Those who were confined in the city prison were also transferred to the new quarters. The sheriff gave all new clothes and new bedding befvre putting them i'll the new house, and re- qulred them to take good bath. So everything up tdere starts out new and clean. and the large expense of board Ing the prisoners at Marianna is stop ped and the money will now circulate in Forrest City.

The Climax of a Farce.

Last Friday the case of gol,n C. Ward. charged with carrying a pistol came up before Squire Boyle. It will be remembered that Ward was the cen- tral figure in the seance at Squire Nell sons court couple O. weeks ago. 4 jury was asked for and the following were empanneled: J. w. Moore, $. k. Bog9s. Jim Kink, $. A. Boggs, J. N. Williams and Joe Rodgers. N, E. Fizer the defendant, while R. J. Eard was for the state. FEer read the law, which one of he.jurymen said was '"pinted" in it's declaration that when a person was away from home he could carry all the pistols he chose. Then Fizer grew eloquent and easily con- 'vinced the jury that the moon was made out of green cheese. The defen- dant was discharged on the ground that he was lon a ajourney." Ehe com cmunity was shocked at the verdict, and even the evenly-balanced Squire was SO upset that he has not yet recov- cred his equilibrium, but he was power less in the premises. MT. Fzer thinks lse will have mo trouble in having the other cases nOlle pressed.

The Taylor Rifles.

Pursuantito a call large.number of young men assembled at the court house Tuesday evening, for the pur- pose of organizing.a military company ,Dr. Matthews was called to the chair, and in a few we'll chosen words stated the object of the meeting. John Brady was chosen secretary. The roll was called and names entered on'the roster. On motion the name of Taylor Rifles was adopted. The secretary then read tue Militia laws for the ediflcation of the organization. Much enthusiasm was manefisted, and it is safe to say that the Taylor Rifles is a'permanent fixture in our midst. The meeting Was adjourned until tonight when officers wilhbe elected and laws for the ,aov- ernuent ofsthe company enacted.

An alarm of artillery in town TueS- |dav night almost causeda panic among Ethe women and children. It was in- Etended t0 convey the intelligence of a lire. which illumned the horizon to the |south some or g miles. Onr eGrst thought was that the business Ehouses on the'south side were burning land household was confusion. sOn EIeaci,ing town and learning that the lire was at Haynes, we were much E Suppressed with the ridiculouSness of 1.-the situation. and returned to the bed |trem which we had been.lilcbed by the bad judgment of the alarmist, vow |ing to get even with him if it took a lifetime. We had other thoughts, too, |1hich we believe ought to be publicly EexpreSsed, and we believe they voice ethe sentiment of large majority of the people of Forrest City. We thought how strange that so many persons had q pistol handy to shoot off OF the first indication of an opportunity, and won- dered why they are permitted to carry them in defiance of law and the peace and welfare of the community. Men who carry pistols ought to be ashamed ot themselves and quit it, and if they dont ought to be arrested and fined to the fullest limit of the law. Men who
 tote pistols around with them must be suppressed and taught to respect the
 laws. such men are dangerous. not
 because of their bravery either, Git is
 no sign of bravery tocarYy d pistol) but
 because they are eXcitable, and when
 excited get crazy, and a crank is the
 most dan gerous foe to law and society.
 There is another point, which we de-
 sire to make and emphasize, viz: The
 practice of firing guns and pistols as a
 fire alarm should be stopped. and the city ordinance prohibiting the discharge
 oi hredrms'within the city limits strict
 ly enforced by the authorities, and
 some other alarm adopted. We sug-
 gest that the city council should regu-
 late this matter, and that there should
 be an alarm bell, with alarm and sig
 nal regulations. which would indicate
 the direction or location of a fire. The Presbyterian church bell might be used
 or the city faight purchase a bell of it's
 own and have it erected in a conven- lent place. The alarm now used is en-
 titely too full of terror, and we sincerely nope that the council will take some
 steps looking to something k5etter.
