Death of J.L. Ingram.

Joseph l.. Ingram, an old and highly esteemed citizen of this city, died at the home of his son, Dr. w. c. Ingram at Palestine, on Saturday afternoon, the 20th inst, at o'clock. The in- telligeuce of his demise created uni versal sorrow in this community Very few persons knew of his illness until his death was announced. The Memphis Appeal of Tues day contained the following:
 "Mr. Joseph l.. Ingram, a leading cit izen of Forrest City Ark, died after a short illness of malarial fever on Fri day last at the village of Palestine a few miles from his home, where he had gone on visit few days before.
 Mir. Ingram was reared at Byhalia Miss, where he resided until six or seven years ago, when he removed to For est City, where he was universally esteemed for his kindly nature, good citizenship and sterling integrity.
 ''He was the brother-in-law of Hon. Casey Young, of this city. MT. Ingram had many friends and acquaintances here who will be deeply grieved by the sad intelligence of his death.
 His remains were carried through this City Sunday morning to Byhalia where the burial took place in the old family Durying ground"

Illinois and Indiana. Col. Dunn is in splendid health, appearing stron ger and nor vigorous than when he left here ssv ral years ago.
 The bridge force of the Little Rock and Memphis road have been in the city the past week engaged in the much-needed work of constructing new freight and cotton platform. If the company would replace the old ramshackle concern which essays to pass muster as a freight depot with new building it would add materially to the appear ance of Front street. 1t is the poorest excuse for freight room we know of and has long been an eyesore. In ad- dition to that it is a public nuisance, in that it is standing menance to the health of the community.
 Robert J. Mitchell, who resides near Palestine, this county. has been lost in White river swamp since "Wednesday of last week, the l7th irst., and up to last night no traces of him had been found. On the day above mentioned. in company with John Smith, William Johnson and Paul Davis, the latter a colored man, he went to the swamp on bear hunt. It was agreed among them that in case one of them failed to appear at the camp by given time the other members of the party should search for him until found. Night came and MT. Mitchell did not appear His companions sought for him that night and the next day without avail. The search was continued until Sun, day, when endorsements came and 1t was renewed with increased vigor. Still no trace of the missing man. On Wednesday searching party left Palestine and entered tine swamp, but up to last night they had not been heard from. and it is supposed they have so far met with disappointment. His family and friends are very anx- ious, fearing that he may have met with some accident. The eanebrake is very dense iu the sUamps where he is supposed to have proecuted bis hunt for game, and person might pass within few feet of him and not know it. We sincerely hope he may turn up all right and relieve the anxiety of his friends and family. Since the above was put in type intelligence of the finding of Mir. Mitchell has reached the city. He was lost in the swamp. where he had been wandering about since the 17th. Though considerably used up by the long exposure and pro tracted tramp, he is all right.l

OF HEART DISEASE.
T. T. Farmer Dies Suddenly at the Can
 ming Factory Saturday Afternoon.

T. l. Farmer Dies suddenly at the Cam
 ming Factory Saturday Af,ernoon.
 Considerable excitement was created in the city Saturday afternoon by the report that man had died of heart disease at the canning factory. As a number of resident young men are em- ployed in the factory, the report caused much uneasiness among their relatives and friends before the name of the de- ceased could be learned. A TIMES man repaired to the scene and learned that the report was only too true. The name of the unfortunate man was Thomas J. Farmer, tenant on the Hiram Evans farm, four miles south of town. He and his wife and three daughters were employed in the can- ming factory. Early in the day MT. Farmer complained of being ill, and sent one of his little daughters out to procure dose of camphOr, which he drank with the remark that he believed he was dying. The medicine revived him, however, and he returned to work. At noon hour he ate dinner with tie others and took seat at a window, leaning his head upon the sill. About ten minutes before the whistle sounded to resume work Earl Cary passed near and addressed some remark to hun, to which he responded. When the o'clock signal was given it was no- ticed he did not stir and his wife, thinking him asleep, went over to where he was sitting to arouse him. She discovered he was dead, and the grief of the poor woman and children was heartrending in the extreme. Work was suspended and the employees gazed upon the sad scene with solemn faces. The body was removed to his home on the Evans place and relatives at Clarksville, Tenn., notified of the calamity.
 Mir Farmer was about 40 years old and leaves wife aud four children, the eldest girl of Is, to mourn his untimely death. He had been in ill., health for some time.

