FORREST CITY can he advanced in business, social and general interest by the erection of frst-class school build ing; by the building of creditable courthouse and jail, by completing the Episcopal church for which purpose the ladies have and gathered together about 5000; by the organization of a cemetery company, who will buy suita- ble and convenient grounds for this purpose and properly cared for; by en- couraging and assisting ill every way the canning industry; by urging the establishment of other manufacturing enterprises; by united effort to secure water works and electric lights; by re- vising and publishing the city's laws; by a more liberal financial policy toward progressive ideas, and by abol- ishing the town hog. Can we not hope for the fruition of at least the first of these longfelt wants ?

THE consolidation of twenty-three leading type foundries into gigantic trust is the latest defiance of the anti trust laws. The concern is capitalized at S9,0O0,000 and practically crushes out all opposition. A general advance all along the line of prices is announced and the publishers and printers of all books. newspapers, magazines, etc, are at the mercy of the "Amer;can Type Founders company" It is pro- posed to smash it.

It is said that one of the severest liquor laws ever passed IS that of the
 dramshop act in Mississippi. A liquor
 dealer can only do business in the front
 of hls shop, and it is counted misde-
 meanor to put up screen. There are
 many and heavy fines for any infringe
 ments of the law
 The citizens of Buffalo. N. Y, have entered on vigorous crusade to close tue saloons on Sunday. Taking warn l ing by past failures, they do not de- pend on hired hel p to secure evidence, but do 1t themselves by purchasing l liquor in parties of two to six and by
 taking photographs of the interior of saloons.
 The creature also," says Paul, | shall be delivered from the bondage

When l these are under perfect control of the will then we shall have attained to 1 that freedom from temptation and bon dage of evil habits described by the apostle as the ''liberty of the children
 of God" Will it not be glorious lib- | erty, when our flesh can tempt us no
 more because it is subdued by the Spirit? Through Christ each indi- vidual may attain to this liberty and by the union of many self conquered Christians. the whole race shall at last
 be lifted to the same freedom. The third elocutionary contest for

A. M. NASH is shipping large quantity of hard lumber to Pullman, Illinois, to the Pullman Car company. The timber consists largely of oak and is used for the heavier portions of the Pullman sleepers There is no good reason why this county should not furnish the outside world with many other things, such as canned goods furniture, wagon timber, cotton goods and numerous other manufactured articles.

ALL the members of the trades unions-carpenters, painters, etc-em- ployed in the worlds fair grounds at Chicago, went out OH a strike Monday morning. A failure on the part of the directory to observe certain features of the contracts under which the work men were employed is urged by the latter as reason for their action. Ii is hoped the differences may be ad jnsted SO as not to interfere with the progress of the show. Since the above was put in print the matter has been adjusted and the men returned to work after being out one day.

ST. FRANCIS RIVER BOTTOM
The st. Francis Leyee Board te Reclaim
 Nearly Two Million Acres


 Possibly the greatest levee work ever undertaken by d single corporation IS that projected by the St. Francis levee board, says tue Memphis Appeal Ava lanche. IL contemplates the reclama- tion of the entire St. Francis river basin by system of ieyees, the building of which will involve the expenditure of an immense sum of money. The St. Francis river empties into the Missis- sIppi short distance north of Helena, Ark, and its basin covers large tri- angle, which includes the entire sec
 tion of country lying between the Miss issippi river and the hill lands known as Crowley's Ridge. Nearly all of this vast tract is subject to overflow, the
 waters of the Mississippi pouring into it at flood tide and rendering it useless for purposes of cultivation.
 Arkansas capitalists have taken up the matter and have secured state and federal aid. They purchased tax titles to large bodies of land which had been abandoned as valueless by the original owners, and have also obtained dona- tions of state lands. These tracts it is proposed to reclaim by the building of d large levee. extending from the
 
 the highlands in southern Missouri, a distance of nearly hundred and fifty miles. Much of the work is of difficult character, and the expenditure will be very great. TEis will be met by state and county taxes. and if the work is carried into execution the gains will
 more than compensate the expendi- ture. The state has already donated l08 900 acres of land, to be disposed of by the board in furtherance of it's pro- jects, and other donations will follow of lands failing in arrears for taxes ill the counties covered by the St. Fran cis levee district. In addition, a tax is levied upon the lands reclaimed. The board has opened permanent office at West Memphis. Its officers are Col. II. r. Rodgers, of Marianna, president; Hon. Hugh McVey. of Oscs- ola. secretary; and Capt. II. N. Pharr, of LaGrange. engineer.
 At least sl00,000 will be expended

