THE signs continue 10 point more and more
effectively 10 the conclusion that the common
senee Of the Democracy IS going to send the
politicians to the rear while it dominates and
elects Grover Cleveland President of these
United States. That was a striking scene in
the Minnesota Convention Thursday when the
convention instructed its delegate by ris-
ING and cheering vote that was vigorously
unanimous as it is described in the tele-
graphic reports. TO vote for Grover Cleye-
land as long as there are reasonable hopes for
his nomination" This tells the tale This
shows where popular preference is. We be-
lieye he is to-day the choice Of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people Of the United
States. and that those people are going to have
their way and make him President.
On this subject the Baltimore Sun writes as
follows:
The total number Of delegates to the con-
vention is 900, and the Herald's correspondent
estimates that OF these 737 are practically
assured to Cleveland. The States counted Us
-'solid" for Cleveland already are all of New
England, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio,
Indiana Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
ne sofa, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska
Iowa, Kansas. Kentucky. Tennessee, Texas
an d the whole of the Pacific coast.

THr mistake made by the author of the ar
tics' on the Vital Statistics of the Negro. " in
the last number of the Arena. is in drawing
900 broad an inference from the rate ofmortal-
ity among individuals Of the race in theSouth-
ern cities. The rate of mortality in the coun-
try districts is not 50 high, and for obvious
reasons food Is more abundant, and the hy-
gienic conditions are better. If the rural rate
of colored mortality was as high as
the u ban the negro would in time
practically disappear from the Socth, but
there Is little probability of his Disappearance
as long es he continues to increase in numbers
in the co antry as he is now doing. The show
ing.of the last census is likely TO be repeated
for sever al centuries in the South. namely
that the white population is growing more
rapidly than the black, but. nevertheless. that
the black is growing.

Colt Times.

We have had several heavy rains in our community lately, but the bright sun showed it's golden light once more last Monday morning.
 We have great deal of sickness in our community at the present.
 Our two young missionaries have been holding protracted meeting in our city the past week. They did not have near so many professions as your last weeks correspondent reported at Oak Hill, l just wish to say his report was exaggerated on that question. We are sorry that we have such heathen- Christian as he is in our community. just further wish to say they only had seventeen professions at Oak Hin and at Colt church, and out of the seventeen there were thirteen baptiseds am sorry made the mistake of one of the young mem s native homes. I am glad the good Christain-heathen cor rected me on that point. All know that during the meeting you could hardly tell him from one of the preach CTS; but, oh, just wait until cold wealth ar Our people will please look over the shortcomings of such heathen as- he is We all know who the Christian heathen is that wrote to to last week s TIMES. l would be pleased to hear from the heather again. I think I will have better information in regard to him next time.

 About o'clock yesternay afternoon the handsome two-story residence of Hon. R. J. Williams, in the northern subeTbs of town, was destroyed by fire, which caught from defective kitchen flue. About halt the household goods were saved. Among tho lest was the piano, which could not be gotten out of the parlor. There was an insurance of f3000 on the dwelling and stables, the latter building escaping destruction. This was one of the best built dwell- ings in the city, and the loss will not be covered by the insurance. Judge Williams and family have the sym pathy of the entire community.
 Following is brief account of the results of the revival meeting recently conducted in the Methodist church in this city: About fifty persons professed faith in Christ and claimed to be con verted. Several others were reclaimed frem a backslidden state. Twenty-two have been added to the membership of the Methodist church. Six others have notified the pastor of their intention to join. Several have joined or will join other churches. In many respects the entire community was reached by tine wonderful influence of this great revival awakening. Forrest City never enjoyed better meeting. Rev. E. G Kilgore remained to the close, holding from three to four services each day l for three weeks
