 neY Payne Is Done to Death.

The fourth Christmas tragedy was noted "Wednesday when news of the killing of Barney Payne by James Powell on the St. Francis river below Madison, near Chas. Appel's place, reached the city.
 On that date Powell and Payne, two young white men of the county who had become infatuated with and were ri- vals for the hand of the same lady, had some hot words in the morning in the heat of which, the two almost came to blows.
 At this time, however, the difficulty was averted, but Payne and Powell came together again in the afternoon, the former armed with a revolver and the latter with rife

 Payne walked briskly up 10 the edge of the bank and peered over as if anxious to make sure that he had put his man "out of business when Powell raised with his rifle and plug ged Payne in the vitals, n.ortally wounding him and, as a result of which, Payne died short time later
 Powell came on to Forrest City and gave himself up to Sheriff Geo. F.. Mallory.
 The general sentiment seems to in- dicate that Powell was justifiable in killing Payne, although the tragic af fair has not yet come up for a pre-, liminary examination.

Result Of Advertising

Russell l-Graham-A lderson Comp ny had a wonderfully large amount of trade during the year 1910, and espe- cially is this true of the last four months, during which time, consider ing conditions, their trade has been phenomenal, winding up on Christmas eve with the distribution of two hun dred dollars in gold, which they gave ly free. This was divided into twenty four prizes. and there was an immense crowd when the distribution began, and veritable crush of eager men, women and children who held tickets.
 This firm has been liberal patron of The Times newspaper, and con- stantly keep their business before the people. This, together with other en- terpfisiug and attractive methods and preparation, with an immense stock. has contributed to their success, and fully demonstrated the value of prin- ter's ink and up-to-date advertising specialties.
 IL had been but a few days previous when they gave prize of & to the best old white fiddler and S5 to the best old colored fiddler. and pair of shears to the wife of each prize win ner, and this feature was notable to the extent of drawing large patronage, creating friendly rivalry, and of bringing to Forrest City many persons from miles and miles around
