TEMPERANCE NOTES.

The fifteenth annual Convention of the w. C. T. U., closed on Friday morn- ing April 2S. The session was a most profitable one. The delegation num- bered forty-two, and besides this many visitors filled the hall of representatives where the meetings were held. An inspection of the members. and their methods of business, showed a body of cultured christian women, striving to do al in thelr power for the ameliora- tiOn of sin and sorrow, and a knowl- edge and application of parliamentary rules, that left but little to be desired in that respect. Many ministers from the city and neighboring towns were present and by their manifest interest showed that recognized the helpfulness of this organization.
 Miss Frances Griffin of Montgomery Ala, lectured twice, winning her hear CTS, by her wit, intellect, and christian spirit. This admirable lady who is called "the Mark Twain of the tenn perance reform," will lecture in For rest City in the near future, and all who fail to hear her will miss an intel lectual treat. The Demorest Medal Contest was an exceptionally fine af- fair. Miss Beth Wilson of Little Rock won the gold medal, but our contestant, Miss Mary Lancaster was only one point behind her, and that too in spite of the fact that Miss Mary was the youngest of the seven contestants She was highly complimented by com petsnt critics, and the thanks of our local l.. T. L., are due Miss Mattie L. MOseley and Miss Gertrude Wilson for her admirable training. The Con- vention will meet in Forrest City dur ing the second week in April 1894.
 The w. c. T. U., will hold their reg uar meeting at the residence of J. M Prewett, Wednesday, May 10, 1893, at four p. m. Each member is expected to invite at least three visitors and anyone who would like to hear report of the convention, and the plans of work for the coming year are cordially invited to attend.

A Plea for the Pigs.
To the Editor of the Forrest City Times

To the Editor of the Forrest City Times:
 It is true saying that there are two sides to every question. A man does not want to farm if he has not d suf- ficient fence to protect his crop. So, too, with town people; they can not expect to. raise a garden unless there is d good, hog proof fence around it. AS to gates, they are made to open and be immediately closed To such people the town hog is not much cause of trouble. Besides that, let us put up with little inconvenience for the sake of one or two worthy and deserv- ing widows, with families of children depending on them, often for very meager support. Their little brood of pigs running in the streets are a great help to them in feeding these little fatherless children. For their sake alone let the pigs run. You are d young man and I notice tue entire board of aldermen are young men. Some of them ought to feel little alarmed at the constant and regular increase of their families, and such men must have love for little chl- dren and lot of compassion for d poor widow. So, good folks. let the pigs run. J. II.

Some Rebe, Relics.

AS one who stood in the front line of battle during the war. as a defen der of the South. have brought together. and had published in book form. ..Some Rebel Relics From the Seat of War,o not as financial venture. but for tho purpose of cOmmemorating the spirit and manner of life of my comrade- in-arms, and of bestowing deserved honor upon the glorious cause for which we fought. And moreover. as all appreciative follower of the Divine Master, a sense of obligation to Him impelled me to do what could to mako known to this generation the gracious work of the spirit among soldiers, to the praise of His adorable name. Sure ly the Lord did great things for us, and although we could not by great odds match our enemy in military re- sources of men and means. we were nevertheless abundantly supplied by our Heavenly Father with tile richest of spiritual benefits.
 Having served first as private, and afterwards as lieutenant, 1 have writ ten of the war as saw it. There were many little things, so to speak, seen only from such position, which inter- ested me very much. and which other writers. so far as l know, have not chronicled. These 1 have thought worth while to put to record. that other phases of the war than campaigns and battles may be seen by those not famiI- far with such things. But why not let the dead past bury its dead ?'' we are asked. Must our principles be buried? must there be blank pages in the hjs- tory of such movement as the one which yv or f1.r mere sentiment, even though it h. the amiable one of fraternity. Wlile there WAS much wrath mixed with the aar between the States, it was nevertheless waged on the part of the South for the protection of innate ana constitution right, and just so long as we are de- nOunced by our adversaries as traitors and heathens, just so long will we con- tinue to re-asSert our princ ples. and to lodge the responsibility of the frat ricidal strife where 1t properly belongs. not for worlds sake" if you please. nor to foster discord." but in tn. In- terest of self-respect aud truth We would be self-cOnfessed vagsbu nGs if we did less than this.

How He Got the Order.

When the Sultan of Tu rkey desired to
be invested with the Order of the Gar
ter, peculiar difficulty arose-not the
opposition of English dignitaries, but a
Mohammedan law which forbade the
person of that ruler to be touched
whereas the garter must be buckled on
below the left knee of each recipient.
Tue Sultan's long robes further compG-
Gated the situation. At last, alter
weighty deliberations, it was settled
that a vertical slit should be made
through the Sultan's draperies, through
which his knee should be thrust, and in
this way by executing due care the gar
ter was safely and lawfully fastened

"haleDOne.

Whalebone has dropped to 81 per
pound on reports for the Arctic that
American whalers have taken $50 tons
of the bone. There have been seasons
within the last thirty years when such a
mass of whalebone would have been
worth from $1,000, 900 to 50, 500, 600 and
there have been other seasons in the
same period when it would have been
worth less than $500,000 The product
of bone from the American Arctic fleet
this year is four times the product of
1880. 1t is nearly 100000 pounds great
er than the product of 1889. That's the
year dealt with in the census of 1890
the bone alone this year, although the
price is far below what it was in 1889, is
worth nearly as much as the entire
product of the whale fishery of the
United States in that year. The oil
from the Arctic feet this season will
probably reach 5000, 000 gallons, which
is more than three times the oil product
Of the whole fleet in 1889, including the

Thirty thousand or 10000 people are
killed by snakes every year in India,
and the number is increasing. The
government, during eleven years, has
paid nearly 100000 in rewards for the
heads of dead snakes, but it is thought
that much of this has been paid to out
cast swindlers who have bred snakes on
purpose to gain the reward. Good Hin
docs will not kill snake. They re-
gard the serpent as sacred. ''The
serpents' fete day" is a holiday
throughout India, and when the
housewife hears cobar chasing rats in
the ceiling they stop in their work and
clasp hands in alteration. In many
houses, in the far South, the natives
place milk in saucers for the snakes to
drink, and if snake is killed by acct
dent, the slayer is enjoined the cere
monies proper upon the occasion of
brothers. death. This is often neg
lected, however, but as a substitute
the murderer burns the snakes skin as
an offering to its spirit. In the face of
feelings such as these the determination
of snakes seems imDOssibie

There seems to be no end of anec-

always been noted as a casuist. When
a young man Macaulay said of him
He is plausible when most in error.
When it suits himself or his party he
can apply himself with the strictest
closeness to the real point at issue;
when to evade the point is deemed
most polite no man can wander from it
more widely" And Lord Malmes-

have him; he has a wife" Lord Pal

Deacon Holman, who had only recently

this thing continues American bird life
of the gentler order will pretty soon be-
