It is likely to be a year or more be- fore any change is made in the post mastership of Forrest City, and per- haps longer, if at all. But there is an old saying that ito the victors belong the spells, and while we believes some good democrat ought to have the post office here during the democratic ad- ministration, still we do not wish anything we may say about 1t to be construed as in any way intended as a reflection upon our good friend and splendid fellow. .townsman, Hon. T. O. Fitzpatrick, the present capable and efficient incumbent. He is giving first-class satisfaction, and there is no reason for removing him except that he is republican.

have always believed that play dealing with the tremendous power of our human thoughts, was really needed upon the stage Men and wo- men rise in the morning and go about their work, needless of tEe fact that il is their own attitude of mind that brings them success or failure. That is shown in The Rosary, a beautiful new play from the pen of Edward F. Rose, and produced by Rowland and Clifford, which will play at the Opera House next Friday. De- cember Is.
 You see the effect of thought on the different individuals. One character is that of business man, happily mar ried to wife who loves him But this thought is wrong-he habors fear, doubt and unbelief in the good that lies around him. He loses all-iortune home, wife, even his own self-respect. How does it end? Go see The Rosary.

A man who styled himself a "con- verted Jew" preached and pulled of stereoptican stunt at the Baptist church on Tuesday evening. and we are informed that quite number Of people turned out to hear and see.
 It seems that people are becoming more and more prone 10 encourage freaks, vaudeville and novelty in the pulpit. When good, clean, Christian men-men who walk uprightly and in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and who pass in and out among Us every day, enter the pulpit 10 preach the gospel, there is many times scarce ly corporaIs guard present 10 hear thedivine mesSage;but let reformed drunkard, a converted Jew" or all aold time gambler. come along and make an announcement to preach, aid as a usual thing the people will flock to hear him.
 The Times is ef the opinion that these strangers should be accepSi with grain of salt. We have good and con>ecrated men here at home, whom We know To be true and Cody. who are entitled to be heard These men visit the sick, bury the dead and administer unto the sutferings of the people. They are of us, by us, and for us they live among us as teachers and leaders, and we know them, but still, in large measure, We allow them to preach to empty pews, while on the other hand, when the stranger. with something novel in the way of q fake, perhaps, comes along, we turn out to hear him.
 The Times hasn't very much faith in these ''fiy by night" preachers, neither are we very strong for the preacher who gets up in the pulpit to abuse and viilfy his felow-citizen It is better to persuade. It is the gospel that wins mems souls toChrist. and novelty and vaudeville in the pull pill should be taboed.
 We have no faith in the converted Jew" He is probably converted for revenue only, land by this we mean nc reflection on the Jewish people, As a rule they embrace religion in which the race is well grounded, and as the Constitution of this Republic gives every man the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, The Times has no disposi- tion to take issue with the Jew and say that his religion is wrong. He has his own ideas about serving the Lord. and The Times has no disposition to interfere with him.
