Alma City, Jnne 16-Death's call. On
Tuesday, June H. the home of E. S. Will
son was visited by the angel of death, when
Mrs. Ann Eliza Wilson was called from
this world below to the celestial world
above, where there will be no more part
ing, sorrow or death, but everlasting life,
full of peace and JOY nnspeakable and full
of glory.
While we most deeply mourn her loss,
we must be reconciled to the will of God,
the all-wise Father, who doeth all things
we'll, and whose wisdom we have no right
to question. Mrs. Wilson was a kind and
loving wife and mother, whose whole life
was spent for her children, never com
planning. although she has been patient
sufferer for fifteen years. Last Septem-
Der she was taken with a severe attack Of
pneumonia, from which she never recov-
cred, and finally caused her DEATH
Mrs. Hatzman Wilson, was born in
Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. Fl, 1916. She
leaves husband and four children, also a
mother, two sisters and one brother, to
mourn her loss. Two sous have passed
over the river of death before her.
The funeral was held Wednesday. p.
m. at her home in Medo, and her remains
laid to rest in the cemetery, Miss Edith
Gates performing the last sad rites.

The Duluth Herald feels badly because
the Free Press called attention to the fact
that the Republican party is the only party
that issin the habit of redeeming its
pledges, and that it has fulfilled the pledges
it made to the country at st. Louis four
wears ago. The Herald delivers itself of a
very labored article to the extent of about
a column in its endeavor to show that this
is not so, That of all the pledges made,
it claims the,l Republicans have only re-
deemed Tone, sand that only partially.
When a paper gets in as hard row OF
stumps as the Herald is on that subject,
there is no use arguing the point. When
a paper can stand up and declare the Re-
publicans, have not redeemed single
pledge made in 1896, with single excep-
ton. it has no use for facts and deals only
in gross Misrepresentation. The fact,
however, remain facts just the same, and
speaksIfor themselves most plainly despite
the Herald.

Whs alley Visited.

The first of number of contemplated visits to outlying towns of this county in the interest Of what we hope to make the most elaborate and practical. pret- tiest and most attractive descriptive write.up of St. Francis county, which has ever been attempted, was made by our Messrs. Fadakin and IzaId, Mon. day and Tuesday to Wheatley.
 The courtesy and hospitality of the citizens. the cordial support extended the enterprise, the special favors shown us by the ladies, (who must always be represented in great works,) is an evi- dence to us that our efforts are ap- preciated, which makes us sanguine of success, and the Wheatley department will be especially attractive.
 The work of compiling the descrip- tive write-up of the town and surround ing country was left in the hands of three of the brightest and most intel ligent of Wheatley's citizens, and the article will be attractively illustrated by at least ten portraits of prominent citizens, buildings, etc, that number having signiiied their enterprise, and endorsement of the project, by giving us their orders.
 There are others in Wheatley who will think the matter over, and several we could not see, and as we ought to have at least twenty pictures from that thriving town, we believe we will get them. The fact is. no enterprising citizen of Wheatley, who has the we'll fare and advancement of the town at heart, can afford to stay out of the de- scriptive book.
 The country adjacent to Wheatley is as fine for cattle raising and grazing as there is in the world. and many per. sons are already pro6tably engaged in thls enterprise, and ranches are being established. Its farming resources, too, arc boundless, and there is no community which extends better op- portunities to the farmer and home seeker.
 Energy and enterprise, life, liberali- ty, and push, are the business elements necessary to bring this beautiful and prolific locality to the front, and TIIK TIMES, anxious to be foremost in pre- senting its advantages to the world |, now offers it grand opportunity to advertise itself.
 We are much gratifed with the sue cess of our visit to Wheatley and we wish to thank all those good citizens to whom ws are obligated for courtesies. favors, kindnesses, and orders, and will gladly embrace any opportunity to reciprocate.

IL has been suggested that the town of Forrest City should no, dispose of tho lot on Rosser street where stands the ruins of the city
 hall, because it IS rapidly increas- ing in value, and that for five hun dred dollars the ruins can be re. paired so that the building can be rented for twenty-five dollars per month. The idea was suggested
 by published report sho wing that u certain town in ono of the East. crn States pays the entire expense of city government from it's income on property owned, and there is no tax levied upon its citizons. Twenty-Five dollars per month will pay many of the smaller expenses of the city, and we rather think it u good suggestion that the city Keep this property. We favor this, however, only with the under. standing that it will in no way in. terfero with the early building of a handsome, modern, convenient and up-to.datc city hall and jail.

Resurrection Horn.

A gentle rain the night previous made all nature smile Easter morn, and everything WAS typical of the res urrection-the happy faces, ths bud ding forests, the velyety sward, the beautiful flowers, the happy songs of birds, all bore the stamp of new life.
 The several churches held services, but it was left to the Divine Sabbath school to celebrate the Eastertide. At eleven o'clock some fifteen or twen
 ty little ones gathered at the home of the superintendent, Mrs. o. B. Roll wage to indulge in music and an egg hunt. As the roll was called each lit
 tie one responded to his or her name with quotation, such as God is Love-" "Do some good each passing hour, " " Teach me to live, etc. A program of song, prayer and responses was prepared, and then Mrs. Kollwage in a few Gell-chossn sentences ex
 plained to the children why Easter was celebrated. As the voices of the little ones, blended with the charming ac. compartment of the piano by hits Pearl Anderson, rang putin the morn ipg air their praises to God, it was in. deed fitting tribute to the new life the little ones had entered into. After the Lords prayer, the children formed in procession and repaired to the spa cious lawn, adjoining the house, and scattered right and left in the search of hidden eggs. Every nook and cor ner of tho lawn was seafched in a short space of time, and soon pile Of brightly colcred eggs gracedthe green, and "fair divide was made.

There isn't any doubt about the fact that there is 8 very strong sentiment in Forrest City against tho town hog. It is only ques. lion of time, sooner or later his hoeship will Do excluded from the privileges of the public thorough. fares. The Village Improvement committee of the Cosmos club,
 perhaps, will soon take up tho matter with the town council, and by petition try to induce that body to abolish this awful nuisance.
