COLT.

Colt IS situated nino miles north of Forrest City on the Helena branch of the St Louis, Iron Noun tain and Southern railroad, and was founded in 1882, when that road was completed. It has a population of about 100. There are two general stores, one oper- ated by N. G. Williams and the other by D. c. Floe. Both are doing a fourishing business. A large sawmill, owned by M. w.. Izard & Co.,, is in operation and turns out a large amount of lum- Der. This firm also operates Q large, well.equipped cotton gin. William Stone is the owner of one of the best equipped steam gins in in this section of the state. Tho educational facilities are ample, and the schools are conducted by competent teachers. The churches have largo congregations and the moral tone of the community is ex- cellent. A rich farming and fruit country surrounds this fourishlng village, and it is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in the county.
 Colt as a shipping point will make far showing with any town in this part of the country-much lumber and many ear loads of stave bolts and railroad ties, besides cotton, are shipped annually.

MADISON.

Formerly tho county seat, and at one time the principal town in St. Francis County, is now q small vil- lage with but one store. For many years Madison was a great ship ping point. Hundreds of covered wagons could be seen coming from all directions-some bringing in produce from the surrounding country to be shipped east, while others were conveying emigrants to the far west. Many changes have taken place lately. Covered wagons have gone out of fashion, and we don't ride on horses much, either. The country is full of railroads and we travel in fine palace cars drawn by steam locomotives, and in town the people have nice little cars to ride,.in and run them with a streak of lightning.
 The old courthouse, too, is now used for better purpose. It is now known as the Madison Hotel. Mrs. Trottman IS here, too; she will be remembered as Mrs. Bennett, who kept popular board ing house here thirty years ago.
 As before stated, Madison is now a small village. Most of the poo- pie moved of, so it's population now does not exceed two hundred. It has one church and one school. The school directors do their very best for the public schools, while Messrs. Alpheus McBee and Geo. ". Crippen take care of the Sum- day class. The principal industry in Madison IS Capt. J. G. Stern's shingle mill, managed by J. D. Clement. This mill employs if ] teen men, and turns out 10000
The Forrest City times., 1892-03-11

shingles daily. This mill has been in operation for ten years and has brought many thousands of dollars into St. Francis county. J. h. Bemis, of Texarkana, owns a largo plant here, consisting of lumber mill, 10000 feet daily capacity, and shipgIe mills, 75,000 daily ca pacity also a fine planing mill. This machinery has been idle two years. Four years ago, Mir. H. Blinn, who was tho owner of this plant, lost SIS, 900 here by fire, and Mir. Bemis has suffered losses else. whore, which is pro bably the cause of suspension of business. :
 Gurlcy X Berry own the cotton gin, which is complete in every respect and good paying piece of property. Ed. Berry is our enter prising merchant and Mir. D. Thorn is hotel keeper, and the busiest man in town is Col. Peter Coving. ton, master of the free ferry. He longs for crop time to come, so people will be too busy to travel,
 Madison has no street cars, no waterworks, and no electric lights, but it is surrounded by the richest farming land in the world, big railroad running right by, and the steamer Gayoso making weekly trips from Memphis.

CALDWELL.

Caldwell is located five miles north of Forrest City, on the Hele' ma Branch of the St. L., 1. NJ. & S. railroad, and at the west foot oi Crowley's Ridge, in a rich farming country.
 It has a postoffice, ticket office, two general stores, steam gin and grist mill, blacksmith and wood work shop, one clearinghouse, two doctors and magistrate for Telico township.
 It has good school-house, which is used also for church purposes by the different denominations having ministers in this country. It has q ten months school, with Prof. M, S. Hill as teacher.
 The timber business has beon immense here for several years, as shown by the hundreds of cars oi lumber, slaves, bolts, spoke and handle timber shipped. Also hun. dreds of bales of cotton are shipped each season. The gins here turn out from 800 to 900 bales each sea. son, notwithstanding there are seven gins within a radius of five miles of Caldwell, which proves that this is a fine locality for cot, ton, and it is equally good for everything olse raised in this lati. tude. The people are hospitable and welcome any industrious home. seeker,

NEW CASTLE.

Now Castle is situated quito pie turesquelY ten miles northeast of Forrest City, six miles east of Colt and two miles west of . steamboat landing on the St. Francis river. This little village is located on tbe summit of Crowley's Ridge, the ridge at this point being i've miles wide. In this beautiful spot has been erected a commodious and comfortable Methodist Episcopal church. There is also one store, doctors office, postoffice and black. smith shop. In the vicinity there are two churches belonging to the colored people, and district school for white children, the colored citi- zens using their church for school purposes. We have about e,gbt months free school during the year for both races. The Missionary Baptists have preaching at tho schoolhouse once a month. The health in this community is good, and will compare favorably with that of any place in Eastern Arkan- sas.
 With these advantages New Cas- tie is most desirable spot for a country home. A majority of the citizons are white and engage in farming. The township is settling up quite rapidly and with Q thrifty, industrious class of citizens.
 Quite a number of steam mills are located near New Castle. O. E. Doris operates steam gin, grlst mill and shingle factory; Willeford X Grigg (colored) have steam gin and grist mill Thomas & Eldridge have a saw mill; Capt. Stout has a steam gin and grist mill. There are also two steam saw mills in course of erection-one on the Jones farm and one near H ortense; in the southern part of the town ship A. NJ. Nash has large saw and blaming mill. All this proves that there is thrift and enterprise in that neighborhood, and that it is mov- ing forward in the march of i'm. provement.
 The soil is rich and produces on an average of half a bale of cotton, thirty bushels of corn. and an abundance of clover and other hay products per aero. Vegetables grow to simple perfection here. Farms are very we'll improved, with good fences, houses, etc, plen- ty of splendid water handy, and are in a state of high cultivation. Lands rent at from three to five dollars per acre. Corn is selling at fifty cents per bushel and upon the whole we have a fine country, a noble people, and plenty of room for all industrious, good.natured

GOODWIN.

