\ Delightful Service.

The Presbyterian church was com congregation Sunday night in re- sponse to the announcement Of Song Ser vice, and they were we'll repaid for going out in the inclement night.
 Rev. Geo. II. kirker, pastor in charge, read the lesson, and delivered a brief but eloquent sermon which was very much enjoyed by his bear CTS, and the invocation was from Rev. W. NJ. Farley, a holiday visitor from Fayetteville, North Carolina.
 The programme of music was a rare treat, indeed, and was listened to with wrapt attention, and thorough ly enjoyed and appreciated by the large congregation.
 An appropriate voluntary was first rendered by the choir, after which a beautiful hymn was sung. After the invocation Miss Virginia Norton sang solo which thrilled her hearers and won for her many encomiums. She is studying voice in Memphis, and her solo gave her splendid range and de- monstrated high cultivation.
 MT. John Schlosser followed with a bass solo, in his usual pleasing man. ner, and after the Scripture reading, and Chorus by the Choir, an organ voluntary by Mrs. Geo. W. Wright, was played and very much enjoyed.
 A Duet by Messrs. F.. l. and John Schlosser, and Tener solo by the former, was treat, as was also a beautiful solo by Mrs. Kirker, who was in splendid voice, and who sang in most pleasing manner.
 Tine service closed with hymn and the benediction. and all returned to their homes feeling that it was good 10 have been there, and that they had enjoyed the splendid music and service to the utmost.

THE PIANO CONTEST
Closes in a Burst of Inter- est, and Friends of Two Leading Contestants
 Get Busy.
THELnA BOTTOMS WINS PIANO
Receives 25.l60,49s. Annie May Delano. Close Second, With
 21.556.563 Votes.

The handsome piano offered by the Forrest City Furniture Company, and on which votes were issued also by The Forrest City Times, was voted to little Miss Thelma Bottoms, on last Thursday night, and 1t was certainly beautiful Christmas present.
 The contest was begun in August, with ll6 nominations, and several others were added, but only Is be- came interested and made any effort to secure votes. Of these l6 only two remained at the close, though Miss Gatnet Miller received over two million votes, and Miss iobie Nc Crary received nearly two million votes, and several other girls received nearly million each.
 The contest closed Saturday. Dec ember g. On Thursday, the day The Times was issued, the leaders had each something over eight mill lion votes, and the contest then really begun in earnest, the relatives and several friends of the contestants getting into the race in earnest.
 The Furniture Company had a bulletin board on which the standin ing of the contestants was published
  first one then the other was shown to be in the lead. After supper a big crowd of enthusiastic friends and relatives gathered at the store, and voting was spirited indeed. The Times issued nearly million votes at T30 o'clock. just one hour before the close, which were voted for Annie Mae Delano, and considerable num- hpr alSn iCcnn6 that a1 for Thelma. Coupon Books sold at the Furniture Company's store, like hot cakes, 200 Books being sold at one time, and probably this won the piano.
 The Furniture Company enjoyed d very good trade as result of their enterprise, collected accounts that had been slow, and sold a world of coupon books redeemable i'll Mer- chandise in the future.
 The Times received quite d g0odly number of new subscribers. collected several accounts that had been in arrears for some time, and received a great number Of renewals from our best customers. and issued hundreds of thousands of votes on merchandise sold in the Newsstand.
 So far as We have learned or heard. everybody is satisfied that the eon- test was conducted on the highest plane of integrity. and it certainly was, and that the piano was fairly and honorably won by the friends of the winner.
 Taken altogether in was very pleasant and profitable contest, and we congratulate all concerned upon it's happy issue, at the same time being sorry that someone had to be disappointed, and wishing that they could also have won piano.
 The Furniture Company presented Miss Delano a handsome quarter sawed Oak Dressing Table, as d slight token of their appreciation of her work for them, and which she says she appreciates as much as If she had received the piano.

T. C. FOLBRE FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

It is with considerable p easure that we direct attention of The Times readers to the official authorized an nouncement of Judge T. C. Folbre, of Madison township, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the office of Judge of the County and Pro bate Courts of St Francis County.
 Judge Folbre has been resident of St. Francis county for sixty years, and has been all active worker in the ranks of the democratic hosts since he at tained his majority, giving his time and spending his money freely for the success of the party'S nominees and his friends, and never tiring in his efforts for party success, giorying i'll it's victory and redoubing his efforts if defeated, never being discouraged, but rising Phoenix like ana pursuing the enemy relentlessly until victory perched upon his banner, and without hope of reward.
 A few years ago, when the party was struggling against adyersities and the county's finances were in bad shape, he entered the race for this same office, and was nominated and elected by a large majority. He held the office for six years, and admins tered the county affairs in abaSinesS like, economical and splendid manner. t~t lapl tgu deeply in debt and it's scrip appreciated 10 50c on the dollar, and rapidly restoring it within two years 10 par, besides paying off the outstand- ing debt of about SIS 000. In the last term of his reign he built the great iron bridge across the St Francis river and four other smaller ones west of town, and two others approaching the bridge at Palestine, and made the cash payment of Sa000 on same.
 By heroic efforts and sheer deter imitation he saved 10 the taxpayers of this county thousands of dollars by his able plans of tinanciering and bringing the value of scrip up to par. because when scrip is depreciated lam- Der, food and everything required by the county administration immedi- ately rises in price even more than the scrip depreciates.
 The iron bridge at Madison and bridges in other places. and his tinan- cling of the county, are monuments which speak his praises louder than words, and il Is pleasure to Us 10 give him credit for his wise, eonserga- tive and enterprising administration, and we have frequently referred to his official acts in highest terms of praise, because it was due him and he deserved it.
 He also built two great leyees ap- preaching the iron bridge across L'Angullle river, and another from L'Anguille township and Palestine.
 He redeemed eight Of the railroad bonds of sl 900 each, held by Julius , Lesser, and by paying small prem ium. saved this county s7,000 or more
The Forrest City times., 1911-12-29

