1Mrs. r. Scott was taken suddenly III
yesterday, and for awhile the commu-.
uity was alarmed for her safety. Three
attacks of apopexy or heart failure,
each of which it was thought would
prove fatal, were endured and con-
quered, and THE TIMES is glad to he.
able to state that Mrs. Scott is much,
better this afternoon.
The ladies of all the churches, in fact
OF Forrest City. are at the helm of the.
benefit which they will tender the For
rest City Band next Thursday night at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs Roll wage.
The success of their several entertain.

The Forrest City baseball team.
played a series Of two games with the
Clarendon team Wednesday and Thurs
day. at Clarendon. We have been un-.
able to learn much of the scientific
playing. but it was great. The first.
game was won by the Clarendons by Al
score OF IL to 6, and the second by our
boys by score Of IL to I. The rub.
game will be contested in this city
next month. Our club was courteously
treated by the Clarendon folks. but
few of them would like to have the.
picture or scalp of the short stop.
The city council should pass an ordi-
Dznce, ii necessary, prohibiting the.
emptylng OF Stops upon the awnings
around town. Aside from the filthy
stencil arising therefrom. and which
would properly come under the head of
committing nuisance on the public
streets, several ladies have had their
dresses despatched and ruined We
believe, however, that gentlemen with
rooms and offices over the stores, will,
when their attention is called to the
matter. instruct their porters to aban-
don this lazy and sickening practice.
Ed. w. A. Gibboney, of Wynne, ar.
rived in the city Monday. and together

much new and bright music at the

part. He IS full of fire ard earnestness

cess in his work. He has organized
male quartette which will sing at the
church upon stated occasions.
A merchant in town tells a good
joke on Phillip Bell, a negro. A short
time ago Phillip made overtures to the
merchant for supplies. Said he wanted
about $50 worth, and wouldn't need
any meat" A mortgage was taken
and the account opened. A short while
afterwards the neighbors began to miss
their meat. Phillip had discovered a
novel method of securing his meat
supplies in the dark hours of midnight.
Over confident at the success of several
small raids on his neighbors meat
houses, he determined to make one
grand and final haul, which he did
and got caught, and the county is now
supplying his rations.

OF the country than all other diseases

years was supposed to be incurable.
For 2 great many years doctors pro-
