Street Paving.

Paving Piikoi street is certainly a
great public improvement just at
present. The pedestrians find the
street crossings rather primitive, but
very little complaint is heard. Peo-
Pile appreciate that street paving is
a good thing. The torn-up condi-
tion of the streets, however, has not
prevented @. j. Mccarthy from de-
livering the celebrated Rainier Beer
regularly. The consumption Of
Rainier Bottled Beer for family use
is growing larger every day. Phone

Judge Hutton made two import ant rulings Wednesday from the law docket. In the case of Joseph Kelley vs. G. B. Mallory, county eierk: The General Assembly of 1897 extended the time for redemp- ton of lands sold for taxes Tn 1895. The mandamus was asked tor by the parties who had bought lands for taxes at the sale of 1895 to re- quire the clerk 10 execute deeds, notwithstanding the extension act. h other words, it is an action to test the validity of the act, insofar as it applies to lands purchased by individuals. This court granted the writ, holding that purchasers had vested rights that could pot be affected by the act of 1897.
 And in the case of J. G. Stern vs. Robert Berry, the demurrer to complaint was sustained, the court holding that town lots, where siiu- ated in the overfowed district, were not included in the grant by the General Assembly 10 the St. Francis Levee Board.

The executive committee of the St. Francis Levee Board met in Memphis.

That winds up all the legal tormali. ties. and the firm will begin work within a short time. The work is to be completed by the lst of Feb raary, 1898, and will cost s77,- 7S7.60, according to the present estimate of the chief engineer.

There is sharp competition for the trade of the planters of this section, and other towns are reach ing out for trade that properly should come to Forrest City. The newspapers of these towns adver- tise prccs both of merchandise and what is paid for the products of the planter. The cotton and potato buyers of Forrest City are able to pay as much, or more, for these products as other towns, and they must do so from the begin ming until the end. There must be no complaint that the Forrest City market is short of the best in Eastern Arkansas. This falls crop of cotton is good, and there is no good reason why we should not receive 5000 or 10000 bales, as in years agone, And we will, if our buyers do their duty. The above is suggested to our mind by an item in the Arkoansas Demo- crat, which closes as follows, and is applicable to Forrest City: "A large per cent of the proceeds of such sales will be left Tn the city with our merchants, and the pros. perity of one is the good fortune of all."
