ACCEPTABLE LOSS
Sir Wood, Property of pr. C. S Aldrich and Mr. s. B. Conrad
 Dies Last Week.

Dr. c. :. Aldrich, the popular veter- marian, and his associate, NIT. s. B. Conrad, were receiving the condol- ences of their friends this week over the loss of their handsome iron grey stallion, Sir Wood, which died Thurs day night week ago, after being sick only little over twelve hours, with congestion Of the stomach.
 Sir Wood, 44s22, was one of the handsomest horses ever brought to this city. He was six years old, regis tered, and with a pedigree showing him to be descended from such famous stock as Hazlewood by Nut wood, Milwaukee Boy, Idol by Ham, bletonian, and other noted dams and sires. He was brought here by Dr. Aldrich on June l, 1908, and while here was much admired by all lovers of fine horse flesh.
 He was winner of two prizes at the last Arkansas State Fair, at Hot Springs, and was much admired by all who saw him there, and Dr. Aldrich had many fiattering offers for him while there, all of which were refused.
 Aside from his intrinsic value, Dr. Aldrich was very much attached to the horse. The Doctor had built great hopes on his expectations of what Sir Wood would do in the way of improving the stock in this county, and his loss comes as a heavy blow te him, financially and otherwise.
 He and MT Conrad are receiving the sincere sympathy of their friends in their loss, and it is to be hoped that Sir Wood will be replaced by another animal, and the work begun by him in improving the breed oi stock in this county will be carried on

URGES FINISHING OF LEVEE.

Judge $. H. Mann, Of Forrest City, a well-known lawyer of Eastern Ar kansas, visited the State Land Office to have conference with his old friend. Reuben G. Dye, who halls from the same town Judge Mann says there is no doubt that his section of the State has felt the force of in- creaSlng prosperity, one example of which is the large staye plant soon 10 be in operation there, which will con- vert large quantities of cottonwood and gum timber into Hour and sugar barrels for Northern mllers. He re- ports the recent sale of 30,000 acres of land to C. T. Whitman, of Earle, q large lumber dealer Judge Mann says that settlers are coming in there rapidly now, but a large rush is eX- pected when the leyee has been com pleted. According to engineers, the leyee is about So per cent. completed. When it has been made certain that the levee is to be completed and maintained, we expect to see a large area of our fertile lands taken up. Many prospective settlers are timid about buying now, as they are not yet certain whether we are going to have absolute protection. I wish it to be distinctly understood that 1 am not in politics ore way or another, and have no private interests to serve. but it seems to me that most of our people are in favor of finishing the levee, although they are not agreed as yet in regard to the means of con- structing and financing. Speaking as one man, l believe the levee has made the country, and if it becomes neces- sary to raise tax to maintain the levee, it should be done. have been informed that the lands have been iD- creased in value from 50 cents an acre to s20 in some sections, due in the main to the protection already af forded by the leyee.

THE CENSUS FIGURES.

The report of the director of the census given out last week, and pub lished in Saturday mornings papers gives the population of Forrest City as 2,4si. We don't suppose that the enumerators' figures for any city ever suited that city's people, and We are not making any howl.
 The figures for Marianna show that city to have something over 4,sOC souls within her limits. Now, the postofiice receipts here show large figure above those of Marianna, Wynne or Brinkley, the net receipts being larger than the gross receipts of the latter city. At Marianna the Southwestern Telegraph & Telephone Company at its local exchange works six operators, and has 365 subscribers. Here the same company works eight operators, and has, according to the new directory 300 subscribers. A comparison of the business of the three banks here, and of the various
 
 mercantile and manufacturing con- cerns, railroad receipts, and of the record for building operations, could such be obtained, would undoubtedly show as favorable comparison. In Forrest City there are two recently opened subdivisions, which are not yet embraced in the corporate limits Of the city, and which were not count ed by the enumerators. 2,4S4 is iti Well, we'll have to let it go at that, but everyone of that 2,4S4 lives here and makes living here-and inside of the city limits. But we are not jealous of our sister city's showing and we congratulate them.

In this issue we print city ordin- ance which requires all consumers of city water to put in water meters. This is splendid ordinance, and is the only way to equallze the charges. Under the meter system you pay for just what you use-and waste-and the waste will be brought down to the minimum. The expense of putting in the meter will soon be saved by economical consumers. They will be installed at cost to the city, and the ordinance should be complied " tn cheerfully and gladly.

