The STR. ST. JOSEPH left New
Orleans last Monday, where she
has been completely overhauled,
re-painted and refurnished, and
has resumed her place In the trade.
Judge Reber felt that it was due
to the patrons of the st. Joseph
that no expense be spared to make
irst-class in every respect and it
has been done. 1t is pleasure to
travel on such a boat and her
officers use every effort to make
her passengers feel at home. Our
town is proud of her namesake.

That's Honest.

The Forrest City Times in It's
last issue calls the Index to ac-
count regarding an item that APP
peared in these columns last week
stating that twenty bales of cotton
were sold in this market a few
days before that were raised within
three miles of Forrest CITY. and
asks for the names of the parties
who sold the twenty bales here.
The Index printed the item on
authority of q reliable buyer, but
we have not been able to secure
the names of the parties who sold
the cotton referred to in the item.
But in our investigation we have
secured a list of names of parties
from Forrest City territory who
have sold their cotton here on
other dates, and for the benefit of
our friend we give them, as fol-
lows: On Oct. Is, Henry Banks,
miles from Forrest City, sold Al
bales here; same date Clarence
Hines, 8 miles, l6 bales; same date
W. {. Ferguson, miles, 5 bales;
Oct. l6, Henry Banks, 7 miles. 68
bales; same date, A. Bird, 5 miles.
40 bales; Oct. 2l, W. G. Ferguson.
miles, sc bales. Mr.. Ferguson
also brought Is bales to this
market yesterday. These names
are not all that we can furnish
but are sufficient to show that cot
ton from within few miles of
Forrest City is being marketed
here nearly every day. The Index
Will not at any time do an Injustice
to Forrest City nor misrepresent
her people, but as long as this cot
ton market is the best and trade
comes to us from her territory.
The Index will be found saving
so. Just az The Times would do
were the circumstances reversed

The west line shuts out nearly.
if not quite, fifth of our actual

the territory between Washington
street and the actual suburbs of
the city. This is an area of great
value. Many beautiful and sub,
stantal homes and prominent citi-
zens are situated just over the line.
The properly is rapidly increas-
ing In value because the town is
building in that direction. The
citizens there enjoy all the con-
veniences and advantages of living
in town, and have none of the
purely town restrictions. They
get the benefit to some extent at
least of all public works and in
stitutIons, the same as other por-
tons of the town, and saving the
imaginary line which bars them

US to push forward. The addition
of this valuable property to the
tax roll of the corporation would
greatly augment the revenues, and
permit Improvements already be-
gun to be extended and completed =.
If not already sufficiently large,
the lumber of citizens added to
the roll would certainly entitle us
to city government of the second
class.
There are quite a number of citi-
zens living outside who would like
to be taken into the corporation.
We do not know how many, and
We do not know that any person is
opposed to being taken in. If so,
he can state his troubles TO the
courts. There are two WAYS to
annex: One by petition of the
residents of the territory proposed
to be annexed, and the other by
application of the council to the
