What about that barbecue and i
celebration of tbe completion cf*
the new court house.
John T. Hicks, of Searcy, has1
finally decided to enter the comes’,
for attorney-general of Arkansas
Ho will prove a tower of strength.
The Searcy Beacon says: “B.
B. Macon, of Helena, candidate for
prosecuting attorney, spoko to a
50 id sized audience at the court
house Tuesday night. He i> an
able lawyer, a well informed man
and a good speaker. He has made
a very favorable impression on the
people ot the county, who like his
appearance, manner and the repu
tation he bears as a lawyer and n
Democrat. He has been excep
tionally fair in the treatment of
his prospective opponents for the
position he seeks.
It is desired to organize a Potato
and \ egetablo Growers’ Associa
tion in St. Francis county. The
movement is being talked up bj
some of our enterprising citizens,
a ad a call for a public meeting will
bs made in a few days. It seems
to us that such a step is necessari
to secure the best results to plant
ers, and every one of them should
take an interest in its organization
ai.d success. Other towns and
counties have their business
leagues, associations, etc., and ob
tain splendid results. Why not
be up to date and keep abreast 01
the times?
Congressman Load’s bill to altei
tLe postal laws relative to second
class matter (newspapers, books,
etc should bo termed “a bill to
encourage illiteracy.” It can have
no other effect than to redoco the
brain food of the common people
by raising the price. The object
of low postal rates is to induce a
reading habit among the people
Every dollar that is saved to the
government by Mr. Loud’s radical
reform-measure will mean the loss

tion out of all proportion to the
money saved. Send postal can.
protests against the bill to Con
gressman McCulloch and Senntor
Jlerry and Jones.
The office of Treasurer of St.
Fr tncis county is one that pays a
very small salary, but it is never,
theless one of the most important,
and should be filled by a man of
sterling integrity and good com
mon sense. Mr. O. K. Hambleton.
the present incumbent, is just such
a man, and has discharged the
duties of his high and responsible
ti ust in a most satisfactory manner.
'1 he Times therefore takes pleasure
m presenting his authorized an
nouncement as a candidate for re
election, which may be seen in the
announcement column. We hav**
known Oliver Hambleton for a
dozen years, and be is a square
tnan, a pood citizen, and atunds
strictly to his business. He sub
mits his name to the democratic
j arty whose destinies he has fol
lowed since his majority. If
chosen again for the position, he
will give the business of the office
the same careful, painstaking, and
s .fe attention which he has given to
it tft the past. He asks jour
sufftage, and certain!}’ deserves
j our most favprable consideration.!
Itt the place Teservcd forpoliti-j
ca'. announcements in The Times !
sfipears that of Mr. W. E. Willitms,
t ae present high sheriff of SL Fran
cis county. He is a candidate tor
re-election, and submits his desti
ny, so to speak, to the will o! the
Democratic party, a party which
he has served faithfully and well
«inco his majority. Mr. Williams
presented himself as a candidate
for the first time six years ago,
when many unfortunate complica
tions were besetting the democra
cy. and it required something more
than a democrat to pull the old
ship through the breakers. By
his untiring energy, his devotion
to the cause, and his personal pop
ularity, he, together with others
on the ticket were elected by good
round majorities. Those were try
ing times, and the result df that
election was a godsend to this
county, inasmuch as it broke the
backbone of Populism, which for a
time threatened to sweep the coun
ty, and had gained a strong hold
upon the county government.
Much of the credit of that victory
is due to W. E. Williams. Ho has
been an indefatigable worker, and
has been successful. Now, a»ide
from any political standpoint, Bill
Williams has made an excellent
sheriff and an honest collector. As
we stated some weeks ago, he has
been especially successful in the
ca ture of criminals. We presume
to say that he has captured a larger
per cent of lawbreakers than any
sheriff this county ever had. In
fact, his success in this line is phe
nomenal. As collector he has dis
charged his dbties faithfully and
well, and his work shows a very
hiuh per cent of collections. The
Times can conscicntiously say that
he has made a splendid officer. lie
asks that bis candidacy receive an
impartial consideration at the
hands of the democracy. This The
Times bespeaks tor him.
