Forrest City Lady Receives sum oi Money in Payment ofan Old Debt
 Long Forgotten.

Mrs. J D. Mcknight, of this city received Tuesday the following iettel which was inclosed in plain en vet0pe. which also contained the sun Of sl50 in greenbacks.
 This Sl50 l owe Dr. Mcknight now I am able to pay 1t. and now will pay it to you. My home is here in Forrest City, and l will be glad fol you to mention this in the paper sC that I will know that you get the money. l have owed this so long hate to come and give the money tC you. will take it that you won't charge me interest.
 The envelope bore the p0stmark of the Memphis and McAlister R. P. O, and the letter and the address was typewriter and unsigned.
 Mrs. Mcknight has no idea who might have sent the money, but il is evidently from some one who either borrowed the money or in some way became indebted to her late husband, Dr. J. b. Mcknight, who died in January, lg05, just he was entering upon his second term as sheriff Of this county.

A WORD OF ASSURANCE
To the Taxpayers and Voters of the
 St. Francis LeFee District.

We are not indicting this message
 in factional spirit. nor in the inter-
 est of any candidate for office. We
 are actHated solely by desire to cor
 rect very manifest and grieyous mis-
 take published 10 the people of the
 St. Francis Levee District by Col. J.
 F. Wood
 We feel assured had Col Wood been
 correctly informed. he would not have published the article in question. All
 who know Eugene Williams and his ] consistent. deyout religious character, will have n0 fears as to the safely of
 all public funds in his custody. He
 was born and reared in our midst, and
 We know him to be most estimable and worthy gentleman. The entire community stands ready to second him in any Iaudabie enterprise. He is energetic, capable and honest. The suggestion that he might default as treasurer of the Levee Board is too wild and chimericai. to utterly at va riance with his character, to be se- riously considered. But we will say for the benefit of those who have not the pleasure of an intimate acquaint ance with MT. Williams. that his bond as treasurer is more than ample to secure the funds intrusted to him.
 The amount of the bond is S575, ,000. The sureties according to conserva- tive estimate of their property. are worth in the aggregate $50, ,000 If l there is any reason why the tax payers should be alarmed on account ] of MT. Williams bond, We are unable | to discover 1t. Every one knows that d surety on q bond is liable in case of loss. not only for what he says he is worth, but also to the full extent of his holdings, less exemptions.
 Col Wood refers co the relation be- tween Governor Donaghey and MT. Williams as coalition. The same may be said with equal propriety as 70 the governors relation with every other of the twenty-fogr members of f the LeFee Board. If the people should become alarmed, all they nave to do is to go before the Legislature and secure the passage of such legisla- tion as will take tie power of appoint ment from the governor and give 1t to the people, who may select their mem bers by ballot or otherwise. Tie pre- sent system has worked without loss I Co the district for nineteen years. Is there any great reason to fear that it vii be less efficient in the future?
