 There are numerous ''patches" of sor- ghum in this locality which is ripcning nicely and the making of molasses is giving empi0, ment to some. The excel. lent crop of sorghum bids fair for d low price for molasses this season.

A Card From Mr. BIanton.

In retiring frolu lIr sin business m Forrest City I desire to tender III, thanks to my friends and patrons foi their liberal patronage in the past. IL has always been my purpose to deal fairly with all, and if failed at an, time it was not intentional. hav. sold my ginning business to the For rest City Gin Co. and C. II. liavens-- gentlemen wio are too well knewn fol their business capacity and fair deal ings to require any comment on m, part.
 Their ginning capacity is equal ts three times the amount of cotton thai has been ginned at tllis place. hcuct those who have net been giHi,::ig, II. town can bring their cotton here with the assurance of having 1t ginned from the wagon, thereby saving the weari some job of unloading by hand.
 Their ginning machinery is nnsur- p .ssrd and up-to date. The Forrest City being the most modern but oi .less capacity. C. II. IIavrn's. while lls gus are not new. are in frst-class orGcr and will be managed by mel with experience.
 trust that ali things may work tc- getner fog good and that peace and prosperity may reign throughout ouI land p;ir t.otiuffy

DEMOCRAT TIMES.

Crops are good.
 The weather is hot.
 Lots of sickness here.
 Our lost school teacher returned Sunday to the greatest delight of the patrons of the school.
 J. NJ. Wallace, one of our most enter prising farmers. was a hustling visitor in this section Tuesday.
 James Fitzgerald and wife moved into this section the later part of last week. The logging camp at Heth, must be a tough place. as several of the boys have tried it but none of them remained. Robert Fitzgerald -that lost boy-is a frequent visitor here. There must be some great attraction for him.
 A. Whyte. of Madison. was in this sec- tion. this week, looking after timber. We are very glad to note that P. Jack son is improving after several days of fever.
 We had very heavy rain here Wednes- day. Turnips will come in a hurry now. The opossums are having good time now. as the paw paws are ripe.
 If the rain had been delayed a few days longer some of the hogs in this section would had to have been soaked over night so they would hold slop.

NEW CASTLE TIMES.


 As my other little communication did not find it's way 10 the waste basket. will endeavor to send yeu few notes this week.
 It's very warm and dry this week 10 the advantage of growing crops. Cotton is opening very rapidly. We
 have counted as high as nine open boles on one stalk.
 The farmers of this community have saved more pea hay this summer than they have for several years before, which is step in the right direction. We can safely say that Johnson township will have plenty of corn and hay without go- ing north and west for it another year. of their condition. If we do not realize more than four cents for cotton this ear, woe be unto him who has plunged head long into cotton. The time has come when we must step and think of our con. dition. and raise more corn and hogs and the ntcessaries of life. Our smoke houses and corn cribs and hay pens have been 0ry ond the Arkansas line ever since can remember.
 Sham. on community of intelligent farmers, as we have in this section of the country, possessing, as they do, as fine soil as God ever planted forest OH, where fl Is adapted 10 every thing that will or could make man and beast happy. l say shame on we tiIIers of the soil and wielders of the sickles to ask our mer- chants 10 send to Egypt for our bread. Now. let every one of us think Of this seriously and get out of those old cotton gulIics and fill them up next Spring with wheat straw, and turn our attention to something that we can get the bread of life out of.
 E. l. Horton and wife attended the meeting at MacEIroy's church last Satur- day and Sunday.
 Hon. 5. NJ. Blslock visited Forrest City Saturday. but he failed to take his assist. a,t teacler-we learned since that he got disappoi. ted about his conveyance. NIT. Arthur Hamilton returned from Alabama. Sunday. where he has been to visit relatives.
 J. W. Swan has large smile on his face since old Gray Buck has begun to pick up. Jimmie told one of his best friends. probably Mir. Nichols, that he be- lieved old Gray would get down OH the lift before crops were done. We had another sad accident in our community Sunday, by horse running away The horse that ran away some tune ago and killed Mir. Montgomery, got frightened between this place and Colt station, with Mrs. Montgomery and an. other lady and a gentie,nan in the buggy and threw them out, injuring both ladies very bad.
 Mrs. Minnie Hendrix is visiting her mother this week, Mrs. T. E. Stout. Tle death angel has again visited our community and taken from the home Of Mr. and Mrs. Lemmons their sweet little baby boy. Grieve not after him for God 'es all things well. We imagine our little oies say this to us: Behold my mother and father as they mass by. As you are now once was l.; As am now. you must shortly be, Prepare for death and follow me.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Dec. 29.-The market has
shown little material change to-day. The
general demand for staple cotton goods
has been of moderate proportions and in
most lines of prints and ginghams the de-
mand has been light. The tone continues
unbrokenly strong, and it is apparent that
any changes in prices to be recorded for
some time to come will be in an upward
direction. Print cloths are strong in
tone, although current demand is quiet
for regulars and for narrow and wide odd
goods In other departments, covering
wooden and worsted goods silks, hosiery.
underwear, etc. the market has present.
ed no new features.
