On A Cash Basis.

To my many patrons and friends of
 Forrest City;
 In extending you hearty New Year greeting, and sincerely thanking you for your liberal patronage, l wish to extend to all cordial invitation tC visit me in my new quarters on South Front Street, next door west of Hatchers livery stable, where l will continue business, and will try at all times to serve you with the very best meats, etc, that the market affords. In making this move, 1 did what l thought was for the best interest of the general public as well as myself, and l have established the following rules, under which 1 intend conduct ing my business in the future. On and after February 1st, 1907, my busi- ness will be conducted on an exclusive ly cash basis, and in order that all of my patrons may share in the benefits of this rule, propose to sell $l0 mer- chandise books for 5000: 8. 00 books for s4 60, and 800 books for Sl.9O. Lower than that there will be no dis count.
 l hope this will meet the approval of all my patrons. for it IS positively the only way will continue business. We are in way handicapped in this branch of our business from the fact that We carry accounts through the summer season when the expenses of our business are such that We can hardly meet them, When fall and winter, which is practically the only profitable season in this section of the country, arrives, we are again handicapped by having so many new competitors, in the way of peddlers.
 l want to especially thank the hotel and restaurant trade for their prompt settlement for each days business, and will be glad to continue to serve them under the same rule.
 Again thanking one and all for past favors, and hoping to merit your patronage i'll the future, I am,
 Gratefully yours. L. R. GROBNYFR

Anent Judge Folbres refusal to grant license to sell liquor at Heth- We could not endorse the licensing of saloons in country districts that are without police protection, and we certainly think that all blind tigers and boot leggers should be put out of business. but of the two evils, were it necessary, we would choose the first. We also think that all licensed saloons should observe the Sabbath faithfully, and keep their places oi business closed tight and fast on the Lords day.

Cargill Davis.

NIT. John Cargill, genial and popular salesman with Becker & Lewis, was happily married on Saturday night to Miss Anna Eliza Davis, beautiful and charming daughter of MT and Mrs John NJ. Davis, of this city, Rev. B. L. Milford of the Methodist church officiating.
 The lovely bride was gowned in a very becoming traveliug suit of gray. and was the picture of happiness.
 The wedding was announced to take place at the home of the brides par ents, on Wednesday of this week, and elaborate preparations were in pro gress by the home folks to make the occasion one long to be remembered. But Cupid plays many pranks, and the high contracting parties happen ing to meet at the home of MT. and Mrs. Homer Folbre on Saturday even ing, they concluded that t Il e time was too long to wait, and on the impulse of the moment, sent for the minister, and had the knot tied good and fast at o'clock that same night.
 MT. and Mrs. Cargill have rented the Belser cottage, recently vacated by MT. and Mrs. R. F. Sellers. and have gone to housekeeping. They are very cozily fixed, and are just as happy as can be.
 The Times desires to assure them of its sincere pleasure in their mar riage, and to wish them joy and pros perity in their new relation.

A letter from Senator DeRositt conveys the gratifying news that everything is moving along so far to his entire satisfaction, and that the Lords people are ruling the action of the senate. We predict that our friend DeRositt will make good in his new role, and you can bet your last dollar on his integrity and honesty of purpose. We have never heard him express himself on the proposed tax on cotton for levee purposes, but we will wager dime to doughnut that he will be found on the side of the people, fighting this iniquitous meas ure with his whole mind, body and soul

To my friends, patrons, and the pub- lie generally:
 l desire by this method to deny the rumor that l am about 10 remove from this city, My relations in For rest City are too pleasant 10 entertain such thought, and also desire to ex- tend my thanks to my patrons for their very liberal patronage the past year, and ask for d continuance of the same. The fumor that l am about to remove, originated in the fact that am about to engage in business in Marianna. My business here will be continued just the same as heretofore.

This new constitution talk is bO b. ping up again, as it does every now and then. It is our humble opinion that most of this smoke comes from the agitation by political grafters, who would like to get their hands a little deeper into the public treasury. Of course there are many honest and conscientious gentleman who favor a new constitution, but they are the exception, and are not making them selves obstreperous nor shouting themselves hoarse on account of the defects of the states organic law The constitution of Arkansas may need many amendments, but taken as whole it is doubtful if a better one would be made by convention at this time when political graft Is running rampant.

Harmonious Relations.

The Marquis del Grille, the first hus-
band of the great Italian actress, His
tori, had as personal Wallets only the most
quick-witted young fellows who could
help him in the practical jokes in which
his eccentric soul delighted. In one in
stance says writer in the New York
Times, the marquis was sitting alta piano
trying some church music, when a new
applicant was ushered in. He did not
stop playing, or even glance round but
began TO ask questions. The answers
evidently did not appeal to him, for he
suddenly struck a loud chord and. fol
lowing the tune of the music, ehanted
in heavy voice:
You will not do for me"
Then he rose, and without q look at
the man started TO. walk out of the room.
The applicant quickly stepped to the
piano, and striking the keys with both
fists, chanted back solemnly in the same
air: I'm very glad of ii, because l don't
like you a bitr'
Any one else would have had the man
thrown out for his impudenee, but the
marquis paused at the door and smiled
approvingly. Il guess we shall get on
nicely after all" he said. pleasantly
