SCHOOL ELECTION.

The Mayors Election Proclama- ton for the Speci al School District ot Forrest City-No. :, appears in thIs issue
 Four directors are to be elected. vice Mir. l.. Rollwage and Capt. J. w. Beck, deceased, and Mr. s. H. Mann and Mir. J. T. Fondren. whose terms expire.
 Mir. Mann and Mr. Fondren should be reelected by all means, as they have the best interests of the school closely and sincerely at heart. They have served in this trying and seemingly thankess capacity faithfully, and with that business foresight and sterling in tegrlty which has always charac. terlzed their other public and prl- Vate acts.
 For the other two we suggest, without thelr knowledge or con- sent, however, Hon. Otto B. Roll wage and Judge N. W. Norton, though in doing so, We hope no person will be so unkind as to at tribute to us any other than the highest motives in the interest ot the children.
 These gentlemen have the high est esteem and confidence of every citizen in this community so far as we have ever heard, and their splendid intelligence, their success. tui management of their own affairs, their enterprising nature, thelr love and care for the welfare of the children, their well known business sagacity, and high stand ing Tn the community makes them pre-eminent for the vacancies made by the death of our beloved friends MT Louis RoIlwage and Capt. J.. w. Beck.
 It IS possible and probable that one or both of these gentlemen would refuse to allow thelr names to go on the ticket unless it seemed Ia be the unanimous wish of the patrons of the school, in which case, we believe they would sacrifice their personal wishes for the good of the community.
 There are many other good and true men Tn the district who. II elected, would no doubt give the business of the schools their best thought and talent, among whom We mention few whose names oc. eur to us without any special ef fort, viz: Mr. G. B. Pcttus, Hon. J. Il. Tipton, Mr. Ellis Turley, Hon, Walter German, Capt. T. c. Merwin, Mr. Geo. B. Mallory, Dr. J, o. Rush, Dr. L. H. Merritt, MT. J. D. Bangh, Mr. Sol Lewis, Mr. \. B. Nelson, MT. E. \ RoIfe, Mr. Geo. Walker, Mr. J. Nj. Nichols, Mr. J. T. Johnson, Elder W. H.. Paslay, Judge B. D. Hatcher, Jud ge I. c. Folbre, Mr. 4. L. Stevens, and many othevs too numerous to men. ton, any two of whom would serve the patrons intelligently, faithfully and with honor 10 themselves and

We hope the patrons will think upon the welfare of the schools an d elect four men, who, together with Judge Gatling and Capt. James Russell, composing the other mem bers of the board, will put Crow. ley Ridge Institute upon q solid and lasting basis as one of the lead ing educational institutions of the State.

In reply to query as to whether the

attributable to different explosions, Mr..
Villiers writes that they are mainly due
to the churning up Of the various colored

The man who could best account for the
purple is doubtless DR.. Shimose, the famous

years In producing the explosive which
now is known by his name.
