Killing in Griggs Township.

A. L. Richardson shot al Poney Lancaster five times with a 3S-calibre Colt revolver yesterday afternoon just before sundown, two or three of the shots taking effect in Lanczster's left side and shoulder, from the effects of which he died in a few minutes Richardson says that at the time he killed Lancaster the latter was in the act of drawing 4i-calibre Colt pistol from a holster. with the intention Of shooting him, Richardson.l and that he killed Lancaster in self defense. 2 After the killing. Richardson, iu company with John Weeks. came on to Forrest City and surrendered him. self to Jailer John Tankersley who, locked him up in 8 cell in the county jail.
 Ever since Poney Lancaster ran away with 4 L. Richardson $ daugh- ter, during the Christmas holidays. at which time Lancaster carried Miss Richardson to Memphis and married her, bad blood has existed between the two men.
 Lancaster bore the reputation Of be ing bad man and a shooter. Rich ardson did not want his daughter 10 marry such character, and the fact that Lancaster outwitted him and 'stole the girl" as Richardson puts it, has ranked in his breast ever since.
 Lancaster came to town yesterday. On his way home it was necessary 10 pass his father-in-law's (Richardson' 's) house. It tseems that Richardson had given his daughter the means to go on visit to friends near Paragould, and Lancaster was angered because she had not returned. Lancaster stop ped in front of his father-in-law' gate to have it out" with him. Old man Richardson was not at home, but his wife and son were, and, it is said, Lancaster began to curse and abuse the whole family. During the time Lancaster was swearing and making threats, old man Richardson and John Weeks came up. Weeks tried to quiet Lancaster and make peace, but, il is said, he called out, Stand aside, old man, l am going to shoot" Then, " says old man Richardson, Il pulled my gun and opened fire on Lancaster, who fell from his horse, dead, in about seventy-fve or eighty yards from where the shooting started
 Both the Lancaster and Richardson families reside in Griggs township. about fifteen miles northeast of For rest City.

school Election.

For quarter of a century or more, notice of School Election" has been published in some paper in this city Drawing the law down to line point. perhaps the statutes did not author iZe it, yet usage made it right, and the people naturally expected and looked for the announcement to in- form them Of the time and place of holding it. Economy is the cry all over the country, and Forrest City is nothing unless she gets in the proces- sion, and the school board was the first 10 line up, through it's president, he deciding that the publication of a school election notice was Illegal, or not authorized by law; hence, out of 5S7 voters in the city, and l0l voters in the country, in School District No. :, 46s wasn't aware of the election or didn't care 10 vote. About four or five dollars were saved. The election was not fair expression of the peo- pie, but they will have to abide by the demands of a few Fortunately, good men were elected, but it is the prin- ciple involved. Some day some ire sponsible person may be elected.
 The following is the result of the election:

 On this occasion W. $ Hall, c. $. Blake and Tom Brown, three we'll known citizens of that town, were raised to the third degree, the secret work being directed by that patriarch in masonry and old time Southern gentleman, Col F. n. Hill, Of Cotton Plant.
 At the conclusion of the masonic ceremonies the lodge and visiting ma sons, sixty strong, repaired to the res taurant of Whitehead Bros, where the good ladies of Wheatley were waiting to join their Mason husbands and sweethearts about an amply spread and beautiful banquet board where nothing had been overlooked for the delectation of the company and the satisfaction Of the inner man. In the rear, where the lights were not quite 50 bright, perhaps, there was alse on tap two dark looking kegs, about which number of good stories were told between cool and inyigcr- ating sips Of foamiug amber fluid On the door leading from this magic room was found large white napkin sus- pended from adiaper pin, above which the inscription The Mason's First Pin"

Palestine High School Closed.

The closing exercises of the Pales- tine special consolidated public schools took place last night amid scenes of public approval. The graduates, Hell en Boswell, Leta Hall, Mabel Stayton and Nora Bell Hall, all acquitted themselves creditably. Hon. $. F. Sulcer presented the diplomas and Dr. F. W. Gee, of this city, delivered an address to the graduating pupils.
 Ex-Representatiye s. F. Sulcer says the year just closed has been the most successful in the history ofth schools of Prairie township. This, perhaps, is partially due to the fact that the Palestine school. consolidated with four of the schools in adjoining dis tricts, now constitutes one of the strongest rural high schools in the state. The people are becoming aroused to the benefits of the im- proved conditions and are duly ap- preciatiye.
 On Tuesday night an entertain ment by the different grades was giv- en at which time the high school pu- piis presented most pleasing canta- ta

 The next meeting of the city council will no doubt be most important one to the people of Forrest City. In line with resolution recently passed by that body and the appointment of a committee to look into the affairs of the several improvement districts of this city, il is expected that these dis tricts will make some accounting as 10 how the moneys that have passed through their hands have been spent. The reports of the several improve ment districts is matter in which all the people are interested. and The Times is certain tha. they will be awaited apxiously. l. is probable that the only reason reports of this nature have not been made be- fore. lies in the fact that they were never demanded, and the mnission- CTS never thought it necessary to make them.
