Left over from last week.

'''iN CNNi AlPiil last Ntth
The bankrupt stock of Turley
Brothers & Gillian, together with
the store and Office fixtures, which
invoiced S5,776.68, was cried off Mon
day to the highest bidder.
Among those who bid on the stock
were Mr.. Oscie Walker, of Palestine,
Squire f. Turley, of this city, and
Col. Ed b. Hill, of Cleveland, Missis-
slppi. The lattler gentleman makes
regular business of going about over
the country for the purpose of buying
in bankrupt stocks, and, it is said Of
him, that among the merchandise he
has purchased during his career, was
$4,000 worth of laces and embrolderies
at one sale and at another sale this
MissiSsippian bought half carload Of
shoe strings.
However, the stranger could not
reach the stock here Monday. 1t

to do with it. There was some talk
upon the streets Tuesday about an
effort being made by the late firm of
Turley Brothers & Gillian to buy in
their accounts, reorganize and start
in business anew The Times earn
estly hopes that some arrangement
OF this kind can be made, because we
hold all the young men interested, in
the highest esteem and would be re-
loiced If they could start out again
at the same old stand in renewed
and determined effort to retrieve
their lost fortunes.

Band Concert and Recital.
LEFT over from last weekly

One of the most successful and
highly enjoyable public entertain
ments held in this city for many a
day was the concert pulled of at the
Forrest City opera house on last
Thursday night, January %, by the
Citizens Band. Aside from the
splendid music rendered, the feature
of this happy occasion, for large
number of our citizens who enjoyed
it, was the recital of Miss Beulah
Williams, of Arkadelphia, who was
exceptionally pleasing and interest
ing in her reading of the sketch en-
titled, "The Lane That Has No
Turning" Miss Williams Forrest
City friends, since hearing and seeing
her on Thursday night, of last week,
are ready to bow in homage to her
talents, grace and piquant charm as
a reader and entertainer. The young
lady, who had been a guest in the
home of her relatives, Cashier and
Mrs. j, T. Fondren, returned to her
home in Arkadelphia Saturday.
The or oss proceeds of the band en-
tertainment and concert was some
thing like $40 and the members of
the band desire to extend their sin.
cere thanks to all who assisted them
in any way in making it the unquali-
fed success it = was. The band feels
especially grateful to Messrs. Becker
& Lewis who rendered the use of the
opera house free Of charge.
This band entertainment springs
the question of support for the band
during the approaching spring and
summer. Through the efforts of the
Monday Musical Club a beautiful
band stand now stands in the court
house yard,an The Times hopes that
the band will keep up it's organization
and continue the custom that was
launched here during the spring and
summer of 1912, that of giving pub
lie concerts in the open air once or
twice each week. These concerts are
always a source of pleasure to our
citizens and the band should be en-.
couraged and supported to the end
that they may be continued.

was published the first daily paper 1t
was produced by e. Mallet against
the ditch at Fleet bridget. e., on or
near the site Of the present Printing

s27,0OO,00O DAM OPENED

Keokuk, Ia, Aug 26.--The S27 ,000,-
900 water power development dam,
new government lock and drydock in
the Mississippi river at this point,
was opened today. Several important
power boat races have been planned
in connection with the celebration Of
the event. The dammng of the Mis-
sissippi means the furnishing of cleo
trical energy for st. Louis and scores
of other large cities and towns within
a wide radius. This is said to be one
of the greatest engineering projects
ever undertaken in America, and in
some way equals the Panama canal
in immensely. The big government
lock, constructed by the power COM
pany, is so large that two of the
largest river packets may go through
side by side, with many feet to spare.

A Darinu Ride,

During the Russo-Japanese war an
officer Of Cossacks offered to carry a
dispatch which ten horsemen had al
ready failed to get through The gen.
eral said that the effort was useless.
"The others have failed" the officer
insisted, because they Travelled on
horseback. shall go under my horse"
The general was astonished, but the
officers offer was finally accepted. He
started off In the middle Of the night
strapped face downwards under his
horse, which he guided by means Of
the bride through the forelegs The
Japanese whistled to what they thought
was a riderless horse. But the animal,
egged on by blows from the officers
heels, accomplished the journey Of
thlrty-five miles in safety.

Shetland Ponies In Mines.

