ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The exercises for and by the children,
 at the Episcopal church on the after-
 noon Of Easter Sunday, were witnes ,ed Dy large congregation of citizens, and
 were highly enjoyable. The church was artlStlcally decorated with natural mowers and dogwoodsblossoms under tbe supervision of Mesdame5. Stone. Becker and Bell, and presented a love " appearance. The flower girls were our little friends. Misses Mable Davis.
 Mary Merwin and Olive Gatling. The
 programme consisted of songs, recita- tlohS. the decoration of cross with flowers, the distribution of Easter eggs and the reading of the Sabbath school services, all appropriate to the cele- oratlon Of the anniversary of the day when the Lord rose from the dead. Such services impress and familiarize
 the children with bible truths, and are credltable and praiSworthy. Besides
 these mentioned above, Mrs. Turley
 Mrs. German, Miss Freeman and
 others aided in conducting the ex- erclseS, and are ever alive To the pleasure and instruction of the child
 ren. and the promotion of church
 work and influence. It was, indeed d gladS0me occasion.
 The musicale for the benefit of the
 Episcopal church. given by Mrs. B. <. Shade, on Wednesday night, at the Forrest City Hotel. was one of the most interesting and enjoyable events of the year. The programme consist ing of piano duets, by Mrs. Ellis Fur
 ley and Miss Freeman, and Misses

 mandolin duet and piano accOmpani-
 ment by the littleIMisses None Rogers and Dwelling Rollwage. and Miss

 ner which demonstrated great natural
 ability, high:cultivation, and:good judg-
 ment in selection. The charming and genial hospitality of the hostess, with smiles Of welcome for each and every guest, solicitous forctheir comfort and enjoyment, contributed largely to .the 1 pleasure of the evening. The proceeds
 netted $l1 25. This sum will be added
 to "nest egg" already on hand, and the ladies hope to raise $50 by July l.. the accomplishment of which assures
 them donation from the Bishop of an equal sum, thus giving them Sl0O to be
 usedetoward liquidating theindebted- DeSS of the church.

4 Bad Coon.

Last Saturday Deputy Sheriff Laugh inghouse returned from Marion, Crit tenden county, having in custody Boss Garrett, colored. Garrett's criminal pr0pensltles seem to cling to him, and date back over score of years on the records of this county. In 1883 a se- rIous wreck occurred to passenger coach on the Little Rock and Mem- phls railroad one mile and half west of this city, in which several persons lost their lives, and score or more were wounded. Among the killed was A. Sallinger, a merchant at Wheatley, who had S2200 in cash and watch on bis person. In relieving the sufierings of the wounded this same Boss also re- lieved Sallinger's body of the bove named yaluables. He was soon de- tected and lodged Tn jail at this place, from which he soon effected his escape. The watch and most of the money was recovered. Since then Boss claims to have travelled in South America until two years ago. when he returned to the neighborhood of Edmondson, in Cflttenden county, where he has worked on farm.
 A short time ago he was arrested on charge of arson, upon which he came clear, though iu some manner his iden- tlty became known to the officers here, hence his return. He claims the jailor, one Baldwin, liberated him from the Jail at this place.
 Boss is now in jail awaiting the con- Venlng of the circuit court. The chan ces for successful prosecution of the charge is slim, as the twelve years that nave elapsed has made many changes, many of the witnesses being dead and the incident forgotten by those who survive.
 TPe officer brought his prisoner via. sJonesboro, fearing to risk trip to Tennessee, which he must have done had he came back via. lizard Station.

A Romance.

Nsyt Tuesday afternoon at o'clock.
 ,I,p Episcopal church, Marianne. Mir. T,1 Barrow, of our city, will wed ,t;ss Carrie Chew. of Gibsland, La. pav q. H. Lockwood officiating.
 There is a rich vein of romance con- ,ected with this engagement which is n,,ite interesting. A few weeks ago ,he voung couple were unknown To each other and met rather by chance. Miss Chew was visiting Mrs. T. C. Merwiil, her aunt, in this city, and one hich noon the young lady curious to know one's feelings under such cir cnmstances, robed herself in the we'd ding garments of newly married lady residing in the same house. She pre- srnted a lovely picture, and passers-bv ,yondered who the groom could be In answer to an inquiry, the bride, in all but groom, responded that she was waiting for him to put in an appear ance. In a spirit of levity, Mir. Bar row was sought, offered and accepted as the groom, and a mock marriage WAS proceeded with. In this short while Cupid had done his work effect iyely. The irresistible loveliness and sweetness of the mock bride was too much for Tom. and he then and there became woIshipper at her shrine, with the above result.
 Miss Chew is the daughter of MT. R. E. Chew, a prominent merchant at Gibsland, La, and besides her person. al lovliness. she possesses those woman iy traits of character which endear the sex to mankind and mark her as the masterpiece of Gods creation.
 Mir. Barrow is the junior member of the firm of German X Barrow of this city. and stands high in business an social circles. He possesses the quail. 6cations to make an ideal husband.
 While no cards were issued, the hap. py couple extend an invitation to all friends to witness the ceremony. The bridal party will return to Forrest City the same afternoon. and the week fol lowing the bride and groom will go to Gibsland to visit the brides parents.
 TIE TIMES, in advance, sees and predicts a beautiful life for the young couple and extends best wishes.
