IT WILL BE 4 SUCCESS

and continues until December 90. IS distinctly Southern enterprise of mag nificent proportions, and one in which every Southern man should take pride and every man who is concerned for the advancement of the South should take an interest.
 Ilomeseekers, capitalists and others will visit the Exposition for the pur. pose Of obtaining information of South ern enterprises. southern resources. and southern opportunities. The funds at the disposal of Commissioner Vim eenheIler is greater than the appropri- ation made by the state for the Chicago exhibit at the Worlds fair, and we are ereditably informed that his collection of exhibits already forwarded is far su- perior to any ever made by the state. And while this. no doubt, is a gratify- ing fact, vet we believe there is no specimen of any Of the products of St. Francis county among this magnificent collection.
 The Atlanta Exposition. says the Russillyille Democrat, twill afford an excellent opportunity for Arkansas to advertise her resources and advantages and it is a matter of pride that the state has provided for an elaborate dis play, Bnt Commissioner VinceBhell although he is backed by the state and ton cannot do everything. Every county in the state should be thoroughly alive 70 the importance of the occasion, and leave nothing undone to secure the greatest possible amount of good for the exposition"
 Now, if St. Francis county cannot be ereditabiy represented by specimens of her products, there is still another way and 1t is thus made all the more necessa- ", and that is by and through de- scriptiye pamphlet.
 THE TIMES will issue such book We have met with none but encourage sng words so far in this undertaking Numerous citizens, among them. farm ers, lawyers, merchants and others, have praised our enterprise and volun- tarily promised to give us substantial assistance. We have no fear but that St. Francis county will thus come to the front and make ereditable show lng.
 TIE TIMES has ever been foremost ln promoting the best interests of For vest City and St. Francis county and will continue to be. At least, our in. tentions are in that direction. We be- heye the exposition, on account of be inga d southern enterprise, affords an excellent opportunity which we cannot afford to miss, to advertise the aavan- tages of our town and county. and if She public will assist us. the opportuni- ty will be utilized to the fullest possi- hle extent.
 If the people of this community will give us the proper assistance, and we know they will, wewill issue an edition ef several thousand pamphlets of 100. pages, more or less, for distribution at Atlanta and elsewhere. It is our de- sire and intention to make this the most complete and attractive souvenir ever issued in this county. We want to take advantage of our experience. and use our best efforts in bringing the resources of this great country before the eyes of wealth and enterprise. It will contain complete and exhaustive write up of the county, setting forth the commercial aud industrial inter. ssts of Forrest City and other towns in she best possible mannen. The wholn will be appropriately and tastefully Illustrated and printed upon fine papeu al the best possible style.
 The publication of such pamphlet will cost considerable amount of money, and it remains for the enter prising citizens of this community 10 say whether the enterprise shall be a success or not. If they will give us. such encouragement as will iusure us against loss in issuing this special edi- elon, We will give them d souvenir that they will be proud of.
 Now is the most opportune. time to push this section to the front, and we. Keel confident that our people will take advantage of it. THE TIMES will con- tribute it's part, as 1t has always done. b4et everyone help
