The Citizens Duty.

Complaint is very often made
that the class of men who serve
on juries is not the highest, and
that the verdicts rendered arc
esten at variance with Justice.
Business men do not find time to
render jury service, and when
they are summoned they make all
manner OF excuses to get off.
They have Business of importance
on hand, business that requires
their personal attention, and they
can not neglect this without in.

great embarrassmcnts. But bust

There is another movement on
foot 10 remove the postoffice from
its present location to the building

stable and next door west Of A.
Never X Co. understand there
is no general demand for such re-
moval, and IT has been but shor,
time since a hearty protest was
made against moving it from its
present site. The Times believes
that it should remain where il is.
The present site is convenient, the
patrons have become used to it,
and 10 divert their accustomed
habit of going there would cause
great dissatisfaction. Besides, why
should 1t be movedy No conven.
renee nor benefit could accrue
thereby TO the government nor its
officials, nor to any considerable
number of citizens. If the public
convenience would be subserved
by removing the postoffice. or II
there is any good reason for re.
moving it, we would say amen to
it. But there is not, and the pres.
ent location is giving general sat
isfaction. A petition is being cir.
culatcd protesting against its re.
moval, and no doubt il will receive
the signatures of three-four,hs oil

Nothing could be fairer. more philan .
thropc. or carry more JOY to the affi Icted,
than the offer of L. A. Slocum, Nj. c., of
1873 Pearl street. New York City.
Confident that lie has discovered an alb
s0ute cure for consumption and all pull.
monary complaints, and to make its great
merits known. he will send. free, three
bottles OF medicine to any reader of THE
FORREST City TINES who is suffering
from chest, bronchial, throat and lung
troubles or consumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers il his religion
duty-a duty which he owes to human
ity-to donate his infallble cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it..
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to he a durable disease beyond any doubt
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured. in all-parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Ad-
dress 4. A. Siocum. NJ. c., 9s Pine street,

court, and when they go there as
plaintiff or defendant they find
that the jury panel is filled up with
men who are in no way qualified
to render jury duty, and they rail
at the jury system. There is only
one way to improve the juries of
the country, and that is by Undue
ing better class of citizens to
serve. So long as the intelligent
members of society shirk jury
duty, so long will the jury system
be weak. Comm ercial. Appeal.

The attendance at the Normal school
has not been rs large this week as was
reasonably expected. though the work
accomplished has been of very salts
factory character. The teachers have
performed the parts assigned them
promptly and displayed "A satisfactory
knowledge Of the subjects. Much in
telligent reading has been done by the
teachers IN attendance. A very pleas
ant. as well as highly profitable event
OF the week was the lecture. "'l'he
Equipment of the Teacher" delivered
by Rev. l.. II. Simpson. In addition
tn this lecture the teachers were highly
entertained by the reading of AN essay
upon the subject. Music in the Public
Schoo,s." by Miss Alice Rolwage.
principal Of the Department of Music
in the Crowley Ridge Institute. Miss
Alice SAYS that the children ought to
have the benefit of instruction i'm sight
singing. 1t is her intention to accomp-
lish this end for the pupils of our city
school during the next year. The
work is being rounded up for the close,
aud 1t appears that those teachers who
have failed to attend were really en-
titled TO be excused. One of the most
pleasing. entertaining, and profitable
hours work of this week was that de-
voted to the address of Mr.. n. ID. FIzer
upon the subject, The Constitution of
Arkansas" The teachers were highly
ieligted with Mr. Fizer's speech.

The Times is glad to note that
Nj .rshal Wolff has made case
against a peddler. l.. c. Bernays
has been peddling spectacles in
this city "off and on" for months,
perhaps years. He has, no doubt,
sold many pairs of glasses here,
and delivered the goods at the tune
OF sale. He has repeatedly tried to
sell US or members of our family
"a pair of glasses" The idea
that he could evade the law by
claiming 10 "take orders" shows
what desperate tactics must be
employed TO evade just and equit-
able taxes. There are others.
Not long since there were men
here peddling lace curtains, also
on the "order" system. We be-
lieve that all these people who
come peddling, who never stay
long enough TO do road duty, who
pay no taxes, contribute nothing
To our public institutions, get all
they can for as little as they can
and keep il as long as they can,
aud TO the extent of their sales.
divert the legitimate trade of the
merchants of the town who pay
taxes, contribute to the churches.
build and support our public
works, etc.-we repeat, we think
all these people should pay IL
cease, and if not in advance, then
they should be fined Just as Mr..
Bernays was fined. OF course
Mr. Bernays and his optician
feel greatly outraged, and they
will go away from this town with
unkind feelings toward it, and
will, perhaps, try TO do it as much
injury as possible. But sensible
persons will not be Influenced by
their had OPINION of us if they will
relate the cause. The decision of
the jury was just what it should
have been.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Thirty years ago there were only awo
dozen explosive compounds known to
chemists; now there are over 1000.
A colorless ink for use in writing on
postal cards, etc, is made by mixing
together sulphuric acid and water, the
writing becoming permanently visible
when the paper is heated.
There is in the constellation Andro-
media a star visible to the naked eye
which the smallest telescopes show tc

instrument, it is found to be triple.
The hair of rabbits and other ami
mails in Russia is converted into bowls,
dishes, and plates, which are valued for
their strength, durability, and light
ness. The articles have the appearance
of vanished leather.
Herr PuIuj calculates that the oscilla-
tions from a Leyden jar are from 100,
600 to 100000 per second, depending
on its size, but in order that the cleo
trio rays produced thereby should be-
come visible as red light the number of
oscillations would have to be increased
to 400 000,00O 900.
So far, says Flammarion, there have
been discovered about 1l5,000 double
stars, of which the orbits of but 25 have
been calculated. The length of these
orbits varies greatly. One of them takes
but little more than five of our years
to complete its sidereal revolution.
From this the orbits run up to nearly
two centuries.
By novel and ingenious system gold
leaf is now made so thin that 250,000
sheets measure only an inch in thick
ness. Thin sheets of copper are placed
in an eleetrolytic gold-plating solution,
and when gold film has formed upon
them, the copper is dissolved by a
chemical process, leaving the gold
sheets intact.
