miles from Detroit. Just before the
close of the senatorial term, Mr.. Jones
came to Detroit on a visit and during
his stay here became mentally un-
balanced, necessitating his incarcera-

reciprocated infatuation for a Detroit
lady is understood to have been the
prime cause of the senator's mental

Better think 1t over several times before you quit taking your county paper because of some grievance, real or imaginary. The withdrawal of your patronage can't possibly bust the paper. and the chances are that II is right, and that you will borrow it the next week from your neighbor. If we were to get mad at newspaper and order our name taken from it's list of subscri bers, we would actu- ally be ashamed to read the paper that our neighbor pays for. Let s be consistent.

The Curfew Bell.
LANDvoIGT < VADAKIN.

IL will be seen by perusal of tae Council proceedings that the women have petition for "Cur- tcw" ordinance. Such an ordi- nance requires boys under eigh- te"1 years of age to be off the streets ten minutes after the ring. ing of the Curfew bell, which should occur about s o'clock, ?. m. Many towns in Arkansas and other states have such laws, and from the information before us, they are n the main very satisfactory in results, and quite efficacious in Keeping our boys out of mischief and away from places where they would be ashamed to be seen in the day time.
 Oar neighboring city of Stutt- gart has such law, and the news papers there speak in highest terms ot praise ot its wholesome effects. These newspapers deny taat the law undertakes the gov ern ncnt of children or that it takes the same out of the hands of the plrents. And we concur in that belief, the idea being to create an alxiiiiary paternalsm which will aid parents in the government of fraclious and disobedient bows. when every other means has failed. That there is too much latitude given the boys of this town, or taken by them in spite of parental objection, no one who perambu- iates he city after dark can gain say. Ii the fault is with the boy the Curfew ordinance will be a eoon 10 the grief-strioken parent. II with the parent, it will point out 10 them q duty which they must perform-that of keeping the boys al home, and to do which they must make home attractive.
 The Curfew ordinance is a good thing in itself. But no law can ac. complish it's purpose without a 
 healthy public sentiment to back it up. Let it be given fair trlal, md be enforced strictly and with 'tier impartiality, and if the ninty-

1t IS desirable 10 have a gymna- sum m town, and the proposed efforts of some of the ladies Tn that behalf is worthy of encourage ment. Nothing so much developes the physical man as wholesome exercise. Nothing so promotes health; and the amusemeuts fur nished in place of this character to both sexes, are beneficial and elevating. Gymnastics "an and should be practiced by both sexes. It is attractive, healthful, exciting and interesting. Besides, a well-or- dered gymnasium provides a place and means of keeping our boys, who have their holidays, off the streets, where they get into more or less mischief or bad company. 1t has been suggested that County Juuge Cowan might permit the use of the old court house for this bur. pose, when the new is completed, and, If not free, at least for a small rental, and knowing him, as We do, to be philanthropist of no small calibre, we doubt not that he will do so, if not inconsistent with his prerogative.

No good citizen should complain
 at the action of the Board of Equal ization in properly equalizing his property. No person denies that the assessment is shamefully low, and besides 1t is not right to shift and shirk the responsibilities of government, especially its expense.
The Forrest City times., 1897-09-24

The laying of the cornerstone of the new courthouse will indeed be an suspicious occasion, at which ten thousand citizens ought to be present. Nothing has eyer been accomplished heretofore in this county which reflected, as this does, the enterprise and advancement of her people. Every taxpayer is personally interested and should feel pride in the progress we are m aking.

Talk about the gold discoveries! Why, the Board of Equalization has discovered and put s250, ,o00 on the market in four days. For finding wealth their labors rival the explorers of the now famous klondlke regions.
The Forrest City times., 1897-09-24

The Board of Equalization, com- posed of James Russell, Riley Ken. drick and E.Turlcy have given their valuable time and labor in the hon. est discharge of their duty to their country, almost without compensa- tion, and they have justly raised the assessments of a large mum Der of people. In fact the raise is d. most general. 1t is 10 be hoped that those who have been ralsed will not run to the court complain ing and beseeching It to reduce their assessments. 1t is right and just that each and every one should carry their share of the public bur den, and 1t is to the interest of all taxpayers to put county scrip upon a par, thus saving thousands of dollars. This can only be done by proper assessment.

A conservative estimate of the taxable wealth of St. Francis County places it at not less than six millions of dollars. If prop erly assessed the rate of taxation could be reduced, and we would pay no more taxes than we do now, but what we started out 10 say Is that even after the Board of Equalization has had it's say in raising values, the assessment will not reach the three million mark Should any one complain of that?

they know, will be fed, clothed, educated,
