The Forrest City times., 1898-04-08
CIRCUIT COURT.

Some considerable business has
been transacted i'm the Circuit
Court since last Friday, despite
the fact that the Williams case
"took up" about four days OF its
time.
Yesterday afternoon the court
met in its handsome quarters in the
new court house, and the court can
now sit with some degree of dig
nifty. Upon parting from the old
structure Judge Hutton made Il
few appropriate remarks and the
following lines were picked up
near his desk. He could, perhaps,
tell who renned them. At any
rate they mean lots more than
they say:
Farewell! FAREWELL. to these dingy walls.
Where spiders weave their subtle web;
Where pestilence walks and vermin crawls.
And life's pulse beats weaken and slowly ebb
We go TO precincts both fresh and fair.
Made grand by the genius of the builders art.
We have no regrets that tend to bear
! Gloom to the soul or sadness to the heart.
by Mark Twain"
