HAYNES TIMES.

John NJ. Prewett of Forrest City was in town Monday.
 Every farmer in the country is con- painng of the grass.
 F.. A. McCulloch was in town Monday another law suit you see. "
 Spring poets have blossomed only to lose their sweetness on the desert air. This applies to Haynes only.
 There has been some interest mani Tested in new enterprise-a newspa- per-which if properly edited will add unity and nourlshment to our surround ing country.
 Chldren's day at the Baptist church will be observed on June 25. All are ex- pected to join in the celebration, which we sppreheDd will be sublime in it's mag nanimlty.
 One more thought and we will close for this time: you who are expected to marry you know who l mean) 1 wish to say this De sure you are right amt then go ahead. would be very sorry if you was to make mistake. Dr. c. E. Swift returned from Cherry Valley, where he has decided to locate. on last Thursday returning Monday, accom- panied by his wife. They will be long remembered and soon expected back as Haynes, you know, is the garden spot of Eastern Arkansas. May God, in His infinite love. come down among the troubled souls and take | folly out of their bosom is our prayer. There is going to be a wedding sometime l after the celebration of the national hoi- | day July 4, and then next in session is a trip to the worlds fair. The sociabIe given at the residence of MT, ana Mrs. R. II. Lindsey, was a suc- cess. Many were in attendance who were unexpected; however, time flew away and the merry light footS was heard until 2:30 when all dispersed to join together ill the sweet sumbers of morpheus. We ex- tend to the host and hostess our many thanks, but only hope this will not be the last. Again thanking them We ask that Gods blessings will fall upon them.
 On last Sunday night fight took place at the African Methodist church, be- l tween Toby Mcclure and Jim Johnson. and, in the sklrmish for victory, Tobe
 
 ticate his opponents smeler, but owing to being little excited, threw the brick above the place aimed at, consequently there is Jim who has fractured skull and may die, and Toby out on bond to appear at the honorable mayors court on next Friday. Haynes is a cherished spot Where honest men have cast their lot, To be free from life's toilsome cares And shielded from the tempest's snares. And in this town we have many friends Who will throw the rope of many ends, To induce the people to come and see What may be found in our country. We are well equipped with two gins and a mil And our local politicians is Mir. R. o. Gill; There is J. II. Gray. who buys brass and old bones, And our medical doctor is D. I. Jones. Our obliging postmaster is Mr. Jno. J. Hughes, Who is also dealer in boots and shoes. Wong Way is the Chnaman who deals in knick knacks, And our genial young groceryman is David s. Jacks Chas. E. Henderson is our young school teacher.
 And w. w. Hendrix is our Methodist preacher. J. II. Darper is the popular counter hopper. And the town has employed J. Nj. F.. Branch as it's copper Our prominent planter is Col. J. T. Friar. But we with hold the name of our cham pion liar. G. D. Harper is the sexton who rings the bell. And w. w. Mcdaniel runs the city hotel c. R. Robuck, as we can all plainly discern,
 Is the manager and leader of the mercan- tile firm. And despite the children that hollow boo boo. Ben Hood has a grocery and millinery too. W. H. Halbert must with us join. And cut for our breakfast nice sirloin And by the way, Patrick, how is that, You said you had an easy job and there fore stOod-pat? O. S. Gibson may be seen on the streets With a pleasant smile for those he meets,
 And as far as other things we are unaware,
 But we'll venture to say it's on the dead
 square.
 Dr. J. A. Williams we must put on the page,
 As a physician who is up with the age.
 While some people at him ignorantly grin,
 We wish to post you-He is still in the swim.
 Mir Nat Smith is full of energy and skill.
 And is the owner of that little mill
 That is run under the supervision of Willie.
 his son,
 Who came up from Helena to see it well
 done.
