EYE TALK

Do you know that the majority OF
people have eyes that are not alike?
Do you know that the majority of
those people do not know it? AL
most every day 1 tell some of my Gus
toners that their eyes differ and am
compelled to prove il TO them before
they will believe it. have seen peo-
pie totally blind in one eye that had
never before had tehir attention call
ed TO it. They had always worked
with both eyes open and did not
know that the one eye was doing it all.
While you are reading this cover first
one eye and then the other and see If
both are equal. You may be sur
prised at the result. Maybe not. If
there is a difference you ought to wear
glasses. Not ready made ones, but
glasses made especially for you. That's
my business.

When Parcel Drops
Whisky Found In 1t

Savannah, Dec. 6.-The accl-
dental dropping of parcel post
package in the postoffice yester-
day disclosed the fact that liquor
dealers are trying to use the sys-
tenn. About 25 packages, from
the same addressor, are now be-
ing held at the postoffice.
One and two quarts of whisky
appear to be in each package.
They are fixed up like jewelry
packages, and only the accident
disclosed the nature of the con-
tents.
The packages started in stead
ily Saturday afternoon and the
clerks noticed the large number
of packages of a similar size.
One was dropped, and immediate
" the odor of liquor permeated
the entire office. Postmaster Ba-
ker is holding them for the order
of the addressor, who loses the
amount paid on them in parcel
post stamps.

A Loved OneS Gone.

The little 3-year-old child of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Poster, little
Julia, died Saturday, the 4th, at
IL o'clock, of pneumonia croupe,
and was buried at Arbor Church
Sunday afternoon.
Little Julia was dear, good,
sweet child. All that knew her
loved her for her sweet DISPOSE
ton.
A voice we lovedis stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
that can't be filled;
Don't grieve, dear mother and
father,
For we know dear little Julia
is with our Dear Savior.
She can't come back, but by
The help of God we can go to her,
Oh! fold up the white robes of
my darling;
I can't look on them to-day;
The hours are SO long and so
lonely,
Since they carried my darling
away.
A FRIEND.

The STATE Pawnshop In Madrid.

Mr.. Bart Kennedy, in his book, "A
Tramp in Spain," gives an amusing ac-
count of the Monte de Piedad, "a par
ace of a place. and its amenities. He
tried to pawn a camera, but in vain.
The polite officials, however, coEde-
scended to take a revolver, but would
only advance 6 pesetas upon it.
1.-THE next day the money that l was
expecting came, and | went and re-
deemed the revolver. All had to pay
was 5 centimos "a halfpenny). IT l
had left the revolver there for a year
would have had to have paid no more.
The Monte de Piedad charged no inter-
est for small sums. I believe the D
centimos was the charge for the ticket."

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES
 RESOLUTION AGAIN.

The Democratic State Central Com mittee holds that it was authorized by resolution of the state convention to pass the resolution passed at it's recent meeting at Little Rock, which pro vldes that no one shall be entitled to vote in the democratic primary next March who refused to support the democratic nominee in the special election of last July; and further. that 1T anyone presents himself to vote whose democracy is of doubtful character, any well-known democrat may challenge that persons right to vote, and any one of the election judges shall thereupon cause the chal- lenged person, under oath, to promise to support the nominee of the primary.
 Rut granting that the state commit tee had the authority to pass the res olution, we do not think it would be the part of wisdom to use drastic measures against democrats who did not vote for the democratic nominee at the last election; and we indulge the belief that no drastic measures will be invoked Arkansas Gazette.
 The positions of the Gazette and The Times are identical in this par ucular. There is no call for any fur ther row over that special election within the ranks of the Democratic p3TlN

 We want to unite the political and commercial and even social factions that have come or are coming to exist here, and which are so detrimental to the best interests of this town.

A Happy Thought.

The following letter, which is self explanatory, was read in the rooms of the Crowley Ridge Institute last week, and met with hearty response from teachers and pupils, and neat little sum was realized for the purpose set forth:
 December IS, 1913. Prof. ]. N. Weatherly,
 Forrest City, Ark.
 Dear rSir:-Conditions of large num- Der of children who live in this city persuade me to suggest to you and other members of faculty that a small contribution be made by each child who may do so, on day prior to closing school for holiday, for the poor and needy children, and that donations be brought to the school building. l am constrained that this will be pleas ure and not a burden to the children. l suggest that committee be se- lected by you, other members of facul- ty and the children, to ascertain names and residences of the needy children, and that these articles be delivered to them by this committee.
 1 also suggest that you have all teachers call attention to this to chil dren in her room.

The Christmas Tree.

The children of fine Episcopal Sun day-school were treated on Christmas
 Eve at the rectory to the most gor- geous Christmas tree ever seen in this city. The tree-a cedar, very large and singularly beautiful V was fes- tooned with gold and silver tinsel, popcorn, and paper chains, gracefully adorned with many small red bells. and was abundantly hung with oranges, apples and pink and white stockings well filled with candy. Ey- very member of the Sunday-school re- ceiyed q handsome Dresent-a doll tastily dressed or some kind of pretty toy
 Ata little after G o'clock the lads and ladies came marching in, headed by William Aldridge as cross-bearer. and all singing Onward, Christian Soldiers" Every child spoke a few lines expressive of the inward and spiritual meaning of the season. When they had done their parts, the Creed and the Lords Prayer were said, and then the giving Of presents was be- gun. The very coldest heart in all the world would have been warmed 10 see the glad and happy faces of the little children who believe in and serve their Lord and Master Jesus Christ. Before they left the house, many of them told Mrs. Yerger that they had never had a better time in all their lives.

AS USUAL.

Many papers throughout the state, and other states. are not issued at all during the holidays, but The Times has not missed an issue for 2S years or more, and comes to you this week the same as usual, though greatly re- duced in size owing to the expiration of the extra Christmas advertising contracts which the enterprising mer- chants of this good city have had with us, and the fact that they have been too busy attending to the trade cre- ated thereby To prepare other and new copy.
 The last two weeks we gave our readers Is pages each week, and the two weeks before, II pages. We wanted to make it 20 and we have long had a restless ambition to print a 20-page paper one time, at least; and had we been we'll. we could have done so no doubt. III health alone pre- vented, we are sure, and we are very grateful to the public for this liberal patronage, and hope their investment has proven good one, and that they have been repaid dozen fold.
 There is every indication that busi- ness will really be better, that is, more substantial and regular, after the first of the year than it has been so far this fall and winter, and we hope by next week we shall be able to present practically complete new line of advertising matter for the business men of Forrest City. TX eep- ing everlastingly at 1t brings success" !" is true saying about advertising, and in this day and time the merchant who does not do so, and who does not give his advertising his profound at tention and best talent, will soon pass into "innocuous desuetude," and finally fail. He must be up and doing, up and at them, and keep his name and wares before the people.
 | The Times is very proud of its ad. vertising patronage, and believes it cannot be considered conceited if il states that it's advertising columns have been the most beautiful and at tractive from an artistic standpoint and filled with the choicest matter o any paper that comes to our exchange table. We have given our advertising patrons the benefit of our very bes, thought, skill and attention, in al honest effort to put them and theil 1 wares before the public in the most attractive and emphatic manner, anC The Times for the four weeks before Christmas was certainly beauty, anC the business done by our advertiser. was in many instances the greatest 1T the history of their business.