The Meeting In Johnson.


 There was a joint debate between the democrats and populites at Lati- mer schoolhouse, in Johnson township, on Wednesday. There was big bar becue and plenty for all. A storm in- terfered somewhat with the proceed ings, but, upon the whole, the affair passed off very pleasantly.
 Judge Coffey devoted most of his talk to denunciation of the Arkansas election law and the proposed amend ment to the constitution. He said the Lodge force bill was mild affair when compared with the Arkansas law. Judge Coffey is the only populite in Arkansas who has the nerve to ut ter the true sentimens of his party by advocating the infamous force bill.
 Sheriff Fitch followed in similar strain, and. among other ridiculous things, said the merchants who paid taxes for their ustomers-farmers- held back their receipts until they paid their accounts in full.
 Judge R. J. Williams responded and scored another victory so far as argu- ment was concerned. He explained the workings of the force bill, and asked the people if they preferred their local election machinery to remain in their own hands, conducted by men whom they knew and who had all their interests in the community, rather than in the hands of non-residents ap- pointed by the federal government and backed by the United States sol- diers?

ACorreCtIon.
Corr, ARK, Aug. 9, 1s9:

CoLT, ARK, Aug. p, 1892. To the Editor of the Forrest City Times:
 Please allow me space to correct a false impression that has been made by your Colt correspondent. 1 will con- mence by saying: Why does the heather man rage and imagine vain things? 1 will answer; Because of ignorance, and, in this case, inexcusable igno- rance. Had he made inquiries he could easily have found out who the young preachers were that are with us and where they are from, but from his little note it seems he went out in the dark and shot off his gun and didn't know what he was shooting ait. The facts in the case are these: Rev. Mir. Mckinney of Harrisburg. Ark, and Rev. MT. Lowe of Natchez, Miss, two Baptist minister, were employed by the Mount Vernon association to hold meetings i'll the destitute parts of the assocation-that is iN places where we have little or no preaching. And assure you many of the people in this community are thankful to God for sending them. Under their preaching many sinners have been made to re- joice in the love of God and Christians have been made to see their duty more plainly and have reJoiced while per forming it.
 The meeting closed at Oak Hlll Sun day at II o'clock. eighteen having pro fessed Christ, while others were still inquiring the way. Sunday night at 7:30 o'clock they commenced meet ing at this place. Mir. Lowe preached a grand sermon, at the close of which many came forward asking Christians to pray for them. The meeting will continue every night through the week unless provideutially hindered We are expecting great blessings from the Lord. Christians, pray for us that we may not be disappointed. In conclu- sion, we pray that the young heather Jas he terms himself) may be among the number who find peace to their souls. There were eight persons bap- tized into the Oak Hill church Sunday evening. Three more are standing over and some are waiting to join the Colt church. Hence, you see, Mir. Editor a good work is being done here if these preachers did think we were all heathpnS

In Memory of James Cray Vlok.


 Heaven has one angel more, for on the morning of the 18th inst. death, with its icy hand, took from a mothers arms her little bud and transplanted it iu d brighter cline to burst and spread its leaflets there. Little James was the idol of his mother and the pride of his fathers heart, and they ask where, oh, where is baby now2 and echo au- swers. ''gone?" But let's not think of him as being gone or number him with the dead, but think of him as too pure for this earth and has only gone home to await and welcome mamma and papa in 'the sweet bye-and-bye So, now let's leave him in the hands of Him, and trust that he is now an angel with d starry crown set upon his golden tresses, soaring in the sunlight of heaven. Farewell, little James; the leaves of many autumns and the snows of many winters will cover your mar row home, but we'll forget you not
 Dear little treasure. thou hast left us;
 Here thy loss we deeply feel;
 But 'tis God who hath bereft us
 He can all our sorrows heal"
