The Mayors Court.

Mayor Scott's court did first-rxte business, numerically speaking, last Monday; he tried and fined three of tho unruly portion of Forrest City's humanity on that day. Wo arc not, by any means, capable of giving the judge advice. but we believe 1t would be V good rule to fix the lowest fine at Ave dollars. and costs. unless there are somo mitigating circumstances very clear. for there arc many obstreperous fellows who would willingly pay . dollar and costs for the fun. as they call 1t, and the delectable privilege of painting tho town rel on \ serene Saturday night. Our vigilant marshal has good record for coppering tho riotOns and unruly. and while it is the certainty and not the enormity of punishment that with holds the criminal hand, it is yet possi- ble that the punishment may be so light as not to stay the inclinations of those who prefer a life of racket rather than noiseless serenity. In order to relieve the mayor of thc unpleasant responsi- bility of assessing five dollar nne for Il violation which the law says may bS, only one dollar, it would be meta for the council to revise the penalty laws. 1t is an old custom with judges and justices to fix the fine. for nearly every convicted criminal, at tho minimum limit, and it requires q bold. determined spirit to overleap 1t :: but 1t ought to be done. If the city must grin and boar vulgar conduct. 1t should have \ fair remuneration, for to compel city t' grin at vulgarity Is not in accordance with progress. We have remarked on the subject to make others think.

Several witnesses wore examined but nothing was ciicitcd of . p,sitsve nature that would lead to tho Identification and arrest of the perpetrator of tho terrible deed. It was iearued, however, that JoN loft homo last Saturday afternoon to go hxhtng. on . creek in the neighborhood. He did not return {: but his abeencc was not thought of ttll yesterday morning. when his dead boiy was found. Rcvery possible effort to bearu who committed tho murder. and to bring htm or them tO justice will Do made.

Tho City Council.

The city council held call meeting Tuesday night, but did nothing of i'm portance, except to announce the vxri aus committees, and assign to them their appropriate work. Following are the committees, as Mayor Scott ap. pointed them:
 Committee on Streets and Alleys, " B. lizard, chairman, J. D. Bangh, Dr ]. F.. Stone.
 Committee on Ordinance, T. (. Fol bre, chairman; Dr. J. F.. Stone, ChAs Delano.
 Committee on Finances, V. E. lizard chairman; T. C. folbre, J. D. laugh.

 Committee on Fire Department, Chss Delxno, chairman Dr. J. E. Stone, V. B. Ixard.
 Committee on Printing. Dr. J. E. Folbre.
 The rest of tho, time of the meeting was taken up in hearing the complaints. grievances, and arguments against the hog law. Several persons living out made harangues of considerable length in airing their views, and in giving their rcasors for thinking the hog or,li- nance onght to he repealed. Alderman lizard was the only member of the coun ell who took part in tho discussion. and specialized m favor of carrying out the will of the majority.
 Mir. D. Davis. the daddy" of Forrest City. made few pointed. and effective remarks in favor of letting the ordi- nance concerning tho hog alone. Mir. Davis advice will very likely be fol. lowed.
