upon it about one fourth the time and labor necessary in producing cotton crop. they would be in prosperous condition in very few years. In or der to secure freight rates which would leave them profitable margin, it would be necessary to cultivate exten- sive areas of fruits and berries for shipment. Of course, Northern mark cts would be the most profitable buy CTS. The supply for immediate home consumption could be furnished by d very small number of growers, and this would prove the least remunera- tive market. With cheap rates, con eeded to large shipments, our truck farmers could place their products in the markets at prices that would cause them to wonder why they had so long neglected the golden opport unity. It would be the salvation of this section if 10 900 acres or more were planted in small fruits and berries. Then King Cotton would be dethroned and an uu- exampled era of prosperity dawn upon this country. For the sake of our farmers. TIE TINES would be de- lighted to see this innovation.

A Word in Reference to the Features of
 The Times Souvenir.


 The Times Souvenir.
 It is with a feeling of pride that we present our patrons this paper. Per haps no publishers before us ever att tempted anything like it in Eastern Arkansas, and It was with rising and falling hopes that the management be- gan the work of preparing this edition. It was our first experience, and a large undertaking. How well we have succeeded in our efforts to make this paper representative of the enterprise of Forrest City, and credit thereto, IS left for others to say. We shall feel as if wo have accomplished much, and been well repaid for the great outlay of labor, if anything herein rebounds to the benefit and up building of our coun- ty and town. or the correction of erro- neous views which may be entertained by citizens abroad.
 The views and portrait cuts con- tained herein were made for us by Messrs. Geo. II. Benedict, Co, Chicago, from photographs taken especially for this purpose. The work is highly sat isfactory, the likenesses being all that could be expected in cuts of this char acter. And while a cheaper cut could have been obtained. we preferred to have something first-class, even though the cost was greater.
 UN. II fxf ar has been printed, and may be had at the office of publication at ten cents per copy, or in lots of 100 or more at 7f cents per copy, which IS but a frac- tion above actual cost.
 Owing to sickness Capt. W. II. Me- Daniel was unable to furnish us re- cent photograph. and the cut appear ing herein was made from a picture taken several years ago. The family features are prominent, however, and his portrait will be readily recognized.
 In preparing this paper it became necessary to print some Of our adyer- tisements in December, which will ac- count for the holiday announcements. and the appearance of firm names that may have been changed.
 Particular attention is directed to the page of 'speclal" advertisements which appears in this edition. These advertisements and the accompanying cuts are a feature of the souvenir TIMES, and embrace an innovation that has heretofore never been at tempted by the country press of Ar. kansas or elsewhere, and which will be appreciated at glance.
 The llberality of our people can be estimated from the appearance of this paper. We are perfectly willing to have 1t judged thereby. The citizens have given us the utmost Encouragement in word and deed, and assurance of their hearty cooperation, without which our work would have been failure and we beg they will accept our assurance of our hearty appreciation and thanks.