The new court house will be
completed next month. The town
of Forrest City should celebrate
th'S important event in a becom
ing manner. The Times thinks a
big barbecue and appropriate
speeches, with the county at large
as our guests would be the proper
caper, and will contribute to that
end. A leader is awaited. Aside
from the fact that it will demon
atrate and keep up our reputation
for hospitality and liberality, a
fitting celebration of the comple
tion of the court bouse, given by
the citizens of Forrest City, and at
their exclusive expense, to which
all the country people shall be in
vited, will create a better feeling
among the people and improve the
business and social conditions. A
meeting should bo called at once,
committees appointed and arrange
ments begun to carry out such a
programme. The timo is short.
Who will take the lead?
'Squire N. B. Nelson aspires to
be County and Probato Judge of
St. Francis county, and his author
ized announcement appears in this
issue of The Times. His long ex
perience as magistrate gives him a
general familiarity with the law,
and ho possesses qualifications
which fit ;him for the place. He
is too well known throughout the
county to require any introductory
remarks from us. He has resided
here lor a decade or more, and be
sides dispensing justice at his court
in town, has quite extensively en
gaged in farming. He asks that
his candidacy bo given the earnest
consideration of the democracy,
which he has always served, and
will appreciate the nomination.
The Times asks for him an impar
tial and unprejudiced considera
tion.
The Mississippi Valley Poultry
Association was recently organ
ized in Memphis. Capt. Jas. Fus
sell, of this city, became a mem
ber. The organization has for its
object the encouragemencof poul
try raising in the South. When it
is considered what an enormous
number of eggs, chickens, turkeys,
geese, ducks, etc, is consumed
each year, and tbo amount of,
wealth produced by the unsophis
ticated hen, it may be readily seen
the great importance of this in
dustry. With cotton at five cents, I
it behooves our citizens to take
advantage of other paying indus
tries, and this is one.

The office of County and Probate
Judge of St. Francis county,- is
perhaps the most important of all
offices, and the people should
always think long and soberly be
fore choosing an incumbent for
this high and responsible position.
L nfortunatcly the office docs not
pay a sufficient salary to command
the services of such men for any
great length of time, and we are
therefore confronted with the con
dition which will deprive us of the
able, conscientious and fearless1
services of Judge J. 8. R. Cowan
As will be seen from a perusal of
our announcement column, Judge
Cowan is a candidate for the office
of Sheriff and Collector of St.
Francis county. He has been our
County Judge for four 3-ears, and
while it is true that we like to see,
and believe in, rotation in office,
we would have been glad to see
Judge Cowan re-elected to the
office he now so ably fills. But
there is a limit to every man's
patriotism, 60 to speak, aod we be
lieve he laudably consults the in*j
tcrest of himself and family fcy
seeking a more remunerative office.
He has certainly demonstrated his
unselfishness by holding the office
of Judge for four years. When a
man has given four of the best
years of Ins iife to the service of
his count)- for the magnificent sum
of $1,000 a year, in depreciated
scrip, be has fulfilled his obliga
tions. Therefore, while, as above
stated, we would like to retain him
as Judge, becauso of bis value to
the people in that capacity, we
cannot but endorse his action in
aspiring to a more lucrative posi
tion. Judge Cowan, in our mind,
is a man among men. He is charit
able, brave, liberal and stern in
the performance of dul)\ His
qualifications for the office of
Sheriff are pre-eminent. His re
cord as Judge gives him a prestige
wun me people wnicn will be a
large factor in this race. He has
served them faithfully and well,
and it has been due to his enter
prize, zeal and hard work, that
we are now about completing the
finest court house in Eastern Ar
kansas. He has been constantly
hampered and handicapped by the
indebtedness of the couDty, but he
has been equal to every emergency,
and his administration Is a credit
to him and an honor to the county.
If chosen to fill the high and re
sponsible position of Sheriff and
Collector, fie will bring to bear
upon the work of the offieo that
same careful, painsta king, honest
and fearless administration which
has characterized his reign as
J udge.
The announcement column is an |
interesting feature of The Times
this week, and the people will be^
pleased to cote that of Mr. W. B.>
Mann, who aspires to the office of
Assessor. Mr. Mann has been
identified with the best interests of
the county for years. When the
writer came to Forrest City Mr.
Mann was the junior member of
the large mercantile firm of
Hatcher,Taylor & Mann. In later
years he has engaged in farming;
and stock raising. He has always
been a man of tho people—genial
and popular—and is highly cs-,
teemed for his sterling qualities ofj
head and heart by all who know
him. lie is known to everybody,
and is familiar with every foot of
ground in the count}'. He is a
practical man, and pcsesscs the!