MT. Ed. Vickers, who lives on the Mosley place, in the edge of Cross county, was in town yesterday and hauled out four-mule team wagon load of imported alfalfa, paying freights and brokers profits, and yet the Mosley farm will produce as fine alfalfa, and as much of it to the acre, as any farm in the country, and with the minimum of labor. Our farmers will never prosper as they should so long as they buy their feedstuffs and devote their whole farm and attention to cotton.

We can all look back ten years and see where we made the mistake of our lives by not buying some of the cheap real estate that was then on the mar ket. We thought the price too high, then. Ten years hence we will see the same thing. There is no better investment, and it will never be worth less than you pay for it. Lands that were worth g. are now worth $l5. Lands now worth 8l5, ten years hence will be worth s25, maybe, s35 Buy and Build is a great motto. and one that will double yoar ducats.

It's a little late 10 mention the fact, but we want to congratulate the Circuit and County Clerks, Mir. Payne and Captain Merwin, respectively, upon the segregation of their offices in the court house and the ample room now afforded each. Messrs. Taylor, Knight & Go. and Attorney W. J. Lanier having vacated the County Judges rooms, and Messrs. Mann, Rollwage & Morrow and the St. Francis County Abstract Company having moved into the same, MT. Payne now occupies the rooms form erly occupied by them, leaving the County Clerks office for the exclusive use of Captain Merwin. This gives both much more room, and while it may not be so pleasant from a social Standpoint as it was before, both are we'll pleased at relieving the crowded condition heretofore existing, and both now have ample room to perform their respective duties without inter fering, and both have arranged their respective offices in very neat, tasty and comfortable style, looking to the convenience of the public and theil friends who have business at the court house. We also wish to con
 graduate Messrs. Mann, Rollwage X Morrow and Mrs. Matthews and Miss Sweet upon the handsome apartments which they now have and are enjoying

] ment of the rice fields in the western portion of our county. The only thing we need is advertising of the resources of our great county.
 Sincerely,
 E.. A. Rolfe, County Judge.
 The development of the country fol- lowing the completion of the levee and the spread of the rice industry were bound to make St. Francis county grow.
 The thing that St. Francis county needs = advertising of resources - should not be hard to get. Organize, raise money for advertising, and put the spending of the money in the hands of a man that knows how to spend an advertising appropriation to the best advantage.-Ark. Gazette.
 That's easy to write, but it takes time to find that man, and when you find him, he is probably not TT. Men who spend advertising appropriations can spend it all right, but weller we usually still need to find some one to do the advertising.
 The Times has probably 1900 or 20o0 copies of souvenir edition-said by every person who ever saw it to be the neatest, most comprehensi ve, exten- siye and meritorious advertising mat ter ever gotten out in town of this size
 If Judge Rolfe is sincere, and we be- lieye he is, we can give him better ad- vice than the Gazette, and our first is to originate, propagate, nurse and nurture, bring to life and cultivate and perfect sentiment in favor of buying these souvenirs and sending them where they will do the most good, and then print here at home other advertising matter, in conye- nient and attractive form, 10 be in- closed in every letter that is written by every citizen, and bundles of them mailed 10 lists Of names which will be furnished gladly and z atuitously by the railroads, and other bundles sent to chambers of commerce, expositionS. chantauquas, conventions and other large gatherings of people from every where who are seeking information and are interested in everything that has merit and solid front and foun- dation.
 We have ourselves sent out hun- dreds of The Times Souvenirs, with out money and without price. We do not advise this with any selfish in- tent. Those who know what we have done will defend us from any unkind charge of a mercenary motive. We ought to be reimbursed for our outlay, but we have been content to forget that feature of it, and it is entirely as disinterested party, and for the ben eht of our county, that we advise the distribution of the Souvenirs It is too elaborate and expensive to send broadcast, but should be distributed carefully and intelligently, and other matter be prepared to be scattered broadcast over the entire country.
 This is the way to advertise St. Francis county, and the only way that you will get value for value for your money.

SENTENCED To JAIL
FOR P|CKET TING.
Heavy Fines Imposed Upon Union
Men," Lack Respect for Courts
and Court Orders"

Denver, July Idleness begets
lawessness," snapped District Judge
Whitford from the bench today when
he sentenced two officials of the United
Mine Workers to Jail for picketing.
At the same time he inflicted heavy
fines on two union men and ordered
them jailed until the fines are paid.
The men fined said they would go to
Jail rather than pay the fines.
The two men jailed for one year
each are Edward Doyle, former
president OF the Miners Union
at Lafayette, and William Crawford,
secretary OF District 13. Whitford,
who has already sent a number Of
miners to Jail for picketing, although
the evidence showed only peaceful
methods were employed, warmly
denounced the union leaders for their
lack OF respect for courts and court
orders. /"
