Colt Times.
On last Friday night at the splendid and


 , beautiful new school house in the town of Colt, in the presence of one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences that ever gathered at Colt, the public school under the mana cement and super vision of Misses Pearl Davis and Matte Cobb, was brought to close. To give minute and detailed account of this bril- liant affair would require an entire issue of your most valuable paper. Suffice it to say. that the judgment, ability, artis- tic taste. energy and self sacrifice display ed, the formation and decoration of the stage and surrounding objects, and the various. intricate and facinatipg costumes worn by the pupils, was sufficient to con- vince the most skeptical and critical eye that the promoters and directors Of this splendid entertainment were beings of ao mean or ordinary ability. We long to make special mention of those who took part in this beautiful and long to be re- membered drama, but space forbids, and we can only mention It in general way
 
 gram, an equitable distribution Of prizes took place, and resulted in Master Jim Wolf carrying oil the gold Medal. Sever al others were very close seconds, bnt fail- ed to reach the coveted goal. Jim is all unusually bright boy and we predict for him brilliant future. We are indeed highly gratifed to learn that Miss Davis will again take charge of this school about the lSt of July. 1 for one am in favor Of giving her blanket mortgage on school district No 25 to run indefinitely.
 Our merchants have been doing q rush ing business here all winter and Colt is | slowly but surely expanding A free de- livery mail route will go into operation here about the l5 of April. Mail Carrier c. E. Ntnson, says he will have everything ready for business by that date.
 Col L. N. Block has purchased a nice lot adjoining his store on the west, from MT. NJ. E. Williams. This gives Col Block nice lot with loo foot front and ITO feet deep. The Col. says he intends to cover the entire space with building that will cause Forrest City and Wynne to turn green with envy. Go it, Col, Hurrah for your grit and energy.
 We understand that the Central Manu- featuring Co, is contemplating shutting down their mill at this place. We regret this very much as this company has been a great support to the town.
 Williams Bros, comparatively new firm, have commenced what seems to promise successful voyage upon the great sea of commerce. Success to you, gentlemen.
 Honest Joe Davidson is still in the ring and ready for an emergency.
 R. D. England & Son have an up-to- date drug store and are always ready to furnish an antdote fer every human Fl.
 Dr k F. White k fast approaching the top mug Ill the great ladder of fame and success. 50 mote 1t be w. F. Kirby Is still with us aHd continues to supply the fcke public with every thing good for the inner man.
 For some cause unknow to us, the farm CTS are greatly behind with their work. 1t may be that the good Lord has joined the Cotton Growers Association, and intends to take hand in the matter-we hope so.
 We wish that something or somebody would stir this people to action and thought. We notice disposition on the part of some of our fellow townsmen to treat with indifference and ridicule every noble and manly effort to cleanse and purify the moral atmosphere of our com munity. This pouring of cold water on worthy objects and noble efforts is poor way to serve your country. Gentlemen cease your idle talk and lend a helping hand to every noble cause.
