stanzas from Rabbi Ben Ezra.

Grow old along with mel
The best is yet to be.
The last of life for which the first
was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith "A whole, | planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God,
see
All, now be afraid.
Rejoice because we are allied
To that which doth provide
And not partake, effect, and not re-
ceivel
A spark disturbs our elod:
Nearer we hold of God,
Who gives, than of His tribes that
take,
Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness rough
Each sting that bids, nor sit nor
stand, but go,
Be our joys three parts painl'
Strive and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang;
Dare, never grudge the throe.
For thence-a paradox

Monthly market days, which are

wherever tried. lhey
/ ave become special feature OF ad-
yertising in many towns in New
Mpxieo and Texas. The plan is this:
An auctioneer is hired by the mer-
chants and a public auction con-
dneted at which any one can bring
such articles as they wish TO dispose
of and have the services OF the auc-
tioneer free Of charge. These auc-
liens are we'll advertised and the
nenple far and wide come to town
that day with articles for the auc-
ton. After turning these into money
they usually spend the money at the
stores. the result is increased sales
and The merchants of course aft

brings about an eXcahnge oil articles
which is great convenience. puts
more money into circulation. ant

The first week when two little girls

discovered The little ones. She at
once took charge of them, refreshed
them with lunch and cool water,
gave them place to rest, and when
Tho time of leaving came placed
Them on the train in the care OF the

lady, unaccustomed to trains with a
little grandchild, came into the
waiting room to ask for information.

 Ihis will make every subscri0er' 's line in the city metal ic from the in- strument b the switchboard, and will make a material improvement in the service. The office will also come in for its share of tie work. The operating room is to be rearranged: the toll or long distance switchboard will be separated from the local and moved nearer to the office railing, it's present position being reversed This will add to the convenience of both the operator and the general public.
 X new section will be added to the local switchboard, making 1t possible to add operators when necessary.
 In addition to these betterments, the company will overhaul generally the entire exchange.
 Supt. Maas stated that his com pany was not unmindful of the great strides Forrest City is making. It's railroads, natural advantages and pro- gressive citizenship would soon place il in the rank of Arkansas most pro- gressiVe and important cities.
 He thought the telephone com pany would make many important improvements in Arkansas this year. in fact 1t is very probable that the appropriations for this state will be more liberal than ever before and even greater, perhaps. than in the other part of the s N T. X T. Co. 's territory, Texas.

Put aside strife. politics, personal differences, etc. Pull to- gether for the good of everybody and everything Try it and see what will happen.
 This is matter of grave conce n in Forrest City. IL is matter that The Times has mentioned and de- plored many times, and is doing all it can 10 overcome. The best interests ofsevery citizen demands that We al pull togethe. for everything that vii help the city.
