 c. c. Winford. George E. Mallory, W. B. Mann and A. M. Nash jointly purchased fine sorghum mill, which arrived Monday and will be placed in position at once. These gentlemen have golden" cane sufficient to yield 2000 gallons of frst-class mo,asses. And it beats raising cotton two to one.
 E L. Dooley of Aplin. Perry county. arrived in the city Tuesday, accom- panied by Lls wife, son and grand mother. The party came overland in a couple of wagons and are visiting Dr. II. F. Dooley of this place. Mr. Dooley is brother of our Dr. Dooley, and the two had not met in twelve years.
 The populites claim they will have the almost solid vote of the colOred people in this county. Why do they make this claim? What have they ever done for the negro that they should claim ownership of his voteY Have they ever rendered him an office save a petty magistracy? All negroes are not fools.
 Miss Fannie Winfield will enter the Galloway college at Searcy in Septem- Der as one of the teachers. We are ex- ceedingly sorry to lose Miss Fannie from the postofiice, where her uniform courtesy and close attention to duty won the goodwill of all. We hope prosperity and success may attend her in her new sphere.
 Miss Maria Elliott's many friends will be delighted to learn that she will return to Forrest City early in Septem- Der and resume her vocation of music teaching. Miss Elliott is a great favor ite with both the public and her pupils, and we know the intelligence of her prospective return will be hailed with sincere pleasure by all.
 During the temporary absence of Operator Munson the writer acted as operator at the Iron Mountain depot. and was very much surprised at the volume of passenger traffic enjoyed by that road We had no idea it had reached its present proportions. The Iron Mountain is rapidly acquiring d large share of even the Memphis and Little Rock local business.
 We notice that Judge J. s. Thomas of Clarendon and Col. R. J. Williams of Forrest City are out on the stump doing good work as democratic electors, but are not being regularly met by the republicans. No wonder, when the republican electors would have to pay their own way, with no possible gain of even decent thanks or otherwise iil the outcome. 8 Free South.
 The mother of John Brown, THE TIMES'S colored porter, died last night after an illness extending over a period of two or three years. She was a good old colored woman, whom everybody esteemed for her her courtesy and kindness of heart. John has been her chief support during her illness, and we must say he has performed sons duties in d manner which many white boys might emulate with credit to themselves.
 It was announced the revival at the Methodist church would close last night, but owing to a renewal of inter- est in the services it has been decided to continue the meetings. An unusal awakening has been manifested and many professions have been made. Five gave in their uames last night, but this does not, by any means, repre- sent the extent of the good work done by Revs. Kilgore and Kelley, whose tireless iabors have been signally blessed.
 We regret to learn of the serious ill., ness of Mrs. Esther Gray of Colt. Her mother, Mrs. J. k. Scott of this place, has been at her bedside for nearly two weeks, and so critical was her condition Monday that her brother, Dr. w. w. Scott of Park Place, Lee county, was telegraped for and passed through the city Tuesday in obedience to the sum mons. Latest intelligence indicate 6 slight improvement in Mrs. Gray's condition, and we trust she may soon recover.
 The colored people are not doing the square thing by Judge Coffey. He went up into the Green Williams neighborhood a week ago last Satur- day night with the view of running things, but the colored people refused to be run" Instead. they locked the doors on the judge and refused to have anything to do with him. In addition to this rebuff our worthy judge broke his buggy, which no doubt increased hIs pain. I is sad-very sad. And yet the populites claim the solid negro vote!
 The ladies of the Episcopal church are planning to have an "Old-Time Tea" Everybody will be invited and requested to attire themselves in cos: tunes representing the days of long ago. Bread, butter and tea will be served to the guest. To the one who has the most complete costume souv- enir will be presented. The small sum of fifteen cents from each person will be gratefully received, to aid in build ing the Episcopal church in Forrest City. The entertainment will be al "Fairview," the residence of w. Cor. man.
 A secret circular issued by the ex ecutive committee of the populites making appointments in the various counties at which democratic speakers would not be present because of igno rance of the arrangements, was se cured and published by the Little Rock Gazette this morning. From this list St. Francis county is omitted But why should the populites seni foreign speakers into St. Francis cOun ty to urge the claims or the People, party? Haven't we Gillespie? Haven't we Sweet? Haven't we that match less swill-tub statesman, Brer Feath erston? And, head and shoulder! above 'em all, haven't we the wise and witty Manning? This pious aggrega tion of wild and woody lip-artists, il seems to us, should meet the demands of even the populites.
