Sow is a good time for public spir
ited cit i/en* to fulfill the promise of
several years a^o t > furnish men and
teams an I put gravel f,n the new road
to Madison. The magnificent new
bridge having been completed and
tlirowri open to the pub’ic for tlieir
use and convenience, a go >d road on
tills side of the river loading to For
rest City is very necessary ii Forrest
City expects to profit I*y it and get
tiie trad** from the bott**nis. Good,
roads will lie a great temptation to
the people who live over there to
come here to get their supplies.
He is indeed blind that does not set- J
tl.at the patli of progress in Arkansas
Is marked h> the railroad. We 1*.
Ileve in tiie regulation of the rail
roads. In the enactment of laws to
prevent abuse"-, and to guarantee to
the people fair treatment. The rates
ought to lie reasonable, and there
should be no unjust discrimination.
< >n tlie other hand, we are most ear
estly opposed to legislation, the
tendency of which is toeitlier destroy
the railroads or seriously impair their
value to the people. All that a rail
road has to sell is its transportation
bf freight and passengers. Any laws
which reduce rates so that the gross
income is non-compensatory to the
railroad company, or any law that im
jxjses unjust and excessive burdens
upon tlie railroads in t lie way of ex
pense, ought to he condemned. I f a
railroad is prosperous, it will have the
means to extend its lines: to build
branches, to erect machine shops and
roundhouses, and all this means the
expenditure <»f large sums of money in
tlie State of Arkansas. Reasonable
revenues mean a proper maintenance
of tlie property, good equipment and
efficient service. An unreasonable re
duction of rates, or imposition of un
reasonable burdens in tlie way of ex
pense, of necessity mean |xx>r track,
poor equipment, slow and inefficient
service and the development of no
new territory. The people want the
railroads and they want them to l<e
prosperous, and any legislature which
does not meet this public demand will
not win t lie public approval.
ST, I'KtNCIS KIYF.lt KKlIKiE.
An event of vast importance trans
pired last Saturday at Madison. While
it attracted but little attention, its
importance is of incalculable value to
St. Francis county, particularly to
the bottom country and Forrest City.
It was the inspection and acceptance
of the St. Francis river bridge by
Commissioner DeRositt and Consult
ing Engineer II. N. l’harr. These
gentlemen have watched the con
struction of tlie bridge from its be
ginning, and minutely examined it
when completed and accepted it as a
good and faithful piece of work. The
bridge was thrown open to travel.
This structure is a lieautiful monu
ment to the progressive spirit of Judge
T. C. Folbre and the Quorum Court,
who started this work, and to I udge
E. A. Rolfe, Judge Follire's successor,
who pushed this work to completion,
and more particularly to Mon. F. W.
IH'llosi11, to whose untiring energy
the scheme of a bridge across the St.
F'rancis was born and carried to
snecess.
The bridge is a free bridge. Judge
Iiolfe desires us to state that a tine of
#g.")wiil lx- imposed on any one who
rides or drives faster than a walk
across tiie bridge, and t hat not more
than ten head of stock will U.* allowed
to cross at one time. Half of this tine
goes to tiie informer.
The road from Forrest City to the
bridge should lx- graveled, and it i
suggested 111at the merchants and
landowners contribute money, men
and teams to do this work without
cost to t lie county.
Haw kius-ritillip'.
Mr. ( ay Hawkins, cashier of the
Hank of Hawn s, and Miss < >llic l’hil
iips, were happily married by the
pastor at the Methodist church in
Haynes, on Wednesday night at 7:.i0
o'clock in the presence of a large con
gregation of friends.
The pretty little church had been
beautifully decorated fur the occasion
and the ceremonies were of a most
elaborate character. Both principals
are prominent young society people of
that town, who have a large circle of
friends, and wish to join these in all
good wishes and congratulations.
They received many lovely presents
as tokens of the high esteem in which
they are held.

The debate at Palestine iretween
Rev. Dunn and Kid. Pippin is attract
ing visitors from far and near and a
great deal of Interest is being mani
fested. 'J'iie current reports from Bap
tists who have heard some of the de
lates is to tlie effect that Kid. Pippin
has a little tlie best of his opponent,
as tie is an experienced debater. So
far as we are concerned,we could never
see the propriety nor the good of such
debates. They stir up strife and en
gender animosities, which are any
thing but Chiistian in character. The
lowly .lesu> would no doubt look upon
such discussions with great disfavor.
Mrs. Warshavsky returned this
morning from St. Louis, where she
had been for a week buying a fine big
shx-k of spring goods of all kinds.
They will move next week into the
building vacated by K. Turley & Co.,
and the new goods will arrive at the
same time. Wait and see all their
new novelties, and watch this paper
next week for big announcement
when there will l>e something doing.
Mr. M. Rutsky also returned and his
big stock of Racket goods will arrive
next week and be opened up in the
building now being vacated by 11. .1
Warshavsky. Live them a call and
see the 5c and l"c Racket goods.
< hie of the most enjoyable functions i
last week was at the elegant home of
Mrs. Alexander Becker and Miss Roc
ker, when on Saturday afternoon they
entertained at "5uo.” The game was
warmly contested, with victory for
Mrs. T. W. Harrow, who was given a
souvenir for highest score, consisting
of a (tair of beautiful silk hose. The
consolation prize, a pretty rose pin
cushion, went to Mrs. Edgar 1* Tay
lor, in tlie cut by all others present.
Those present were Mesdames (Jod
dard, Dickerson, Vaccaro, Marrow,
Marshal], Merwin. K. P. Taylor, Linn
Turley, Shields. W. Gorman and Mi is
Douglas-, of Memphis. Mrs. Kugene
Williams punched. A dainty salad
course was served.
The news of the death of Mr. T. S.
Thorn at his home at Madison, on
Tuesday morning, about 8 o’clock, was
j a great shock tohis many friends here,
I at Haynes and elsewhere throughout
! Lee and St. Francis counties, where
lie wa" well and favorably known and
highly esteemed. He leaves a wife and
two grown children, Mr". L. B. Jones,
with whom they made their home,
being his daughter. The remains were
interred in the Madison cemetery,
Rev. R. L. Wilford conducting the re
ligious ceremonies. The Times es
teemed Tom Thorn highly as it s friend,
and regret» his death. He was a good
citizen and a good man. lie In-longed
to t he old school of Southern gent le-1
men. and was a man of sterling integ
rity. We extend sincere sympathy to
: his bereaved family.
