A Good Law.

A good. though stringent law, which has inst passed the Mississippi legisla- ture. aud oae that has received the fla. yorable commendatIon and approval of the press in and out of the state is that by which an assignee becomes ''the re- ceiyer of the court and must give bond exceeding the value of the property as- signed and make all creditors parties to the assignment This law should prevent the perpetration of much fraud, as 1t is frequently the case that an assignee is d mere blind.

 A Statement of Facts Which Reads Like
 an ImpossibiIify, Hut Alasi
 u Is Too True.
 In looking over our subscription books lately we find that we are due q large sum of money from it. We find that very many of our subscribers owe us for TIE FORREST CITY TINES one two, few three, and some as high as four years. Think of it The injust- ice of making us wait four years for sl.5O. The amount which each indiv- ldual subscriber owes LIS is not large. Tn fact, it is small. But when We make the statement that we have nearly !5O of these small accounts, 1t will be readily seen that by adding them together we have a large sum of money due us. The fact is we have mailed statements of sub scription accounts to subscribers aggre- gating over 5000. We need this money very much. We have endeavored to publish the newsiest county paper in Eastern Arkansas In this we feel that we have succeeded because we are told so nearly every day. but we desire to do better still and will do better if we are promptly paid for our paper, and our advertisers continue to reach the peo- pie through us. It is important, there fore, that every person who is in ar rears with US should respond to this notice and the statements mailed and being mailed. X statement has been mailed to every subscriber who is in ar rears twelve months or more, and to many others. Please do not delay, but call and pay or send us what you owe HIS by registered letter or other safe means. We have waited on you pa tientIy, Please do not keep us waiting longer.
 Quite number of our friends to to whom we sent statements have re- sponded, and not only paid amount due but also in advance for twelve months. We appreciate very highly this consid eration, and cite it here as most laud- able example to others. There is yet due us on subscription accounts some thing oyor SS50- Unless previously paid many of those who are in arrears more than two years will have to set tie with our attorney, in whose hands we will place their accounts next month This notice is not intended for those who have called and paid their subscriptions mp to date and a year in advance.

The Republicans Ahead.

Northern republican papers have had much to say about the defaulting deIn- ocratic state treasurer5 in the South during the last year, but the national figures have been collected and it ap- pears from these that the embeZzlements throughout the country amounted to Sl9, ,720 .29i, of which Pennsylvania supplies over S7,000, 900, New York S5, 300 900, Massachusetts Sl ,558 ,492 and Illinois s6l0,S74. This leaves about s 000 GOO for all the other states in the Union. This would seem to be strong argument for the necessity of New and Revised north.

Must PAY for School Lands.

Speciality a recent decision of the
secretary of the interio! it appears that
the railroad companies which have
entered this state and have run across
school lands will be compelled to pay
in cash to the state tie value Of all
lands thus appropriated fer right Of
way. 1t has been supposed Ill along
thai the railroads would not have 70
lay for these lands and that tie state
would be Unidentified for the loss by
beng given the right to select other
government lands. AT the minimum
price of $40 per acre the railroads will
have to pay the state some $50, 1000.
The railroads may refuse to pay this
sum, and i'll that case some big cases
may result. The land commissioner
has already gone to work selecting the
indemnity lands.

ion that one of the democratic con-
ventions will be held m this city.
With reference to delegates to the
Chicago convention. he believes good
men will he elected and that they will
go un,nstructed, though they would
probably be in favor of a western man.
1t is too early to make any prediction
with reference to nominations for state
officers. He believes that a campaign
of two or three months Is better than
a longer one.
