 J. ?. Bianton returned Saturday from his visit tn Mississippi and claims enjoying most deligtful time. Why have Chills. Ague and Fever, suffer death and take gallons Of naU- seGus drugs to cure them? Ii you keep "Eepaticure" in your home and take 1t to regulate and purify the great organs of life. Blood, Liver and Kidneys, you will never be sick, we guarantee. Sold by druggists.
 The nOrth-bOund Iron Mountain pas senger train will, beginning with next Sunday, the 22d inst. pass Forrest City at 5:26 ?. m., instead of 7:20 ?. m. !, as heretofore. This obyiates the troublesome lay-over Of twelve hours for Memphis passengers ut Wynre or Forrest City.
 Dear delinquents, hear these words from an exchange: "There is more joy iD printing office over one sinner who pays in advance and abuses the editor on all occasions, than ninety and nine who borrow the paper aud sing its praises without c0ntri outing cent to keep 1t out of the poor house. Dr. and Mrs. " IT. Alley, accompa- nied by Miss Crook Haskins, will leave tonight for Virginia, where Miss Crook will visit friends. After brief stay at Old Point Comfort, Dr. and Mrs. Alley will continne their journey to New
 York city, where they will remain some time. TIE TIMES wishes the party pleasant trip. Two noted horses were brought to this city the early part of the week for the purpose of training on our splendid track at the fair grounds. They were Auburn H." owned by Mayor Burns of Texarkana, and Kate" owned by W. 2awlins of Helena. They are in charge of William Madison, an expe- rienced horse trainer.
 George Graieb, a cousin of John CatarboOna. arrived in the city the early part of the week. and has taken a position in the confectionery and restaurant of the latter gentleman. Mir. Graieb came direct from Tripoii, Syria, Turkey, and as yet speaks but very little English. He appears to be all intelligent, energetic young man, and we are sure will make a good citizen.
 Buffalo and turkey gnats are swarm ing over the country in myriads and are proving terrible pest to people as well as cattle. It is necessary to keep a smoke in stores and dwellings in or der to enjoy any degree of relief from them. A couple of days of warm. bright weather would effectually abate the nuisance, but the cool wave that has visited us this week has been favor- ble to their propagation.
 We acknowledge the receipt Of an in- vitation to be present tomorrow st the closing exercises of Miss Gray TayloT's school at Palestine, and regret that circumstances will prevent an accept ance. We are sure it will repay all who may attend. Palestine has one of the very best conducted schools in the county-or state, as 10 that matter and the interest taken by pupils. par ents and teachers is something out of tue usual order. The people cf that fortunate village are very proud Of their schO0l-and they have reason to be.
