At a Standstill as Yet.

Another day has gone by without
any decision being reached by the
county commissioners on the compro-
mise proposition made them by the
o. r. & N. company. Although all
three members of the court were in
town today, no meeting had been
held up to 3 O'Clock. In speaking of
the matter one of the commissioners
said last evening that they might not
reach any conclusion for some time
yet, as they wished to go more thor
oughly into the legal aspect OF the
case before coming to conclusion.

What is Man?

Man, man! What is man? The echo answers back from our empty corridors of time "What."
 "Man IS born of woman" That Is not hls fault--he was not consul. ted about the matter. He lives but a few days and is full of trouble and beer. Being born of woman trouble ia natural consequence. He springeth up like a flower and IS harrassed and besieged by the opposite sex until he IS so bumfuzx. led that he knoweth not where to lay his head. Hts meanderings cover the earth, but he IS chiefly found where there is woman. He walketh out in the morning of life full of hope and ambition and returneth in the twilight of old age with his hide full of booze.
 He is leaf on the tree of time. a sport of the winds of adversity- he IS also the sport of other sports; he is full of grunts and gruntlets, a confidence man in disguise and ought to be arrested. He is mix. ture of conglomerance of the earth, and truth abideth not in him, nor any other man. Man cometh up in the morning. So he doth. That's the trouble with man--he cometh up Tn the morning too often. Let him come up in the evening occasi- onally that his nights may be long. CT and less full of trouble. He fingers late in the halls of folly, meath the chandeliers of dissipa. tion where the clink of com mak eth his blood like unto wine as he gazeth on the festive jackpot; he runneth three fair.faced queens up against three knightly kings and verify he doeth get his leg pulled
 He meandereth home in the morning jaded and jagged, and the wheelbarrow rlseth up in the road and smiteth him several consecu. tive smites, and his own dog doth chase him up telephone pole where he lingereth till the roseate dawn and the cold gentle zephyrs toy with his whiskers
 Man! Truly thou art an unhap. py cuss--thy days are a group of nightmares and thy nights are made hideous by the caterwaul of the Thomas cat flirting with his Maria in the alley, and thy spouse putteth her icy feet in the tender portions of thy back filling thee with indignation and cuss words. -Exchange.

Fake Advertising.

Country merchants everywhere realize the baneful influence ofthe mail order house and the damage they do local trade. The average merchant feels q sort of plying contempt for the person who is so gullible as 10 send to Chicago and pay s2.99 for an article he could have bought at home for S2 50, and the merchant is right about it. They really feel sorry for persons who do not know better. The merchants are amply justified Tn feeling the way they do.
 No good citizens ought to send away from home for an article that can be bought at home, and most good citizens would rather pay a little bit more than to take the money out of local circulation.
 But nobody ever has to pay a premium for patronizing home.
 The home merchant sells just as cheap as the catalogue houses and nine times out of ten his article is best. But the home merchants are themselves frequently gulled. The particular species of gulling we have Tn mind just now and to which the average merchants fall easy victims, is the advertising fakers.
 One of these lazy hulks will strike town with an advertising scheme of some kinda hotel di. rectory on a card, a time table with advertisements, or an array Of cards to hang up at the conrt house or postoffice and they generally catch enough suckers to make the scheme go.
 The Advocate has printed these sort ot things for the fakers and got good pay for it, and the stufl is still in the office-undelivered,

Cheapest Rates to Colorado Eve,
 Known.

In view of the intense interest Tn ColoradO's attractions this sea. son, and the rather extraordinary demands for cheap rate excur. sion for the benefit of vacationists, the Fort Worth & Denver City and Houston X Texas Central Roads have announced a rate from all Texas points to Pueblo, Colo. rado Springs and Denver and re. turn, of but three.fourths of one fare for the round trip; tickets to be on sale July 9th and 10th, with limit of 60 days, and to be good for stop-over privileges at all points between Trinidad and Denver, in either or both d.. rections.
 This is really an extraordinary arrangement and one which will at once appeal to hundreds who could not visit that most interesting sec. tion under the higher rates ordi. narily effective.
 Anticipating an appreciation of the conditions related, it is under. stood the llnes mentioned will have occasion to add considerable extra equipment to their trains of the 9th and 10th, including tourist sleeper, and that arrangements to that end are perfected.
 Rato from Houston will be $24.l5; from Fort Worth $500. and from all other points cor. respondingly low.
 Tourist Sleeper Rates from Fort Worth will be $2.50 per double berth, which may be used by two persons without extra cost.

