, the heavIest decline being in farm pro- ducts.