IN his communication to the town council. published in this issue, Mr Anderson Hatcher charges some very ugly work as being done on the new city hall and calaboose, principally in the use of inferior brick. Judging from sample bat taken from the work and left at this office by one of the aldermen it would appear that there IS some ground for this alarm. How ever, we have not seen the speci- fications and dc not know what kind ot material is specified. The building committee is composed of good. honest. reliable citizens and we believe they will see to 1t that their contract is faithfully carried out. The town can not afford to have a public building made of such inferior material as this sample. and the committee will cer- tainiy look 10 the interests of the tax paA CTS and when the building is com pl,ie let Us hope that il will be first class from bottom to top.

Street Car Rules.

Never tell the conductor you wish
to get off. He is supposed to know.
If you have three or four bundles.
lay them on the seat beside you, es-
pecially if the car is crowded. You
will not be so crowded yourself.
Always try to stop the car on the
near side of the crossing. You will
have to walk to the other side, and
this makes good excuse for jawing
the conductor.
Make a practice of whistling in the
cars. Your travelling companions
will be obliged to hear it, and they
may possibly delight in listening.
Cross you legs so that they will &C.
cupy the full width of the isle. This
will afford additional exercise to the
conductor, who is badly in need of
it.-Texas Siftings.

Little Emily had been very naughty
because her mamma would not let
her go out with a party of friends
with whom they were staying, and
she screamed so that every one in
the house was distressed and worried.
Her mamma had to lock her up in a
room and tell her she could not come
out till she said she would be good
and promised not to cry any more
Every now and then her mamma
would go and ask her to promise, but
she only screamed the louder.
At last a silence fell upon the
house, and when poor mamma opened
the door, there, stretched upon the
floor, lay the pretty weary little
form, and when the dear mother
drew her to her and asked the oft
repeated question, Twill you be good
and promise not to cry any more2"
the pretty eyes looked up, still full
of tears, and the little girl said, Eyes,
mamma, I'll be- good and promise
not to never, never cry any more till
some of my dear relations die. -

People Who Read Dickens.

A year or two ago a lady-an
American-was walking along Lon
don street and looking curiously at

with old keys and tools, others with
fruit and vegetables, some with
cheap jewelry and here and there
one with books.

pail turned upside down and set out
IN the street. She was bent nearly
double over the volume that she
was reading, and in which she was
SO absorbed that she did not see OF
hear the lady approach, pass behind
her and look over her shoulder
The book was the "Old Curiosity
Shop" 1t was queer coincidence
that some months before that lady
had asked a class in a fashionable
New York school to name their ia
vorlte book, and it, too, had beer

Interesting Scenes In Tangicr.

Tangier's beauty lies in so many
different things-in the monklike
garb of the men and in the white
muf1ed figures of the women; in the
brilliancy of its sky and of the sea
dashing upon the rocks and tossing
the feluccas with their three cor
nered sails from side to side, and in
the green towers of the mosques and
the listless leaves of the royal palms
rising from the center of q mass of
white roofs, and above all in the col
or and movement in the bazaars and
streets. The streets represent alb
solute equality They are at the
widest but 3 yards across, and every
one pushes, and apparently every
one has something to sell, or at least
something to say, for they all talk
and shout at once and cry at their
donkeys or abuse whoever touches
them. A water carrier, with his
goatskin bag on his back and his fin
ger on the tube through which the
water comes, jostles you on one side,
and slave as black and shiny as a
patent leather boot shoves you on
the other as he makes way for his
master on fine white Arabian horse
with brilliant trappings and huge
contempt for the donkeys in his
way.-Richard II. Davis in Harpers
Weekly.
