Big Engine is Speedy.

Railway men OF all classes are watching
with much interest the tests OF the "I2oo
series" of engines OF the Rock Island road,
he largest running out OF Chicago IN pas
senger service. Engine No. 1901 Was
given its first severe test for power
and speed last week. The patrons of the
Rock Islands first excursion to Colorado
occupied fourteen OF the largest and heavi-
est coaches. This was enough tor two
trains to be pulled by ordinary passenger
engines of the Gay, considering the speed
required. The big engine did all that was
expected of it and more, Between CHI
cago and Rock Island it pulled that train
of fourteen coaches with ease on schedule
time, and when called on for little extra
effort developed speed of over II miles
an hour.
Engines of that class will haul all the
special trains which will be used by the
Rock Island in lis series OF Colorado ex-
curslons, at the rate one tare plus 81 90
for the round trip. Three more excursions
will be given, leaving here July 9, July II
and August I. The departing time of
the special trains will be 4:45 p. m, but
on the dates named excursion tickets will
be honored on all regular trains. The
special trains 10 be used are high class
throughout. Through dining car service
is provided and the run from Chicago 10
Colorado is made with only one night on
the road. Excursion rates viii be made

Base Ball.

The weather has materially hindered
and interfered with the opening of the
base ball season in Forrest City, but
the game yesterday with the Helena
boys which was witnessed by "A large
"oncourse of citizens and visitors from
Helena, Mariana, ana other points,
was recompense for the late opening,
and all enjoyed the game immensely.
Our base ball artist was otherwise
engaged yesterday and this morning,
and The horse editor is not up in base

tempt any criticisms, except that wa
think the score should have been to |
instead Of A to l. because Clarence
Hammond made a throw to first which
gave the visitor home run which he
should have scorned to take under the
circumstances.
1t was a good game and considering
their opportunities for practice our
boys played fine ball.
The next attraction will be game
Monday between the Choctaws and
Consumers. Mr.. Sam Slagle, of Lit

The price OF admission to this game
will be only ten cents.
On the Fourth of July the Choctaws
have game with Cotton Plant. This
will be holly contested and full OF
interest. On July the crack team

Died.,

Homer, the sweet little five-months-old
baby boy of Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Folbre,
fell asleep in Jesus last Sunday night,
and with the weeping mother and father,
surrounded by host OF sorrowing friends
and relatives, we laid its precious little
body in the tomb at o'clock Monday at
ternoon.
1t was sad and heartrending scene to
witness the deep and bitter grief of the
young parents whose forttude was so
sorely tried at this time. Why do we
weep DO we not all realize that God
has plucked the flower for His own
glory? He Who doeth all things wisely
aud well hath claimed His own and in
His Infinite wisdom has transplanted this
bright bud from earthly fields of disap-
pointment and woe into the elysian fields
of Paradise, where it will bloom with ad-
ditonal brilliancy and lustre. Little
domer's going before should point us all,
with strength and eloquence to God and
Heaven, and bring US to more forcible
realization of the fact that before we
may enter His holy presence, we must
come as little children, filed with love,
simply trusting-clinging suppliants for
mercy, TO the Cross.
Monday was dismal day. The ele-
ments seemed to be in sympathy with the
heartaches and bitter feelings of anguish
and sorrow which depressed the congre.
cation at this sad burial.
TIE TINES extends sincere coincidence
and sympathy to the bereaved family and
relatives.

",Tis Not Good to be Alone. ;,

From the very creation God saw
that it was not good for man 10 be
alone, and while the man slept took a
rib from his side and created woman,
and the life of man is not complete an
less he has the care and companion
ship of loving confding woman. More
especially is this want felt when one
is on the down grade of life. and is
left alone by the passing away of his
life companion. None can picture his
utter loneliness, none can estimate his
loss 1, and as time rolls by, the thirst
for love and care aud companionship
becomes more acute. To live thusly
is sinful when there are so many good
women in the world who could fill the
place made vacant.
And thusly reasoned our good old
friend, Jesse b. Hodges, (Uncle Jesse)
OF Yocona, and straightway he sought
and found his affinity in the person of
Mrs. Susan Grant; and on Thursday
at O'Clock in the presence of few
close.friends. at the groom's residence,
Rev. w. II. Paslay bound the two to-
gether in holy matrimony according to
the rites of the Baptist church.
After congratulations the happy
couple left on the $3.50 train at Forrest
City for visit to Washington, Buford
Co., North Carolina.
Their acquaintanceship for many
years tbeing neighbors for a quarter Of
a century or more) is guarantee thai
they know how we'll each is suited L
the other. The groom is well known
by everybody in st. Francis county
He is a well-to-do planter, whose
word is as good as his bond,
The bride is woman of rare goot
sense and domestic accomplishments
and withal possessing the attributes
which will make Uncle Jesse glad O
his choice, aud convince him that ii
is not good for man to be alone.n
THE TINES joins their many friend
in wishing them happy journey down
the troubled sea of life.