in interest. He succeeded in buying some old bonds for Sl07. which he ad- yanced to the county out Of his own means, which the county might have been forced to pay, and for all his trips to Little Rock and Memphis on county business he paid his own ex- penses and never charged the county cent. In raising the price of scrip from 50c, first 10 Soc, then tn sI 12c, and finally to 97 1-2c, when the c0un- ty had no money i'll the treasury, lie had Sl5,000 of family money on de
 posit in the bank. and by pledgiBg thi-, was given permission to make the price of scrip, and did so, and guaranteed It, even in the face of ad
 vice from friends to the contrary.
 If nominated this time and elected, he will bring to bear upon the business of the office those same wise, conser- yatiye and business like methods that have heretofore characterized his ad- ministration of the county's affairs.
 Judge Folbre desires us to state that he greatly regrets that he will not be able to make a close canvass like he has done heretofore, but that when the candidates for the legisla- ture stump the county that he will be with them and will state his posi- tion on Good Roads, Finances and other subjects of vital importance to the people, and pertaining to the office he seeks, and will try to see as many voters personally as possible: but if he does not see you personal ly, he desires us to say to you that he will certainly appreciate your vote and support the same as heretofore, and if you honor hinf with election he will serve you faithfully as in the past, and to the best of his ability. He has entered this race at the earnest solicitation of many friends, and after careful thought and con- sideration, and says he is in to win.
 Judge Folbre is too well known to require any biographical sketch or in- troductory remarks from us, By req son of his experience in the office in the past he is pre-eminently quail fled to fill the position in the future, and We bespeak for him the kindly and favorable consideration of his claims upon your suffrage to which his laudable ambition and past ser vice entitle him.

TAFT'S AID TO
ELK CARNIVAL

There was a specially brilliant ball
at the White House on the evening
of Washington's birthday, and II was
during this entertainment, shortly
after midnight, that President Taft
touched a button to open the Elks'
Carnival here. The following Asso-
ciated Press dispatch appeared in
various Mainland papers:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The
White House was the scene of the
most brilliant reception of the sea
son, that TO the army and navy. Fol
lowing the reception the guests
danced. Immediately after IL o'clock
President Taft opened the Elks' festi-
val at Honolulu by pressing a button
which directly connected the White
House by telegraph and cable with

THE COLD AND WARM WATERS
OF THE SEA.

The specific gravity of sea water
denends on both salinity and temper
allure. Any bulk of cold water is
heavier than an equal bulk of warm
water; hence when the salter water
of the tropics is borne toward the
poles and cooled, it sinks toward the
bottom and flows slowly as a deep cur
rent toward the equator, where 1t is
again drawn slowly to the surface TO
supply the place of the warm waters
which are carried poleward by the
prevailing winds and ocean currents
Of the globe. The direction of these
currents is modified by the rotation of
the earth. the distribution of the land
and other causes.
The atmospheric gases-oxygen and
nitrogen-are absorbed at the sea sur
face, more abundantly in cold than in
warm ATTITUDES; hence these gases are
carried down to the greatest depths in
the general water circulation of the
open ocean. The oxygen is used by
the enormous number of marine ami
mails, and consequently diminishes in
quantity as it is carried down from
the surface and over the bottom, but
the quantity of nitrogen remains con-
slant. In the open ocean there is
usually abundance of oxygen even at
the greatest depth, but this is not the
case in partially enclosed seas which
are more or less cut off by barriers;
and in the deeper layers vertical circu-
lation IS restricted. An extreme ex
ample is the Black Sea, where in deer
water sulphuretted hydrogen is abun
dant, and life, with the exception OF
bacteria, is absent. 1t has been found
that these submarine barriers also de-
termine the temperature of the water
in the deeper layers of partially en-
closed seas like the Mediterranean, the
Red Sea, and the Sulu Sea. All the
water below the level of the summit
of the barrier or sill has a constant
temperature; for instance, the Medi-
terranean has a temperature of 55 de-
grees Fair. from a depth of 1870
fathoms (the level of the barrier) to
the bottom, whereas the temperature
in the open Atlantic outside the Strait
falls gradually from the surface to the
bottom, where the lowest temperature
is met with. Similarly in the Red Sea
the temperature is constant at 20 de
gree Fair. from a depth of 2O(
fathoms (the level of the barrier a
the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb) to the
bottom.-Sir John Murray, in Harper'i
Magazine for March.
