The Forrest City times., 1894-02-16

Remember the musicale at tha resi- dence of E. Hurley nn the night of the 23d for the benefit of the Episcopal church fund. All are invited.
 Mrs. w. $. Durborow, who has been visiting her daughters in St. Louis for two weeks. and attending the wedding of her daughter, Miss Rosalie. returned home Monday. We learn that Mrs. Medley will visit Forrest City in few days. She will be the recipient of many warm congratulations when she arrives.
 c. A. Gorum. a popular merchant of Palestine, was in the city to-day. He informs us we are in error in regard to the location of the outrages committed by the lawless element near Palestine. Instead of being in Prairie township, the trouble should be accredited to Goodwin township and upper Lee county.
 Our old friend J. J. Grant. of Franks township. was in town Friday of last week and gave us pleasant call. He says there are fewer Improvements go- ing on on tue farms in his vicinity this year than he ever knew. We are sorry to hear this. Much can be done to inn prove farms before planting time which costs practically nothing. The announcement of a candidate in d paper doesn't commit the paper to his support and he should not expect it. The publication of items clipped from newspapers friendly to his cause. does not always mean that the paper endorses them. Business is business. The opinions of a paper are generally reflected in it's editorial columns Press.
 Dr. F. c. Johnson, dentist. of Para gould. Arkansas. will be in Forrest City, Thursday. Friday and Saturday, February 9, g and A. Full upper and lower set of teeth for eighteen dollars-no money to be received by him until work proves to be entirely satisfactory. Give him d trial. You risk nothing. This offer until March 24, 1894.
 We would like to impress it upon the | people of Forrest City that we are deal CTS Tn pianos and organS-be5t makes and that we are in position to mak 2 the lowest prices obtainable. Being homefolks, we are at least entitled to make you an offer when you are ready to buy. Then if we do not make the
 price right, buy somewhere else. Come and see us.
 We have a few first-class AccOrdeOn left over from the Christmas trade
 Prices range from $2. 50 to S6. For the next two weeks we will sell S6 accOr-
 deons at S4; S3 50 accortleons at $2 35;

A WOMAN AND MONEY.
Will McNaughton Absc0nds with Manford
Rilcys Wife and Savings.

Will McNaughton Absconds with Manford
Riley's Wife and Savings.
Manford Riley, a well-to-do contractor
living at Takoma Park, has lost $1,000 in
cash and his wife. viii McNaughton. night
watchman at the livery stable of Bradley
Bros, has also disappeared.
Last Monday Riley missed his wife, but
had no doubt of her early return until day
or two later. when he found that 1000 in
cash, which he had hidden In a chest, was
missing.
1t seems that McNaughton was originally
a sewing-machine agent. Several months
ago he sold Mrs. Riley machine. Since that
time he has made frequent visits to the house
in the absence of the husband. ostensibly for
the purpose of repairing the sewing machine.
The case has been placed in the hands OF
Private Detective McDevitt. and the couple
are now supposed to be in Chicago.
Mrs. Riley is charming woman of about
25 years, but by those who knew McNaughton
it is not supposed that he would have taken
her with him If he could have obtained the
money without the woman.
Mr. Riley is not instigating any search for
his wife. He wants his cash.

John Locke's blind man, who hazard

this subject that we have now laid the
foundation of science Of color hearing.

faculty of color hearing as under -
