 Our friend A. ]. Pipkin, of Linden ! is probably one of the most successful 1 farmers ia St. Francis county. Mir, l Pipkin has already gathered and sold | litty-one bales of cotton and will crib over two thousand bushels of corn. 1 With hogs and cattle galore he thinks
 he will still survive the five cent cotton.
 A noteworthy fact about MT. Pipkin is
 that his mules stay in the lot all winter he never turns them out in the cane. Novelties in our line are numerous this season. and we have just returned 1 from St. Louis and other markets where we purchased the most beauti- ful stock ever shown in Forrest City. 1t must be seen to be appreciated, and we are very anxious to have you visit our store, next door east of the bank, where it will afford us genuine pleas ure to name you prices on any and everything in stock which will astOnlsh | and please you.

 w. R. Kendrick. of Widener, cO)lec- tor of the Levee Taxes in this county for the St. Francis Levee board, was in the city Tuesday. He informs us that the penalty of 9 per cent will at tach to all unpaid taxes after the last of this month. and it seems to us, that all landholders who possibly can should try to pay before that time and save this additional expense. MT. Ken drck will be at Widener for the purpose of receiving these taxes from this date uutil the time expires.

 We attended the Confederate re- union at Forrest City Friday of last week. To say that it was d two-fold success would be telling it only half. The good people of St. Francis county and Forrest City did themselves honor for the occasion. Everything that heart could wish was done to make the boys" feel at home, and to pay honor | to whom honor is due. We can never speak too highly of the people of St. Francis county. They are patriotic and love the men who wore the gray. and will always be proud they belong to the "Old South" May we all live to attend many such reunions. .-CrOss | County Gazette.
