MIR. and Mrs. J. p. Bianton have the
sincere and heartfelt sympathy OF the
entire community in their deep Attic
ton. The loss of their bright and
promising and only child, a boy of some
eighteen months of age, whose death
occurred Monday, is the saddest event
which they will probably ever expe-
rience. Arrived at the most interesting
age, the little fellow had eDtwlned the
hearts of his parents in fond devotion,
and there will be an aching VOID. an III
tense longing there, which nothing but
time in its slow flight will soften. tx
cept to those who have experienced
like bereavement, the feelings OF the
mother who nourished him, and of the
father who was wrapped up i'll the fu-
ture, of this sweet little angel, cannot
be fully appreciated.
The Confederate Veterans Reunion
and Fourth of July celebration at
Brinkley was brilliant success, not
withstanGing the elements seemed to
conspire otherwise. large number OF
citizens of Forrest City were in attend
ance, including the band, which fur
nisbed music for the occasion, and all
were delighted with the entertainment
accorded them. A grand ball was given
at the opera house at night, which was
also largely attended and AN occasion
of much pleasure. The only real dis
appointment was the refusal OF the
Clarendon base ball team to meet our
boys in the diamond, though the condi-
ton of the grounds, whether sufficient
reason or not, was at least a reasonable
excuse. The TIMES hopes for many
returns of such happy events,
Six onions. weighing 81 pounds, and
the largest measuring IA inches in cir
conference, may be seen at the News
stand. They were raised by q. W.
Mccormick, from seed planted III
September of last year, were never
transplanted, and withstood the severe
frosts of last winter in the open ground.
Onions have a steady value in the
markets, with demand far in excess of
supply, and few hundred acres de-
voted to their culture would prove a
bonanza to the enterprlsing agricul-
turists who might undertake to raise
them. They grow to perfection in ST.
Francis county, as does every other
specie of domestic produce, and we see
no reason why some of our farmers
should not get the benefit of their great
value and abundant yield.
Chas. Delano, of near Colt, was
down to the speaking Wednesday. He
informs us that he is ready to harvest
his wheat, and that he expects to make
about 10 bushels to the acre. The
nearest Touring mill is at Hydrick. 80
miles distant, yet he believes, even
with this small YIELD it will pay to
raise enough to supply the family with
bread. VIM. Stone, Of Colt, lie SAYS,
contemplates putting up Touring
mill this fall. Such an enterprise is
greatly needed in the county and will
prove good investment Every farmer
in st. Francis county should raise his
breadstuffs and surplus enough for
those engaged in other avocatons. We
can't afford to send to Missouri, Hi.
nois and other states for -four, when it
can be made in abundance at home.
Forrest City ought to have -four mill
At Brinkley on the Fourth. partaking
of the general exuberance of the occa-
sion, and loud i'm praise of the Forrest
City base ball team, and disparaging to
the Clarendon nine. Will Moore became
involved in a quarrel with a stranger,
which resulted in Il fight and cutting
ARRAY. Moore claims he had given the
stranger no cause for trouble, that he
was a much larger man than himself,
and that in self-defense and after suf-
fering several severe blows and much
abuse, he defended himself with his
pocket knife, cutting his antagonist in
the stomach. Moore was arrested and
despite his protestations of injustice
and offer of bond, was locked up in the
city bastile. The wound proved not Sc
rieus, and after few hours contine-
ment he was released on bond to ap-
pear for trial yesterday. At the trial
he was charged with disturbing the
peace and fined SIS and costs.
We learn from the Mariana Index
the following particulars of the tragedy
which occurred at Haynes Sunday: j.
L. Morrison and Wiley Gray. who were
employed with the men now repairing
bridges along the Iron Mountain rail
road, got into quarrel at Haynes last
sunday evening, which resulted i'm
Gray being fatally cut by Morrison.
1t seems that the two men had been
to Helena during the day and returned
10 Haynes on the evening train. They
had eaten their supper and were stand
ing outside the car, joking with each
other. AT first, it was in fun but
Gray suddenly became enraged and
started to hit Morrison; the latter
happened to have his knife in his hand
and defended himself. Gray received
two or three cuts on the arm and sew
