 F. D. Boyle has authorized us to an nounce him as q candidate for tie office of mayor of Forrest City Mir.
 Boyle is too well-known to need en- dorsement from TIE TIMES. He is a thorough gentleman, a democrat, and
 a just, upright and honorable citizen. If elected mayor he will make fair and impartial judge, will care for the city's welfare with as close scrutiny. and as little scrupulosity, as perhaps any citizen that could be chosen. He has served the people before, and has record. Success to him.