Mir. ROlfe Wins.

In the case of the c. o. X G. By. vs E. A. Rolfe, on appeal to the Supreme court, Mir. Chef Justice Hill delivered the following opin- ion last Saturday.
 Rolfe was engaged in cutting and shipping logs and had a large quantity of them at Widener, a station near Edmonson. Rolfe de- sired to enter contract to sell these logs, but did not do so until he had received assurance from the general manager and the traffic manager of the railroad that cars would be promptly placed for him upon which he could load the logs. He not only received this assurance, but for several months went often to the station agent at Edmonson and demanded the cars as promls- ed. The cars were not supplied promptly and the logs were per mltted to lay out for several months for this reason. He sued and recovered judgment for the loss in deterioration of the logs, and also recovered special damages Tor being compelled to . keep his teams there for an unnecessary length of time.
 The court held that Rolfe WAS en. e'ied to rely upon the promises made to him by the off cers of the railroad company, and in addition mat he had notified the company legally many times to furnish the cars, and affirmed the judgment.

undisplayed and doing no more good as an advertising medium than If 1t were at the bottom of & well. At best the faker hangs up a lew of the cards and skips town as soon as he gets the money in his Jeans. The merchant who bites at this sort of scheme is infinitely more stupid than the man who pat. ronlzes the mail order houses, for the man sending away for goods does get something in return, while merchants get nothing at all and at the same time encourage good for'nothing fellow in traipsing about the country making living by his sharp practice. .* < -Tri-County Advocate.
 The merchant ought to know that the local printers are much more competent to get up and issue such advertising matter than these itinerant buns, and that if the need was great they would not neglect the opportunity to make few ex. tra dollars in that way.
 But speaking of buying away from home. The merchant, him. self,in many instances, sets the de. piorable example by sending abroad for printing, and other things which he can secure at home and several of the big corporations in Forrest City send away for most of their printing. There are some exceptions of course. All this printing should be done here, thus making it possible to employ more and better skilled men, and giving the town a greater prestige abroad. The same is true in other lines.
 Let us then ALL patronize home people and home enterprises, and build up Forrest City by keep. ing the money in circulation here at home.

We Apologise to Caldwell.
I- E E Carv a,d r;eo

Mir. F. F.. Cary and wife. and Mir. K. l.. CogbiII. of Wynne. were registered at the Marion Saturday evening. They were enroute home from Little Rock.-Forrest City Times.
 Home from Little Rock, eh? They were enroute home from Caldwell, and on that visit there hangs warm story. It will be remembered that on that particular evening the sun scored one. It poured forth heat from the heavens with such intense force it would melt the nails on the ice house. Mir. and Mrs. Carey and Eugene Cogbill started to Marianna soon after noon on a railroad motor. car. They left town at a speed of fifteen or twenty miles an hour and the car acted nicely until It passed Caldwell when Mir. Cary says it "saw something" All of sudden the thing buckei, sputter few times and baked like Missouri mule. Screws were frightened, bat. teries inspected and other opera tlons performed on the car, but still it wouldn't do a thing. It seemed that one cylinder wanted to continue the trip and the other had got home-sick and there was no possible way to get them to- gether. Every time the operators got too close to the working apara. tus the thing would sputtered and spew as if the tank of gasoline would blow up, and they soon learned to let it alone. Then there was nothing to be done but walk and push the heavy car to Forrest City-four miles-through the hot. test sun of the season. The car only took one other notion 10 do any speeding and tha. was while MT. Cary was sitting on the rear seat pushing along with his feet against the ground. All of sud. den it jerked itself together and started craw-fshing on a back track and had run a hundred yards before Mir. Cary could recover him. self sufficiently to apply the brake. It was all over; it wouldn't do it again. They walked into Forrest City in time to catch a train home and until yet sizzling noise and the smell of gasoline will almost throw the trainmaster or his clerk into epileptics.--Wynne Blade Democrat.