While thousands of Shetland ponies
furnish amusement for the children Of
England, just as they do for the boys
and girls of the United States, a much
larger number are used in the English
coal mines. The tunnels of the Eng
lish mines are not nearly so large as
those Of the mines in this country, and
1t is necessary to have very small po-
MES to draw the coal cars from the
pits. The only alternative would be
to enlarge the tunnels, a plan which
would entail too heavy an expense to
be even considered by the English
mine owners. The limit in height Of
ponies used by the English miners is
forty-three inches. They prefer to have
them not over thirty-eight inches high,
low, stout, compact little fellows. In
the old days 1t was common practice
for English miners to use mother po-
MES when they were not In condi-
ton to stand hard work. But law
was passed some years ago prohibiting
the use of female ponies Of any age In
the mines. Recently another law was
passed prohibiting the use Of male po-
MES that are not at least four years
old. tonal StOckman and Farmer,

Foundation of japan.

Every Feb. II is celebrated in Japan
the great annual festival Of Kigenset-
su, the anniversary Of the foundation
Of the empire by the first emperor, jim
mu Tenno, B. G. geo. The Japanese
reckon their present era as from this
date, and 1t was on Feb. II, 1889, that
Mutsuhito, the one hundred and TWEEN
ty-first of the dynasty, promulgated
the present constitution of the empire
of Japan, the fundamental principle Of
which is clearly stated in It's first ar
icle, '9The empire Of Japan shall be
relgned over and governed by line of
emperors unbroken from ages eternal"
The organization Of parliament took
place in 1890, which In the japanese
reckoning would be 1850 from Jimmu's
setting up his capital at Kashiwara, in
the province Of Yamato, which is re-
garded by Japanese historians as the
beginning Of the empire.

THE CITY SCHOOLS

| L
Books for the city institute will be
as follows: Pyle's Educational
Psychology; Chubb's 1.-THE Teaching
of English; DeGarmo's Essentials
of Method"
The law requires that the new
books adopted by the state board be
used in the schools beginning with
the fall term.
We want to say before the opening
|of school that people who wish to
have their children excused from Ian
|guage courses other than English had
better consider well before making
such requests. The question of having
enough credits to graduate may give
trouble later on. Another thing to be
considered is that in case the pupil
later on desires to enter an institu-
ton of high grade the matter of Ian
guage credits may be in the way.
Pupils who have really studied dur
ing the summer and who wish to take |
their chances on examination in order |
to secure credit for such summer
work, are requested to notify the SUI
perintendent in advance of the open |
ing of school in order that suitable |
arrangements for the examination for |
such credits may be made.
In order to avoid disappointment it
is well to remember that the courses
in the Bryan schools mean work, and |
plenty of it, and that there is no easy |
road to credits. 1t takes hard work
to win anything worth while, either
in school or out in the great busy
world.
At the teachers meeting on Sep
TENDER all certificates for next year
not already registered will be brought
for registration. The law of Texas re-
luires that before contract with
teacher becomes effective, a valid
certificate must be presented and reg
stered.
Bryan teachers who were away
during the sumemr were as
follows: A. w. Kinnard, in Tulane
University, New Orleans, La; Roscoe
Bates, University of Colorado; Miss
Ada Board, University of Texas; Miss
Ray Montgomery, University of Wis
,onsin; Miss Allie Montgomery, Cor
,us Christi Summer Normal; Miss
Lucy Christian, Michigan State Nor
nal College; w. C. Lawson, Ohio
State University. 1t will be recalled
hat a number of those who could not
get away this summer have been at
ending school other summers. Bryan
schools are moving forward all the
ime.
Now. that looks good, but the fact
emains that summer work alone is
lot sufficient. Only those who have
habits and work regularly {
md all the time on their studies can
lope to keep pace with the trend of
he present day. A great man said in
public address the past summer that
le could correctly measure any of us
he only knew how we spent our
pare time. That is why we study all {
he time and try to bring the very I
'est to the Bryan schools.

OUR WEEKLY NOVELETTE,

Fireman, fireman! save my dear
child" cried a mother fierce and
wild. 'I-fear her new dress will get
all spilled"
With that the fireman got all riled.
The ominous cry of "Fire!" rang
out on the still, dark night. 1t was
not very dark, but yet it was still
night. A burning tenement was on
fire. The f1imsy brick framework
fought hard, but the flames licked it.
The throbbing of the fire engines
mingled With the hoarse voices of the
fremen, many of whom had bad
colds.
Suddenly a woman, tearing her
hair and carefully placing the pieces
in her handbag, screamed:
my daughter! She is on the eight
zenith floor! She was snoring SO
loud I forgot she was there. Oh!
who will save herr"
At thee words a handsome young
man who had been leaning against a
fireman, Irew himself up with one
hand to his full height.
Il will save her!" he said.
The distracted mother, her hair
being all gone, began to tear her
handkerchief.
Look whispered Mortified
spectator. Though she is eighteen
stories aoft, she is only ten feet
above the ground
mo WONDER returned another
spectator, who dad never left; this
is only play"
Shortly after that he saved her
