Doyle turns out as good work as can be found anywhere i'll fact, we believe he is far ahead of the "city" workers who have hereto fore supplied this market with tomb stones, etc.
 Some years ago James Halbert dis appeared from his home in the south eastern part of this county. Last week skeleton was found in briar patch m his field and it was supposed to be the remains of the missing man. Dan Wylds was in the city yesterday and from him a TIMES man learned that the whole story was probably hoax, as lnvestlgati on by him failed to de- velop any facts worthy of credence. It | IS supposed Halbert is some where in the West, although nothing definite is known of his whereabouts.

 The faithful old choir and orcnestra: | they who have served the public so faithfully and energetically in the past. l responding at any and all times cheer fully and gladly to whatever demands have been made upon them, will, on | Thursday night, April the II, 1893, at l the building on southwest corner of Washington and South Front street. give an ice cream supper, the proceeds to be applied to dischaIging the bal ance owing by the choir on their hand some new organ. All friends and the public are cordially invited, and we hope this one entertainment will bring forth sufficient patronage and profit to discharge the choir from further work for this purpose. If the organ be paid for at this time. the choir will then feel more at leisure to serve their friends in other fields.
 "J. H." champions the cause of the | town hog in communication in this issue, alleging it would work hard ship upon the widows and orphans if the hog was banished from the streets. l How many hogs are owned by widows 1 in incorporate limits of Forrest City ?
 And if any are so owned, would it not

 town hogs possessed by said widows and orphans of the city and allow us

 1 There is no better demand for any l farm product-nOt even cottOn-than for good article of sorghum, and last years experience demonstrated that d
 fine quality of cane can be grown in
 this section. An average crop of 200 gallons can be produced, and a Mem phis firm has offered to handle the en-

 It will pay better than cotton, and will cost about One-half or one-third as

 instance: A farmer grows 400 pounds
 of lint cotton per acre (which is more
 than the average crop) and sells it for
 eight cents (which is probably two cents more than it will bring next falO the result will be thirty-two dollars
