$780, 1t was a suit for the amount
against M. Isaacs, who failed at Forrest
City, Ark, about eight years ago, owing
the firm that sum. Isaacs, it will be re-
membered, rendered, among other COM
promise effects, policy in the Knights Of
Honor for 1000. The value Of this was
entirely too contingent, and twas declined
with thanks. Isaacs is now in business,

time OF his assignment can be levied upon.

storehouse at Forrest City.
WHERE Is LITTLE JOHNNIE PHILLIPS?
The police were notified yesterday to
look out for Johnnie Phillips, tho eight
year old son OF Mrs. Sallie Phillips, who
resides at No. Arkansas avenue. Il
seems that the child has been ON n visit
to relatives in. Little Rock, and was put
aboard train there Monday and should
have arrived here Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. The following telegram, dated at
Little Rock on Monday last, shows that he
had left that city:
"MD. sallie Phillips, Memphis, Tenn;
Johnnie leaves Little Rock tonight for
home. Meet him tomorrow there.
"E. N. WILLIS"
Mrs. Phillips did not get this dispatch
until yesterday morning, consequently was
not at the train TO meet her son. II is
claimed that the reason the dispatch was
not delivered she lives outside Of the city
limits. II is probable that the child ar
rived here, but being unable TO find his
way home, is wandering around the city.
