 J. w. Dennis has selected plans for a handsome twoStory residence to cost in the neighborhood of s40OO. It is to be erected on the beaurlful site just north ,of his present home. In this connection THE TIMES desires to say that Forrest City is far behind the times in the matter of modern houses. We believe there is not d half-doZen modern residences in the city, and nothIngfis more attractive to prospec- tors and visitors than beautiful homes. The comfort of suoh buildings alone reimburses the builders for their extra cost, and their advantage tc a town is inestimable. THE TIMES, without wishing to appear officlous, hopes Capt Dennis new home will be of the mod ern cut and great deal handsomer than any other in town.
