 The Forrest City Canning company
 has been duly incorporated, with John Gatling, as president: E. Landyoigt, vice president; E. l.. Vadakin, secreta- ry and treasurer, and A. c. Wood, Samuel Worral, c. l.. Knight and G. W. Cook diretors, with capital stock of $l0 900, of which about S3500 in cash and notes has been fully paid up. The crop of tomatoes is ripening rapidly, and the company expects to commence operations in few days, perhaps by the 20th or 18th of this month. THE TIMES desires to impress upon the citizens of the county the importance of encouraging this enterprise at every turn. 1t is one which has great promise of benefitting to very con- siderable extent larger number of people than any enterprise now in operation Tn the county or that has eyer been inaugurated here. It will furnish a market for other products than cotton, thereby beneiitting pri-
 marIly and in the main the farmers. | They above all others should en- courage by word and deed every step | looking to it's advancement. manage ment and usefulness. It will put a considerable amount of money in cir cuiation at a season when money has always been very scarce, and when
 the merchant is compelled to sell his
 goods on credit, thus enabling him to
 get cash trade heretofore unknown ill this country. Therefore the factory
 will benefit the merchant and he
 should be in the front ranks, aiding
 and urging the enterprise to success
 fll termination. Again this factory promises to give employment to not
 less than fifty persons. mostly girls
 and women. The labor will be pleas
 ant, the order and ds;iI line will be strict and the character of the place
 above reproaeh, thus furnishing a
 respectab' place of employmtn mt for
 all ladies who wish to earn alivehhood.
 It would be useless for us to enlarge
 upon the great need and benefits of
 sach an institution in this direction. No colored labor will be employed. There are many other advantages and | attractions in and belonging to and the outcome of this factory, which are | we'll known; not the least of which is | the fact that it's successful operation means the encouragement of capitalists | 10 make larger and further investments in manufacturing enterprises ill this county. which, as everyone knows, is our crying need.
 Mir. c. D. Rogers of Missouri has teen employed to superintend the
 works, and comes to us highly recom-
 mended. He is thorough gentleman and an experienced procesS0r and gen. eral superintendent of canning facto- ries. MT. Rogers arrived in the city the first of the week, and is now ready to see the people who wish employment in the factory. With this step in view he has requested us 10 announce that he wishes all persons, male and female, | who expect employment, or who have an i'd seeking such, to meet him at u fact F iat 2: 90 P. n. next Mon day, July IS, and hand in their names. He will take pleasure in giving all in- formation possible in regard to the | factory and the operation of the plant.
 It is necessary that everyone who seeks employment there should be prompt at the time specified, because if sufficient labor cannot be found in the county it
 will have to be imported, and the com
 pany does not wish to send away from home for labor. Therefore, if you ia t, get employment because of absent ing yourself from this meeting, you
 have no one to blame but yourself.
 Tn conclusion, let us give those who
 have tomatoes for the factory point : The factory cannot use any green to-
 piatoes. The fruit must be nice and
 red and ripe. No other kind can be l used. Planters must watch the crop carefully and pick and deliver promptly,
 at the same time avoiding a mistake ill
 the opposite direction-that is, not al-
 lowing the fruit to become too ripe.
