Ihe young 1 lady visited Forrest City in preference l to Memphis. making our little town 1 first choice over the Bluff City, and l her charm of manner and easy grace warmed the hearts of many of our l boys and girls and she was the recip- | ient of many happy attentions. Miss 1 COnnefrY is the day operator at the telephone exchange in Helena. and is l truly d lady of rare beauty. We sim | ceTely hope her visits to this city will
 be more frequent in the future.
 The many turkey hunters who have returned empty handed, verities the opinion of an old hunter that luck is l attendant on him who lets the turkeys ''do the hunting" In further evidence | of this assertion, d little incident hap pened to Newman LaughinghouSe last week which should convince the ito, ters' of guns and turkey calls. New man was in the Otter Pond bottoms and had worn out his legs and eXhaus- ted hls breath in the vain hope of find | ing a turkey. and had stretched him self alongside of a tree to take rest. l He had closed his eyes for a moment. when rushing sound awcke him. and i he threw up his arms just m time To embrace big gobbler, which had just left his perch, and who was evidently looking for hunter. Newman has a turkey call for sale cheap.
 Constable Sam Swan, of Johnson township, was in the city Tuesday on l business. and to place in custody negro whom he had arrested for lar ceny. While bere Mir. Swan had the misfortune to lose d fine, nickle- plated 1 Colt pistol. and was much distressed 1 when we met him, so much so, in fact, that he gave Us a description of the weapon for an advertisement, and In- structed US to offer five dollars reward
 for the recovery of the revolver. In a short while. however, he came back and smilingly informed us that we might omit the publication of the mo- tice, as Milleuder, our pnpular uray- man. had found he pistol aud returned ' it to him. Moral: When you lose 1 anything there is even efficacy in tell { ing TIMES man to advertise for il. i If you are not so fortunate as Mir
 Swan and find the missing article be-
 fore the advertisement appears, you are sure to get good results when the paper is circulated.
