ARKANSAS is rapidly settling up with people from the north and north- west, and not day passes which does not bring letters of inquiry from pros pectiye settlers. We have received several letters this week, and it seems to ns that there should be some organi- zation to look after these people, and place before them proper information regarding the wonderful resources of this specially favored section. If en- couraged THE TIMES would like to print a descriptive pamphlet which would bring settlers to this country.

 The first teachers meeting was held last Friday An hour and a half was pleasantly and protitably spent by the teachers in discussing the various prob- lems regarding school discipline
 There IS a pleasant rivalry now be- ing manifested among the pupils. This is accustomed by d strife for the beauti- fnl banner, which now hangs in Mrs. Ross room, in consequence of her pu- pills having been more prompt in atten- dance during the past week than any other room.
 No man can succeed in life without being punctual in attending to his business. Going to school is the pupils business If he is punctual in this. he will be apt to be punctual in other busi- ness.

Lucile Galloway Russell, late mem- ber of Forrest City Lodge No. 329. Knights and Ladies of Honor.
 We finger over the memory of our friend and sister, for it gives us pleas nre to think of her as a lovely example of motherhood and womanhond-a friend, earnest and untiring in her faithfulness in the church, in society, Tn the home of rich and poor, the same in love and charity.
 Looking into the past and into the future as far as human eye can reach, we find the knowledge of death, cast on every life. We know. we feel, tbat 1t is the fate of all to pass from this lie. this world.
 When the stately Ships go on to the Haven under the Hlls," carrying the souls of our loved ones, we watch. shading our eyes for one last lingering look. murmuring farewell But not for all eternity, for we have the prom Ise sweet and true, that beyond the Hills. we may find the Happy Land, the Haven of Rest.
 From the depths of our hearts. we feel and express our sympathy for the family of our sister-those who miss her each day.
 We ask for their comfort, the bless ing of the Friend of all friends.
 The last sad act of life and love has been fulfilled. We bow in submission to the will of our Father. COMMITTEE:

THE Arkansas Democrat takes a most sensible and altogether practical view of official bonds. Experience has ever been the most valuable of tutors. and the editor of the Democrat has been to school. He says: "If it is necessary for the state or the county to have official bonds let the state or county pay for them. Let the laws be 80 changed that these bonds may be made by guarantee companies just as they are made for private parties. Let salaries be slightly increased in order to cover such expenses, or let the law provide for the necessary expense by special appropriation. We have had too much trouble with defalcating of- hcers in Arkansas growing out of the present system to let it go on longer. It is rare indeed that the defaulting officer Is punished under the present system, but the bondsmen always suf- fer. But this may all be changed if bonds are abolished outright or if they are made by an indemnity company. The state or the company will see to 1t that in case of defalcation or embe e1zlement, an example is made of the defaulter. The result will be q higher standard among officials who handle public money and fewer scandals to bring reproach upon the people and their public servants"

WORN. PROPOSED OIL IN PROFESS ABOUT THE CITY.

January of this year Justice. Van Brunt refused
TO confirm this report, and the case Is now
before the Court of Appeals. This legal
delay would not probably have kept
the project so completely In allegiance as II has
been held but for the times OF money stringency
that we have just passed through. The men
interested in these twin bridges are men of
means, but they are also men OF large and varied
interests with more than one iron apiece In the

They have already spent about 5000. 900 for
those varied preliminary expenses which don't
cut much figure In the engineers estimates. but
are we'll known tn the promoters of big schemes.
Part OF this sum has, however, gone into the
making OF plans and borings and surveys, and

by various authorities upon the economies OF
such enterprises. They do not hesitate 10 assert
that there Is no volume OF business now or pros

undertaking., or afford any prospect oft earning
interest on the capital IL would require. IL Is
also apparent that the basis OF the capital ac-
count as furnished is vague, and that the dis
crepanctes between the various estimates OF cost
are so great that the enterprise can for tho pres
emit appeal only to the imagination. This, how
ever, Ii does very pleasantly; but whether IL will
ever materialtze into "a solid subscription of real
money cannot now be confidently asserted.