Goodwin is a new town, pleas antly situated on the eastern side of Big Prairie, on the Little Rock X Memphis railroad. Goodwin is surrounded by prairie and wood land. On tho prairie Hungarian grass, millet, red top, timothy, clover, oats and peas are grown successfully, and apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes and fruits of all kinds. if cultivated, grow to perfection. The prairies offer su- perior inducements 10 stock-rais- CTS. While cotton is planted only in limited way on tho prairie, and while it is generally thought the cultivation of it is not remun- crative, yet, in some instances, good crops of cotton have baen gathered. The woodland east of Goodwin is being settled up with enterprisingand industrious people. The people arc sociable and law abiding, and arc above tho average for kindness, hospitality and Chris tian virtue.
 Goodwin lies west of Forrest City about fifteen miles, and the location is certainly lovely one. You can go 10 Goodwin with the assurance that hcr people will well como you and treat you hospit- ably.
 On tho best lands surrounding Goodwin seventy-five bushels of corn have been raised to the acre and upwards of one bale of cotton, and, with proper cultivation, Q large yield of every variety of veg citation may be expected.
 The soil is sandy loam, highly prod uctive, and is pronounced of the first quality for farming, as well as gardening and fruit-grow. ing. The climate is mild and reg ular, the variations indicated by the thermometer being compara- lively slight. Water is soft and pure, and of the best quality. Tim. Der comprises oak, hickory, null berry, elm, dogwood, ash and cat alpa. Goodwin is healthy, and on account of the mild and equitable climate pulmonary complaints arc rare.
 Any kind of business will do we'll hcre. The community is composed of a frugal, honest and dcbt.paying people, there being very few "bcats" among them, and as consequence merchants fare very well, indeed.
 Goodwin's population is made up of an intelligent, refined class and the social conditions are excel lent.
 The price of land around th,s thriving little city ranges from ten to fifteen dollars per acre for i'm proved, and unimproved is worth from three to eight dollars per acra

Public school is conducted five months in the year, and the citi- zens not 10 be behind the times have established in connection with it permanent high school, to con tinue ten months in the year. With on enrolment of seventy pupils, thorough curriculum and experi- enced teachers, it has so far proven success and is already attractirg 2 people to our town. Persons in search of educational facilities can do no better than to come 10 Pales- tine. Thus surrounding our boys and girls by refining influences we hope to make of thcm noble, intel- ligcnt, cultiv atcd men and women. That our dreams may not prove fallacious. we are substituting prac- tice for theory, and actual work fanciful imaginings. We hope by this means to build our town into a substantial, flourishing city, soc. ond 10 mono in morals and refino- ment.
 To all who are in search of such surroundings, we say come and help us build, resting assured that we shall not see our dreams fade into unreaIity, nor our castle fall to :he ground. But here, so near the spot hallowcd by the footsteps of the sainted Marquette and LaSalle, within sound of the tread of De- Soto in his march, we may see fully realized speculations, not so wild and fancifuI, perhaps, but far moro practical and benefcicnt than theirs

aIarco lsozxaris.

Soon after Fitz-Greene Halleck had
published his stirring Marco Bozzaris,
he repeated the poem to lady, an inti'
mate friend of his. She expressed great
admiration of the beautiful lines, but
when he was IN full enjoyment of what
he considered her perfect appreciation
she surprised him by the innocent query;
ssWho was Marco Bozzaris?'
well" said Mr.. Halleck, despondent-
ly, s:what's the use of becoming martyrs
for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes
if ladies won't even inform themselves
about the events of the day?'
The remembrance of another incident
connected with the poem never failed to
elicit a groan from its author.
At certain dinner party at which he
was present, it was expected that each
man should sing q song or make speech.
Among the guests was Dutch Jew,
whose English was execrable, and he
had been previously persuaded by joker
to commit the whole of Marco Bozzar1s
to memory that he might recite it for the
qualification of the poet and the poets

The day came aud the Dutchman was
| called upon to speak.
I seShentlerans, said he rising, 81 can
neither make de speech nor sing de song,
| but viii deliver Won grand poem.
| This he proceeded relentaessly TO do,
and Halleck, when he heard his harmo-
nious measures delivered IN q mixture
of English and Dutch, was divided be
tween the temptation to laugh and cry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A cabinent
officer is quoted as authority for the
statement that President Harrison will,
in his message to congress, ask for
authority to send an ultimatum to Chilli,
and In the event of it's not being favor
ably considered by that South American
republic that war will be at once de-
clared. The character of the ultimatum
which the president proposes to send is
said to be such that Chill cannot reply
favorably and acceed to its demand even
if president Montt so desired The war
like party and the anti-government
party of Chill are said to be in such a
state that they would revolutionize
the government if Chill should accept
the terms demanded by the United
States. 1t is now understood that the
president will not send the full CORES
pondence to congress, but merely a
synopsis of it, SO that it may be readily
understood and acted upon with vefy
little delay.

The Kailroad strikers.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Jan. 1S.-Last
night the Arkansas Pass rendered the
Southern Pacific car which was made
up with the west-bound train This
morning the Southern Pacific trainmen
refdsed to take out the train unless the
Arkansas Pass car was cut out. This
was done and the train departed. The
superintendent of the road will arrive
tomorrow and look into the state of
affairs. Further trouble may be pre-
cipitated at any hour. Local business
men are moving to assist in settling the
strike on the Arkansas Pass, and pre-
vent spread of trouble.
